I love this vibrant market !

Jeff Cochrane

Good selection. Parking can be tricky when it's busy. Cafe has some good treats but some may say it's a bit overpriced. Nice seating area and view upstairs.

Mark Weinberg

Great market. Prices are a bit high for some things. Great treats amd coffee. Nice atmosphere.

Adel Z

Great place for vegetable shopping. Must try the Greek delights "loukoumi", and other Greek imports. Nice coffee experience with the harbour view.

Addie Burkam

Great place for treats, drinks and lunches. Also a good variety of pantry items, produce and spices! I’d recommend the mocha it’s delicious!

Kyle Simon

Great place! The veggies and fruit are top notch. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere and vibe is great. Lots of fresh meat, sausage, and meals and cookies. You can grab a coffee and a table or get it to go. …

Ryan Sweeney

Overall I enjoy it, the baked goods are great, but they use a microwave to reheat meals, and sometimes a microwave drys out and hardens up the food. Good selection overall!

Victoria Shulga

One of my favorite spots for wonderful coffee, desserts and view!

Marissa Yeadon

Great place but it was a little bit to crowded for vivid times last time I was there

Zuleika Chan

Let me give you the details of my review. We arrived for the brunch buffet today, November 3rd at 11am; the time I booked my reservation for, we were a table of 7, 6 adults and 1 child. It was a celebration brunch for my dad, uncle and …

Randy O'Shea

Overpriced, I think there trying to pay for the New digs.

Sandy Walsh

Nice place for a chat. Didn't feel good bringing my laptop to work. Good food options.

Mark Avery-Reinhoudt

Delicious French toast daily after 9am. Basin Cafe still has enough parking spaces early morning. Took about ten minutes to arrive but definitely worth the wait.

Jamie Harrell

My go-to location for fruit and veg. It feels good to support the area farmers, and my wallet appreciates the value I get here. They've expanded within the last year or so to include baked products, a meat counter, local craft items, and …

CAROLL

1st time in there I spotted a beautiful REAL expresso machine! so pleased to have this in my neighborhood???? great staff. a treat to see they also provide outdoor seating with a harbour view. …

A nice atmosphere and their chai is especially good.

scott hope

Wow, very nice venue. While attending a wedding on the second floor. We had an opportunity to indulge in the basin view cafes dessert bar. Well we walked away with one of almost everything. The chocolate mousse cake was great. Chocolate cheesecake was over the moon.

Michael Frenette

Love this place. Try the Greek oranges. Yum! Or fresh local produce. Or have a Latte and sit on the upper floor gazing out at the ships in Bedford Basin or the harbour bridges. Very well done!

David Macdonald

Great Market with a lot of variety. Enjoyed a great lunch. Lots to choose from and some pretty decadent homemade desserts!

Great food in both the restaurant and the market!Crazy good. Banquet room is beautiful, having my wedding there soon. Erica is great to deal with!

Sue Richard

A lovely location inside, nicely set up to meet with a few friends, grab a coffee and a snack and sit upstairs! The view of the bridge is lovely and on a hot day you can sit outside on the bay side. The only issue I have is getting in and …

Carolyn Tomkins

Awesome selection of Canadian and international foods. Definitely stop in on your way through.

Kevin Wood

Absolutely love coming here for freshly baked goods. One of the best Cherry Pies I have ever had!

Lina Arafeh

I love the place, the energy, the staff, the owners, the ocean view, the available parking, and best of all, the amazing ice cream ;)

Jeremy Godfrey

great place to visit

Zaher Ktit

The desserts offered in the café are either a joke or a fraud! The tiramisu tastes nothing like tiramisu and actually you can't identify the ingredients, the white part tastes like cold water with sugar and corn starch, the …

Moath Basil

good coffee; way better than the usual. Seating area is good, but food was a disaster, the worst omelette in the world , the majority of food was not fresh ... I am disappointed and not planning to return here again. This might be the worst breakfast meal I had in the past 15 years.

