The packaging and re-useable bags and ice packs make for easy and earth-friendly practice. We love the extra add-ons that are possible to order. Great personal service. We had to alter our frequency and they accommodated beautifully. AND they use local suppliers!”

The products are local, fresh, organic and they partner with great local bakeries for extra treats! The meats are well packaged with dry ice keeping them cold until we get home to open our delivery. They provide bins and they use temperature control bags for produce and they re-use it ALL. Give them a try, we especially like the subscription produce boxes.”

3198 Quadra St #4, Victoria“I totally agree that this market is a hidden gem for Indian spices and ingredients! Very low key displays! Comprehensive collection. Loved the casual cardboard box organization system. If you know what you are looking for they will help you find it! Reasonable prices and super nice. The whole experience is charming compared to the highly commercialized "real world" out there. I'm definitely going back.”
“Great selection. Some things are a bit over priced, but others are i think under priced. Like any smaller private grocer, they charge whats reasonable for them.
Staff is hit and miss, some are super friendly and helpful, but they get students who couldn't give two blinks.
Good bakery and deli sections.”
