- Andrea LDecember 22, 2013Much better then the food basics on wellesley/ontario st. in St. Jamestown. This one is cleaner, brighter, and bigger and has much more selection, better hours .
Blue ChanJuly 7, 2015Very narrow aisle which are complicated by bins and stand-up display stands. Decent selection and excellent prices. I prefer this store over Loblaws. Better selection - you get what you paid for.
Hate how when I go in on Sundays, the cashier boys are always having loud conversations with eachother ! They never say ur total, or change or want bags? Its annoying and the store is dirty
- RNovember 20, 2023This is hell on earth for anything perishable. Produce and meat is sketchy at best, and downright rotten at worst.
Ronald LopezAugust 10, 2014Very slow service with long line ups. The front-end gets very crowded and difficult to move through.
I only go here as an absolute last resort. Terrible store.

"one of the best McDonald's in Toronto Ontario Canada (my future home) because it does have an indoor PlayPlace and those are the best McDonald's buildings ever. Most people and I love PlayPlaces."

"Normally the staff is friendly and easy going. Today the outside cashier complained that I was making her day difficult, by following instructions on the terminal. Blame me for your crappy terminals!"

"Their pizza slices are actually really good. The crust is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and they pack on the cheese. At $2.99/slice or $3.49 w/ a drink, you can't go wrong."
Monica Luzano 
"Avocados, strawberries, blueberries all ripe and priced to sell, eat then soon or you will have to dispose of them."

"Make sure you're familiar with the sobeys, big carrot or neighbourhood fruit stands because for sure you'll have to visit to finish your list."
