Root Cellar Village Green Grocer Ltd
Reviews
Root Cellar is an amazing place to visit during the summer. There is so much super fresh produce to choose from and the prices are amazing. Super high quality produce too. If you want as fresh as possible vegetables without going to the actual farm this is the place to go.
The RC carries a type of gluten free wrap that I cannot get anywhere else, so when I run out I shop there and pick up whatever produce I need. Ever since they expanded, there are no deals; Thrifty's beats their prices more often than not. However, there is an impressive selection of produce.
They actually closed at 7pm not 8pm. This was frustrating to find out upon my arrival at 6:45… other then that it is a wonderful grocery store. Great prices and fresh produce!!
When big box stores allow you to buy your tomatoes 2 aisles over from your printer paper, the Root Cellar has gone in exactly the opposite direction -- giving Victoria its only greengrocer. They provide a great range of produce (much of it local), at a reasonable price, year-round! They have a few extras such as eggs and milk, and a few locally sourced meats and cheeses, but really remain focused on providing good quality veg. Over the past couple of years, they have become increasingly popular (TIP: don't go on a weekend-day if you don't like crowds -- they are open til 8 every night). If you do a lot of canning and preserving, they also provide case-lot pricing on pretty much everything in stock.
Best place for fresh local fruit, veges, meats and more!
