“Great selection of meats, produce, frozen food, and miscellaneous items that change on a regular basis so make sure to check frequently for popup sales items during the week. Prices are very reasonable and sometimes incredible. One thing is certain, the owner/operator is not greedy at all, unlike the big box stores that gouge us to death. This is truly a case of a local store owner trying to get the best prices for the local citizens. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The store is kept clean even though it is often packed full with customers. There is often a line up to get into the store, but it usually moves fairly fast. The store is about to get bigger as a result. Overall the store does bring great grocery value to the local community without gouging while being profitable enough to remain open. It's the way traditional groceries were before big box stores appeared many decades ago. This is a local grocer that we citizens should support and be loyal to.”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this store! The people that own it are super sweet, friendly and welcoming to everyone and are very knowledgeable about all their products. They have spices that I can't find at most places and have the nicest oxtail ever. I also buy my grandkids hair products here and they're amazing. You can't beat their great prices either. If I could give you more stars, I most definitely would. If you've never visited, I definitely recommend that you do!”
“They had Ramune soda, and self heating meals. Great prices for imports highly recommend them to anyone looking for Asian groceries. Definitely gonna be visiting again.”
“It's always such a nice experience having the owners help find what I need and also recommend a few other things to help with ingredients. My parents have been frequent customers since we moved to Halifax over 20 years ago. I recommend it for hard to find items and just for supporting a local store that's been here for 40 years.”
“Hard to make a bad choice here. Everything I've tried has been great, and as someone who often forgets about meals until I'm already hungry, I appreciate a quality frozen dinner. I do find it a bit pricey though, so I usually wait for sales and stock up.
The staff at this location are very cheerful and personable, and always have an informed recommendation ready if you're looking to try something new.”

“A very interesting place. In addition to simple food products, you can also find various interesting souvenirs here. Plus the place itself seems to be quite small overall, but there are different points of interest: Theatre, Liquor store, Wellness Centre, Library, Tim Hortons and restaurant. And of course, there is a ferry terminal near the place too. Probably objectively it should have been 4, but I really liked this place and its compactness, so to speak, without unnecessary huge empty spaces, so I’ll give it a subjective 5 based on my internal feelings.”
“Big Rays is the place!! Wife wanted “Authentic” Chinese food. Big Ray walked me through his store and went over all the available options and made sound suggestions to help me make the wife happy. Excellent products Amazing prices. Very welcoming. Have a nice day ;-)”
“We dropped in for the Independance Cookout on Aug.5. The curried goat and jerk chicken were fantastic! This store is a gem and an asset to the neighborhood. I make sure all my international students know where to find Gloria's when they arrive in September. They sell products for customers the big grocers ignore.”
“While the grocery prices are a little high, its the price of supporting a locally owned business. The environment is nice and their espresso drinks are to die for. I find myself coming back quite frequently for their white mochas (with oat milk) specifically :) I also really liked their seasonal option of the tiramisu latte! Sooo good!!”
“I'm always amazed at how much food I'm getting for the price. Staff will load up all your containers with whatever you want and ring you up. Always a pleasant experience!”
“I would like to thank the exceptional pharmacy staff for going above and beyond in their service today, May 8/23. The girls are absolutely fantastic. I cannot thank them enough.”
“We love this store, they always respect their schedule, coincidentally the store is always open when we have needed to buy, it is worth walking 3 blocks to them. This store has been our lifesaver when we ran out of food at home because the store always has eggs and milk. Thank you for your great customer service”
“Sobeys Penhorn, located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, is a great option for grocery shopping.
I was impressed by the wide selection of fresh items, including fruits, vegetables, and meats, as well as the variety of international products and local specialties available.
The bakery and fish sections stood out for their exceptional quality and freshness, which added to the overall experience.
The store is well-organized, making it easy to find what you need, and the staff were very helpful and polite, always ready to assist.”
“My experience with bulkbarn is great there's a employee by the name of breea she has great communication skills she's an amazing person i would recommend if you put her in higher position because she's of great mind and a sweet soul”

“Bay of Bengal Grocery Store is a great spot if you're looking for Desi/Bengali fish especially Rohu, Hilsa, Catla etc. It was our first visit, quite impressed with the variety and taste was also good. However, when it comes to other grocery items, the price was not clearly marked and found little extra compared to other grocery stores. But if fish is what you're after, this place is definitely worth a visit”

“Not sure what company runs the flower/ horticulture shops for Sobeys in Halifax, but they truly do an AMAZING job!! I am particularly impressed by the delightful array of flowers and plants always presented at the Queen St. Sobeys: they are always so well taken care of, and such a wonderful and ever-changing variety of species and varieties!! Most impressive indeed.”

“Only Closed on Christmas Day.
It is exactly what you would expect from a convenience store. a mix of odds and ends you may need. Whats perfect is the fact they are open 364 Days of the year, so even when most everything else is closed, they are open.”
“a very kind store associate named lauren was so friendly and a joy to speak with. she helped me at the self checkout and was just so kind!! really appreciate your help!”
“The locally made (Scotsburn) ice-creams here are a must-have if you're visiting. I recommend the chocolate peanut butter one that made all attempts at being a resilient adult seem like a distant dream.Decently priced and right next to the scenic Point Pleasant Park, so going for a walk with it was very satisfying.”
“went to grab a cake and had to wait a little for someone to help me, but the store manager came over and was so kind and helpful ,such a cool guy,Really great service—thank you”
“It's tiny, cramped and selection is relatively limited
However, smokes are decently priced, it normally has what you need and you really start to like the guy behind the counter
All in all, it's a nice shop”
“Says it closes at 10pm but REALLY it closes after 9pm. I was informed not to shop after 8pm by the cashier LOL as they wanted to go home. Hey... I get it.
Aside from that, the Store was pretty nice, very clean, especially the floors (like oddly I noticed that.) Well stocked and layout made sense. I will definitely come back here.”
“Hugh thank you to Sherry in the bakery for saving the day! There was some confusion with our original order, and she quickly designed a birthday cake on the spot. You're the best!”
