A little about us...
Born in 2022 from a love of local flavours and family traditions, SNickelFritz Kitchens is proudly rooted in the heart of Waterloo County. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a full-blown flavour movement—And it all started with Butter Tarts... but... we have recently discontinued our tart line up to focus on our gourmet pantry products.
Our products are a love letter to the province we call home. Our lineup includes the one-of-a-kind Butter Tart Mustard and Butter Tart BBQ Sauce, the classic Oktoberfest Mustard (a nod to Waterloo Region’s traditions), and Millie’s Zucchini Relish & Millie’s Chili Sauce—recipes that feel like they’ve come straight from Grandma’s kitchen.
Beyond our sauces, we’ve created Butter Tart Granola, a crunchy twist on a beloved Ontario treat, along with our Butter Tart Coffee and smooth Signature Roast Coffee, roasted in partnership with local coffee makers.
Every product is made with care, using real ingredients sourced as locally as possible. With each jar, bag, and brew, we celebrate the flavours and traditions of Ontario while adding a spark of creativity that makes SNickelFritz Kitchens truly unique.
From our kitchen to yours, we’re here to bring bold, nostalgic, and unforgettable flavours to your table.

Our name, 'SNickelFritz Kitchens" is inspired by a playful nickname my Great Uncle Herb liked to use. He had a sweet twinkle in his eye and a gentle laugh when he said it. He and my Aunt Lili lived in a beautiful old house in Preston that always smelled like fresh baking and perked coffee. Aunt Lili (pronounced Lie-la) always had something homemade ready for a snack. Both were local to Cambridge and both remain in my heart. My name is a tribute to them and the feeling of warmth and love bestowed by them… with a little spark of humour.
My twist? My first name is Sandy, last name is Nickel. I have been SNickel@ since email was born and was given that moniker by friends.
I couldn’t think of a more appropriate name for my Kitchen.
With much love,
Sandy
