this place IS my happy place. I could (and have) wander the aisles for hours. That would be an amazing way to spend ANY day. I have actually brought people to kensington market JUST so I could introduce them to this place, it's THAT good. I've been going here for well over 10 years and am happy to say that it's gotten better and better!
If you have any questions about any of the products, the owners of the store are great. Most of the part time staff can't answer questions (except for one guy in the grocery section that always seems to be around conveniently when I have a million questions - go you, guy!) but the two women who seem to own the place know everything, including which bulk products are truly raw. The prices are great (although tutti fruitti does take best priced on many items, including the raw and the superfoods) and they stay pretty competitive with other market stores.
Seriously, this store has everything you will ever need to live a healthy and happy life - and at prices that won't bust your budget! They also have the cheapest cacao nibs in town (although their price HAS gone up 3$/lb over the summer...still the cheapest!). Toooons of natural house and beauty products, including everything you need to make your own. Loads of gluten-free and vegan items. And CHEAP sweets from the earth baked goods!!!
I really can't think of any way this place could be better. Thank you Essence for making my LIFE!
