Best French Bakery in Brantford

"What is it: This cozy eatery may look like a coffee shop upon entry but, once you taste the food, you’ll feel part of an upscale yet accessible dining experience. Why go: Find natural light, an intimate atmosphere, photo-worthy plates and a small but thoughtful menu to define your meal. Items as simple as a “drive-thru inspired” breakfast sandwich or blueberry crumble pancakes are elevated to new heights."

"Saint James is probably one of the fancier spots in Hamilton to grab coffee; in fact, with its modern aesthetic and trendy atmosphere, you may even forget you're in Hamilton!. But what I love about this spot is its versatile setting; they serve more than just coffee, and yet Saint James is the perfect spot to grab a cup of joe with friends and meet fashionable locals who share your passion for Hamilton."

"No doubt about it: Saint James is one of the best places to grab a coffee in Hamilton. This bright, clean cafe serves up savoury snacks and meals (the variety of toasts alone, from mushroom to smoked salmon and eggs, demands a visit). Even more importantly, the hot beverages are beautifully-crafted."

The star of the show, though, is its Avro Lancaster, one of only two of these iconic WW2 bombers still able to fly."
