Best French Bakery in Cambridge

"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."

"Everything on the menu at this popular downtown coffeeshop and eatery is worth a try, but they're famous for their “Drive-thru” breakfast sandwich or unbelievable short stack pancakes with rotating flavours like Cinnabon, lemon ricotta or apple crumble. Their coffee is amazing too, with unique ‘steam-punk’ style machines for brewing."

"For being such a small space, something big is happening inside the walls of Saint James Eatery. With an ever-changing menu, the chefs are constantly bringing something new to the table. Keep your eye on Saint James Eatery because they set the bar incredibly high."

"This James Street North coffee shop not only has an incredible atmosphere, but it also boasts an inclusive menu. While majority of their baked goods are both vegan and gluten free, their donuts are the real showstoppers. Handcrafted with love, their donuts make delicious eats much more accessible for those with dietary restrictions."

"This cool and comfortable downtown coffee shop is always veggie friendly. Vegetarian and vegan paninis are served on house-made focaccia (options include a black bean and sweet potato burger and roasted vegetable panini). For something warm and comforting, the chili and daily soup are always vegan."

"Where else will you be able to touch and feel 36 military jets, propeller driven aircraft and helicopters- all under one roof?. The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is like a candy store for aviation enthusiasts. Home to many world war and cold war airplanes that have served in these legendary battles, these machines are immaculately maintained and many are in flying condition."

"Give your kids the ultimate lesson in physics and a thrill at this indoor flight-themed museum in Mount Hope. After checking out the more than 40 aircraft on exhibit, navigate the legendary Lancaster bomber or supersonic CF-101 Voodoo jet on a flight simulator, or climb right into the cockpit of a fighter jet. This summer, don’t miss: Flying inside a Lancaster bomber!"

"In their relaxed cafe setting slightly hidden away on John Street South, vegan foodies can savour plant-based goodness in the form of hearty tofu bowls, satisfying salads & sandwiches, nachos, mac ‘n cheese, and tantalizing gluten-free baked goods. Live music routinely populates the restaurant’s front corner, adding even more to the chill communal energy that Planted has nailed."

"While most of us are self-isolating at home, it can be easy to say “screw it” and nosh on some junk food for lunch. Don’t get us wrong: we love our chips and chocolate too. But when your body needs a break and you want to switch it up to something both delicious and healthy, Planted in Hamilton has got you covered."

"This is my favourite place to grab some vegan food and some vegan/gluten free baked goods. The food is always banging, fresh, flavourful and appropriate..."

"Step back in time at this retro diner in downtown Dundas serving family friendly breakfast and lunches like fluffy pancake stacks and sweet and savoury crepes. Leave room for dessert with classics like banana splits and mile high sundaes. The kids will love the black and white checkered floors and swiveling counter stools."

"This university hangout and popular date spot has been around for more than 25 years. Count on this Westdale Village mainstay for a late night menu that doesn’t skimp on options. Open until midnight daily (and 1 a.m. from Thursday-Saturday), the late night menu starts two hours before closing time and features 40+ items."

"It’s hard to choose the best dessert in Westdale but we can narrow it down to the cakes at Bean Bar. They have a huge selection of unique cheesecake flavours and other sweet treats. Some reviews online exclaim that the desserts at Bean Bar are “heaven on earth” and a “slice of heaven” and I agree!"

"You may have spotted Hello Baked’s sugar cookie versions of nail polish bottles, tiny tacos and electric guitars on Instagram’s ‘explore’ page—these edible canvases are the handiwork of owner Jessica Lee. She opened the Hello Baked Sugar Shop (kitty-corner to buzzy brunch spot Motel) in late 2017, continuing her custom cookie orders while dishing out local wares and gift-boxed treats. The pièce de try-to-resistance?"

"You may know this pretty sugar shop from its much photographed outdoor mural adorned with a welcoming 'hello'. Inside, baby pink walls and floral wallpaper invite you to explore the boutique's delicate confections: candies, a sprinkle bar, chocolate, and their signature sugar cookies with extreme attention to detail (great for gifts!)."

"Address: 342 Barton St E.Phone: (289) 389-5505Email: info@hellobaked.com. Hello Baked is fuelled by a love for sweets that taste just as good as they look. We create and curate a selection for hand-crafted confections and specialty giftware for those with discerning tastes and artistic sensibilities."

"In the John Street South space once occupied by Pinecone Coffee, Salty Espresso is a cozy and well-loved favourite for that morning brew. On top of expertly-brewed coffee sourced from 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters in Vancouver, Salty also offers delectable lunch and brunch options like smashed avocado toast and chia pudding, with recipes inspired by the owners’ respective Australian and Canadian roots. There’s also usually an incredible-looking and always-changing cake (baked daily by Mai Nguyen) on display just tempting you to grab a slice… or four."

"The love child of a self-proclaimed ‘salty’ Aussie and a sweet Canadian from Sudbury, Ontario, Salty Espresso specializes in all things coffee related, but also serve up simple, but powerful breakfast items — all day until their 4 pm close. If you want something a little more exotic for your morning cravings, such as squash waffles & ragu or potato cod pancakes, then you’ll definitely want to check out their brunch items Friday through Sunday. The café atmosphere is cozy and laid-back, inspired by the owners’ love of Australia and its salty waters."

"Grain & Grit was founded by Joe and Lindsey, a couple who are obsessed about beers and then created a home-brewing and family-oriented brewery. The brewery has been in the business for more than a decade. It was just a pipe dream of the owners when they were drinking a glass of craft beer and thinking about how to change their life."

"In in the west end of the city, this family-run brewery is just a short hop from McMaster University. Its head brewer Alex Sporn brings a European flair to his creations, thanks to the wee town in Germany where he grew up. Also a former winemaker, he’s now applying his skills to small-batch beer."

"RETAIL SHOP IS OPEN FOR ONLINE ORDERS ONLY WITH CURBSIDE PICK-UP, LOCAL DELIVERY AND SHIPPING WITHIN ONTARIO. ***CURBSIDE PICK-UP HOURS***FRIDAY / 12-6PMSATURDAY / 12-4PM"

"Nicknamed Canada's "fightingest ship" for its record of sinking the most enemy tonnage in WW2, HMCS Haida is another waterfront tourist attraction to add to your Hamilton travel itinerary.

"Democracy* is unquestionably one of Locke Street’s favourite coffee shops. Endeavouring to be equal parts cafe, vegan eatery, and community space, Democracy* thrives on being an open, welcoming environment that also happens to serve killer vegan bites. Tofu Banh Mi and Big Mac pizzas are eye-catching offerings, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in a stacked plant-based menu filled with share plates and sizeable entrees."

"This popular Locke Street coffee shop offers a flavourful lunch and dinner menu of animal-free ingredients. Choose from mains like the chickpea smash melt, falafel pita, and pierogi pizza, plus apps and salads. Must-try: Their most popular item is cauliflower wings: crispy cauliflower tossed in a choice of spicy Sriracha lime sauce, bourbon BBQ, sweet and sour, or sweet apple garlic sauce."

"The vegetarian/vegan menu here includes a section for kids, too, like the kid-sized portion of their famous cauliflower wings and vegan grilled cheese. Dessert options include made-to-order crepes, local craft ice cream, and a rotating selection of baked goods (how good do Oreo stuffed cookie bars sound?). Must-try: The house-made crispy falafel on a warm pita is simply delicious."
