Fruit Stores Suggestions Needed

Hi everyone. I would just like opinions/suggestions on places in the GTA that have the most amazing variety of fruits, especially berries. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'm partial to K&K on Spadina's west side, just north of Dundas.

      I'd go to Chinatown or Fiesta Farms.

          Berries, maybe some exotics. Hoping for great variety so that I can be flexible and can get ideas.

            In terms of quality and exotic quotient

            #1- Harvest Wagon (Eglinton east of Spadina) or Yonge and Summerhill is the best and by far priciest.

            #2 Summerhill Market

            #3 Pusateris

            #4 Concord fruit is great, but not exotic. The prices are very fair at Concord.

            #5 Sun Valley on the Danforth

              I haven't been to Harvest Wagon, but how does that compare to the fruit available at the Cheese Boutique? I see items there that are not commonly found at other places.

                Generally a larger selection at Harvest Wagon (I'm only familiar with Summerhill location) than Cheese Boutique ... similar pricing

              Still no clue what you want(berries? What kind?). Everything's imports now. Wait a few weeks for the Ontario crops to come in. Shop T&T for Asian exotics.

            Concord Fruit Centre at Dufferin & Centre Street, if you're up in that neighbourhood! We're never disappointed.

              If price is no object, I'd suggest the Harvest Wagon, Pusateri's or McEwan.
