Hit and miss at the food counter and sometimes the desserts taste stale. I’ve bought from here several times.

We stopped in for coffee and pastries before church—they have a lovely seating area. Everything we had was delicious, though a bit on the expensive side. One of the staff behind the pastry counter directed us to take our coffee and baked goods to the main cashier to pay. However, the cashier was busy on the phone and handling other tasks, so we waited and paid afterward—just as we had been told to do on a previous visit.
When I finally paid, the cashier reminded me that payment should be made before sitting down. I explained that she hadn’t been available at the time. I understand the concern about dine-and-dash incidents, but the current system makes it difficult to follow that policy consistently.
To make matters worse, as we were leaving, a staff member behind the counter loudly asked the cashier if we had paid—which was embarrassing, especially since we had.
It would really help if there were a dedicated cashier at the bakery counter, rather than having to carry coffee and pastries to the main register before being seated. The pastries are excellent, but the setup could benefit from better staffing and improved organization to create a more welcoming and efficient experience.

This place is a staple for the hamilton Italian community and the city of Hamilton in general. My nonna brought me here as a child in the 90s and been coming ever since we lived on John and Robert. Best paninni lovely pizza , the breads and cold cuts and subs and sandwiches are also noteworthy. Good price and nice portion sizes. The hot food is also really good. Now my personal favorite of the place is the cannolis personally love the pistachio but all of them are amazing any of the Italian pastries are amazing and worth the try the cakes also basically anything they make they do it right. The coffee is top notch 👌🏾. Must try the tarale (taralay) sorry if I spelled wrong. This place has like a old school deli/Cafe type vibe you'll see locals at any time of they day in there. It feels.like a movie sometimes . Great place deff a hamilton gem and landmark of culture must try in your bucket list of spots in the hammer god bless and hope they're around for another 70 plus years !

Awesome local Italian bakery! Love to support local!
Great place to grab a box of pastry or just stop in for a snack. Very friendly staff. The Portuguese Tarts are amazing here. The Lemon Squares are so tangy, like that. No credit card surcharge. Find if you do not eat some things right away they get very hard fast. Pretty Expensive. Things really add up fast.

I always come here for their sandwiches. They're fresh and plentiful. The fresh buns make them amazing. Great price too!

I stopped in to pick out some dessert treats for a birthday dinner. I had a hard time picking because they had such a great selection. Everything I got was delicious and I’ll be back to try out everything else! All the staff were very friendly!
