Salt Spring Mercantile Ltd

Tiny little store that has abit of everything you might need. Really, for how small it is, I’m always surprised that they have such a good selection of vegetables, specialty foods and pharmacy items. Great selection of locally made candles, soaps, honey, jams etc for gift giving as you get on the ferry. Baked goods are delicious. And the staff are always lovely.

Stopped here for a gluten free quiche which was excellent. Also had ginger snaps which had a strong ginger flavor and were fairly well priced. Good location right near the ferry. An underrated activity here would be people watching on the little stools by the window. Would return here.

A great place to stop in while waiting for the ferry. Wide variety of food and gift items as well as liquor. We grabbed some yummy brownies and pepperoni sticks and went down to the government dock to eat by the water. They even have an old typewriter in there if you need to write a letter.

Unique store with a assortment of goods. From locally brewed beer to bicycle tools and groceries ,they had it.We sat at the bar stool counter eating ice cream and did enjoy the atmosphere of last minute shoppers scurrying about getting last minute refreshments for their ferry ride.Staff were helpful with information about the local brew and some general information about the area. ????
