Food is fine, if you’re able to visit when they’re open. Which is seemingly only when the planets align and mercury is in retrograde

This little grocery store has everything I need and more. The staff are friendly, they have a good selection of food both local and otherwise, and they have a fantastic butcher shop. I've never written a review before but I felt the need to for this store, because it is genuinely one of the best parts about living in the area.

Bearance’s in Kingston, Ontario is the what all local grocery stores should be. It is friendly. Compact. Well laid out. It provides real cheerful and helpful service. You don’t get sent to isle 16–because there is none!
Staff serves you.
Their butcher counter is small but well stocked. Don’t immediately see it, well ask for it. They will make it up fresh for you. And tell you how to prepare it if you ask. They have great recommendations.
Their in-house prepared bbq skewers are excellent. Burgers are prepared fresh and the perfect balance of right thickness of meat and fat which translates

This is the best grocery ever! They have everything you need - plus special extras....and you won't buy a ton of extras you don't need like at the big box groceries. And Dave the butcher will prepare and also cook for you! He's done our turkey, baked ham, stuffed pork roast, etc. I love going there - I am a real person, not a number. The staff are all so nice and friendly. They know who you are! Michael, et al, have done an incredible job making groceries a personal and enjoyable experience. Thanks! I can't imagine my life without you! ps and you will find hand-picked local apples, local strawberries

Very helpful and have a great COVID safe system going. Good precautions and a wide selection of needs (from cleaning to fresh produce/meats/baked goods).
I tried a mini frozen cheese cake (chocolate hazelnut, made fresh from a baker in Kingston). Was delicious, very decadent.
Very pleased from my visit. I’m under the impression the meat area (for salamis etc) is popular.

Excellent local grocery store. The staff is so friendly and always eager to help with selection, either at the front counter or in the deli. The selection of goods is top notch. All the fresh foods are in great condition. They have delicious specialty cheeses and treats from local bakeries. The prices are reasonable and the customer care is fabulous (eg, no tp hoarding). I love shopping at Bearance's

Best store ever - huge selection, quick in and out vs box store trekking and crowds, good prices often the same as box store or less! My favs - Burt's Greenhouse produce, fingerling potatoes, local tomatoes, Mrs Oomens whole wheat bagels. Friendly, helpful staff as well.
