    They know whatsup when it comes to olives. They offer samples of products to ensure you'll enjoy the product. Very friendly service.

    The spices may seem pricey, but when I compared it to an organic grocery store brand, they were on par.

    I have been going to Essence of Life for years - literally probably 16 years at this point. Which…read moreis crazy! They have never lost their Kensington vibe or decent prices! You can always find a ton of products in here that are better priced then other health food stores. Staff are always lovely. I stop in here all the time even when I don't need anything. They have everything from fresh veggies, to dairy (and vegan dairy), meats (and vegan meats), drinks, snacks, oils, bulk pantry items, household cleaning and toiletries, and a large supplement section. It's amazing that they can fit all of this in one seemingly small store!

    I randomly was looking for rosemary oil because I saw a trending video by a dermatologist that…read morerosemary oil is effective for hair growth?! (do your own research). A natural way to promote more hair growth? I'm down to try. I am amazed this little store in Kensington has so many essential to trendy natural products at such reasonable prices. You'll find anything from natural deodorant to vegan nail polish, essential oils, natural beauty products, cleaning supplies, and a grocery at the back. Wow! I can see why they are so busy. It can be tricky to find things you need through all the aisles of products, but the staff knows where everything is when you ask. Purchased Neem oil 100ml (Unbranded) $5.99 Rosemary oil organic 30ml (Now brand) $17.99 Their Dr. Bronner's Castile soap is a great price compared to buying online through Amazon. It's always a great bonus to save money while supporting local.

    Do Rego is everything a local grocer SHOULD be - and a bit more! A father and son run…read moreestablishment, the hallmark of this shop is produce. Fresh, varied, and generally a couple of grades higher than you'll find elsewhere they manage to keep an excellent selection and fantastic pricing due to the solid base of their Portuguese customers and growing traffic from neighborhood newcomers. So why does a local market get a 5 star review? Aside from the lack of gouging, Do Rego has long standing relationships with local farmers. So starting every Spring season, they end up with some of the best examples of truly local produce without screaming about it's provenance and jacking up the price 200%. When walking down Bloor St. with a couple of bunches of the local fresh green onions (which easily exceed .5 meters in length!) I've actually been stopped and asked where I got them. FYI they were a whopping 50 cents for a big fat bunch. The other item of special note are the cheeses from the Azores. Many places in Toronto carry the Quebec-made equivalents which are tasty, but ain't nothing like the real thing. Do Rego always has the real stuff and they will happily slice you a taste - try and NOT buy some - I dare you. Ultimately, Do Rego has redefined my relationship with the local grocer. Most of my experiences with corner market have been borne of convenience tempered with predatory pricing. Do Rego calls to mind the "grocer" of yore. The one my parents told me about, the archetype from old tv and films, the one I never expected to personally experience. So perhaps the 5 stars are mostly for reminding of the way things should be...

    Small family run grocery store run by father and son. Although small, have a remarkable variety of…read moreproducts including fresh fruits, veggies and other staples. Try some of the cheese they keep behind the counter, they will let you sample it first. Only reason for a 4 vs a 5 star rating is that they don't really carry anything organic. If your looking for a local store with fresh produce and reasonable prices give them a try.
