Lots of great shops and lots of bargains. I like to buy organic stuff at Essence of Life on Kensington Avenue. My favourite cheese shop is Cheese Magic. Read Full Review

Kensington is a a great little area in Toronto. Originally set up because of the large amounts of immigrants in the area it has become the urban hipster center in the city. The market has much less expensive groceries than most other places in the city. Global Cheese has a huge variety of cheese, helpful staff and you can sample as many as you please. The My Market Bakery has freshly made baked goods including the best Montreal Style Bagels. There are also tons of vintage and hip clothing stores Read Full Review

Fish Shak has moved but there's still lots of other stuff to love in the market. Like the shop at the northeast corner of Nassau and Augusta that sells organic greens and fruit. Also Essence of Live is a great place to buy healthy stuff.

Lots of used clothing stores pepper Kengington Ave but they all seem to see the same old crap. It's fun to look in though.

Alchemy Bakery at Augusta and Oxford sells great bread and shortbread cookies, and the owner Brian is a great guy. Read Full Review
