    This is a convenient spot in an area that needs this type of place. However, I have found that the three times I visited, they never had what I wanted.
    First, I went in looking for fresh herbs. No, they do not sell fresh herbs. Are they not healthy?
    Second, I went last Saturday looking for both sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds for homemade granola. I was told "she usually has them but I guess not today" How do you respond to that, "ummm.. thanks??" I ended up having to go to Kensington Market for my granola ingredients. It turned out really well, but I am going to toast it less next time.
    Third, I tried the place AGAIN on Sunday looking for pecans. Guess what I was told when I asked if they had them? You got it! "We usually do!" o. k.  I got my pecans at a health food place near my office on Tuesday. They are tough to come by in Toronto!
    So, even though I am 0-3, the place is clean, the people are friendly even if they don't have what I want, and I am sure I will get it right soon! They do have nice displays and a comprehensive selection of flours, germs and mixes, so I'll definitely try again. Doesn't hurt that it is so close, either.
