Toronto Office Markets: Buy Local Food Where You Work

What are you doing for lunch today? If you're in the area, why not pop into the CSI Annex on Bathurst and pick up some local, great food?
Every Tuesday lunch hour, in fact, you can shop at the CSI Annex Toronto Office Market and more markets are launching in other locations.
Brought to you, once again, by our intrepid neighbour, Aruna, here's the scoop about what's available today:

ROSTER AT CSI - ANNEX

Augie's Soups: soups for lunch and soups to take home. Janet is also working on some stews to add to the jars of nearly ready to eat foods for busy working professionals.

Earth and Ciy: vegan wraps, burgers, savouries and sweets. Raw and vegan, delightful and nourishing.

Monforte Dairy: Constance is back!!! Monforte is so much more than just cheese. Try their butter, their summer sausage, their yoghurt!

Nice Buns: Have you tried her buns? At $1 a pop, they make an affordable and delicious accompaniment to a piece of Monforte's cheddar or one Jesse's dips.

Luscious Dips: Root vegetables, hummus genius, attention to a satisfying mouthfeel and an educated palate make Jesse the best dip-maker around.

Fresh City Farms: mostly local, all organic, always delicious. Supplement your weekly box delivery with the items you've already enjoyed.

Tiffinday Indian Tea Snacks. When I visited family in Calcutta, Bombay and Delhi, samosas and the like were served at tea time with a beautifully fragrant cup of tea.

Seema of Tiffinday will bring us the familiar samosa as well as the less well-known tea savouries: this week the chickpea-based dhokla. Eat them for lunch, or save them for tea time (if you can...)

Toronto Office Markets are branching out into new locations in the city. We'll keep you posted on the new markets as they launch. We'll be in the ING Direct Yonge Street location on March 1 with our official launch on March 8th.

This week at the Annex, we are introducing another new vendor: Tiffinday. You may have read in the papers about their lunch delivery service. ... they will be serving samosas and dhoklas for your gustatory pleasure. Indian tea savouries with Tiffinday's signature chutney.
