Paraiso Tropical Latin Market began in the 1980s when Salvadorans fled their homeland during political unrest. With their desire to share their culture with the people of their new home, Edmonton, Paraiso Tropical was opened. Today, this market sells various Latin American products, including hot sauces, chips, beverages, tortillas and grains; a Latin American dream.
The Market also has a kitchen where fresh and flavourful Latin American meals can be ordered or delivered to your doorstep.

Since 1977, Popular Bakery has provided Edmonton’s finest restaurants, hotels and eateries with quality-baked goods, specialty bread and pastries. The Bakery is conscious of the ingredients used to make its products and prides itself on avoiding bleached flour without preservatives. Using the finest ingredients, the Bakery also ages its dough, meaning the dough is given time to break down proteins and gluten making it easier for digestion.

Stop by Battista’s Calzone Company to enjoy the neighbourhood’s famous hand-made, from-scratch Italian calzones. With ten different calzone flavours, each calzone is made from homemade, tender dough from scratch. Fresh tomatoes are cooked with herbs and spices, and 100% Canadian mozzarella cheese tops it off and is baked to a golden brown. No wonder it is a neighbourhood favourite!
