Old City Cheese & Market

At the heart of the shop is a wide array of global and local artisanal cheese alongside cured meats, terrines, and pâtés. The shelves are stocked with global pantry essentials, from fine olive oils and vinegars to imported tinned fish and seafood, Asian sauces and pastes, and honey and jam. There's also an eclectic mix of spices, pastas and crackers, and local Vancouver Island products, with plenty of gluten-free options. The fridge case also holds fresh dairy options including milk and butter, along with prepared items like sausage rolls, pies, and take-home pastas. At the front, you'll find a small cafe counter serving coffee alongside grab-and-go sandwiches and pastries.
