About Shanti Baba Trading Co.
Shanti Baba Trading Co. is Toronto’s oldest street-level head shop, located on the iconic Queen Street West strip. The shop is a unique blend of spiritual supply store and smoke shop, carrying an eclectic mix of products including crystals, tarot cards, meditation tools, incense, silver jewelry, tapestries, Hindu deity carvings, and smoking accessories.
The store offers a modest selection of hemp and kratom products. While kratom is not their primary focus, Shanti Baba provides an accessible option for those in the Queen West neighborhood looking to purchase kratom at affordable prices. The shop sells kratom labeled as incense, following Canadian regulations around the sale of kratom as “not for human consumption.”
The spiritual and alternative lifestyle focus of the store creates a distinctive shopping experience compared to typical head shops. However, customers seeking a wide kratom selection or specialized kratom knowledge may find the offerings limited compared to dedicated kratom vendors.
