Shopping for post-Christmas groceries we were looking to pick up some staples, see what's new and overall just check this place out. It's my friends local grocery and someplace he frequents.
Parking appears to be decent, but you will soon realize it's a little more like mad max around here. Surprisingly fresh produce with dragon fruit and other more rare tropical, seasonal fruits offered. The bakery permeated with fresh loaves steady. Sushi, nope, note in a million years. First off Hamilton has crap sushi knocking down grocery sushi an extra notch.
The selection of meats was impressive, a little closer to a butcher specific offering. Plenty of cheeses and crackers for charcuterie. I personally love the large butter bricks and the bagged milk (seriously need this in the states). Chocolates were all on sale. I was hoping for the full complement of Vitamin water. Some very strange nonalcoholic beer offering since that has to be bought at LCBO, also some strange chip flavors (I like loaded and ketchup, but dill pickle doritos were gross).
Service is slow, real slow. I'm not gonna call anyone out, but his name is the most hipster name ever and he just grandma'd us, 10 minutes to check out less than $80 of food. No connection at all with his small talk, put this guy in the back. All in all it was cool, better than I expected, but nothing hard to get used to. read more
