Ottawa Foodies

Worth a visit if you're going to be in the area.

I sort of squealed when I found it; it's not the sort of thing you expect to run across in a small town.

Huge bulk selection. Great produce, with loads of organic stuff.

Tasty little deli/take-away counter.

A bunch of interesting health-foody stuff I hadn't seen since I'd been in a Whole Foods. Good cheeses, too.

-- pretty accurate.

Sparklingly clean, too; quite a nice place to shop. They do mail-order, with free shipping for orders over $100, but it's way more fun to go in person. I took home all sorts of things I don't usually think about or see elsewhere, like nutritional yeast flakes. Which I'm still trying to figure out what to do with, but no mind.

If you can arrive around 11 to 11:30-ish. The vegetarian pizza slices they package up, will still be warm. They don't have a pizza warmer and I don't think they offer a re-heat, so timing is critical.

Quite a nice and inexpensive early lunch.

I finally found some blue cornmeal that I've been looking for forever. I got the last package of it at Foodsmith's in Perth.
