Reviews of Picard's (Fruit Store)

G B

Amazing selection of home made sweets and snacks. Great ice cream, too. The chocolate covered cherries and sponge toffee are fantastic.

Kimberley Thompson

Great selection of delicious sweet and salty treats. Everything always tastes so fresh.

Jane Humble

Easy to find what you want. When we asked an employee why a certain product was on sale, she explained the expiry was soon approaching. We thanked her for that tidbit of info.

Terry Proveau

Got some good sugar free candies here which are hard to find elsewhere. Bought some grown in Ontario peanuts which are always nice! Wish this company and their parent company would get together and stop the family feuding, it leaves a bad taste in the public's psyche knowing that family issues split this company in half.

Darren Seefried

Fun place to grab sweets, don't be fooled.. Go for the flavoured peanuts, easy to be swayed by the chocolate but the peanuts are the best!

Vic Mueller

Great place for peanuts and other products for snacks. We've been going here for years.

Chris Overholster

Typical Picard's location. Chip nuts are the best thing to stop for. So many flavours and all delicious.

CURTIS RIVAIT

Great selection and friendly staff

Terry Babij

Excellent ice cream at reasonable prices. Great selection of their Chip-Nuts. So many flavours to test before buying!! Not sure why exit locked??

Franco Andreatta

I went to buy almonds today for cookies. We made our Christmas batch of cookies. Wish we didn't use thoses almonds taste like chemicals. Old for sure.

Arhama Syed

The cutest store with such an amazing selection of nuts and chocolate. Wish I could try ice cream, will go back to do that

Davindra Ramnarine

We can't go to Niagara and not stop in at Picard's. Somehow they take peanuts and sunflower seeds and coat them in potato chips. If this isn't your thing they also offer chocolates, candies, and fudge.

Jules

Small little place near Niagara on the lake. Very clean and organized. Loved the fact you could try the peanuts before buying.

Catsie Games

So many snacks to choose from sweet to savory! Chips are amazing!

Anup T.N.

What a place. Didn’t imagine myself carrying 12 kilos of peanuts in different forms, out of the shop and then bringing everything back to India.

Bernie Peskett

Love Picard's. Amazing selection of nuts, chocolates and other great gift ideas. It's an annual Christmas shopping stop, with guaranteed satisfaction to be found each year. Great prices also.

William Jones

One of our favorite quick stopovers in Niagara. Sampling of the various peanut flavors makes the experience worthwhile. Always end up buying a few bags of peanuts...great place to bring friends. Never disappointed.

Sarah Andersoon

Last Saturday I visited the NOTL location ( dec 9 ) I purchased a chocolate bar. I then asked a staff member for a bag for my item (That I had just purchased from that staff member) and (implying that I was going to shoplift) she said no because you are going to go take it into the store. I clearly shocked at her accusation said what? She then realized she has sold me the item rolled her eyes & said here (handing me a bag). My entire family & I have purchased from picards every year for decades now & WE are astounded by the terrible customer service.

Mrs. Gagnon

Great selection of sweet AND salty snacks. Ice cream, juice. Friendly staff. The only negatvive is that they had no coconut covered marshmallows.????

Rula B. Morcos

This is a great store selling many different treats. There are some tasty samples. The prices seemed reasonable. The service was friendly.

Doris Bradley

Love this place. Quality peanuts and products.

Sara Scott

Amazing peanut options. Love the ice cream as well. Delicious treats and local snacks.

Hu Yun Lo

Everything there is good. Don't believe me?? Then try the samples. The key words is SAMPLES... It's not a free buffet. Try it. You won't regret the selection of candy, chocolate and nuts!!

Sid Van Abbema

Great products as always. A must stop in every time we come by.

Meheroo Jamshedji

A nice place to pick up all kinds of nuts for snacks. They are very generous with their tasting bottles.

The chipnuts are delicious! So many flavours to choose from. Tons of chocolate items too. Alot of choices and all of them delicious!

John Menary

Peanuts! All kinds of peanuts! Oh and a few other snacks, but did I mention the peanuts?

Ashley Anderson

Husband loves the extra fancy red skins and will travel far and wide to get to a Picard's to buy them!????

Adam Duncan

Who doesn't love Picard's?! Their chip nuts are fantastic and the rest of their confections never disappoint. For those who like salty and sweet I strongly recommend the chocolate covered chipnuts; and for those who like some heat, the spicy dill really hits the spot!

Richard Viau

Aaaah! Peanuts Galore!!! Close to my favorite winery Stratus, we stocked up on those fantastic potatoes covered flavored peanuts! Mioum!!!

Paul Spicer

Great place . Staff so friendly and a huge selection of goodness . Lots of parking.

