Independent bakery. Extremely popular and for good reason. Sensational brioches, cinammon buns, but also breads like Kamut, which aren't readily available in the traditional French boulangeries.

An amazing local farmer's market open year-round, but is at its peak in the summer months. Fresh local produce (and some imported...we can't grow bananas and avocados in Canada) as well as beloved iconic maple products can be found here. On the perimeter of the market is a square of shops, cafés and restaurants. You could spend a big chunk of your day here, and the rest of it exploring the surrounding Little Italy neighborhood.
