The Canal Market

Long known to locals as Kim's Market, this Venice corner store sits across from the historic canals and a block from the public library. Coffee, wine and spirits share shelf space with sandwiches, pastries and grocery items sourced from as far as Italy. An in-house florist arranges bouquets to go, and the back patio is where regulars linger over the newspaper or a plate of pancakes, walking or biking in from the neighborhood.
