The shop made its home in a 150-year-old preserved barn, just half a kilometre from the similarly-named Devil’s Punch Bowl conservation area.

Aside from a bakery and market, the Punch Bowl also boasts a garden centre and greenhouse — which sells bedding plants, hanging baskets and other garden items.

The Stoney Creek fixture’s final day is Dec. 23.
