What a treasure Perivale Gallery is! We have been wanting to visit for some time now, and finally had the opportunity yesterday. Well curated and represented, the gallery provides the work a host of diverse artists and artisans. The North is prominently on display in various forms: wall art, sculpture, jewelry, pottery.... all worthy of a second, third look, and even permanent gazing in the perfect spot in your home. The gardens at Perivale are equally impressive. Stroll through and the peaceful serenity will envelop you. If you are on the beautiful island Manitoulin, stop in. If you are not, make the trip ... it is so worth it!

We stopped here on a Wednesday afternoon, while driving from South Baymouth to Little Current. It’s a great place for a break, with a beautiful view of the surrounding islands. There were only a couple of other people there, so you won’t feel crowded. The store looks small from the outside, but is actually huge inside. The quality of the crafts and sculptures, etc. is outstanding. There are plenty of beautiful items to purchase, and I left with a few. Definitely worth stopping at.

Stumbled across this place looking for a rainy day activity, and it was a great stroke of luck I did. Went twice in two days. The Belgian Chocolate Cupcake was the best cupcake I’ve ever had! Loved the Iced Chocolate too, which to me rivalled the iced sipping chocolate at Vosges. Everything we tried - including chocolate covered macaroons, brownies, and krispie squares - was delicious

Always a highlight of our trips! This place is like a still back through my childhood, while at the same time putting permanent smiles on my 3 kids faces! Our family loves this spot and it’s a must-do whenever we’re on the island!
