The Sunshine Market is the best neighborhood market anybody could ever ask for. Speedy efficient service, and everyone is super friendly. I go to this place almost every day, and have done so for over six years.
I get 80% of my groceries here even though it's relatively expensive. I personally don't mind paying a bit extra for awesome service. Their produce is always fresh, and very reasonable cost wise. I highly recommend The Sunshine Market. -

My 'oh shit, I forgot to buy blank' neighbourhood grocery store.
Well merchandised, it has bits of everything. Hours are convenient, closing past 11pm most days. Produce prices are sometimes extreme like over $1/corn (think % difference people!), though most are reasonably ripe.
A decent Plan B. -

Such a great market! Has just about everything, and just enough of everything, knowwhatimean? For instance, it has a good selection of cereal -- not an overwhelmingly oppressive selection. Really, I don't need twelve different brand extensions of Cheerios. That's why Sunshine Market is great -- just the right amount of everything.
Also has a pretty solid amount of health-conscious and natural food, local bread suppliers, and a few packaged, marinated meats. It's like a very small Safeway (in a good way).
Great produce selection outside that's very fresh.
The checkout clerks are always very friendly and SUPER fast on the till!
And, as with every business I enter, needs more pie. ;-) -

I agree with the comments about cleanliness, stock, variety, quality, etc, but I disagree with the price comments. I think this place is one of the more expensive "but at least they have great stuff!" produce-and-staples stores out there, and think perhaps others might not be seeing the same variety of shops?
I could also use more smiles and "thank yous" when I'm patronizing a place, but that's just my old-fashioned sentiment. Not quite as "Sunshine"-y as they'd have you believe. -

the best "corner store" in the city. You want it?..they got it.
Some of their prices are usual corner store mark up but some stuff is cheaper than your big box stores.
Lots of great produce and tons of selection in the store. Not your usual corner store processed foods but lots of fresh meats and dairy too.
They started to carry Uprising Bakeries bread after I requested it and are open to any requests.
Support a local business.It's convenient in the Oak St hood.
Cindy one of the cashiers is awesome too! -

Nice place. Cheap and good produce, but regular groceries are more expensive. Lots of choice for a small market, and nice because it leans more towards Choices/Capers type stuff rather than Safeway/Buy-Low. My organic/vegetarian girlfriend can always find what she needs here. Open til midnight every night which is nice, but doesn't open until 10:30am.

Granted, this market is right next door to my apartment, so I have good reason to like it so much. But if you shop the sales, you will find some pretty darn cheap produce, especially for this neck of the woods. I wouldn't recommend buying all the grocery essentials here, but speaking from experience, this is the perfect place to grab some mix and some snacks before having friends over for drinks.

Excellent for fruits and veggies or little grocery items you need in a hurry. Grocery items are overpriced compared to a supermarket, so I usually only buy fruit here as its cheaper and better than you will find at a supermarket.

I moved from Vancouver in 1989, we lived on w13th and Oak. The fruits/vegs were always fresh and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

It's not the friendliest store, but I really like Sunshine Market for its fresh and beautiful looking produce and its Asian and organic groceries. They stock plenty of items for the health-conscious shopper; there are plenty of tofu items alongside whole wheat pastas and organic cereals. The prices for produce range from moderate to slightly more than average, while the rest of the groceries are probably a bit more than you'd pay in a larger store. But, it is a pleasant experience to shop here in that it's clean and small and tidy. Another thing I like about this store is that it stays open late, until 11 most nights, so if you need a late night snack, this place is great.
