Best French Bakery in Hamilton

"A post shared by Ray Turner (@rayging_turner) on Nov 13, 2017 at 1:19pm PST. Saint James is one of those places with a $13 (darn good) avocado toast with roast pepper, feta, a fried egg, salsa verde and lentil. Those on a budget can still partake though, $6 buys a delicious breakfast sandwich called The Drive Thru that beats anything you can get through a window: hash brown, sausage patty, fried egg, American cheese, and chili mayo sandwiched between an English muffin."

"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."

"This small industrial-chic eatery was mentioned in the New York Times as one of the five places to visit in Hamilton. Saint James Espresso Bar & Eatery is dishing out Insta-worthy brunch items such as avocado tartine with a fried egg or fluffy buttermilk pancakes topped with house-made compotes and jams.

"Located among the many quirky stores and art galleries of James Street North, the Mulberry Street Coffee House enjoys a historic setting, with a romantic interior atmosphere created by old chandeliers, couches and terrazzo flooring. The menu is a perfect match for its overall vintage vibe, and is definitely not to be missed for those with an appetite for lighter and healthier options. Plus, on the other side of the café, you can find De Facto at Mulberry, an art gallery that exhibits works from emerging local artists."

"If you live in Hamilton and you haven’t been to Mulberry, do you REALLY live in Hamilton?. Mulberry Street Coffeehouse on James North is easily the busiest independent coffee shop in Hamilton, and with good reason; the bohemian vibes are inviting, there’s tons of workspace in the spacious yet warm interior, and the fair-trade coffee and food menu are both stacked with deliciousness for days. They even have local beer from breweries like Collective Arts and Fairweather on tap."

"Without a doubt, Mulberry Coffeehouse is one of the best places to warm up in Hamilton. This comfy hotspot is nestled into a historic building on James Street North (think high ceilings and exposed brick). Of course, there’s much more to love than just the atmosphere."

"Home to one of Canada's largest historic military collections, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is a must-visit at any time of year. Located at Hamilton's international airport, its static displays - many of them fully-restored and operable - include 47 military aircraft ranging from WWI-era prop jobs to more modern jet fighters. The star of the show, though, is its Avro Lancaster, one of only two of these iconic WW2 bombers still able to fly."

"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."

"Entertain yourself with Canada’s military history by visiting this heritage museum. You will be awed with the 40 aircraft now available for public viewing. Some of these planes are still being restored though, but a good number are available for viewing."

"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."

"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..."

"The place is inconspicuous on the plaza it's on; we had to drive around twice before we saw it from the road...."

"Just up the road from the Devil’s Punch Bowl is an angelic barn that’s home to some of the best baked goods in the city. Their specialty is butter tarts, and for good reason. These baked goods are terrific, with great pastry and plenty of options for raisin, walnut, and plain fans alike."

"This coffee shop and bookshop features a clean white interior, light wood floors, and Italian marble countertop. The vegetarian/vegan menu includes hearty coconut lentil soup, cheese plates, and crunchy mac and cheese. Besides coffee and tea, wines, local craft beer, and kombucha on tap are available."

"This cafe and wine shop is a great place to relax and spend some time with Dad. Book a space in their outdoor seating area, grab your Dad’s favourite drink and treats, and spend some quality time together. If you prefer being at home, their meal kits and virtual wine tastings make for great treats!"

"The Dessert Room is a boutique cake studio for the modern sweet lover. They create fresh, delectable treats, and cakes for their clients’ events made-to-order for pickup. Headed by owner and pastry chef Marcia Fattouh, The Dessert Room specializes in designer cakes and confections that combine premium quality ingredients and flavors with modern style."

"I honestly recommend Hamnerhead’s to all my family and friends. The food is incredible, the customer service is amazing. The staff go above and beyond."

"As their name suggests, they’re a classic diner that not only serves breakfast and lunch, but they also make some delicious donuts. If you’re more of a traditionalist, Donut Diner has the donuts for you. Old fashion plain, chocolate, chocolate dip, maple dip… they’re got the classics you know and love."

"Darling Donuts is a pre-order only bakery that specializes in miniature donuts. The donuts are perfect for birthday parties, special events and thank you gifts. Darling Donuts has a fun, whimsical style, decorating each donut with care."

"Between old school spots like Grandad’s Donuts and the more elevated fare at Donut Monster, Hamilton has no shortage of excellent options for the doughy, sweet snack. Even still, the city is about to get another exciting and singular addition with the forthcoming Momoco Donuts: a sister spot to the beloved Asian bakery MySweeTooth. Momoco Donuts will be opening soon at 2 Catharine Street North between King Street East and King William Street, and it promises to mix things up a bit with a selection of freshly-baked Asian fusion donuts crafted in unique flavours and styles like matcha or strawberry glazed."
