Lunch-à-Porter is the cutest shop in Old Montreal featuring adorable bento boxes, reusable…read moreutensils, drinkware, serving ware, lunch bags, resuable snack bags, etc. Most items are from Asia which, as you may or may not know, produces some cute-ass stuff. It's all very colorful, useful, and the majority of the items are eco-friendly. Lots of kid-friendly products too. I work from home so I don't have much of a need for items like these but walking around through this small (but delightful!) shop, I sure wish I had an office to take an adorably packed lunch to. But then I remembered I get to work in my PJs and a bathrobe and I put the panda bento box down and continued on my merry way. But for those who bring a lunch or have kids who like a little variety, this place has got you covered!

The display window caught my eye with its well-designed artistic show of its unique products. What products, you ask? They sell eco-friendly bottles and bento boxes!!!! Yes, for those of you who bring lunch to work/school, you can store your food in these adorable and practical lunch boxes with different compartments. Bento boxes and water bottles are sold here in different sizes. I've seen S'well bottles elsewhere but this store has some pretty colors that I couldn't help but buy one. There are kid-friendly products and everything in different colors. I can't help but get excited about this! Too bad I was only visiting, but I was SO glad I found this gem on my last day in Montreal. The lady who helped me was SO friendly and so nice. Take a look, you won't regret it.

It went way better than last time I went…read more I felt like the place was going downhill slowly. But I was surprised to see how well everything was this time around. The space is a fraction of what it used to be. But I feel like it's more currated and more accessible.

They have a wide selection and the items are well organized and maintained What's unique about this spot is they also have a cafe on the ground floor! My mom got a bowl of their soup and she gave it 2 big thumbs up ...the staff was also so welcoming and kind. If you're looking for a special place to see and shop while you're in Montreal, check out Eva B!

I saw this Miniso store while heading over to Biiru for dinner. I made a mental note of it and…read morechecked it out before heading to the Just For Laughs comedy festival. This store is the first Miniso that I have ever visited that is not in a mall. It was different seeing a standalone store. You can get cool items at cheap prices. I stumbled on the sunglasses section first. I tried on a few pairs. They felt cheap, but stylish. I like the merchandise in Miniso, although I have yet to buy anything from the store! For instance, I liked the bear USB 4-port hub. It was adorable. It would look great with the bear trash can. I do love the computer and phone accessories. I could look at the USB fans and charging cables all day. There are tons of snacks. If you like Pocky, you can find practically every flavour imaginable. The stuffed animals and water bottles were at the back. I liked the varieties and colours. There were a fair number of folks shopping when I was there. The sales folks were trying to help a person with a question as I walked out. It's a nice addition to the area. Maybe when I'm back, I'll get something and break my browsing streak! (325)

I seem to always go on the same day, heard Saturday and Sunday are the best day. Because more people go on Friday and Saturday. I got my friend to sign up! Honestly it has change my closet I love to go thrift shopping but I come home to discover a broken stitch or a stain. I love that before making it to the shwapclub they have been inspected one by one. You still need to check your white because of fondation stains. I have been trying to have a more minimalist wardrobe so I pack a few bag of clothing items and give one to my sister and keep the other one. I love that any items is a credit, purse, jeans, bikini... not every item you will bring will get accepted they have to be in great condition, in saison and have style. They have 6 change room for you to try on before you use your credits. They accept any brand other then ones that have been closed. To make sure things are still up to date. You can pay for a membership or every time you go. The owner is so lovely, she was there to help tonight.

Shwap Club may seem like your average, young, hip vintage store, but don't be fooled. This place is…read morenothing short of revolutionary. How it works: Go through your closet, looking for gently worn clothes, shoes, purses and/or jackets. Like that gorgeous dress you bought on sale at Zara but don't really fit into anymore. Or that neon shirt your favorite aunt got you for Christmas but you never wore. As the saying goes, one woman's trash is another woman's treasure! Bring your goodies to Shwap Club, where a lovely girl will sort through your bag and give you one credit for every item that makes the cut. That means clothes in good condition without holes, stains, etc. Pay $12 per visit or $85 for an unlimited annual membership. Then, start treasure hunting! You can leave with as many items as your # of credits, no matter the type of clothing. The store is neat and cozy, with a mid-century sitting area in the front and curated clothes separated according to category and color. The experience is relaxing yet thrilling, as I never know what I will find. Updating my closet without spending a dime is awesome, but most importantly I'm glad that Shwap Club has made me more mindful of my spending habits, helping me contribute less and less to mass consumerism. It's made me that much more appreciative of our planet.

The storeowner and employee were helpful in suggesting additional pieces for us based on what we already picked. Great customer service and great items!

We were so psyched that we didn't see anything like what we had in the U.S. Incredible style, quality and selection. And I had a walking stick with me and lost it in the store. Customer service found it days later and called me. We picked it up and I wrote the CEO to let him know how grateful I was. He wrote me a wonderful thank you note in response. If I can ever get back to that store again, I'm there. Otherwise, it's online shopping there forever more.

I especially love this location because Place Alexis Nihon also has a Winners, so one stop for 2 of my favourite stores. Truth be told, the Winners and Marshalls here are pretty indistinguishable from each other, lol. Brand names at a discount, what's not to love? I especially like their cosmetics/skincare. I often find brands sold at Sephora for a fraction of the cost. Just beware that the mascaras are sometimes dried up, but I've had good luck with all other make up items. I haven't had much luck with shoes here (ladies size 5 foot here, so not too surprising), and clothes are hit or miss. However, I still love the hunt ;) Review #19 (2025)

Same line concept where they automated voice calls out a number and they have all the same trinkets and goodies. They have a huge section for makeup so all you makeup gurus check it out. If you're tall the jeans here are to short and I'm talking 5'10 and up because I couldn't find any that were long enough :( I did however pick up a mascara that was 3.99 instead of the usual 8 so that's was a plus. I will be back for sure because I gotta find something soon to wear for my bday.
