Usually grocery shops don't hold a special place for me, I generally consider groceries a chore. But Village grocer, i actually look forward to going there because it has such a nice environment!
They have stuff there that you can only find in very few places in the city, case in point: gourmet un-pastuerized honey from Quebec, Sheldon Dairy, Muskoka coffee beans, I can go on ...
Their bakery section is the BEST!!
I have eaten my fare share of Creme brules, and I often find myself comparing expensive restaurant's creme brules to Village Grocer's!
Why?
They taste amazing, the potion size is very decent, and its ONLY 5 bucks! Everything else that I have gotten from their bakery section had been nothing short of amazing as well.
TIP:
Avoid buying day to day stuff that you can find in wallmart or normal grocery stores, they have the same thing for a tad higher price. The high price to me is kind of justified since they aren't a big chain, and their price margin on their own/gourmet stuff is likely very low as they are very reasonably priced.
