I have a low spice tolerance so I'm glad I ordered a cup of jasmine green tea along with it. There's only one staff member on duty at the moment, but its not a super busy place. She's extremely polite and gives a reflection of great service. Overall, I highly recommend this easy to miss place. Its not very large, so I suggest to go either alone or with one other.

Which was great for me. We bought some nuts and tons of Malban. Basically sugar, cornstarch and some nuts with some other flavours. We picked up just about each flavour. We have eaten just about all of them and they delicious. They are not too sweet and taste fresh. Other store bought are too chewy. But these were just right. Loved them. They also have fresh ground coffee that they grind right in front of you and add fresh cardamom seeds. The coffee smells so good and taste amazing. The lady behind counter tells us that soon they are going to start serving freshly made brewed coffee. Can't wait for it.

Otherwise I would have died from repeated gorging on their sweet sweet pastries. I will always take a dozen tarts to go and re-heat them with a dash of cinnamon and serve with espresso at home, morning, noon or night. They have their own brand of home made jelly, spreads, jams, marmalades, sauces, and sell an eclectic mix of other bake-wares, teas, trinkets, foods, breads, and stuff. The business owners are a very sweet and welcoming couple very happy to give you samples of the new creations. 12-billion stars for the tarts! I wish I could keep cramming them down my pie-hole but alas that would tremendously impede my quality of life. I would get so fat that I would have such a strong gravitational pull and eventually I would collapse unto myself.

I tried it hot and with cinnamon (as a little sign at the stall suggested to me). Fabulous!! The shell was super crispy and the filling was warm and rich. It is on the sweeter side so with a side of coffee, this tart is barely shy of perfection. Next time I will be taking a dozen to go. Way to go Hamilton! I finally have a reason to like being here!

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

It's bright, airy, and modern. We ordered 3 dishes to share: cauliflower wings, broccoli Mac n cheese, and the seitan chick'n sandwich. We also got 2 kombuchas and with tax and tip, the order came to $60. The food was yummy. I can't say it's the best vegan place I have ever been to, but it's definitely quite tasty. My favourite was the cauliflower wings followed by the seitan chick'n sandwich. I'm not crazy about nutritional yeast, so I didn't love the Mac n cheese. Overall, the menu has many options to choose from, which is a big plus in my opinion. Would recommend to both vegan and non-vegan eaters to try :)

3.5 Stars I'm torn…read more I really want to jump on the bandwagon and say that the smoothies here are out of this world, but I can't. Yes, this was refreshing after a day of hiking the falls of Hamilton. Yes, it was very healthy. Yes, service was amazingly friendly and cheerful. Yes, the atmosphere was relaxing and trendy. No, the smoothies were not amazing. Don't get me wrong, they were good, but they didn't exactly taste like what they were supposed to taste like. I think they just need to reformulate the amounts of the ingredients that go into the smoothies. All of their smoothies have a spinach and kale base. I ordered the Sobi-Smoothie "Strawberries and Cream", which had strawberries, bananas, coconut milk, almonds, and cranberries. My cousin ordered the Mumbai Mango, which had mangoes, bananas, and coconut milk. Our other cousin ordered the Chocolate Cherry. While I enjoyed tasting all the smoothies, I felt that they mostly tasted the same; the only smoothie where I could taste all the flavors was the Chocolate Cherry. The use of coconut milk in the other two smoothies was extremely heavy-handed because that was the dominant flavor in both of them. You couldn't even taste the bananas, which are usually a very strong flavor profile. It felt like we were mostly drinking the coconut milk smoothies with a hint of strawberries or a hint of mangoes, not the other way around. That said, you definitely feel good about yourself when you eat here because you know exactly what you're putting into your body. The GSB has a menu of foods, smoothies, and snacks that are all 100% organic and vegan; they are also an extremely green business (no pun intended) and compost all their waste -- even their cups, straws, and food containers are compost friendly. All in all, I'd check this place out again if I ever go back to Hamilton; I'd probably ask for less coconut milk though.

They serve you tea samples to smell and see if you like caffeinated or not. They come back to give your tea in a pot. Afterwards they give you the "magic towel" in a bowl to wash your hands/fingers. The food comes out with the staff explaining each level. I really enjoyed all of them, scones were the right softness to some crunchiness. The apple strudel was the right crisp and warmth. Cheesecake was delicious too and I don't even like cheesecake. The owner also gave a heartwarming thank you speech to everyone and wishes for the parents-to-be. It felt home-like. I would come here again if I was in the area.