Karen Charles

2 words. Free Samples! Great selection, cute rustic location. The prices are better than I expected them to be. The location was good with ample parking. Very fresh and tasty selections! I recommend the Potato chip peanuts Salt and Vinegar flavour!

C P

Great store if you are a lover of various nuts. They specialize in crispy potato shell covering peanuts in various flavors such as ketchup salt&vinegar, chili etc. Dark and milk chocolates, dried fruit, Maple syrup, jams. It's part of the experience heading out to Niagara falls.

Will Vandermeulen

Friendly workers and excellent products. Great gifts.

Iza A.

Couldn't believe how many different flavor of peanuts they have. It's nice that they offer samples so you can taste before you buy.

Coral Courtney

Mostly a large selection of nuts - including peanuts. You can enjoy a few samples to help with the selection. Staff is friendly.

Amanda De Palma

All different kinds of peanut and different flavors. There is different kinds of chocolates. Always we visit Picard's when we are in niagara.

Kevin Grice

Awesome every time I go in there it's nice.... Great snacks and food options delicious peanuts...mmmmm

Omid G.

Aside from the free samples, this place the best peanuts anywhere and while you are at it, enjoy an ice cream cone.

Andi Curtis

I love so much about this place. The chip nuts, the chocolate covered everything, sponge toffee, all the old fashioned style products. I've been going to other Picard Peanuts for years. Now that I have moved to the falls, I decided to visit this location for a little Christmas shopping. I was not disappointed.

Justin Des Cotes

Great selection & good product, however the staff are quite rude, will not be returning to this one particular location.

Dave Taylor

Great place for neat snacks. They didn't have the peanuts I wanted. Otherwise lots of different snacks ooooh, and great fudge too.

Wendy Stebbing

What a find! Crispy potato chip covered peanuts...who thought of this? Omg. There were lots of great snacks here and samples galore. I especially loved the chocolate covered pecans.

Bob Barrie

Massive assortment of nuts. If you are nuts for nuts, then you gotta get here. Friendly staff, great selection, reasonable prices. Have visited several times over the years. One recommendation to the owner is to also sell bag clips.

Clara Mascia

Great selection ..Gifts for special events ..I always shop here..

Todd Hunter

All the Peanut flavors and good selection of gift baskets at reasonable prices!

Elaine

Stopped in on a whim on a Saturday afternoon. Lots of flavours and choices for candy and peanuts. Friendly service.

Nancy

This store is open during the pandemic. I didn't stop but saw it was open.

Adam Moreau

The products and prices are great. You can sample nearly all of the kinds of chip nuts and there are many flavors to choose from. Worth a visit, you'll have a hard time walking out without getting something. Also their ice cream is fantastic and at a great price. Don't pass it up.

Larry Phillips

I love this place, I can never get out with spending less than $25.: Who doesn't love nuts?? So many different choices and not just peanuts! Today I picked up candied Pecans, a flavor coated pumpkin seeds, 2-3 different coated peanuts, some raw in shell peanuts, I'm going to make boiled peanuts in the Instant Pot when I get home. I saw them on a road trip to Florida one year (Kids and Disney eh? Ok maybe the parents has as much fun!) but never tried them. Will be an experience for sure. On the way out I also grabbed the drink and mini bag of chips shown in the photo. Chips were a 4/5, smelled stronger than they tasted but had an amazing crunch!! I'll probably sneak back here before I head home on my own.

Char cylchar

Stocked up for Christmas after visiting Niagara On the Lake. My families favourite place for peanuts, candy & chocolates!

Brandon Vegso

One of the best stores in the Niagra Region, I've never had better service from anyone than I got from Picard's very own Stephanie V. Thank you so much!!!!

Farley Hadley

Picard's has a great selection of snacks and goodies. It is more expensive than what one might be used to in grocery stores and such, but the quality is excellent.

Brian Alexander

So much good food at Picard's! Got sponge toffee there for the first time and it was amazing! Like a Crunchie bar but softer and more flavorful. Of course you can't go wrong with the selection of peanuts. They also have maple syrup, fudge, and more. The labels do say may contain wheat, although not an ingredient, it is made in facilities that process wheat, so if you're gluten-free, you decide if it's worth the risk :)

Christie Shepherd

Great prices!! Nice staff

Winnie Tam

I must came here if I came to Niagara. Highly recommendation is beer nuts. It is so good. Crunchy with beer flavour, love it so much.

Mike Guy

My favorite place in Niagara on the lake. I go there everytime I visit. The free nuts brings me in each time. I always buy something, so it works.

Tyna v

What to expect? FREE SAMPLES!!! Flavoured nuts, chips, chocolate, fudge... Save room after lunch! Homemade peanuts and chips and all good things, crisp, flavourful and none of that gross oily residue. Amazing stocking stuffers, neatly compacted gift baskets, amazing variety of local Ontario peanuts and little treats, stop by, fill up, and stock up before you head out.

