I loved finding things here I'd never seen before - like baked goods and vegan products that were new to me. Service was great and I was asked if I was a senior - which I am - and that saved me some money. I will definitely go here again. If you're on the hop on hop off bus the stop is almost right in front of this place.

First time to this store or chain, but as it was recommended place to shop (by my friend who has…read morechecked out several shopping options & others I'm cat sitting for), I figured why not check it out. i just needed a few basics for finishing up my supper plans after all. I was happy with the amount of selection throughout the store. There's lots of premade/quick to add to meal options in the first aisle as you walk by the sandwich prep area. As I did arrive within the last hour they were open, I didn't do a full exploring kind of shop. I had a mission & didn't want to overstay. However, what I did notice is that things seem well stocked, with recognizable labels for both conventional & organic items. I found what I wanted & a bit more (hurray for eggnog still being available after New Year's Day!). At the till, I left thinking prices seemed about the same as the other 2 market/grocery stores I've stopped at. This one was just much more manageable for me to shop. I really enjoyed the fact that it is small enough that I'm not using all my energy to reach the dairy/fridge aisle. I didn't see any aisle description signs but then again, as this is a smaller store there isn't a giant long section & you can see things a lot easier from either end. Store seemed clean & accessibility wise was decent for width of aisles, entrance/exit. The line-up area/ access space around the tills would be easy to navigate for any mobility aid. Important to note, there's minimal street parking available. Definitely one can describe this market as a neighbourhood market & best to walk there, bike, bus or be dropped off. I also have to note it was a nice surprise to see the person stocking the store was able to help manage the line growing at check out. That's rarely the case in bigger stores to have a till open up. The only reason I'll give a 4 star is that the person stocking throughout the store passed me several times while I was shopping. Yet, never asked if I needed help or if there was anything in particular I'm looking for. I found things well enough by myself but that kind of struck me as odd. It was also weird for what seemed to be a community store, not to have a welcoming vibe from him or any of the staff throughout my shopping time/check-out. Overall, decent place to grab groceries or find some prepared items to make your meal prep easier.

Ever. And everything there is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free. My favorites were the dark choc sea salt caramels and the maple dark chocolates. Their soft serve is to die for. It is gluten-free and dairy free and I havent been able to have soft serve in about 20 years. They were able to put dark chocolate topping on it that hardened into a nice shell and it was served in a gluten-free waffle cone that was to die for. Georgina helped us and had incredible customer service. It could not have been better. She was happy to help, was super knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure I found something I loved without making me feel pressured at all. The store is kept really nice and it feels good to be in there since organized nicely, and not overcrowded Be sure to go here. You will love it and want to return!! I am excited for you

I do love some pure chocolate, so Pure Lovin' Chocolate was a no brainer spot to check out while…read morewalking around downtown Victoria. This chocolate shop has some tasty treats that any chocoholic will enjoy. Pure Lovin' Chocolate is a small chocolate shop, which sells chocolatey goods. From candy bars, chocolate-covered snacks, to truffles in the display case and even soft serve with a hot fudge topping, it was tempting to not get several different items when we visited. Somehow, I resisted the urge to get everything I eyed, but only tried two different truffles - the dark chocolate and earl grey. Both of the truffles were solid, with a soft chocolate filling and hard shell. I love earl grey anything, so was especially glad to find and try the earl grey truffle. I recommend anyone wanting to satisfy their chocolate fix in Victoria to check out Pure Lovin' Chocolate.

I then said to the Service Rep that I would prefer to make an appointment, rather thsn just drop in. Petra told the Service Rep that she would be available at 3pm tge next day to call me.
