Dr Flea’s Hwy 27 & Albion Flea Market

While this place may at one point been a worthwhile weekend distraction, what it is now would be better classified as an indoor rummage sale or glorified dollar store. Depending on where you enter the building you are immediately accosted by the smell of either knock-​off fragrances, incense, fried food, or cheap plastic toys. The entire place is full of shopkeepers who deal amongst their own compatriots exclusively in the medium of dirt-​cheap and low-​quality products. I’m not sure who is out there buying Pentium III computers or used 700mhz cordless phones in 2015 but judging by the stores, there must be a sucker for them. Dr. Fleas boasts an «international food court» which in reality is nothing more than a few stalls hocking Caribbean, Italian, and Middle-​Eastern style food. Most units don’t have real kitchens for food prep and most of the stuff appears to be brought in from the proprietor’s own home kitchens then warmed on-​site.
Simply put, unless you’re in the market for bottom-​of-​the-​barrel, low-​quality items avoid this flea market. There’s nothing worth buying here otherwise.

It’s dirty, the food court is full of food that will make the mcdonalds across the road look like a clean 5 star place to bring the family. I’d rather eat big macs off of a dirty toilet seat. A double bigmac is probably less greasier too. The stuff is so low quality and faulty factory seconds that the city should fine half the vendors for littering just by placing that junk in their «shops». It’s like our wallets are going to a really low class strip club how sleazy it is there, or a trip to the dump where it smells of incense sticks and knock off cologne if you don’t get a good wiff of body odor and curry going place to place (good luck)
Just like the woodbine center (which I’m reviewing next) and neighborhood this is in this place really went down hill. An annoying guy going HEY HEY HEY IT’S DR FLEAS, a wall of has beens that have been in there like this or that singer, this or that wrestler that the locals would have no idea who they are. Lots of junk like this guy selling 2 $ dvds that belong in the trash with no original cases or anything. pirated movies for the cops to bust the people doing it for some last minute end of the month tickets/​fines. A dirty farmers market where the fruits and vegetables will probably give you a disease or rot within days of purchase quicker then organic foods. I’d feel safer eating the produce out of a bio chemical waste dumpster. There is a reason grocery stores don’t sell their produce that cheap because it will last longer than a day or two. I know times are tough, people have said it for decades. Don’t be cheap and buy quality. There used to be an asian animé store, a comic book shop and a few other reasons to go back in the mid 2000s. There is nothing there now, knock offs of everything from colognes and perfumes to clothing I don’t know why half of them pay the annual vendor fee. But hey it gets them out of the house. One of my favorites is this guy in the parking lot trying to sell used power tools. Paint on them, covered in rust. oh heck yeah! I want it, it has character and is totally gonna last me since the first time it was plugged in Ronald Reagan was in the white house.
this place serves one purpose. It’s one of those places you go to with people from out of town who want the true rexdale experience without getting your car broken into.
ways to improve
better stores. which will never happen (Thank you ebay I love you)
the ONLY logical thing would be to tear it down and build a bestbuy or a few big named stores like the source, dollarama and so forth. or turn it into a ttc subway station.

I went there to buy a esmoke and looked around and found Sassy Joes. Bought 2 sets of automatic esmoke. He showed me how to use it and said they needed to be charged. Charged both batteries. didn’t work. Went back and he got it to work but only but not smoking it the way its supposed to be done. Wouldn’t do a refund. tried again and still couldn’t get it to work. went back again. still wouldn’t do a refund or even credit… DO NOT BUY FROM HIM. hes a crook and will take your money and give you bad goods!!! ps. his liquid he says is 14g nicotine. don’t be fooled. its not!!!

Dr. Flea’s was really disappointing. I thought it would be more like a traditional flea market but instead it was cell phone booths, fake jewelry, and knock offs. It was more like going to Pacific Mall.

Went there on a lark by a friend staying over. He heard about this place as it had a bit of everything and he was looking for something not common. Went there and it was many of the same store, the carpet store, the cell phone accessory store, the knock off jewelry store. Nothing really that interesting. They did have a farmers market outside which was different but the food (albeit near the end of the day) was not good. The selection looked like the bottom of the bowl and about as fresh.
Overall, I good place to kill time if you are in the area, but no reason to head over there from any major distance.

I have never been to this place before. Went there just for something to do and it was horrible. There is nothing interesting there, nothing good. They also had a farmers market that I thought would be great to pick up some fresh fruits but that was the most dirtiest markets around here. I have never been to one like that in Ontario. Dirty, bad veggies and fruits…
Surprisingly a lot of people there, the parking lot was full…
I don’t recommend this farmers maker or flea market itself.