Caroline Wong

They sell Ontario grown peanuts which can't be easily found elsewhere. They provide sampling of their peanut products in different flavours. We love to stop by there when we visit Niagara on the lake.

Misti Lambert

Our annual visit to Canada would not be complete without a stop at Picard's. Chip nuts and beer nuts to go, please.

brett hayes

Great place for nuts....ladies not the nuts your thinking off sorry

Andrew Hodd

I love this place! Terrific products and very reasonably priced.

Diocon Pal

First time visited this place. We bought peanut brittle, popcorn & banana chips. It tasted old & stale. Cashier is very unfriendly, doesn't even say hi or thank you.

Betsy

Peanuts any flavour you want. Samples available. Also, other types of nuts, gift baskets, candy, and chocolate, sugar free candy, peanuts for birds. Wheelchair accessible. On the way to Niagara on the Lake.

Riina Hallahan

Lots of interesting products. Great small size packaging for sticking stuffers

Michael Keating

Lots of selection of very tasty peanut and nut products!

S. Carvalho

Great product, disgusting service from staff. My family and I stop at Picards any time we are on NOTL and after this last visit I have decided to leave this review. The older blond woman at this store treats my children like they are vermin and I'm sick of it. Yesterday I caught her openly snickering to another female employee about my 7 year old as she was sampling the ketchup peanuts. In a past visit, she actually hid chocolate samples from my children as they approached the counter. Who does that??? Hide chocolate samples from children?? She also speaks so rudely to my father (a 67 year old man) for no reason at all, OR does the exact opposite...she actually turned her cheek to him when he once asked her a question pretending to not hear him. Every time I'm in this store I spend a minimum of $30 (often more) because the products are amazing. But I will be going to the Waterdown store from now on because I am sick of the service from this woman. She should be ashamed of herself for behaving so openly rude to two little girls and paying customers.

Harold Partridge

I love this place! The peanuts here are the best I have tasted and there are many flavours on offer. My personal choice is garlic peanuts. They have gift boxes that make excellent Christmas gifts and various other nuts and candies too.

James Metcalfe

Picards has an absolutely amazing selection of nuts, candied nuts, and chocolates. I'll come here whenever I run out of my mega-jug of chocolate covered almonds while also getting some of the many flavoured peanuts. Coming here is worth your time if you are wanting a good selection of pre-packaged nuts and chocolates.

Elinor Huebert

Love Picards. If you haven't tried chipnuts you're missing out. Ranch is my favourite

David

This is the best place for peanuts and other snack food. They have 50 pound bags of peanuts in the shell which we feed to bluejays and squirrels. The staff are always friendly and even carry out the the big peanut bag to our car.

Ruff LIfe

Love this place, home of the chip-nut, new flavors so good, try white cheddar dill - delicious, and good chocolate options try the sponge toffee a personal favorite

Wendy Mitchell

Very nice place. Clean and organized. The only thing is that they didn't have choclate covered hazel nuts

Marco Ajon

We went to the store near Niagara-on-the-Lake. Lots of parking space. Good selection of nuts, mostly peanuts, with different flavor. Spanish style peanuts is my favorite. Also the dark chocolate covered ones are really really good.

Roger Yick

Must visit if you love peanuts; we stop by this place to stock up on nuts everytime we are in the area

Matt Li

Delicious snacks and awesome service! Great to try the different snacks too. They also sell ice cream and chips too.

Sai Charan Dronavalli

I never thought peanuts would have many flavors. Dill pickle, Dill pickle potato crisp, ranch, cocktail, BBQ and many flavours of peanuts. Must try if you are visiting Niagara

Bob Ingram

It's the place to go for peanuts. They also have Christmas bags and baskets filled with their products

John deBarros

I have never seen so many different types of nuts, an absolute haven for anyone with a sweet tooth, I even saw different types of popcorn LOL, definately will be back

T Sean

My only regret is that we didn't buy more

Bonnie Wacky

LOVE this place! They have the BEST snacks anywhere and the people working here are always polite and helpful! They not only grow their own peanuts in Ontario but they grow their own potatoes and make their own chips and chip nuts (chips wrapped round a peanut). The owner of this place also grows his own hops and makes his own beer. It's called Rambling Road Brewery Farm. GREAT place to go to buy GREAT beer where one can pick up their great snacks Their chips are the best!

John Adshead

This store has a lot of different nuts pictures from from chocolate nuts

Joanna Yorke

Tim Mitchell

Norm Bernard

Natasha Marangoni

So good!! They have so many different flavours and they’re delicious. During COVID they have everything pre packaged which is great. I make a stop here every time I’m heading to Niagara.
