Daiter’s Fresh Market is a family market which was established in 1937 by founder Harry Daiter. In 1957, his son Ron felt it was time to open another location in a new growing community which was in the north end of Toronto at the time.
Third generation Joel and Stephen Daiter now own and operate the present location at 3535 Bathurst Street, north of Lawrence Avenue West. The Daiter brothers have grown up in the family business and know most of their customers. In many cases, they know their extended families as well.
Daiter’s is known for their Lana Brand Cheeses. All the varieties are made in small batches without fillers or preservatives, the way cheese was produced in Europe for over a hundred years. Many customers shop regularly at Daiter’s for the full array of cottage cheeses and cream cheese mixes. Lana Brand 0.5% M.F. cottage cheese is the largest selling cottage cheese in the store and one of the best selling cottage cheeses in Ontario. Enjoy it plain, mixed with smoked salmon, or fresh garden vegetables. The Lana Brand 2.5% M.F. cottage cheese is still produced and sold out of a cheese cloth for the freshest full flavor product which put Daiter’s on the map back in 1937. Their cream cheese is perfect for those who prefer a traditional full fat cheese, or try their 9% M.F. cheese for low fat alternative.

Daiter’s carries a wide variety of products including dairy items, cheeses, vegetarian, low fat, fresh prepared salads, cooked foods and delicious freshly baked sweets. All bakery items are baked in view daily such as Gryfe's Bagels, baked onsite 7 days a week. Their bakery department also bakes a large selection of sumptuous sugar free pastries and pies. The on-premises full service kitchen prepares all their delectable salads and specialty cooked food items. Try Daiter’s own nova lox, cured with all natural ingredients. Watch the Daiter brothers hand slice it for you. It’s the best in the city.

The Daiter’s look forward to greeting you themselves when you visit them in their family run Market.
