I guess I didn't look very hard! My girlfriend was the one who informed me that this was actually a salad bar place ! Yey! There is 2 rather large steel tables, the one on the far left side has the fresh fruit assortment. To the right, is a selection of greens, and other veggies. There are also some grain based salads and pasta items. The other table has some chickpeas and more veggies, cheese, tofu, tuna, turkey, assorted nuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and of course - dressings. The salad bar goes by weight. They have a few different sized clear plastic containers you use, and fill up as you see fit. A large container filled up comes to around the $10 mark - give or take. The produce is fresh, and the staff seems fairly friendly. They also sell pop and juice in a cooler you also help yourself to if you so desire. I always take mine to go as I live just upstairs in the building, but they do have a seating area if you wish to eat there. I don't think it seats too many, but it's never super busy. So, if your downtown, want something healthy, fresh, fast and not overly pricey, this is a place you really should check out!

At a $1.49/100 grams to choose your own fruit/veggie/other stuff options, is pretty reasonable to me, esp when you eat as much junk food & going out in general, so it's great for the bachelors too lol. Usually at these places i'm wary of flies flying around, but pretty clean here. Some window action here, seating along the sides. You can also buy some fruit here too, of course. Limited street meter parking but at least there's no rush hour restrictions. If you dare, go park in the loading zone right by the alley ;)

I like this Kin's market quite a lot. There's others that I've gone to which I do not recommend…read more This one however has always been good to me. Obviously the prices are a little bit less than the grocery stores, although that gap seems to be closing. Today I got Roma tomatoes for $.99 a pound which I haven't seen in a long time. The produce always looks good compared to other small groceries. I don't really expect a lot from staff in such places other than keeping it clean and doing a accurate bill at the end, so there's not much for me to say in that regard. I do hope these places keep going during this time of inflation because it is getting very difficult to stock up on anything fresh these days.

It was my first time to try juices from Trish Juice. My family and I had the juices at a Yelp event…read morethis evening. All of us loved the juices!! The juice was fresh and filled with fruits or berries. We felt quite healthy when drinking it. We also got to try their protein bites.

Their restaurant is not too big so wouldn't recommend it for a big group. My friend and I both got their crispy chicken crepe - hers was tapioca (gluten free) and mine was traditional crepe. Both were soo good! The tapioca one had a different texture - it was a bit more chewy. Not a bad option if you are gluten free! We also got their nutellacino which was basically a nutella cappuccino! It was definitely as good as it tasted. Their menu was a lot different than the last time I came here (around 3 yrs ago) and I really liked all the new items they introduced. I would definitely consider this place again when I'm looking for a good brunch spot! Also their service was really fast! And they had a coat rack too :)

Used to really like this grocery store - they don't have a big selection of obscure/specialty foods…read morebut they carry all of the necessities and the options are still pretty good given the relatively small area. The ready-to-eat meals and bakery are both good but not great, but worth it for the price. The bakery desserts always look exciting, but the execution is sometimes underwhelming - the cakes are too sweet for me. I have always gotten excellent bread from the bakery though. Staff is mostly pretty nice. Occasionally I've met employees who seem unhappy to be having to deal with me, but those are a minority. I say I "used to" like Nester's because today I came here to grab a quick dinner, and as I was leaving, a mouse ran out from underneath the condiments/trash counter in the eating area, running right into my foot before scurrying out of sight again. Seeing that this is apparently an ongoing issue, I think I'll be avoiding this store for a while. Have to leave just 1 star even though I do still like their food because I cannot recommend a store with a rodent problem in good conscience.

Another pro is the clienteles don't "poke" at the produce here as much. Which makes it allot more enjoyable shopping here. Due to location and focused clientele, yes the prices are at a premium. However, considering when in comparison to real estate, we are lucky to have so many grocery stores for fresh fruits and vegetables at a competitive price compare to other premier cities. If this corner of DT Yaletown is in comparison to Upper East Side in Manhattan. The pricing is about right. Street parking is available, this market is on one of the best bike lanes in DT Vancouver. Cons. If it really is one. The aisle is narrow like any ethnic grocery stores or like the new layout at Urban Fare Yale town. "Narrow". jokes.

I've driven by this market many a time and since I'm crazy about vegetables and have a salad every…read moreday for lunch, I've been meaning to check out this place for a long time. They have an outdoor market stand with beautiful, colorful vegetables on display (and pretty flowers, too), and it's always caught my eye. So I finally visited here the other day when I was walking about the 'hood. There are quite a few positive features about this place, but some negatives, too. Hence the average, 3-star rating. First the positives: they have a decent selection of fresh, organic produce. The place is clean and well stocked. Inside, they have packaged meals and slices of cakes, and quite a few cheeses. There are shelves in the back containing most pantry staples, so in a pinch, you could probably find the basics here - and more. And the items that were on "special" or sale had prices comparable to my No Frills, so that was good to see. The downside: those items that were not on sale were exorbitantly priced. I'd say on average, prices are higher than at Urban Fare. Perhaps on a par with Whole Foods. And the set-up at the cash was a cluster**** when I was there, with three of us customers at the counter and the cashier trying to juggle us all simultaneously (which was really odd). Whatever system they have for ringing out, it wasn't working when I was there. Luckily, none of us was impatient or had anger management issues (with another group, it could've turned out much differently. We three all kinda looked at each other and just shrugged our shoulders). I guess if I lived nearby, I'd pop in here occasionally to see what produce was on sale, but due to the prices, this wouldn't be my go-to place for regular shopping.
