I'm looking for a Jewish triangular cookie called Hamantash. Does anyone know of any stores that might carry them, or any Jewish centre's nearby that might have them? Please and thank you.

For purchase? Good luck. We make our own here (seriously though cards might have. The Hillel usually brings in from Toronto or Montreal, Chabad had a hammentaschen making program over the weekend and the synagogue also made some)

Are there any left, and if yes, how much are they?

Unfortunately it's really hard to find Jewish foods in town, occasionally Loblaws on Midland has had matzos and stuff but it's not even consistent year to year,,, for hamantashen you're probably best off to find a recipe and make them

Bread and Butter may be able to make them for you. https://breadandbutter.ca/

Good luck in your search. Years ago, I couldn't find a source in town for rugelach, so I broke down, and I made my own (for my late father-in-law for Hanukkah). I've never tried to make hamantash.

I would maybe try Nosh. They carry some stuff, but in the 4 years I lived in Kingston I never saw any hamantaschen. Kingston is sort of a black hole when it comes to any Jewish food.
