    One of the best IKEAs I have been to! They're normally always stocked with everything and have very friendly staff who'll help you find anything you're looking for.

    The wi-fi is pour, and the store is very confusing with all it's "pathways". The food is very good quality and is delicious and low-priced. Overall, this is a wonderful IKEA store.

    All customers should stop by for a bite, before or after shopping, great pricing for food, wide variety of furniture offerings, their associates are a bit bored; great cinnamon buns!!!!!

    It feels like a labyrinth but you’ll find what you need and a lot of good stuff on sale or super cheap prices. Also has a restaurant at higher level and a fast food area at lower level. Recommended.

    According to @JackieTLeclaire, 2 pieces of garlic bread and a lingonberry juice is the best lunch served here. I'm inclined to agree.

    If you get a member card you can get a free coffee at all times, and you can get discounts on majority of all items in the store... I love shopping here!!!!

    Premium parking spots for hybrid vehicles = dumb idea. My compact car gets way better mileage that the Lexus SUV hybrid. Besides, there are often non- hybrid vehicles parked there too.

    Great variety of household items and plants. The furniture is cheaply made though.

    A fascinating and surreal store. Come for the cheap food and maybe buy some furniture, I guess.

    Don't expect to be able to take their stuff with u if u move, this is a one time thing. If u get all the parts in your furniture you're definitely a lucky individual. Ikea stuff looks good but sux

    Get a family card even thought you don't shop very often. You get some great deals sometimes.

    For hot dogs, go to Costco. Hot Dogs are bigger and much more condiments at Costco

    A few family 'misses'. Carts only hold 1 child, and family washrooms don't have automatic doors. Hard with strollers to get around and buy things!

    Want to miss the crowd? Go on a weekday when the sun is shining. People flock to IKEA when the weather is poor.

    Instead of rebooting your phone when you get out, try putting it in airplane mode then take it out after a few seconds. It'll get your 3G back.

    Don't forget to bring your own reusable bags. They no longer have or sell plastic ones, only their reusable ones.

    This furniture pick up area is brutal what a stupid system. The last thing I want to do after finding my way through the warehouse with no help is wait for the rest of my order.
