The market offers a vibrant array of fresh produce, fruits, vegetables, bread, and cheese, all brimming with energy. Since some vendors accept only CAD cash, it’s best to come prepared. We picked up some fresh fruit and bread and enjoyed the market’s relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

Great!
As a tourist location or for a local trying to buy a few things here and there this place is fantastic. Very fun coffee spots and little stores. Definitely a key spot to visit if youre new in town. Prices have gotten quite high in recent years, especially fresh produce. I remember going here when I was younger and it was actually worth the price but times have changed. But like I said, if you live close, and need a few things it is not bad but you have to shop for deals. Remember that not everything there is the best price, its marked up because the location has become quite gentrified. You can get the same stuff sometimes right around the corner for cheaper so just be aware of that and enjoy the ambiance!
