The box itself was lovely, bearing a circa. 1950's picture taken in Cambridge, Ontario. In my opinion, the chocolate itself was OK and nothing more. It was very sweet and did not have the depth I am looking for. I have found that the chocolate/candy in North America (Canada and the U.S.) is sweeter than the U.K. and European chocolate - and less cocoa-y. It was beautifully presented, the packaging and the box itself lovely as a gift.

Personally, by looking at the quality of the chocolate, it didn't blow me away. But they did offer some interesting choices. The prices for gummy candy was way out of line, but they did package it nicely. I guess the prices here speak to the experience. We also bought peanut brittle and pistachio brittle. It was delish.

Usually they have dishes out for you to…read moreactually try the flavours before you buy, but we got in a bit late so they cleaned all that up. They have coated nuts, ones that are roasted in a specific flavouring, etc. So it's a nice variety for you to take home and try / gift to your friends/ family! They also have some unique snacks and candies like banana chips, special kettle chips, home made candy, and I hear they got some popsicles/ ice cream in the summer ;) Nice place to stop by and grab a treat if you're heading for Saint Jacobs! Oh! And everythings quite a nice, decent price.

I have to visit this little peanut shop every time I visit St. Jacobs. It's a landmark in the area…read moreand for a good reason! They have an extensive selection of flavourful nuts and chocolates. I remember seeing peanuts, pecans, cashews, and almonds, and they have different each one in different flavours. They also have chocolate blueberries, cherries, raisins, cranberries, and clusters. Best to just go and check it out for yourself as I can't remember all their products. You won't be disappointed! They're all fairly priced as well. Most items are about 125g to 200g for $2.99. Some products come in a smaller and larger package. Must-try items: peanuts enrobed in a crispy potato chip shell and caramel crisp clusters They're highly addictive! The caramel crisp clusters were so good that I almost finished the entire box in one sitting. Soft chewy caramel dipped in chocolate with little crispy pieces! Craving it from just thinking about it. The crispy potato chip peanuts come in many flavours and I have never seen it being sold anywhere else! Super crispy shell! They have little containers of peanuts on the shelf above some products for you to try before purchasing. They have the crispy potato shell for sunflower seeds too, but there are less flavours to choose from. I believe they also sell ice cream during the summer and the staff are very friendly. St. Jacobs is a beautiful quaint little town near Waterloo so aside from going to Picard's, you can also stop by the town (another 2-3 minute drive). Definitely worth visiting!

We don't really shop at No Frills but my son thought getting the whole walnuts that were on sale,…read morewould be an ok price. We spent $8.00 and once we cracked the walnuts.....they were all rotten inside, most likely last year's crop. Terrible not even for a sale will I go there. Shameful.

Update 2: I received apologies from the owners from online & over the phone. They claim they…read moreinvestigated the matter to make sure it would not happen again. I appreciate that so I add another star to the rating. However I am not in a hurry to revisit the place. Maybe in a while. ------------------------------ Update: I completed the survey on my receipt and reported the incident to Nofrills and it fell on deaf ears. Nobody ever contacted me. Oh well.. I believe I have legitimate reason to be upset. The choice is yours. ------------------------------- What can I say. Don't come here if you are Asian. I was here for grocery shopping and was ready to check out. The self checkouts, which I usually preferred since I had social anxiety, were all closed somehow. Thus I had to use a cashier. The cashier named Ravleen greeted the customers before and after me with a "hello, how are you?". However she did not greet me or thank me for my purchase. Instead, she just threw the receipt on the belt without looking at me. Unfortunately, those customers happened to be Caucasian. I guess she prefers to deal with Caucasian customers rather than Asian. Funny that she was Indian herself. I don't know how to explain this. Self hate? I never imagined having to play a race card on Yelp but today I have to. I should have gone to Walmart in the first place. The staff there has always been helpful and friendly to me. I guess if you like racist staff you can come here. Thank you No Frills for the subtle racism.

Last week, I bought a single clove of garlic,…read moreit looked ok from the outside, when I got it home and opened it, it was BLUE and ROTTEN on the inside. Disgusting. WORSE than that, this week I went in to pick up a few things, chestnuts being one of them, and there were LIVE MAGGOTS crawling around in the tray of them. It was fkng disgusting as well. I'm not sure which was more gross, the garlic or the maggots. I asked for the owner but only a manager was in, one of two brothers that manage this store I believe. When I asked him to come and see what I had to show him, he was so uninterested in coming to see, slowly followed me from 10 feet behind, and then was so rude about it. He didn't even have the decency to apologize about it, or say that is unacceptable. Instead, he said "I don't want to get close to you". I showed him the maggoty chestnuts, and he basically grabbed the tray and walked away. What absolutely terrible customer relations. For someone "not wanting to get close to me" he certainly came right up beside me to grab the tray. It appears he was just not wanting to get close to me because he didn't want to deal with anything I was going to show him, until he saw the maggots, that is. I would attach pictures if I could. I mentioned to him that the store is too busy raising their prices every week to look at the garbage they are selling people, and that maybe if they are going to raise the prices everyday that they should sell some groceries that aren't shit, for a lack of a better word (not that I was looking for one). His response to that was, "well they'll be going up more in the new year even more!" like a complete and total jackass. All they clearly care about is money and not about selling decent food to people. What a way to talk to one of your most loyal customers. I spend THOUSANDS of dollars here a year, maybe even a month. I shop here because it is the closest grocery store to my house. From now on, I will drive a little further to shop at a store with decent groceries to offer, such as fortinos or metro, where they care about the quality of the food they sell, even if I have to pay a little more. Not to mention this store claims not to be doing refunds for anything, blaming covid of course, while other stores happily return and exchange right now. So not only will they sell you rotten or maggoty food, they also wont give you a refund for it apparently, apologize, or even barely acknowledge you. Absolutely disgusting, can't say it enough.

I ordered the cookies through Uber Eats so I can't speak to how the establishment is…read more I ordered 2 classic cookies (Chocolate Chip & Cookies + Cream) and 2 specialty cookies (Skor & Confetti). The skor was my favourite. The cookies are crispy but not over cooked and are so good! The confetti and cooked and cream were a bit much for me with the white chocolate chips added but still delicious. Unfortunately I can't speak to the service because I didn't actually go to the building, but after placing my order they got things packaged and ready fairly quickly and my order was warm. I love that we have another cookie place in Hamilton. Between here and Craig's cookies.. I am a happy girl.

There is ample parking and the entrance is right at the parking lot. Will definitely come back to take another class!

They poured our coffees into mugs and then we went over to another counter to fix them up with cream and sugar. Most of the tables were taken so we all sat at the window counter. The bakery has lots of freshly made baked goods from breads to cookies to pies and cakes. There are also savory dishes too. It can be a bit pricey but this place is located in a very touristy area. The seasonal baked goods looked so good and fresh. The apple fritter we got was big and very dense with a few apples in it. They were all out of the rhubarb squares we live so much. When you look into the back you can see all the girls working in their bonnets and cotton dresses. Very cute. Parking is an issue on busy days.
