Really friendly staff and a great selection of snacks and gifts that rotate seasonally. My friends and I really love the ready to bake scones they have in the back fridges, and I'm such a sucker for the shortbread cookies as well. Flavours change often so there's always something new to try, and a few staples that are always in stock. Definitely worth a look, especially if you're Gluten Free (they have a whole fridge of meals with no gluten!).

Great friendly staff , amazing prepared frozen meals . Review would have easily made five stars but found the pricing a little high for the average budget. Give Dana Short a try for an amazing prepared meal . Personal favorite is meat loaf over mashed potatoes. All the prepared meals I have tried so far have been of outstanding quality!!!

Okay let's talk winter: they have SO MANY flavors of hot chocolate. Colour changing hot chocolate, peanut butter, cherry, white chocolate, coconut, etc. I bought a bunch of them to use as stocking stuffers and I'm so excited to try them all. Also, I used to drive all the way to Stratford to get Rheo Thompson chocolates, I'm so glad that I found a place nearby to buy my favorite mint chocolates. The store is clean and the service is friendly and helpful.

I love this shop and all of the unique items they offer. It is not surprising that we got our yummy wedding favours from here too! They went over so well with our guests and Sarah was incredible to work with. We highly recommend the short bread! They're delicious!
