Food Good dark roast coffee in Hamilton?

1 Upvotes

What are your recommendations for a good dark roast drip brew coffee?

I've had a good number of light and medium drip brew coffees from specialty coffee shops in Hamilton but I haven't found a lot of places that have a nice, roasty, stout like dark roast coffee. Closest I've had is the espresso from Smalls which is great but not a drip brew.

Recommendations Needed Men of Hamilton (snip snip)

26 Upvotes

Hey folks, I'm looking to get a vasectomy and would really appreciate any recommendations for good providers in the Hamilton/Stoney Creek area. Ideally someone experienced, and with a solid bedside manner.

If you've had a good experience with a particular clinic or doctor, I’d love to hear about it—along with any tips you’d share with someone going through it.

Thanks in advance!

Recommendations Needed Window showroom

1 Upvotes

A few years ago I was considering swapping my front windows. I contacted a couple companies that I saw in this flyer that was delivered (I think it might been pennysaver). It wasn't what I expected, the guys would come to my house and you don't really get any details, and you don't really get to see what the windows actually look like. I'm in a design/engineering field and this was so annoying to me.

The thing I'm trying to avoid is those fucking chunky wide vinyl frames that reduce the amount of glass and look terrible. I want a sleek frame, I know they do make them in vinyl, you have to pay a bit more obviously, but no idea who up here makes them or sells them. I see beautiful windows going in all over brick homes in Hamilton and I don't know why I can't seem to easily find a rep lol.

What I really want is to visit a showroom or warehouse where I can see the frame style, see the glass, check the brightness, etc all that shit, for myself, skip the salesman who won't actually answer questions.

Where can I go to see a bunch of windows? I'll probably hire a company to do the front windows, but I'll diy this terrible back window upstairs to save some cash. So should I try to find an installer company? Do they have showrooms?

Food The greasiest, most fried chicken in town (but also delicious)

62 Upvotes

I want a double down, but that isn't a thing anymore. Did you know its still on the menu in Korea? Anyway, what is the best fried chicken in town, burger or otherwise?

Criteria:

~QUICKLY IM HUNGOVER

~We are Korean, so no Korean fried chicken (Also, btw, Chicken Plus is trash ((ASK ME WHY IN THE COMMENTS))).

~Cost, not a concern (I need my chicken kk)

edit: btw don't get a culture misconception, in Korea typically a hangover is cured from soup (Haejangguk). I just want chicken; I grew up in Canada.

edit edit: damn thanks everyone, I got the fried chicken Hamilton directory here now.

Food Where can I buy a frozen açaí tub in Hamilton?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve been obsessed with açaí bowls lately and I’m hoping to start making my own at home.

I’m specifically looking for the frozen açaí in tubs—not the powder, juice, or frozen berry packs that need blending. Just the ready-to-scoop frozen stuff that’s smooth and thick, like the ones used in smoothie bars.

I already checked Fortinos and Walmart online and couldn’t find anything. Any local spots, grocery stores, or hidden gems you’d recommend in Hamilton or nearby? Thanks a lot!

Where To Buy Looking for Mohawk car magnet

5 Upvotes

Hey all!

So my daughter will be attending Mohawk in the fall and I'm super excited and proud beyond words of her.

Was hoping to get a magnet for my pickup to the effect of "My kid goes to Mohawk College" and was very surprised to find the campus store sells nothing of the sort.

Anyone know anywhere I might find one?

Thanks in advance
