The person called Dana or Diana, whether she is the owner of the shop or an employee there, gave me…read morethe most horrible experience I've yet to live anywhere in retail in Canada, with a clerk accumulating disagreeable remarks and having an altogether terrible attitude. I have been a proud Verdunois for twenty years and a customer of Bijouterie Hervieux for ten years. Nevermore. My 60 years old watch which is the only keepsake I have from my grand father has been bent (Bent!) to accomodate its new wrist watch. And to say "Faites nous confiance"! Well, Dana / Diana, no, never again will I trust you with anything, since I have now to find a *serious* jewelry store to repair the damage you have done, hoping that it's reparable. And I recommend anyone to avoid the terrible experience that is bound to happen at Bijouterie Hervieux. I certainly hope that deplorable person jumps in with another set of disparaging remarks, so you can experience the distinctively toxic welcome you might have the pleasure of experiencing at Bijouterie Hervieux. Some people are simply not born for retail, let alone serving the public.

Was just strolling down Wellington and came across this new bike shop. It is a great looking small…read moreshop and the folks seem pretty friendly. Them seem to carry a wide variety of products that should appeal to everyone from the serious roadie to the weekend rider. A great addition to the Wellington Village neighbourhood. Bonus points, the shop is located right next door to a coffee shop / pâtisserie making it a perfect meeting spot for weekend rides. Good luck to the crew at Wellington Cycle!

Just like your car needs a check-up or tune-up from time to time, so does your bike. I haven't had…read moremy bike checked, tuned up, gears adjusted or the chain cleaned properly in a few years so rather than plonking down a few hundred dollars on a new bike, I figured it's better to make what you already have, better. Super-friendly and helpful guys, I was impressed with how they inspected my bike and the recommendations they suggested. A word of warning: they are booked solid for weeks in advance, probably because we're at the beginning of summer right now. After I initially called, my appointment was 2 weeks later so realize that it's not a walk-in bike clinic. It takes a few days for them to get your bike ready and even if you have everything tuned up and a few replacement parts are needed, it's still cheaper than a new bike. Smart location considering the bike path which runs along Verdun's riverfront.

This is an excellent new Salvation Army Store on Wellington in Verdun…read more They just opened last week and I happened to walk by a day later and was mightily impressed with their stuff. First of all, if you're into vintage cookware, especially Pyrex mixing bowls, they've got them in spades here. Also, it's very clear that the stuff they have on sale here is well-curated and in excellent condition. In fact some stuff still have their original sale tags on them. I walked out the first day with a pure pink silk blouse, with original tags still on it and when I checked on ebay, something similar would go for over $150 easily and a boho gypsy blouse for next to nothing. Changing rooms are clean and the clothes are well organized. I'm not into second-hand shoes but the ones I saw would be good enough for any vintage fashionista. I'm so glad that Verdun and particularly this stretch of Wellington is suddenly becoming an epicenter of vintage and well-maintained second hand stores. Given that so many hipsters and young families are now leaving Mile End and the Plateau and moving to Verdun, it makes sense that they also bring their progressive views with them and are into the vintage scene since it's more environmentally respectful. It's starting to remind me of Brick Lane Road in London.

The shop is beyond filled with everything you need for survival gear, but also camping type items, boots, security items, food rations, various tools and many cool things for winter. You could spend hours looking at all the merch they have packed in their store - it's literally wall-to-wall (but still organized). The staff seems very knowledgeable and very passionate about their area(s) of expertise. Good to know they have much more than fatigue/camo patterned clothing, canteens and compasses.

Excellent produce section and they usually pick and carry harder-to-find produce here like the blink-and-they-are-gone yellow Rainier cherries that come from Washington state, the Saturn peaches and sea asparagus (or sea beans) which I love having with salmon. Even the non-produce selection is pretty damn good. They carry Bilbouquet ice cream, Rittensport chocolates and Banania chocolate-banana milk powder from France. Prices can be high so it's worth keeping your eye out for their weekly specials which they highlight on their Facebook page.

I needed everything checked and tuned up to make sure that I hadn't bought a clunker and that it's ready for this cycling season. Got everything checked and it turns out I got an excellent bike and the complete check up and tune up only set me back $23. The repair guy also was super helpful and gave me tips on other accessories that I might want to eventually add to my bike like types of toe-clips and bike locks. It was pretty effortless.
