The rear of the cafe also plays host to The Assembly Gallery, allowing coffee drinkers to take in the ever-changing local art on display while they sip."

The gallery showcases work from leading artists to new emerging talent, exhibiting pieces from both local and international creatives."

"One of James North’s most popular caffeine stations, Smalls Coffee is aptly named; it holds the title of the tiniest coffee shop in Hamilton, with a space almost entirely consumed by the sizeable counter, which holds a small case of daily pastries and an espresso machine. You won’t find any tables or workspace here; we’re talking strictly grab-and-go. Luckily, the coffee (supplied by Toronto’s Sam James Roasters) is beyond excellent, with drinks crafted exquisitely by some of the friendliest folks you’ll find on James North."

"Smalls Coffee is a teeny little shop – just what the name implies – that takes its coffee seriously. (The New York Times even visited!) There are no seats so most visit for a grab and go caffeine fix, although the bench outside and the front stoop is a popular hangout. Enjoy beans from Sam James Coffee in Toronto and take a pastry to go from De La Terre Bakery."

"Self-proclaimed "tiny coffee takeaway spot," Smalls coffee is located on Cannon Street, right around the corner from a variety of independently owned shops and situated next to The Burnt Tongue. My favourite item to order from Smalls is their iced coffee, which is both deliciously smooth and refreshing!"

"A stunningly beautiful restaurant serving savoury Italian dishes, in-house pasta and wonderful pizzas and apps. Not to mention an incredible selection of wines, beers and cocktails. While CIMA’s only been around for a few months, they’ve quickly propelled themselves to one of Hamilton’s top Italian food destinations."

"I loved coming here before Covid but the visit back after reopening was a little disappointing. I was in the area and decided to get takeout."

"(Or maybe it only seems like a hidden gem because we’re from the other end of the city?) Either way, it’s a waterfall that’s not to be missed!. Located in Waterdown, it’s an impressive waterfall, whether you view it from the lookout platform, or take the trail down and view the waterfall from below. The path continues along the creek for awhile and is part of the Bruce Trail."

"We love the fast-moving waterfall at Smokey Hollow for lots of reasons. It makes for great photos, has a convenient viewing platform, and is surrounded by the Bruce Trail. Parking is on Mill Street, not far from Highway 5 in Waterdown."
