Be sure to check out The Pit for barbeque supplies and equipment, including wood chips and first-class seasonings and sauces.
Leave room for dessert at Sweet Bakery, which is located just a couple doors down. Sweet Bakery offers nostalgic treats with a modern twist. Choose from ornately decorated cupcakes and cookies or beautiful squares and cakes. Both kids and the young at heart will enjoy their Monster Cookies – sprinkle cookies that are sandwiched with Sweet Bakery’s real vanilla buttercream and embellished with whimsical googly eyes.
Head over to Mann’s Botanical Spirits, Brantford’s first micro-distillery, and sample their unique infused spirits. Don’t miss their signature product, White Tea Gin, which includes notes of pomegranate, coconut, pineapple, safflower, cardamom and papaya.
Brantford is home to diverse dining options, from fast food to full service and fine dining options. Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant before checking into one of Brantford’s seven hotels for a relaxing, comfortable sleep.
DAY 2
Wake up early and travel to the Skyway Café at the Brantford Municipal Airport. Watch the planes coming and going and feast on their all-day breakfast menu. Take a walk outside for an even better view of the Brantford Flying Club, airplane hangars and runways.
