A good spot to buy local fruits and veggies, and also just fun to walk around. Hamel has the best cheeses, Joe LaCroute has delicious fancy breads, and you can get your fancy teas at Camelia Sinensis. There's an oyster stand, local soaps and socks, ice cream, fresh juice, and too many butchers to remember.

Bakeries
Amazing bakery, locally-owned and operated. I recommend the rose shortbread cookies and the queen elizabeth cake. They also make a mean iced latte.
