This place was very spacious with tons of seating. The atmosphere was friendly. The customer service was great too. I loved all the syrup options that they offer. I ordered the Matcha with Toasted Marshmallow syrup and a cowboy cookie! Everything was perfect. I loved every moment of being here.

Good idea to have a date night special for food and games: by the time Friday comes around we're usually too lazy to cook because we're exhausted! What better place to unwind, playing board games on the huge tables is most convenient but the smaller tables are more cosy. Nice selection of games too and good advice about what games to play and HOW to play them! I like it that they added some local games / locally designed games, nice touch. Oh yeah and try the floats too.

It was a lovely shopping experience, with plenty of room to socially distance. We stopped in to check it out and picked up some cucamelons, fancy lemongrass ginger fizzy water, Berkeley North BBQ sauce, and some drinks from the cafe. I love their cold brew and hot coffees, teas and cocktails. So many yummy pastries, produce, cheeses, meats - all farm sourced. There are some grocery items which are arranged on a huge wall of repurposed wood shelves. There is a dedicated spot for flowers / florist with varying bouquet sizes, and plants throughout the space. Looking forward to our next visit!

I'm sure in the summer I will have better luck. The inside is cute due to the graphics on the wall. It is a little small, so on summer days when I'm sure it's packed, don't plan on sitting inside. It's really lose tot he mountain brow, so I would recommend getting your ice cream and then go for a nice walk along the brow (weather permitting).

Not…read moregoing to lie, given the nature of the puffs, I did worry that delivery wasn't the way to go but we took the leap anyways and these ended up being so good! They took about an hour to arrive and we got 4 flavours: choco-loco, strawberry, cinnapuffs, and caramel. From the first bite, we were all in love. So much so that my sister had to call the restaurant to find out what kind of oil they fried in (canola) because she felt my brother-in-law HAD to try these. His first bite ended with a "wow". These were sweet but not as sweet as you might expect and despite the delivery time of maybe an hour, still had a great crunch! Our order of deliciousness was choco loco, cinnapuffs, strawberry and than caramel (much to our surprise). We will definitely be trying others! We also got a milkshake and hot chocolate. Both good but the puffs are the obvious standout. Ambiance and service is hard to speak to since this was an Uber delivery but the lady on the phone was helpful enough and the branding of the product is clear and bright. Plus, everything came packaged nicely.

Oh em gee! You will not be sorry for pulling into this delightful place! The food (puffs - all I've…read moretried so far) is drool worthy. The service is quick and it has a nice ambiance. You can see them make the puffs fresh right in front of you! I got two of their most popular flavours (chocolate bueno and strawberry cheesecake). Will definitely be going back to try some other flavours. The puffs have a light and crunchy taste that just melt in your mouth .

Upon arriving I noticed how the convenience store was connected to the store and I wasn't sure where all the nice Instagram backdrops people have taken at the place were until I asked the person working there and he said it was at the back! There is such a big variety of flavours that I need to go back as soon as possible to try the others! The guy working there let me try some of the other flavours before I finally settled on the unicorn ice cream half and half! The half and half is super pretty with a sundae at the top and a shake at the bottom and it is incredibly filling as well. The back was closed off for cleaning but they were finished cleaning upon receiving my order and although they mentioned it being wet I safely walked across the seating area and made it to the iconic backdrop with light bulbs. Overall it is such a pretty place aside from the front but the ice cream though is definitely amazing!

There's also parking on site which is a plus! My go-to is usually the Unicorn Half & Half (half milkshake, half ice cream), which is topped with cotton candy, nerds, rainbow sour strips. The ice cream used is bubble gum! If you're not interested in their options listed, you can always creat your own! For the piece, you do get a large serving as well. Their paninis are also delicious! I love their Doritos Chicken Panini ($6.99). It is one of my favourites and is something I'd recommend trying.

I can't remember the first time I came here or where the recommendation came from in my social circle, but I absolutely love everything about the hearty hooligan. the staff are so great, welcoming and inviting in all of the years I've been coming here. each one of them will absolutely go out of their way to make recommendations, talk about specials, or just be social. the food is the most important part for me, I've been going through some wicked health issues which have lead me down the path to rely on more veggie and vegan options for my food intake. thankfully after trying about 50% of the items on the menu, my health issues have not reared its ugly head. If you didn't pick up on this from my glowing review, i will absolutely drive to this place when and around the Hamilton area, its that damn good on all levels with zero faults The pizza pockets are to die for, I grab a half dozen each time i come here because I do not live close to here at all/not in the area often my highest recommendation possible 5+++++/5

Entry is a single door with a ramp on the inside. Servers were quick to seat my friend and I. Service was polite and timely. We both ordered our own "Teenage Feast" which included Two eggs prepared to your taste, thick cut bacon, sausage, choice of toast, served with dutch mini pancakes, butter parsley home fries / salad or half & half. I opted for scrambled eggs, home fries, and rye (they also had sourdough as an option!) The meal was very filling, could definitely be shared between two peckish people or saved as left overs for later. Meal has a blend of sweet and savoury, leaning more on the sweet side. The sausage is sweeter than others (I enjoy this but I know it's not for everyone. The Dutch pancakes are so cute and little, coated in icing sugar, and served with maple syrup on the side to dip. For drinks I ordered the Maple Foam Cold Brew. Make sure to stir/not put your straw at the bottom of the drink or you'll get a hit of maple! Once it's stirred it tastes great. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu (I'm eyeing the coffee flights)!

4.5 stars. Great…read morevibe, lovely staff and food comes up very quickly. It is predominantly a breakfast spot and even some listings will have it as "Montrose Breakfast". Nonetheless, they do have a few sandwich options and are open at lunchtime as well. I went back to back days. Day one was the smash burger and I got 50/50 with salad and curly fries which is a nice option. The next day I did the Nashville fried chicken sandwich with the same sides. Everything was very fresh and tasted very good. Both sandwiches perhaps were missing a bit of an X factor that would have me telling people it's an absolute must visit. For example, the smashburger probably could've been a bit more savoury (even greasier) to be a true smashburger, and the Nashville chicken spice level was pretty mild. All that said, it was made fresh and very tasty too, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone either. And like I said, I didn't even try the breakfast items which is the main part of the restaurant anyway.
