It was two days before Christmas. Our family received the devastating news that a close family member had suddenly passed away. The last thing anybody wants to think of is preparing food after a loved one passes on. Yet they must eat. I called Herma's. Although I knew they would be extremely busy preparing pre-orders for Christmas, I had to ask if there was any way they had the time to prepare a Charcuterie board for me to take to our family's home. Bless Herma who passed me on to speak to Margaret in their kitchen. And bless sweet Margaret who prepared the most lovely Charcuterie board within

I love Hermas. When I go there I feel as though Im in Europe. People often describe it as being the land of Oz in the middle of a farm in Kansas. You walk into an unassuming building and bam! theres a magical display of merchandise all around. Herma has a way of decorating that makes it a delight to shop - actual entertainment. There arent just goods from Europe at Hermas. She also has given a lot of local vendors their start and continues to support local all over Ontario. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly as well. Its one of my favourite places and special gem within the

Herma's was for me an overpriced, oddly arranged, very cluttered, and difficult to move around in store falling short of upscale and lacking in unique, hard to find items. In fact, one staff member, within five minutes of me being in the store, walked over, uninvited, and told me I could easily find the items I was viewing at other stores besides Herma's. Ha what a joke! Then again hmm was that their rude and snooty way of telling me to leave?
Regardless, I continued to shop and unsurprising (as another reviewer noted) they following me around the store too while white Europeans were left to roam

Amazing little gem of a store - looks are deceiving because it's huge and there are tons of items from decorations to spices to cheese and chocolate! Well worth the trip of you're from out of town.

Just such a warm and welcoming place. Filled with goodies, appropriately priced for the quality of goods. Ive only had their food items. Will venture into the hardware and trinkets eventually. Thanks so much for being there! Northumberland is warmer with you in it!

Have to say, this place is really something special. From beautiful things to tasty treats whoever does their ordering is a genius. Excellent gifts, fancy condiments, my only regret is not stopping in sooner.
