I did it! I made it in and bought all that I desired!

2 croissants, 1 loaf of Boulangerie sourdough, a mango, a carton of local and organic eggs, apple cider, 2 apples, and green onions. All of this tasty, high quality food stuff for $21 - YAHOO.

I love the Indian Grocery! You can get such great spices along with kitchen staples for low prices.

Last time I popped in, I picked up lentils along with an assortment of spices, from cardamom pods to some great chana masala mix. Oh, and they have…More »

I'm having some issues with my java devices today. My stove top percolator is being finicky and my cheap cup-a-time machine is on the fritz. Perhaps a visit to Java Blend will set me down the straight and narrow.

At home, their beans are my number one…More »

Local Source is a great place to get all of your Farmers' Market goodies when it's not Saturday morning. It's so nice to have a spot that serves as a baby-grocery store, offering great local produce and delightful items, like cheeses from Nova Scotia…More »

Planet Organic and I have a mixed feelings relationship.

I love the helpful and passionate community of employees and the vibes of this little market style grocery store, but I loathe the super inflated prices and the corporate chain…More »

If you are ever in need of a special bottle, I advise a visit to Premier Wine and Spirits. This shop carries a large assortment of wine and has quite a few varieties that you won't find at the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission.

The employees are helpful…More »

I took a quick, albeit fairly focused detour today into the Mini Mart. I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised as I had no idea this little Indian grocer excited! Yay discoveries!

They have some of of the same goodies that you can find at the…More »

This little take-away spot is a perfect edition to the Jane's empire. You can pop in on sunny day and grab yourself a sammy, then head to the Commons for a picnic.

If you're in need of some well-crafted food to nourish your weary soul, I highly…More »

Taishan is a great specialty Chinese grocery store, with multiple locations to serve you throughout this fair city.

When I was learning Mandarin, I felt very inclined to go into this shop to test out my skills. I never quite got the hang of the…More »
