“I’ve been shopping at Union Foodmart for 2 years. They have an amazing selection of food products plus cook equipment and other items to serve and consume your meal. The staff are absolutely lovely and eager to help you find whatever you need or answer your questions. Shopping here is always a fun learning experience.”
“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!”

“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.”
“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 showcase for Nova Scotia food items.
If you are traveling try some local flavor instead of Costco or Walmart.
The bakery items are great.
The local blueberries are very tasty.”
“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.”
“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 ;-)”

“This little but very friendly corner store has been around like, FOREVER!!! They certainly must be doing something right.. which they are. You don't survive as a business of ANY kind in Spryfield for that long, without being a First Class Establishment.”

“The Grainery is such a hidden gem! They source a wonderful range of local and package-free items. Everyone who works there has been amazing with helping me to refill my bottles of soaps, etc. I love the cooperative structure of the business and am happy to support this kind of initiative in my community. Plus, the prices are incredible! Ethical, sustainable, and local - can’t go wrong.”
“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”
“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.”
“Great convenience store with in Store butcher and very friendly staff next to subway, the liquor store and a dollar like store with enough parking most of the times.”

“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”
“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”
“This store usually has everything that I need. If a sale item is sold out, it is usually replenished quickly. I find that this store is very clean and well laid out. The prices are decent in today's economy. The staff are phenomenal. They are very friendly and willing to help. Some of my favorites are Nadine, Jonathan, Kim and Colby. This is my main go to store. Thank you for being in our community.”

“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.”

“Al and Ahmed are the best! I was in town for the 2024 ACE and promoting National Retail Solutions and their POS and credit card processing rates and they were so friendly and easy to talk to. Make sure you go visit them and support their local shop”
“Small store with limited items. Needs some organization and perhaps spruced up stock. The owner stands behind her claim of hand slaughtered chicken she sells, which she said she gets from Montreal, hence the 4 stars.”
“Switched back to Sobeys pharmacy from Shoppers Drug Mart because the label warnings Shoppers prints on prescription containers are illegible and Shoppers won't do anything about it. Sobeys warning labels are legible.”

“It's not a big store but has a decent variety of vegan foods and ethnic assortment. Like everywhere a lot of food is waayyy overpriced. Still sometimes you find good deals on fruits in season and some sales. I suppose they are doing the best they can and probably the buyers vote with their money. So if most people go for the unhealthy stuff, that's what drives the supply.
Sadly all grocery stores have a long way to go to match even the average grocery store in Toronto. What's most upsetting is that here in Halifax you can hardly find local produce. Most is from Ontario and such.”
“One of the best places for fresh meat and food! I can hardly believe I'm living in Canada and getting such an amazing deal: 1 kg of mixed grill for just $23! I once paid nearly $60 for just half a kilogram of beef grill in Edmonton. Many other places charge exorbitant prices for similar food. It’s completely unexpected to find such generous portions, high quality, and delicious food at this price. While you might not agree with all their methods—since people come from diverse cultures with their own preferences—there's no denying this is the best place for high-quality halal meat at an unbeatable price, comparable to Gateway prices. Plus, their food corner offers incredibly reasonable pricing, so much so that you’ll wonder if this is even possible in Canada!”

“They simply have everything.. great customer service & endless collection of allI also ordered mix mashaweh ( kafta & chicken) best I've had and I know food .”
“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.”
