A family-run grocer offering packaged and fresh organic foods, Cabbagetown Organics fits right in on the Parliament strip, in the middle of a neighbourhood replete with independent butchers and bakers. This makes Cabbagetown Organics a convenient place to pick up salad ingredients to accompany a steak from St. Jamestown Steak and Chops and a baguette from Absolute Bakery, or just to grab some healthy food for dinner.
“We’ve got everything,” says owner Sam Muthreja. “Gluten-free, nut-free, allergen-free…people come here and they shop around.”
With a wide selection of organic dairy, dairy alternatives and produce, Sam says his store is popular for everyday grocery shopping, but when “people need something special, they come here.” Even if someone’s diet is restricted by an allergy or health concern, Sam says, they can shop at Cabbagetown Organics and find something for every meal of the day — including dessert.
