    I went on Friday, February 10th and picked up a blueberry pie, cheesecake brownies lemon squares, date squares and butter tarts. Everything was excellent and not cloying sweet like so many desserts are. There was a lovely selection of gourmet goods and I bought a lemon dill dip. The person operating the counter/cash was very friendly. I'd ho again. I just wish it weren't so far away from me!

    Don is an amazing, generous person. I'm so glad the bowls made to help the wildlife in Australia were so popular. Way to go Don.
    This cafe is the best!

    Lovely store with great selection and knowledgeable staff. Some rare books and first editions. Located in the heart of town - very quaint with coffee shops nearby.

    This place is a lovely spot in the country, growing lavender organically, and selling a myriad of lavender products in their charming shop. The apiary creates amazing lavender honey. (HumbleBee apiarist Luc Peters started their organic apiary - he can tell you a lot about bees if you visit while he's there.)

    While visiting Canadian friends with some friends from home, we had mostly group activities, but one day was a free day to spend doing things with one’s home host or hostess. At mid-afternoon on that day, we went to Locke Street. We'd used it in the comings and goings all week.

    I always knew when we were traveling Locke Street because we'd go by a lot of historic churches and antique dealer shops.

    Some of the more historic churches included Locke Street Presbyterian Church (1886), Saint John the Evangelist Anglican Church (1891) which was my friend's church, Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Church (1893), Herkimer Street Baptist Church (1897), and Immanuel Congregational Church (1897).

    Some of the dealers included J Taylor Antiques, Locke Street Antiques, Antiques On Locke, Olive's Oddments, and The Antique & Collectible Superstore were some that we browsed.

    Locke Street is also home to other types of shops and restaurants.

    Parts of Locke Street are quite trendy.

    Locke Street is definitely an area to visit for shopping, dining, and admiring architecture of 1800's churches and buildings from the Victorian Era.

    We rate Locke Street at 4.50 and recommend a visit.

    The mall is clean, the stores that are open are okay.
    Zig zags a bit - kind of quirky.
    Underground parking was great !
    Highlight was Nations Grocery store and the lovely middle aged lady "manning" the security / information kiosk (we were there ~ 5- 6pm on Thursday January 16th)
    She was a hoot !

    Huge variety of beautiful and unusual items made by local crafts-people. We ended up buying some glass cats to hang in our conservatory. They made it back to Scotland and they look just beautiful.

    We were looking to find lunch while staying nearby in Ancaster and stumbled on this delightful shop. We ended up ordering a charcuterie box to take back to our accommodation. After a short wait we were presented with the most amazing box off goodies which was not only beautiful to look at but also delicious to eat. There was an assortment of cheeses, cold meats, dried fruit and nuts, etc that had been artfully arranged in the box.
    Thank you to two friendly and helpful gentlemen who own the store and helped us with our lunch.

    A weekly visit for me. Great store, super friendly staff. They have all sorts of cool promotional events too. Sometimes there are signings, there's free comic book day. If you have any interest in comics you should check this place out.

    Unique, eclectic, delightful collection of home decor and accent pieces that are beautifully displayed. The staff was informative and helpful and the prices were very reasonable. Give yourself a good amount of time to take it all in!

    I stopped by this gem of a store a few weeks ago and was really impressed with the selection of goods. Came away with some delicious "golden Toffee" rooibos tea (now a new favourite), some spices I hadn't been able to find anywhere else and a pair of side cut scissors that are perfect for my felting work. Emma's pottery is gorgeous. What a super shop!

    Not only do they have every kind a cheese you can imagine, the staff are extremely helpful. I spent a lot of money on a selection of cheeses and I enjoyed every single recommendation.
