Eastern European Groceries and Fresh Baked Goods in Vancouver

Kolos Euro Food on 164th Avenue in Vancouver specializes in Eastern European groceries that are hard to find at a regular supermarket, including sprats and other small canned fish in oil, cured and smoked meats, pickles, and sweets. A bakery case tends to keep customers at the counter longer than planned, with fresh baked and fried savory hand pies that people come in for on their own.

The small store makes up for its size with how densely the shelves are packed, so anyone trying Eastern European groceries for the first time should plan to take some time browsing rather than rushing through.

Regulars especially point to the canned fish selection and the fresh baked goods, which tend to sell through over the course of the day.
