Essence of Life in Kensington Market is one of the best health food stores in the city. The prices here are much better than Noah's and the Big Carrot; and the selection is amazing. There's a good selection of bulk products including apple butter, organic peanut butter and tahini.
The staff here is amazing-- they are so knowledgable and friendly. It's a staple in the market and the cheapest place to buy organic food. Their deals are always changing!
You really need to check expiration dates when shopping there. I bought stuff that was already expired twice and have since learned my lesson.
it's cheap because they own the building, buy in bulk and buy soon to expire goods.
so yeah, double check before you buy things.
This is the greatest health food store in the city!! Since moving here from Vancouver, I've discovered that organic food in Toronto tends to be way overpriced. This store allows me to still afford the great food that I love while on a student budget. They also have the best price on Greens+, which is another product that I can't live without.
I like the store and shop there - but the expiration dates are hard to find, past due or missing. watch carefully or buyer's remorse. still a great store.

This is the best store in toronto. I can always count on this store for the best prices on organic baby food and organic dairy products. It is also fun to shop in with a great bohemian vibe.
