Oriental Market is a fantastic little Asian supermarket in a perfect spot on Gloucester Road…read more It is just a few door away from another Asian supermarket, Dano, which is the one I normally use. But with Dani closed I gave orients market a shot. It is a decent size shop with a row a freezers in the middle that are filled with dumplings, frozen seafood and other stuff that I'm yet to discover. On either side of the shop they have rows of metal shelves full of instant noodles, sauces, spices and other Asian ingredients to that you'd expect to find. It is really well stocked. The women working there was very helpful when I was trying to choose the right dumplings and also helped me pick a really nice light soy sauce. She even gave me a fortune cookie when I paid for my stuff! I'll be paying this place more attention when doing my Asian shipping from now on

The front area never seems to be that busy, but the cafe at the back always seems to be buzzing. On one occasion I stopped in to grab an Americano on the way back to the hotel. It seemed a bit manic as it seemed as though the three ladies behind the counter were new or maybe not as well acquainted with the appliances and till. As I was ordering my Americano, I spotted some lovely looking sweet treats and decided to get some brownies. It took a bit long to get the Americano, but it did allow me time to nose about and take a look at the sandwich board. As I was waiting, a fourth lady appeared with a delicious looking cake! It looked freshly baked and decorated. Not sure what kind of cake it was, but I may have been drooling. I bought two (yup, one for me and one for Mr. Snarky). I thought that the white bits inside the brownie were nuts, but to our, pleasant, surprise, they were actually chunks of white chocolate. Mr. Snarky and I agreed that it really enhanced the brownie. The brownie itself wasn't too sweet, so when you bit into a piece of the white chocolate, it was really quite lovely. The brownie was also a great balance between fudgy and cakey... not always an easy feat to achieve. It is definitely one of our favourite brownies now. On my second visit, it was a bit quieter... still busy, but the three staff behind the counter this time seemed to have everything under control. I decided to have a cream tea. The selection of tea is quite nice, but a bit overwhelming as you are staring at the glass jars on the wall. The lady said she would bring my order to me when it was ready. While it looks like there is outdoor seating, I chose to sit inside, at a table along the wall facing the counter where the sandwiches are made. As I waited, I watched one of the staff lovingly putting together a sandwich. She was quick, but graceful. Not sure that I have seen a sandwich put together so lovingly! On one of the sandwiches, she carefully made sure that the meat (not sure what it was... maybe tuna, maybe pieces of chicken?) was in every bite, rather than clumped in the middle. On another sandwich, after putting the greens and other piece of bread, she carefully tucked in some of the greens that were sticking out. It really was lovely process to watch. I posted a picture of my cream tea... The scones are huge! And they are lovely as well. Having tasted the strawberry jam, I am tempted to buy a jar from the deli area as I really enjoyed it. As I was finishing my scone, I noticed a man and another woman walked in, they walked behind the counter and began asking how things were going. Presumably the owner??? Immediately they began helping out, tidying things up and the man stopped at my table and asked how my scone was. Really friendly service and they really take pride in the quality of the food they serve.

I've never met Reg but I like his veg. Independent green grocers are as rare as hens teeth (writing…read morethat makes me sound old...) and those remaining should be treasured I reckon. Definitely take a detour from your trip to the supermarket for this place. Fresh, ripe, and neatly presented, the produce is excellent. The range is better than most supermarkets, with things like rhubarb and celariac making guest appearances. The staff are friendly, and give a real community to the place. I know its just veg we're talking about, but this is refreshing after a visit to Tesco. Go here to support an independent and get some soul with your veg.

The prices are much lower than in the supermarket and being in Clifton Village there isn't really much of a 'supermarket' to shop in anyway. Anybody who has lived here will tell you how glad this independent fruit & veg shop is here. Perfect for grabbing some strawberries and sitting in Victoria Square on those lazy lunch breaks. Everything they sell is tasty, you can tell they're experts, from the chillies to the melons, they also put their stock out in front of the shop, which creates this beautiful outside market stall effect with the large outside cafe next door. They sell pot plants and fresh locally made apple juice with your choice of rhubarb or ginger to name a couple of combinations.

They always have a fantastic selection of both in and out of season fruit and veg as well as many herbs and some more unusual and exotic things. The best thing of all abou this place are thier prices. I used to be able to buy enough fruit and veg for the whole week for under a tenner (and that is pretty much all I eat so there was always a large bag full of goods taken home). All thier produce is very tasty too and good quality as well. What i dont like about this place though it that it is always super busy on a saturday and you are fighting to get in and get everything that you want. There are loads of people serving but they are concious of all the people that need serving so they are trying to get you in and out as fast as they can and sometimes try nd serve two people at once which sometimes ends up gonig a little wrong.
