Cook St Village

We stopped by Lifestyle Markets, 🇨🇦Victoria BC to chat with Ananda about a few of her favourite finds around the store. 🛒

Ananda shared some of her personal favourites, including what she reaches for when she needs a little pick me up, something for winding down, and the one product she can’t leave without.

Lifestyle Market has been a go to in the Village for organic groceries, vitamins, supplements, natural health products, and plenty of everyday wellness finds. Whether you’re stocking up on your usual favourites or curious to discover something new, there’s always lots to explore.

Stop by next time you’re in Cook Street Village and see what catches your eye! ☺️

There’s still plenty of sunshine left to enjoy a patio pizza date ☀️

We stopped by Pizzeria Prima Strada and had quite the spread. We tried their refreshing blueberry basil soda, Polpette della casa, classic Margherita pizza, Panna e pancetta pizza, and of course, tiramisu to finish. 🍕✨

And there’s so much more to explore while you’re there. Their house made chilli oil is a must for pizza lovers, and you can even take home one of their frozen pizzas or grab some gelato for later.

With September still bringing us some beautiful sunny days, grab a seat on the patio, enjoy some pizza, and take in the views of Cook Street Village while you can.

Make the most of these last sunny days and see you at Prima Strada! 🥰

We had the chance to sit down with Kristiane, the owner of Surroundings, for a little chat about the story behind Surroundings and what goes into choosing the pieces that fill the store.

From where she finds inspiration to what catches her eye when sourcing, it was so fun to learn more about the thought and personality behind the collection. Every visit to Surroundings feels a little different, with unique furniture, home decor, and beautiful finds you won’t see everywhere else. 🏡

Whether you’re looking for a special piece to finish a room or simply love browsing for something unexpected, be sure to stop by Surroundings the next time you’re in Cook Street Village. ✨

A visit to Cook Street Village isn’t complete without a stop at Big Wheel Burger 🍔

We’re looking back at some of last month’s delicious feature items, including the Pickle Chips, Spicy Hawaiian Burger, and Blueberry Milkshake. Big Wheel introduces new feature items every month, so there’s always something new to try. Be sure to check out their website or social media to see what’s on this month’s menu!

Beyond the great food, Big Wheel Burger is also making a difference in our community. Through the Big Wheel Burger Community Foundation, 1% of every bill is donated to local initiatives supporting food security, and Big Wheel matches every dollar, doubling the impact.
