Great prices, wonderful staff and absolutely delicious treats. Their tarts are delicious, and I have an obsession with their marshmallow cookies. 🤤
Grandma's Oven
Half price apps after 9pm? Say less. Food is delicious and well priced, portions are amazing, drinks are strong, and staff is always incredible.
Bernie's Bar & Grill
A Sarnia staple. I stop in almost every time I am in the area. They are a go to for sweet treats, and ya girl loves a sweet treat. Their tarts and cookies are to die for!
Williams Pastry Shop
Found this little hole in the wall sandwich shop and I have to say it's gotta be one of the best I've been to. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and the price can't be beat. I've left with leftovers every time!
Aylmer Submarine
My all-time favourite restaurant. Everything you order off their menu is delicious. I can't speak highly enough about their wings, they're the absolute best wings I've ever had. 🤤🤤🤤

Their nachos are to die for. They also have amazing pierogies, and their famous wings. You can't go wrong, the staff is unbelievably kind and attentive, and the food is absolutely delicious.

Niagara Falls
Looking for a fun day out? If you enjoy coasters, spend a day at Canada's Wonderland. I've spent countless birthdays and weekends at this theme park and it holds a special place in my heart.

I love supporting this place. I've volunteered here and donated to their cause. I am blessed to be a part of a group of people who care about animals as much as LDHS!

One of my favourite local bookstores to frequent. Amazing selection, awesome staff, and they do their best to bring in books if they don't have them! Plus killer vibes.
City Lights Bookshop
My absolute favourite bookstore in my city. I have found so much gold in these shelves, plus it's three stories. Yes, you read that right, THREE. FLOORS. Plus, you can bring your old books in for store credit. 👀