Brian Crocker

Great place. Produce can seem a bit long in the tooth some times, but the like cafes and dessert places are great and a robust selection of ethnic food and cooking options.

Rob G

Wonderful market with a nice cafe and a beautiful sitting area overlooking the Bedford Basin. Free WiFi - it's a great spot for a casual meeting or to do some work on a laptop.

Taylor Gear

Great little market with a cafe and great variety of spices, baked goods, local products and produce, as well as some international foods. The cakes at the cafe are to die for

Kristi Balite

Great local products! The bakery and other treats in store are tasty! Love the cozy atmosphere in here too! ????

Ryan Brownell

This is a very nice little european market. There are a number of imported products available here in addition to the locally sourced products. It also houses a very nice cafe with spectacular views of the Bedford Basin.

Jeremiah David

One the best places to meet, work or just relax. The people are fantasia and the fod unbelievable good. Outstanding

Mary Hansen

Beautiful spot with tons of variety. Love that they have later hours too.

P C

Bring lots of money. The place ain't cheap. Love the selection of goods though.

Shell and Meg Shute

Went to the Sunday brunch buffet and the food was good but the service was not. Friendly service and eye contact goes a long way. Also server was on their phone while she waited for us to pay our bill.

L Olmstead

They have an amazing view and a very comfortable space. Their coffee is awesome and the pastry here is unbelievable. We often go to this butcher when we're going to BBQ. He's passionate about his work. They have amazing homemade bread and good prices on produce.

Tanya Diana Rose

This is such a cute shop and restaurant. I love sitting upstairs with a freshly brewed coffee overlooking the water :)

Cheryl Anne

I love their sunflower solar panel outside the building (really caught my attention!). They have a variety of fruits and veggies which are from the local farmers and has a pastry area too for sweet toothed customers.

Brandy Dowdall

Absolutely love Bedford Farmers Market and The Basin Cafe. Delicious coffee, great lunches, brunches and baked goods. Lots of parking ...but best of all they stock many spices and pantry items I like to have for home!

DON RAY

Beautiful place to shop for fresh veggies & fruit. Also a great place to eat. Great freshly cooked meals and fabulous deserts. Nice relaxing area to dine.

Priscilla Lee

Beautiful view and hands down one of the best study spots! There are comfy couches in the loft area with lots of space! Definitely gives a homey vibe

Bob Power

Nice market store. Great place to go for a coffee and eats. Upstairs lounge with lots of room and good views.

John Forward

Great products. Great prices. Polite helpful staff. A wonder to visit.

candace gregory

Butcher is great, so is the cafe.

Dan Brennan

This is a small local business that sells fresh meats and veggies at lower prices than the big retailers. Selection is limited, but the hometown market feel and discounted prices makes it worth the trip. I buy my canned goods at the big retailer and fresh veggies at this place. It's worth a trip out of your way.

Matthew Berry

Good breakfast but could use better customer service

Brad MacLeod

Great spot for shopping (veggies, butcher, olive oil) but also a coffee shop with great seating up and down.

Justin Schaible

Excellent selection of meats, produce, European goods and spice. A great place to stop if you are looking for just a few things or groceries for the week.

Andrew Pepper

Great food at a reasonable price.

Joleen Frost

I bought a few peanuts and nuts from the bulk section where the glass jars held different nuts. Everything tasted stale and old.

Stéphanie Rouleau (Rourou)

The diagonal parking is a bit of a pain. Nice layout, great variety of local products, but a bit overpriced. There were some items brought from US, that I could have picked up at Sobeys for less...The cafe is great, and the desserts are …

Crystal

That's the best bacon I've had in my entire life!!

Sara Miller

Bought peaches and plums that were already bad. Watermelon and sourdough bread were great. Lots of different stuff on offer including a massive variety of herbs and spices. Not sure if I'd buy produce here again.

Sanela Moraca

How fantastic is this place! they have such fresh produce and desserts transport you to Greece! Yum!

