This place is the new hit! Looking for the menu? It's on the ceiling. A St. Catharines based specialty coffee roaster that can be found in the heart of Port Dalhousie. Personally, I love grabbing a Flat White and walking the beach looking for driftwood or beach glass. It's a cute little town :)

This one calls for a bit of a drive but it is worth it! Offering a nice little loop in the forest with easy walking trails and gorgeous views, it is one of my favourites. If you are feeling adventurous go down the escarpment stairs to a beautiful waterfall. You could also stop in for a treat and coffee or even lunch at Station 21 after!

Niagara truly does have alllll the wine. So of course I have a few favourites. Ravine being at the top on my list! A family owned farm of over 150 years, this estate winery is a must stop for me. Not only is the wine incredible, their "Lowrey Bros" products from Honey Bourbon Peaches to Pear Cider make for the perfect gift, or even better, a fancy picnic on the parkway.

Oast is incredible! The beer. The views. The foooooodddd. Live music on Fridays and an unbeatable two levelled patio in the summer! Brushfire Smoke BBQ’d food hit CBC in 2019. You won't find brisket like that anywhere close to John's 14-hour slow smoked and coffee rubbed brisket. Treat yourself. Plus the drive there is gorgeous and you are only a stones throw away from NOTL. See you there!

Sweets & Treats
Honestly, for a long time I never really liked ice cream. But when all of a sudden it became my favourite way to consume sugar, Hometown became unbeatable. Carrot Cake is my absolute fav. Love how they do seasonal scoops also!
