With an outlet in Tillsonburg and customers from as far away as London, Spicer's Bakery is an Aylmer phenomenon. Best of all, they're right next door, so there's no excuse to miss a sampling of their delicious breads and sweets.
We just had to include a listing for
Bela Booteek and
By Bela, two little shops with a big impact. Bela's selection of fashion shoes and accessories (in the Booteek) and clothing (in By Bela) are what draw customers from miles away. Looking for distinctive, classy, big-city style? Bela's got it. Too bad she doesn't have a web site. Bela, get a web site!
