Complete with locally-made goods, sustainable beauty products and delicious snacks, this new 17th Ave spot will totally change the way you think about convenience stores. Not only can you grab classic on-the-go items such as flavoured nuts or chocolate bars, but you can find pantry items like hot sauce, honey and coffee beans from local brands such as Drizzle or Monogram.

Bread Culture 

If quarantine has taught us anything, it’s that we all really love bread. Bread Culture is an artisan bakery that opened early last summer on 14th Street, just north of 17th Ave, and offers a delectable selection of hard-type bread such as French baguettes and Ciabatta, as well as an assortment of Viennoiserie, all of which follow the traditional French method of using 84% butter. You can also pair these buttery baked goods with an espresso or latte from local favourite coffee provider, Monogram coffee.
