This is the second location for City Cottage Market which opened recently at Kingston and Birchmount area. I think this store fits really well in this strip of shops as it carries local product as well as specialty products I've seen online but never in store before. I think it designed really well. They have a small cafe area where you can have a beverage or coffee on the patio or at the tables in the restaurant. My one wish is that the markup was not so high on some of the items. The Momofuku items for example appeared to be marked up by $10 which does not incline me to buy them from this shop. The markup on items is the reason I took 1 star off the review.

City Cottage Market has a nice little cafe with great coffee, pastries and sandwiches. They sell a variety of coffee beans to go (ie Pilot, DeMello and Detour). Among other market fare, they also sell sandwiches, salads, honeys, jams, fresh bread (from Blackbird & Co.), frozen prepared foods, wine & spirits.

Such a gem! If you love to support local businesses you def have to come here, they carry so many different items from other Toronto businesses. Especially happy to be able to get some De Mello coffee in the area

This cafe/market is exceptional for a number of reasons. Firstly they have such a warm, friendly, efficient and welcoming staff. They have a phenomenal assortment of local products which allows you to support the community while getting a well-prepared coffee and tasty treat. Lastly, the aesthetics of the cafe show taste, care and attention to detail. It's vibrant, it's warm and it's the best place to spend your morning. As a bonus, the owner is an insanely talented visual artist so you get to appreciate high quality art while your there. Very rare to see a cafe this good.

I’m so happy we have a spot like this in the neighbourhood! Multipurpose and good gathering spot, I have visited here many times. Their patio is also nice on sunny days. Grocery items tend to be on the pricier end, but that’s to be expected.
