Toronto Tuck Shops

Not all variety stores are created equal. Let's do a rundown, shall we?

1. St Patrick Grocery & Variety - CLOSED

244 Queen Street W
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z7
Canada
(416) 598-2436

Categories: Grocery, Convenience Stores

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core

3/26/2009

If you're at the corner of Queen & John and need to buy anything quick or random, you'll find it either at St. Pat's or Gardenview. Gardenview tends to be more expensive but you wouldn't know that by general comparison because nothing in St. Pat's…More »

2. Good Catch

Toronto, ON M6R 1A6
Canada
(416) 533-4664

Categories: Hobby Shops, Personal Shopping

Neighbourhood: Parkdale

7/29/2009

There should be a category called "HAVEN OF FUN", because surely Good Catch would surely dominate it. Think "It Store" meets "Tuck Shop" meets "Big Carrot" and you'll have scratched the surface of what's inside at Good Catch. In fact, it might more…More »

3. Daily Food Convenience

1348 Queen St E
Toronto, ON M4L 1C5
Canada

Category: Convenience Stores

Neighbourhood: Leslieville

8/23/2009 First to Review

I'd happily bump this tuck shop up to three stars if the smell of napthalene didn't nearly give me whiplash moments after entering the store. Seriously: are that many mothballs necessary? It's a noxious odour.

Having said that, this place has pretty…More »

Update - 4/29/2010

I'm thrilled. Like, beyond thrilled! Greenwood Variety has finally caught up to the 21st century and started stocking a larger variety of energy drinks, including my deeply-loved-but-doesn't-reall y-deserve-my-business-as-they-…More »

Toronto, ON M5V 1Z8
Canada
(416) 593-2560

Category: Convenience Stores

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core

3/23/2009

Gardenview belongs in the "enhanced" convenience store category with Rabba and 7-11 - maybe a super convenience store? Essentially there is a LOT of selection and because it's open all night, there is always a random assortment of characters in the…More »

Canada
(416) 623-0660

8/23/2009

Great little tuck shop (that actually fits the definition of the term 'tuck shop' - which means 'store at the base of an apartment building or condo) in the Cityplace complex of condos. This was one of the first places in the city to offer Vitamin…More »

I may later regret sharing this info, but they reliably sell TTC metropasses here, even several days into the new month after other nearby stores have been sold out. They accept debit too, which is convenient when you're dropping $120 on a month's…More »

This is one of only two places in Toronto that I've seen carrying the elusive TTC token holder, and here it's only $1.50+ tax (it's $4 at the other place). It also comes in green, black, orange and yellow (it's blue at the other place). Sweet deal!