Nani's Gelato is a great addition to the new Brighwater area and Port Credit. You can park in the…read moreFarm Boy street level or underground parking and easily walk to the store. The gelatos are made fresh, with flavours rotating every two weeks. They also offer vegan flavours, too. You can find classic flavours like chocolate, pistachio or more creative ones like Saffron Mango, Ferrero Rocher. They also offer gelato pie, gelato cake, affogato, soft serve, sundae, milkshake and take home gelato. The staff are very friendly and accommodating; Namrata helped us sampling a few flavours before choosing. We really enjoyed the creamy texture and variety of flavours. One useful tip: the store is at 215 Lakeshore Rd W in the Brightwater development, but the entrance faces the parking lot, so it can be a little tricky to spot from Lakeshore the first time.

The only Nani's Gelato that I have been to is the one in Box Grove in Markham. It was cool finding out recently from a friend that there's a location in Port Credit in Mississauga. I haven't been back to Port Credit since I attended Mississauga Ribfest back in 2019. It was nice to return to a different part of Lakeshore Road West. This Nani's is in condo area with a bunch of businesses on the ground floor, including LCBO, Farm Boy, COBS Bread, and more. There is a parking lot smack in the middle of all these businesses and condo buildings. I found a parking spot closer to Farm Boy and backed into it. I then walked over to Nani's Gelato. It was raining when I drove over here after work on a Wednesday afternoon. A yellow weather alert was issued for hail and gusty winds. By the time that I walked over to Nani's, the rain had stopped. I opened the door. I got Jana behind the counter, who was the most helpful, nicest person. She said that I could sample whatever gelato I wanted before committing to buying anything. I like that there are vegan options. I'm borderline lactose-intolerant and love that I don't have to worry about dairy if I got with vegan flavours. I sampled the following flavours: - Blueberry lemonade (vegan) - Thai red tea - Pistachio I like that each flavour has a label saying that it contains nuts, (CN), contains gluten (CG), or is vegan (V). I didn't know what the short forms stood for, which was kind of like being at work, so I always ask. This place has cones and cups. I am a gelato cup person, so I got half hazelnut rocher (it does taste like a Ferrero Rocher chocolate) and half blueberry lemonade. It came with a branded wafer, which was fun to enjoy. I loved how creamy and smooth the gelato was. Both flavours were amazing. I am more for a fruit person and the blueberry lemonade wowed me right off the bat. The yummy blueberry flavour paired nicely with the bright lemony finish. If you love Ferrero Rocher in gelato form, you'll enjoy the hazelnut rocher. It felt fancy and festive having it. I'd get a pint just before Christmas. I'm already planning my holiday gelato! This place makes sundaes. It has a strawberry version, which would have been my go-to flavour. However, I am also a Biscoff lover and this place had a Biscoff sundae. I normally don't indulge in two frozen treats, but I had to get the Biscoff sundae. Jenna let me know that it's Biscoff gelato with Biscoff drizzle, topped with crumbled Biscoff and a full Biscoff cookie. OMG. I can die happy now after having it! The Biscoff sundae is a must if you are a fan of the cookie or cookie butter. It was fantastic. I ended up scooping up the gelato with the Biscoff cookie at one stage. This sundae was excellent. This store is spacious, with a lot of seating to enjoy your frozen treats. It is much larger than the Markham location. When the weather is nice, there is patio seating. The tables and chairs were indoors because the weather was rainy and blah. This store has two washrooms. Each one is a single stall. I needed to wash my hands after one of my desserts melted on me. The one that I used was clean, and had both a dryer and paper towel to dry off my hands. I was so enamoured having the blueberry lemonade gelato that I got a pint to take home. I signed up for Nani's loyalty points system. I need to figure out how it works, but I was happy that I earned points during my visit. I paid with a credit card. I tipped and tapped. All went well. Jenna was wonderful helping me out. I'd go back just to say hi to her and her wonderful customer service. She even got me a glass of water to cleanse my palate between the two flavours of desserts that I had. It's a nice addition to Port Credit. I'd stop by when I'm back in the neighbourhood. (350)
