Here we are in December and I am eating strawberries that taste like sun ripened August, for 2.99…read more Two packs of blueberries for 4 bucks. Arugula, green onions, kale, bananas, peppers, and some flowers. Total under $20. And the service is fast and so friendly. I think because so many people shop here, the produce turnover is high, and thus everything is fresh. I love this place.

A pack of mixed mushrooms for under $2... organic fresh asparagus at $4 a bunch in the summer .... you get the picture.

Plenty of selection with some at rock bottom prices where the incentive is to move their product, rather than to maximize a profit. That's appreciated when you just need to cook and are not in the market for tourist activities. It's right across from Essence on the corner of Kensington beside rasta pasta. No need to go anywhere else, as they 'have it all'. Cash only.

I absolutely LOVE Fruit King. Here's why:…read more The produce is always fresh and somehow always seems to taste miles better than what I get at big chain grocery stores. Not to mention it's dirt cheap. I eat A LOT of fruits and veggies, which can get pretty pricey...thanks to Fruit King I can afford to feed myself :) And the good doesn't stop there. For such a tiny hole-in-the-wall market they still manage to have a great variety of produce. I should mention though that if you're looking for a fully stocked grocery you've come to the wrong place. However, they do carry things are difficult to find in regular groceries (for example, lemon grass...I can NEVER find lemon grass!). And you'll find other goodies besides fruits and veggies-- cheap spices, dry noodles, Asian cooking sauces, canned/jarred goods, dried fruit, etc. As far as service goes it's top-notch. The cashiers ring-in and bag your purchases at the speed of light. Fruit King is just plain delicious!

I typically don't shop for groceries in places other than the grocery store and very rarely,…read moreChinatown but I have been noticing the fresh fruits and vegetables that this place is displaying now that the weather has been improving. I just purchased 2 tubs of fresh organic strawberries for $3! Steal! That is way cheaper than St. Lawrence Market. I will keep my eye out for similar deals whenever I pass this place again. The inside of the store looks very similar to a Chinatown store setup, with a scale and 1 cashier at the front that quickly processes the transactions. It's true, there's no service provided here, and the area where they place the vegetable looks quite dingy but the freshness of their produce and price is what the 4 stars are for.

This is an Asian grocery and flower shop. It is the smallest that I've seen, being long and narrow…read more It is very clean, tidy, and bright, unlike most Asian grocery stores. There are fresh groceries (mostly fruit), refrigerated groceries, snacks, and cut flowers. Some of the fruit and snacks are imported, such as pomelo from China, strawberries from South Korea, and Oreos from China. Everything appears to be very fresh, except maybe the bananas. Prices seem reasonable, especially located in the downtown core. The customer service is courteous. It recently opened in Nov 2023. The store is wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-005

Cherry picking season has started and it's a good opportunity to go to cherry orchards and enjoy…read moresome time with your family, especially little ones. We arrived here early in the morning and the parking lot was half full and we bought our baskets (they only accept debit or cash) and went inside the orchard. There were many cherry trees that were perfect height for kids and adults, with different sizes of cherries on them. We spent almost 2 hours and since we were planning to pick both sweet cherries and sour cherries, we went to one of the staff and she redirected us to another orchard of theirs to pick the sour cherries. It was around 9:30-10 when we went to the other orchard and all the parking lots were full and there was a huge lineup for cars in both orchards to get in and big lineups to buy baskets and get inside the orchard. So, I suggest going in early in the morning. They have less sour cherry trees available and you need to spot them between sweet cherry trees and they're as delicious as the sweet cherries. They have very friendly and helpful staff that adds to the fun of picking your own cherries.

We've been coming to Cherry Avenue Farms since we were young. It would be a fun cousins day out and…read moreour families would just load up on delicious fresh cherries! It's so much fun and despite the large crowds, you're not really too crowded once you get into the cherry trees section. This farm has been up and running for over 220 years and it's amazing to see the family continues to do well and offer a place for Pick Your Own on a variety of fresh produce. I think it was $5 admission for adults and that amount will be deduced from your fruit basket if you pick anything. Typically, we pick a whole giant ton of cherries to gift to friends (and of course eat for ourselves). Staff here are great and everything is made easily accessible. If I had one little advise, it would be to offer more step stools and maybe guide on how to use. There were only 5 step stools in a very very large space and this one family hogged them all to just sit on. All the good cherries were up top and way out of reach, unless we did some climbing. I loved PYO farms as a kid and bring friends / plan family summer outings to these types of farms. It's just so nice to be outside away from technology and traffic. Love it here! The fruits are delish by the way.

When they saw they were in a package from another grocery store, they let me go but didn't even apologize. Shoplifting must be common for them but that's no excuse. I was carrying the apples in a black reuseable cloth bag on my shoulder so I'm not sure how they even saw what was in the bag. I'm clean, well-dressed and I wasn't doing anything suspicious like reaching into the bag but they made me feel like I was the one who did something wrong. Please don't support them.

The vendors are very friendly and many have samples of goodies to try before purchasing.

This is a great spot and not too big to have a wander and get some great groceries…read more Two nice meat markets with all manner of steaks, pork, sausages, deli meats and cheeses (and farm eggs!). They have a Danish bakery, and a Cob's bread outlet (love those sourdough dinner rolls), and a green grocers. There is a stand that sells all kinds of honey and maple syrup and teas. Outside they have a great garden centre. It really is an all around place, and I haven't even mentioned all the vendors. Lots to choose from including some organic offerings. Check them out -- you won't be sorry! Lots of free parking too!

One of the stores at St Lawrence Market. Walking past, I always wondered what fine foods they sold…read more This review is based off of their ready to eat empanadas. It is from a box and you can either buy the packaged box to go or eat one of their ready and heated empanadas. For $4, it was tiny and although tasty, the filling is barely existing. I chose beef and there was barely any meat, mostly just dough. Although understandable this isnt made by the store on site, but rather from a packaged box, sold in fours, and not sure of the cost of that, but hopefully its not 4 x $4 = $16, as it would definitely be a rip. The savoury pastry gets 2 stars from me plus 1 for the nice lady serving the empanada and allowing me to use card to pay. If you want a SMALL snack and really like dough, then maybe try this.

The empanada was very tasty. Service was horrible…read more We stood in front of the empanada stand for 5 minutes while the lady put more food on the grill not even asking us if we wanted anything. We asked if we can get an empanada and she said you have to pay inside. We went inside, paid, and were directed back to the empanada stand by the gentleman behind the cashier. The lady was not back at the empanada stand so we patiently waited for an empanada (there were no other customers at the time). After a few moments, another couple walked in, bought an empanada through the same gentleman, to whom the gentleman then escorted back and served an empanada. We were already taken aback by what happened. However, expected him to then serve us, he removed his glove and proceeded to walk back to the cashier. We had to stop him and ask if he was going to serve us...
