Let’s dive in!!

Morning Treats at Niagara Home Bakery

Start your day in Niagara-on-the-Lake with a visit to Niagara Home Bakery, a beloved spot nestled right on Queen Street. This family-run bakery has been serving the community since forever and is known for its comforting, old-fashioned charm and truly irresistible baked goods.

Walk through the doors and you’re greeted with the scent of fresh bread, warm pastries, and friendly conversation. Whether you’re in the mood for a sweet bite or a savoury snack, there’s something here to start your day off right.

🥐 What should you try?

• Their legendary butter tarts—gooey and golden

• House-made shortbread cookies that melt in your mouth

• Fresh breads, muffins, and more

Pick up a coffee or tea, find a nearby bench, and enjoy a quiet moment before easing into your day. Niagara Home Bakery isn’t just a stop—it’s a tradition, and a great way to experience the town’s community spirit right from the start.

💡 Pro tip: grab an extra treat for later—you’ll be glad you did.

🚙 Scenic Drive Along the Niagara River Parkway

With pastries in hand, it’s time for a change of pace. Head out for a peaceful drive along the Niagara River Parkway—a scenic route that hugs the river and offers some of the most stunning natural views in the region.

This drive invites you to slow down and take in the landscapes: vineyards that roll into the distance, heritage homes tucked into the hills, and the wide, glistening ribbon of the Niagara River alongside you.

What to look for along the way:

• Pull-off spots with panoramic views of the water

• Quiet stretches of road perfect for cruising with the windows down

• Lovely spaces to stop, stretch your legs, or enjoy a quick snack

One can’t-miss stop is Brock’s Monument at Queenston Heights. This towering structure honours Major General Sir Isaac Brock, a hero of the War of 1812. The monument is surrounded by beautifully kept parkland, walking trails, and some of the best vantage points in all of Niagara.

Climb to the top if you’re up for it—or simply take a stroll around the base and reflect on the history of the area. It’s a peaceful, meaningful way to spend your day while still exploring!
