6 Ways to Spend the Day in King City

King City is a charming town and growing community with plenty of amenities. It’s surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes with dozens of opportunities to eat, shop, and explore.

If you’re thinking of making the move to King City here’s what a typical Saturday might look like.

Start your morning off with a coffee and bagel from Spresso Dessert Bar, a local establishment that offers an assortment of fresh made sweet and savoury baked goods as well as cappuccinos, lattes, iced coffees, and more.

After you grabbed a bite, get your grocery shopping done at Coppa’s Fresh Market. Located in the King’s Ridge Marketplace at King Road and Dufferin, you can grab all your essentials here, from high quality meat and produce, to prepared foods, and more. The Marketplace is also home to small shops, boutiques, and personal services including a men’s clothing store, hair salon, wellness clinics, dog groomers, and athletic centres.

If you’re looking for something special or to restock your freezer, 20 minutes west on King Road you’ll find Nobleton’s Loconte Fine Meats a premium butcher that offers a great selection of fresh and packaged Italian meats.

In the afternoon, check out Pine Farm Orchard. You can pick your own apples here in the fall, but it’s open year-round selling seasonal treats, as well as strawberries, oranges, pears, blueberries, and fresh vegetables.

Then, check out one of the local trails or parks. King City Trail is a family favourite, but there’s also the Ed Millar Side Trail that winds from Oak Ridges to Seneca College’s King Campus. Or head north to Centennial Park, with forest paths perfect for hiking or mountain biking.

For an evening out, enjoy the patio at LOCALE Restaurant. Located in a 150-year-old building in the heart of King City, this quaint restaurant that serves delicious Italian style meals. If you’re coming with a group, book their harvest table, a barn board table that seats 10 guests in a private area within the main dining room.
