It's a chill vibe and vendors are friendly and don't try to push you to purchase anything. Prices are higher than your local supermarket but I don't mind paying more for quality goods while supporting local. A lot of the booths offered samples and we tried: non-dairy dips, bacon bits, peach & melon, berry wines, pumpkin wine, raspberry gin. We were able to find everything we needed for our bbq including organic produce, meat seasoning, perogies, vegan crackers with dip, wine and beer.

They have cheese vendors, produce, eggs, meat, coffee, mushroom vendors, garlic vendors, bread, everything you need for cooking a slammin' local meal! A little disappointing that there aren't many jewelry, soap, or art vendors as I always like looking at these as well. Perhaps its because the footprint of this market is a bit small. Today I loaded up on some fresh garlic, sausages from Stapleton (my fave!), and buffalo feta cheese. I enjoy that there's a rotation of local food vendors though, as I've seen different ones there which makes it exciting to check out every once in a while so you'll get to support other local vendors too!

After purchasing some lovely looking organic zucchini's and onions, I wandered over to a gentleman who refers to himself as the 'Bean Boy', creator of several types of flavoured hummus.

I purchased a container of spicy black bean hummus and made my way to Bad Girl Chocolates, who, with her handmade confections and pretty packaging has created a truly unique product...oh and very yummy! There were fish-mongers (Fresh Off The Boat is the name of the company) as well as baked goods, fresh honey and quite a few different local organic produce vendors, selling many varieties of fab fruits and veggies as well as the seasonal gourds! I finished off my shopping with a trip to GoGo Java for a Rice Dream iced soy latte...the best I've had almost anywhere...! Support the locals!

Fresh food, good prices, excellent selection, and great service -- I'm always happy with my experience here and will definitely keep coming back. In fact this is even my favourite Kins Market!

It was some of the sweetest corn I've ever tasted. Compared to the nearby Extra Foods, Kin's has a much larger selection and you can tell they put a lot more care into their produce from the way they are carefully stacked. The quality tends to be better too. Prices are a little steeper here, but most of the time it's worth it. Last time I was here I bought figs, blueberries, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and basil. I also love that they label where the produce comes from. I try to buy local when I can to support BC farmers. Having moved to California, it just seems wrong to buy produce from Cali when I'm back home in Vancouver. (Though it also seems wrong that local strawberries were more than twice the price of California strawberries...)

From Herban Farm in Pike Place, I got their Pike Place Herbs. When I was in Budapest, I went to the Great Market Hall and got two paprika tins and a taco seasoning blend from the spice shop there. So while doing a lap around Granville Island Public Market and seeing a spice stall with a huge variety of salts and spices, I had to stop by. And I had to restrain myself given how much bag space I had left. Jean-Pierre Coté will warmly greet you as you approach, giving you a rundown of what he has. All of the salts and spice blends are handmade, and the packaging is top notch, featuring the ingredients, a tasting note, and then recommendations on what to cook. They all come in a variety of sizes, from the small 28 gram tins, 50 gram sqaures, to 100 gram bags, 250 gram bags. It will take you some time to consider what you want, and I highly recommend you keep talking with Jean-Pierre about his selection. I was looking for blends I couldn't get anywhere else, and the ones he pointed out were: Turmeric saffron sea salt - hard to miss the bright yellow salt, which he points out you should add a pinch to your rice to really bring out a nice, Mediterranean flavor. I've done so, and it really does change up the flavor profile. English Garden salt seasoning - you most likely will pick up this mix of pink and purples and wonder what is in there. You really need to read this fascinating mix of ingredients featuring vanilla, potatoes, blueberries and a whole lot more, which he points out is amazing on everything from salads to tempura! Egyptian Style Seasoning - This spice blend really stole the show for me. I'm a big fan of cumin, but the hazelnut, coriander, mint and more really stands out. I was so exited by this once I made it home I found a great instant pot recipe for Egyptian lamb stew and I used this as the seasoning. WOW! I was eating it for 3 days (it was a big recipe), but the flavors did not disappoint. If you live in Vancouver or just visiting and love food, or know someone who does, I cannot recommend Maison Cote enough. You are sure to wow yourself or a loved one with one of his blends.

Uncle Jack gave us the rest of the fresh blubes that he had at the bottom of his boxes for free. (Easily a couple of pints worth!) He's just as sweet as his August harvest blueberries! :)

And if you're in the mood to munch on something while browsing their wares, a coupla food carts are on site to help fight the hunger (The Juice Caboose and Didi's Greek are among the rotating cast).
