It’s a hidden gem for anyone who enjoys exploring international flavors. They have an impressive selection of cheeses, cured meats, and pantry staples. The spice aisle is a standout, with a wide variety of hard-to-find spices from around the world, and the bulk section of nuts is perfect for stocking up. The staff are always helpful, and the store has a great atmosphere for finding unique ingredients. Definitely worth a visit if you’re a foodie! Such a beautiful place, you’ll be blown away by how much they have to offer!

A gorgeous treasure of a shop. Less about groceries, more about experience. It has more than one piano, chandeliers, painted ceilings….glorious! They carry Soma Chocolates, and other rare but delicious things.

BEST. STORE. EVER!
The sheer surprise factor of walking into this absolute treasure cove in the heart of Victoria West was enough to leave a beaming review. It is perhaps the most beautiful grocery store I’ve ever stepped foot in.
Each and every selection here is obviously meticulously sourced and artistically presented throughout each distinct “exhibit” of the store. One might think they were walking into an art gallery or museum of sorts. The possibilities here are endless: a decadent variety of sweets both local and international in origin, a pristine section of non-alcoholic premium beverages, freshly made baked goods, and eye-grabbing assortments of olive oils, pasta variations, jams, syrups… the list goes on. Oh and dare I forget the aesthetic wonder of it all saturated with elegance from floor to ceiling (literally a chapel-esque ceiling!).
In case it isn’t obvious - I was blown away by the obvious heart and soul put into the craftsmanship of this extravagant yet humbly located gem to Victoria. Clearly a passion project and this community is infinitely grateful for it, needless to say! 🙏

A stunning marketplace filled with organic foods, featuring beautifully designed packaging that exudes elegance and charm. The atmosphere is vibrant yet serene, with artfully arranged displays showcasing fresh produce, gourmet products, and eco-friendly goods. Every detail, from the soft lighting to the refined presentation are amazing! Of course good price.

An unexpected surprise of a shop in this otherwise residential neighbourhood. Very organized and diverse selection of specialty goods, but also the basic groceries you need for everyday. A little pricey but still less than comparable items at whole foods. And you get to support a local shop!