Gulfam Haqnawaz

Just awesome, a great collection of European ???????? products especially from Greece ????????. Fresh produce and variety of food items. Staff is very friendly and cooperative, especially Dimitri went out of the way to help us. beautiful, clean and well organized place with a cafe and foos choices. absolutely loved it.

Sharon Hallam

Great locally owned market. Terrific variety...clean. Staff are most helpful. Great place to have a coffee or lunch with a friend. This market specializes in hard to find ingredients and imports the Greek oranges ???? that once you taste you will never want any others. One of my favorite places.

Stephen Birss

This is a lovely place in a really nice location, especially on a sunny day. The cafe overlooks the basin with a great view from the balcony, though it's intense if it's bright out. Good coffee and the cappucino not too frothy. The market itself seems like a good place to get your groceries.

Thiago Andrade

They have been improving the variety of ethnic products and even local options. I started buying apples here. Their pies are delicious and there are some really good pasta and spice delicacies. It's still a bit on the premium side of price but quality pays itself off. Don't forget the cafe and one of the best brunches I know.

Zsuzsanna Gáspár

Great food, coffee, pastries. The patio is amazing. The parking is a bit tricky on the weekend.

Valerie

For cafe section: Nice spot. Pastitsio was delicious, but needed to be warmed up more. Friendly service.

Dax Mansfield

The food was delicious, the service was good. I like that the venue is nice and bright and will lit. I however wish that had more non alcoholic beverage options for the buffet.

Leo Lee

Elegant and regal interior. Food and drinks are usually really good. The "beef" pie is really strange. First it tastes like chicken. It turns out to be the last slice of chicken pie from the day before. Then the second "beef" pie they give …

Ian Shepherd

People need to visit here and see what they have, lovely food and the biggest selection and of herbs and spices I have ever seen

Carla

Best new addition to our area. Keeps evolving and adding. Great for coffee and a treat, lunch and groceries. Beautiful space overlooks Basin.

Kim Salter

Great place for fresh produce and delicious baked goods. You can also enjoy a harbour view from inside or out while feasting on spanakopita and baklava or any of their menu delights. Stop for some garden greenery next door too.

hugh savoie

The sandwich was a tiny, underwhelming and dry disappointment. The Americano although not dry , was just as disappointing. Now, if the coffee and sandwich was priced cheaply, then i would have no beef. But for the prices they charge for counter service it's not good. I will give it another try as anyone can have an off day.

Marylynn Shute

Went there fir oranges but they got some much good food. Everything is big and fresh. The service there is really helpful and kind. I will be going back there soon. It is a must visit to believe

Tom Hopkin

Friendly staff, good local selection of vegetables, fruit, baked goods and preserves. Has a great coffee ccounter. The butcher is on site and a nice guy.

Sara Hollett

Absolutely no effort to put tables 6 feet apart, chairs back-to-back everywhere. Plus, staff are very unfriendly!

Zainab Al-Habibi

Good variety of food but beverages are not always well made, coffee is very acidic. The prices are in the middle, not expensive or cheap.This place can be very noisy and busy sometimes but it is suitable for studying. It is environment friendly and have waste free options.

Daniel “True902Scotian” Forsyth

There's too many great things to say about this place.

Akinniyi Osho (The Investing mindset)

I really enjoyed coming to the Center. I was introduced by my Airbnb host Loved it!!

okjo kim

Great view with fresh vegetables and organic products.

Every Thing

Beautiful Location to eat and dine out. Lot of fresh food and local ingredients available, excellent parking facility with limit of 2 hours per vehicle. Irving gas station is just 10 meters from farmers market. Transit bus no 8 and 90 …

JoJo Chou

Great service great food, love it!

Owen Greenberg

Great, inexpensive produce and other grocery products. Prepared food and treats from the cafe are very pricy but good. Surprisingly good atmosphere considering its location next to a railroad and highway.

Ken Steffens

Was nice. Selection is very limited.

Kip Grasse

Great deli, sweets and food. Gourmet supplies too. And it is a nice place to sit and watch the water

Shannon Richardson

Amazing spices to chose from! A bit lacking as a whole but It was mid week. Weekends are probably better with more vendors.

