Stopped by to pick up some snacks for the rest of our vacation week. This was a great to shop when…read morestaying at Fairmont Springs. There really wasn't a decent grocery store in Fairmont Springs where they only had small markets. It is worth the trip to go to Invermere to get a larger variety of foods for overall better prices. This was one of two grocery stores that we found. Both were good and met our needs for the week that we stayed at Fairmont Springs.

Up until two months ago my husband did all of the grocery shopping. When he became ill, it fell to…read moreme. Over the past two months I've found the staff to be super helpful, but there are two cashiers that really stand out. I don't know either of their last names, but one is called Upasna. She was at the customer service desk the first time I saw her. She is very friendly and super helpful. She even offered to carry my purchases to my car for me. The second one that impressed me was Shannon. She is always bright and bubbly and funny. People like her make going through the checkout a joy instead of a pain. Both of these young ladies deserve a pat on the back. I look forward (joyfully) to shopping in your store again and again! Midge Nayler.

We weren't even in there for 5-minutes and the lady at the cash register literally said…read moreword-for-word: "Do you guys need help finding something? This isn't a museum. Hurry up because I got stuff to do!" We're the one of two sets of customers in the store and the other customers just left. It was very rude and it was in the middle of the afternoon. Won't be coming back. As I left I told her it was very rude how she acted, but she didn't seem to care and she wasn't checking IDs either.

They must get tired of this. So very, very, very tired…read more What am I talking about, you say? I'm talking about Americans who stop in here to evacuate their pockets of Twoonies & Loonies. It must be annoying to have Americans stop in here to unweigh themselves of Canadian Currency. But you know what, the lady working here when we stopped by: super nice, eh? While prepping to leave Canadia, we took a pit stop at the Real Canadian Superstore to get rid of our Loonies, Twoonies, and any other hard cash. This basically means we buy lots of Cheezies, Smarties, Eat More bars, and other Canadian junk food. However, as we were walking the parking lot, we noticed a liquor store across the way. My sister and I sauntered our way on over there. This little liquor store was "warehouse-sized", but it was nice inside, and there were lots of beverage (of the alcohol variety) options here. Most of it was the standard stuff, but we noticed some local B.C. microbrews, and had to do some on-the-fly coin calculations. How many bottles are in a 6-Pack?!? How many Twoonies will I need to buy one? What would Bob & Doug MacKenzie do????? (http://youtu.be/w1RN3cYnY9k) We ended up picking up a couple of 16oz bottles and then making our way to the checkout counter. This is where it gets embarrassing for the United States of America. We basically dived our hands in our pockets and laid down a pile of coins in front of the lady. And ya know what? We were short! This is when we had to run to the car to get our mommy. She came in with a big smile....and some silver. More counter-clinking coins clamored for attention and counting. We did it. All the coins (and lint) from our pockets were removed. We had liquid souvenirs from Canada. The counter lady smiled and sent us on our way.

The cinnamon roll had the perfect amount of sweet and the scone was so soft! My boyfriend and I got two caramel lattes that were perfect for our Roadtrip. It's a small quaint spot that have a constant flow of people coming in and out in the morning. I would choose this spot any day for my morning coffee run.

I will continue to return to this location for treats and fine meats.

The place doesn't look like much from the outside, only because it's attached to a petrol station. Don't let that fool you, this is an uuuupscale market. Not only did I find a breakfast bagel that turned out to be the best I've ever tasted, but I found some delightful frufru juice to wash it all down. The sandwich: Egg, cheese, Canadian bacon, and some magical tomato-y? sauce smashed between a poppyseed bun ... Seriously, the best I've ever devoured. I took one bite and I'm pretty sure my eyes popped out of my head at the same moment my brain was thinking "what is this sorcery!?" Tip: They will heat the sammie up for you at the coffee counter.
