Merchants Flea Market

I really like going to flea markets because you usually find some really cool items, plus the ethnic food is always a plus. You have to appreciate a grimy dingy place to appreciate the value that a flea market represents.
I walked the whole place in a matter of minutes, as this market is really not that big. I was deeply disappointed this the lack of a food court and the fact that there is no farmers market. There is a miss-​leading sign outside that point in the direction of a farmers market, however, it is a dead end. There is one lonely stand with some fruits and few veggies but I would not call that a farmers market!
I can understand if there is not enough space here to have a food court, but the lack of food vendors is really bad! They have your typical Caribbean food, one backed good stand, and a juice stand. But no big selection of foods. I guess this once is too small in size to have a wider selection. This is probably why it is not as popular as the other flea markets.
While it was nice to visit this location I don’t think I will be back, it was too small and there was nothing really that peeked my interest.

I’m surprised there are no Unilocal reviews for this flea market. It is so popular you can’t get a parking spot on the weekends when it’s open. If you have been to other flea markets in Toronto, or to a third world country, you will have a general idea what it’s all about. The front part of the market sells jewelry and there is a pet store in another section. They sell birds. There is a psychic. The rest of the market is tacky clothes and other tacky merch. There is a great snack bar with Caribbean food, like doubles.
