I had never been to this nursery before but I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in and it wasn't as cramped as others and that things were a lot easier to find. I would definitely come here again because even after one visit, I think it's my favorite nursery. I even got myself two little plants which I didn't expect to pick up. They have everything you could possibly need for that green thumb of yours... except for possibly an actual garden but you can make one with the pots and such that they sell.

It's a great place to swing by for chatting or you could even work quietly over coffee. Their matcha latte subbed with honey instead of sweetener is wonderful. The chicken Caesar wrap is my favourite savoury item and they have a bevy of baked goods for your eyes and stomach to feast on. The little shopping experience of local treasures is so thoughtfully curated. I picked up a gorgeous glass with the Twin Lions mountains that once again connects this cafe to the North Shore. United Strangers is everything I love about the mount Seymour area, filled with local charm. It always feels like a good place to be.

And looked at all the cool stuff they sale. Plenty of seating. Parking lot is not big but didn't have a problem getting one. I will be back!

My dad bought a fountain in 1976. That fountain was passed on to me in 2005. It has never been…read moresealed or treated in any way and we have all thoroughly enjoyed the way it has aged over the years... I believe it's called a patina by now ;o) It has finally started leaking so I went there today. We met Roberto a son of the original owner... what a very lovely person! They were gracious enough to give us a wee tour of their processing area... such creativity and passion. The staff was patient with my endless questions and I never felt any pressure to have to purchase anything. I ended up ordering a beautiful table and benches for our yard. It takes a few weeks to make so I'll be putting in my order for the fountain then. I love this place and highly recommending a go look-see!

I was recently in the market for a good puzzle glue, of all things, and it had to be REALLY good,…read moreas the puzzle in question was very special and pricey (limited edition, and a gift from a dear friend). I am familiar with DeSerres stores as they are a national, high-end arts supply store, and when I used to be a student in design school, we'd often get specialized items here in Montreal, years ago. I went online and saw that they carry not one but TWO good puzzle glues, so off I went, to find this store. I found the place easily, on Grandview, close to the Italian Community Center where I got my COVID booster a while back. And right off the bat, I was impressed that there was a dedicated parking lot for their clients. Free parking? Yes, please! Upon entering the store, a young woman who was manning the cash greeted me, and I asked her where the puzzle glue was. She knew exactly where and told me which aisle. As I walked to the area, I was struck by all the canvases, acrylic paints and brushes. What a great selection, and all of excellent brands. (Not the kind at generic craft stores). I also was struck by all the artsy "toys" - the kinds I've not seen elsewhere. Know a kid who's creative? This truly would be the place to get him or her gifts. I didn't go upstairs, but it was clear there was a second floor. I was amazed at all the puzzles they had. I didn't remember DeSerres having puzzles and toys, only art supplies. And the puzzles they had were excellent quality ones, like Ravensburger, and all depicted scenes and artworks that I've never seen on puzzles before. I don't think you'd have to worry about missing pieces or ill-fitting pieces if you got any of these puzzles. I couldn't find the puzzle glue, but the employee who greeted me came to check on my progress in finding what I came here for, and when I told her there were no glues in the aisle, she said they just got a shipment of stuff "in the back" and she'd go check. So nice! Unfortunately, when she returned she said that no glues were in that shipment and the next shipment isn't for another week or two. Darn it. I had assumed if an item was on their website, it'd be in stock in the store. Next time I'll know to call first to check. The employee suggested I try maybe Michael's or another craft store (I forget the name), and I thanked her for her help. She really tried to help me out and I appreciated it. The prices at this store are not cheap, but we're not dealing with cheap merchandise. Just call first if you're looking for a specialized item.

The door opens directly on to the sidewalk, but there is no handicapped door opener. They keep sale items upstairs. There is an elevator but a key is needed and it takes you to a staff only area. It's clear that the primary purpose of the elevator is staff moving items and not accessibility for people who can not use stairs. We felt like complete afterthoughts trying to shop here.
