The Root Cellar
The Root Cellar is a much-loved Victoria institution offering farm-fresh BC produce alongside a full butcher (The Chop Shop), deli, bulk groceries, and a seasonal garden centre all under one roof at the McKenzie Corner flagship. The deli counter turns out ready-to-eat items including house-marinated rotisserie chicken and breakfast sandwiches, making it a practical stop for cyclists who need to refuel or restock. The store is known for its house-made products, strong emphasis on local BC sourcing, and notably accessible pricing.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Á,LEṈENEȻ ȽTE (W̱SÁNEĆ), Lekwungen/Songhees, Te’mexw Treaty Association, and Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla.
