This little shop is a must see when you stop in Merrickville. I came here on Canada day due to…read moreChilly Chiles being down the street. The shop is filled with all unique kitchen gadgets, gourmet food items and just interesting things that make you want them for your household. My only complaint was not so much the store however but the fact it seemed that people were staring not so friendly at us. (sometimes the shop workers to but also the town itself) Not sure if it was an interracial couple thing or whatever but it did make our stay in the store shorter than I would of liked.

The retail store is brimming with a wonderful selection of gourmet foods, kitchen gadgets and housewares. On-site is a production kitchen that produces Mrs. McGarrigle's famous handmade mustards.

We tried Kat and Jordy's over the weekend for the first time. We needed relatively last minute…read morecatering for a funeral reception. K & J were incredibly accommodating and took special care to be sure that there was no cross contamination because my niece and nephews all have FPIES. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered and feedback: Fruit and veggie platters = fantastic! Fresh cut and large portions on both trays as well as dips for each. Charcuterie tray = good! I would suggest ordering a larger tray instead of the smaller one because there were lots of dips but not quite enough meat, cheese and crackers for the small one. Food and mix of food on the tray was fantastic! Sandwich platter = Excellent! I didn't know that a chicken sandwich could be that good! Presentation was beautiful and food was excellent. I highly recommend Kat & Jordy's and will 100% use them again for catering and will order for a night that I don't want to cook.

But like everywhere, the prices have gone up; it's a little expensive here. The venue is nice and bright, with lots of windows, but there are not a ton of seats and it gets busy and loud in here. Unfortunately, today's experience wasn't stellar; the barista who is so cheerful is also as I pretty slow, in fact she forgot to push the button to make our Americanos! On the other hand, she was the only one serving today - taking the orders, taking payments, preparing and serving the orders, then cleaning up!

Came here to support a local business and grab a coffee between Ottawa and Prescott. What a cool…read moreshop, so welcoming when you first walk up and open the door. The staff was busy and friendly. Lot's of cool artwork around. The food that some of the customers were getting looked incredible. I feel bad we didn't have time to eat. The coffee I ordered was carefully prepared and brought out to me in my to-go cup. It was piping hot, fresh from the espresso machine. Good flavor, really smooth. I was able to drink it before it got any bitterness which was great. If you're in the area, this is a must stop for coffee and it looks like for food too.

I would probably give this shop a 3 1/2 stars, if only I could - mainly because I love the vibrant…read moredisplay of goodies. It's a great shop for snooping around for gift ideas of all sorts - not just cheese. Only giving it a 3 star rating for now, at least until my next visit. I seem to be going to Perth on a more regular basis these days. My reasoning is that although they call themselves a cheese shop, I don't remember much about their cheeses! They are offering a variety of other things as well, and cheese is not even the first thing you see when you walk in the door, although I do remember seeing one refrigerator of a variety of cheeses offered. This is a store, and not a restaurant, so there's no seating inside. Everywhere you look, you see eye candy! It would be a great place to find a gift for that special someone in your life. There's plenty of parking outside and near the shop, and it's down town and close to other amenities, like the Perth Museum. I'll take another look during a future visit to Perth, just to get a better glimpse and possibly a taste of their cheese :-)

Fortunately for us Ottawa folk, this wonderful place is only 57 minutes away (if you adhere to the speed limit). Located in a gorgeous heritage building, which only ads to the whole experience. Grab a half dozen, plus one, to eat in the courtyard as you listen to the water fountain do it's thing. As I sat and enjoyed every moist morsel, I noted a chocolate shop, and Fiddleheads Grill, which I heard good things about. Will be returning again, hopefully before they are sold out. I need to try the grilled cheese!

Easy access off Highway 43 at the 416 exit. An observation: store managers should be able to post exact operating hours during holidays. Both mobile app and website had regular hours posted not the reduced hours for New Year's Day. Inasmuch as we drove 12 km from Oxford Mills, it was disappointing to arrive and discover the store had closed. Had the reduced hours been posted on the app and website, we would have adjusted our visit.

Freshco to me seems to be a bit like a no-frills, maybe just a bit better. (Incidentally they are building a NF in my 'hood!) Overall, it's ok, but not my favourite.
