I was recently at STACKT Market to visit Las Muns. I drove from work in Mississauga on a Wednesday afternoon. Parking spots are limited at this market. I recommend parking on a side street. There's also paid parking across the street at Farm Boy's underground lot. Las Muns sells handmade empanadas. I loved this store. The empanadas were delicious. There were lots of flavours to choose from. There were a couple of vegan options, too. Most businesses run out of shipping container storefronts. It's cool design-wise. The downside of visiting during a weekday is that not all businesses are open. I'd estimate that at least half the businesses weren't available for me to peruse. As an example, Dayday Film is a camera store. I like looking at digital cameras from decades past. This place refurbishes older cameras and supports photography through them. Sadly, I couldn't visit this place, as it's only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. There's an open patio space that looked cute. I can see this space being popular when it's warmer outside. The lanterns and the Tiny Tom Donuts stand made me happy. There were heaters in this area. Maybe there are winter activities that happen here, but it didn't look like it with snow on the picnic tables. There was also a nicely decorated piano with snow on it. I see it being a nice place to hang out in the summertime. There are places to grab a snack or a drink. If you're looking for a dine-in restaurant, the only one that I saw was Sundays Pasta Lab. It was open when I was there. It's closed on Mondays. I'm glad that I finally got to check this space out. Normally, I drive past it to see a concert or a hockey game. It was a nice change. (103)

No one else was inside when I got there, but after I ordered and left I realized a line of 3-4 people had formed behind me! Seems like a popular place for sure. I was hoping to sit down and try some of the stuff I got inside, but from what I could tell there was no (or very limited) indoor seating. The service was wonderful, the focaccia was actually a recommendation from the staff and I'm so glad I tried it! Potato and rosemary focaccia - my favourite! This thing was steaming and it smelt so good. I had it while warm, and the bread was so soft but also springy. The potatoes were seasoned well. It was much larger than I expected and there are a lot of potatoes, so I can see this being around 2-4 servings! Butter tart - extremely sweet, exactly what you expect from a butter tart. However, the shell and sprinkle of flaky salt set it apart from other ones I've tried. I can see why everyone comes here for it, but this dessert itself is not my favourite. I had it fresh but bought extra to keep in the fridge. It reheats nicely in the air fryer. Pear and brie galette - not super great. It didn't seem as fresh as the other two, the pastry was kind of dry and dense. Not a lot of pear flavour came through, and the brie was also flat and dry. I had it within an hour of purchase without reheating, maybe a few minutes in the oven would've made a difference.

There's a mix of genuine vintage (in varying states of wearability--I saw a few broken zippers and torn sleeves) and stage costumes, but the selection is absolutely incredible and the prices are on par with what you'd see in Kensington Market. The best part is the incredible size range--there are tons of clothes in double-digit sizes. Sizes aren't marked, though some dresses have masking tape labels with bust and waist measurements. Well worth a visit.
