Branche D’olivier

Love this place! There’s a great variety of bulk food at a great price. I was also surprised by the vegan products they have in store: daiya cheese and pizza, gardein meat substitutes, vegan ice cream and cookies, etc. Needless to say it is now my go to place for vegan products!

Je fais de fréquent passages pour mon épicerie ici et je suis toujours satisfaite du service et des produits! Surtout pour les choix de cosmétiques bio et les produits secs en vrac (noix entières, farines, sucre, légumineuses). Le personnel accepte même de peser mes contenants réutilisables, ce qui est un gros plus pour moi.
Les prix sont vraiment abordables. De quoi faire le pleins de bons produits pour pas cher à toutes les semaines.

This is one of my regular stops in the Plateau, and each visit is like an adventure — I’d say that I probably drop in at least five times a week!
Not only do they have a well-​stocked and massive selection of teas, herbs and spices, essential oils, bulk foods, Middle Eastern desserts and treats, fresh feta + olives, health food snacks, obscure ethnic foods and rare canned goods, but they also have a fair smattering of local food products as well (ie Montréal nachos). It’s not just food stuffs, either — there are all kinds of cooking tools and crockery, like tajines and cool wooden cookie moulds. Every single time I go in, I discover something new, like a treasure hunt! I want to linger longer to get a sense of all the goodies that are hiding on every shelf, but I don’t want to be a weirdo — so I just go back a lot. It seems they’ve always got just what I need when I can’t really find it anywhere else. Example? Sandalwood oil, my favourite — couldn’t find it ANYWHERE in the city, but Branche D’olivier had it, and it was affordable! Score. I stocked up on frankincense and myrrh, too.
The people who run this small business are all pretty wonderful — always pleasant and smiling, helpful and welcoming, especially the lady I see most often. It’s a fairly new store, as of about six months ago and I was sooooo happy to see it open up shop! I used to go to the store in Saint-​Henri when they were there, and it was one of the things I missed about Saint-​Henri when I moved. But, voila! They came to my new neighbourhood and now I’m their most loyal customer.

Un kilo de miel québécois non pasteurisé à 9 $! Je n’avais jamais vu ça à l’extérieur du marché Jean-​Talon… Beaucoup de produits, dans ce commerce qui vient d’ouvrir, qui sont d’excellente qualité et qui sont vendu souvent BEAUCOUP moins cher que dans les autres commerces de la rue Mont-​Royal. Le même beurre d’arachide bio qu’à l’épicerie, mais à 4 $ au lieu de 6 $, etc. Entrez faire un tour si vous habitez dans le coin, ça deviendra rapidement un incontournable de votre tournée d’emplettes…