Amanda Collins

Great farmers market with unique, high quality ingredients that can't be found at just any store. Love all of their bakery items, including breads. I'm a huge fan of their coffee bar. Delicious lattes! Staff have told me all baked goods sold are made in house.

Greg Drummond

Excellent pastries, coffee, and meal options. Combine that with a great view of the Basin and you have a great place for a date.

AC. Zak

So pretty and calming here. The view is nice. It's clean and the sandwich was delicious

George Roberts

Great place to go to eat. Situated near the water you have the experience of dining rather than lunch at a lunch bar. Paulo the butcher has a wonderful selection of resonably priced hot dishes. All meals are served on China plates with stainless steel cutlery. He is also a master butcher who deslays his skills in meat cuts and homemade sausage. The selection of market product (mostly from Greece) tempts you to pic haze at every turn.

carol Reed

Love going to this market and l wish l had had more time. I did however get some lovely sweet baking trays that are wrapped up ready to deliver to a couple of places as treats. Works for me as time is at a premium these days.

Tilina Barkhouse-Asprey

Used to love shopping here, but recently the quality has seen a huge decline and prices have gotten very high.

Marilyn Mullin

Always enjoy taking old friends to Bedford Basin Farmers Market. It is the best thing that has happened to Birch Cove, our neighborhood! ????

Frederick Barton

What can I say, good location, amazing coffee, tasty treats...Perfect place to have a coffee and a treat, read your book, or simply chat with your buddies. Oh, and you can buy your groceries here as well. Very good selection of things you don't find at your local Sobeys/Superstore.

Vaishnavi Sanalkumar

The place had fine things to buy. I went there yesterday at 6pm just to check it out for the first time and then bought few veggies then waited for the cashier and a man in his 60's showed up, I payed by cash then when he did not give me …

Christine Flemming

It's close to where I now live and a friend and I have been going regularly since July.

NiceWishes

I enjoy eating their desserts and drinking coffee on the second floor because of the view and plenty of space! I love their chicken noodle soup and parmesan chicken. I really like their double chocolate loaf and their clementines! Their cashier Maria is really nice and friendly!

Morley Ward

A very nice farmers market. The fig I had was delicious and so were the fresh strawberries.

Derrick Funk

Great pricing on spices, very good bread... staff as always ... impeccable

Sam Weir

Fresh produce. Reasonable prices. Good service.

Paul Neals

Good Food! Great Coffee! Great place to meet with friends for coffee and a Snack! Meals ready to eat, or take home and cook Later! Fresh vegetables and fruits

Amy Campbell

Best blueberry pie I ever had

Catheryn Dexter

Love going to this market! Very good baked goods. Best oranges around. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Only thing they don't have are waffle cones for their ice cream.

Carol-Anne C

Beautiful view, a good assortment of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Sorry I grabbed a roast beef sandwich, it was pretty lackluster with absolutely no flavour. You would think with a bounty of veggies at your disposal you could incorporate into making an outstanding sandwich with a little pizazz.

Hussain Sayed

So much variety from all around the world. My go to place to find spices and more obscure things.

Elaine

Excellent variety of ethnic and local products and produce. Not a cheap place to shop but a unique one. Also have tempting lunch fare.

C F

This is not a "Farmer's Market". This is a store that specializes in imported Greek food grocery items, produce, and houses a somewhat upscale cafe.

Tracey Whyte

Wow! If you haven't visited this market lately, take a drive. Sooooo nice. Brand new and it even has a cafe/restaurant now. Parking is tricky, but definitely worth it.

Jamie Redden

Was the worst place i ve been to so far on my vacation

Reid Palmer

Small, cute father's market/garden center with a mix of fresh veg and packaged "commercial" product. A wide range of domestic and international flavours means that you can experience a lot from one location. Large dried herbs selection was a plus for me.

