Masstown Market

Coming from Ontario, where we have markets like St Jacobs, I was a bit underwhelmed by Masstown. It was highly recommended to us by a few different people, but it didn't appear to be anything more than a boutique style grocery store. We spent about 10 minutes inside and didn't really find anything we couldn't buy at our local stores. The creamery and butcher across the street, on the other hand, we extremely impressive and had some really great products. Would not go out of our way to visit again; but would definitely drive there for the butcher.

Every time I drive past the area, I pulled into Mass town Market for it's amazing Bakery. There are a variety of scones and tea biscuits hang on, and they're sweet rolls are the tastiest thing to bring to a dinner that you're invited to. A must visit as you pass by on the trans-canada highway. They also have a great deli and ice cream bar. And there's a picture of Canada and Guardian Pharmacy across the street.

I hadn't been to the Masstown Market in years. My last visit was when there was a hotel across the road (which I know is dating me).
While the store itself had a fair few people inside, everyone was regulated to wearing masks, and there were plenty of signs about maintaining social distancing. A gentleman at the front of the store was only allowing a certain amount of people in at a time, and there was a separate area for those who were just there for ice cream.
I had no concerns about how they were handling the covid-19 situation. I felt safe, and welcome in the shop, as well as in the restaurant side.
I got to try the seafood pie for the first time, and it's probably the best meal I've had in a long, long time.
The staff were helpful, and although they had run out of a few things that I would have liked to have picked up, I was NOT disappointed with their prices, the quality of the products, or the store itself.
A lot of people seem to be complaining about very minor things, and not remembering that we're all in this pandemic together.
Great to see a local business thriving.
Can't wait to go again :)

I wish PEI had a local supermarket like this

Must stop spot lots of variety
