Welcome to Pinch!
We're a neighbourhood bakery and plant shop at 183 Sherman Ave North, in Hamilton's East End — a place to gather, graze and grow. Fresh baked goods, a small daily menu, plants, and a shelf of mostly-local goods, made and chosen with care.
Truth, Reconciliation and the Ground we Garden On
We're a settler-owned business operating on treaty land. That means we aren't bystanders to this history. We're part of it, and part of the responsibility that comes with it. So this September we want to talk plainly about the covenant this land is held under, what it asks of all of us, and where things honestly stand.
We're Open!
Our shop is open with daily treats, plant & retail offerings at 183 Sherman Ave N!
Wednesday to Saturday 8 - 3pm
Sunday 9am - 3pm
You can also find our baked goods at Smalls Coffee every day, and catch us at Ottawa Market on Sundays.
We are a nut-free facility!
No nuts, including tree nuts, are allowed on this property so we can guarantee the safety of our customers! Our team always work to ensure we have a selection of both vegan and gluten free treats, but the only allergen we can guarantee no contact with is nuts!