Michelynne Gomez

Like others have said, great atmosphere, location and food is decent. They had a promo on at the beginning of summer for their soft serve ice cream, kids under 12 free. Recently we dropped in and I thought it would be nice to get the kids …

Susan Gille

A fun place to shop but a little out of my way for a weekly visit.... wish there was something closer to home

Myra Geddes

This market has so much going for it.. Great meats and decadent bakery products. Nice atmosphere and an outdoor seating area with a spectacular view of the basin …

Al Hogan

Great variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and meat also great to have lunch and relax looking out over the water.

BL Smith

Lovely space to meet for coffee. Nice selection of coffees and treats. Looks like there is also a good selection of lunch food too. The upstairs seating area is bright and has lovely water view. And there is a small deck for sitting …

J.P. Cyrus

Beautiful selection of Mediterranean foods, fresh fruits, vegetables and meats. Some products have very high prices, so be aware of the value of what you pick up.

Dustin Maccallum

The food was amazing! Way more to choose from then i was expecting. For the price, this buffet was a steal, would definitely reccomend to anyone looking for a great place to eat!!!

Laurenda Sabourin

Great location and good food. Love the baked goods they are exactly as ypu would expect and want.i like the lemonloaf.

Rick C

Employees not wearing masks blatantly in the grocery side and behind the coffee counter.

Sam Harris

Had a nice selection of imported goods but was hoping for more local produce.

Thomas MacDonald

Over the last 2 years this market has quickly become my go-to between meat or veggie pickups at the seaport. The flattened chickens are amazing, they have a great deal on flats of eggs and I will never buy pressed yogurt anywhere else. …

Anthony Gulliver

No service. Waited 15 minutes at cash by hot food on my lunch hour and no one helped me. Food looks good too bad no one will help you.

Peter Stroud

Good Variety and fair prices

Beatrice Wadden

We go there quite a bit. Love the food and the ambience. Today not so much the soup was tomato noodle. Noodles so over done that it didn’t even resemble soup. More like a bowl of over cooked pasta in tomato sauce and at the price i was disappointed In all it is a nice and relaxing spot

C. McClaf.

Excellent food and service! Awesome atmosphere and view!

Clifton Winkler

not a really good place for grocery very expensive and when I was there alot of people could hardly speak English, very unorganized to

Dylan Carlyle

Good pressed sandwiches.

Jason Wilson

Great place to come for coffee and treats. The market sells fresh produce, along with spices etc. It’s convenient to stop in here for produce and other essentials, I have found the prices slightly higher than other nearby grocery stores. …

Terri Rideout

Great place. Awesome views. Great lunches and grocery shopping afterwards.

Gareth Dobson

Food good however would have liked food to be served at table such that I could have had desert before paying

Bravo Charie

Awesome cafe , food and coffee was incredible , coming back for more bread pudding

P Pahl

Great products but not very friendly service at cash. If you ask her anything she seems irritated. The owners are amazing and helpful, though, and this is always a classy place to go regardless of how busy it can get.

Charles Comeau

When it freshly opened the review would have been a 4 or a 5, however the last few visits we have been disappointed. Corn was so dry it could only be used for Thanksgiving decorations, fruits we looked at were starting to rot and covered in fruit flies. Baked goods and bread still great and fresh.

Tim Feeley

Went for brunch. Awkward experience as you order and pay for brunch at one counter while you are required to go to another counter to order and pay for your coffee. Brunch is served on porcelain plate while you help yourself to a plastic …

Tim McL

We live in the neighbourhood and have been regular customers since the market opened. We’ve always enjoyed having coffee and the occasional bite in the bright, spacious cafe. However our last 3 visits, over a 3 week period, the coffee has …

danny hornsby

Great place but horrible parking lot

A S

Okay for a small buy-local place. I got a muffin that was stale and the selection in general isn't amazing because its not huge. The prices were better than expected. Worth checking out.

Shawn Foubert

Breakfast and coffee was great, wonderful place to shop.

Mitch Valcourt

Good selection, well organized. Quality products. Local produce is great!

Lianne E. Chang

Lots of produce here. Can grab a tasty meal too.
