“This LCBO location in the Leaside East York area is one of the best in selection, it is massive of selection of all alcohol and wines.
Customer service is impeccable.”
“These guys are simply the best.
Many have commented about their great experiences, and I could easily add mine (as I feel the same)! However, to avoid repetition, I'll comment on additional aspects not typically mentioned.
I'm familiar with other similar businesses, and can compare from a position of experience. Their facilities are superb- such as the bottle fillers and corking equipment (on the customer side). And the equipment is very well-maintained and a pleasure to use, there's no concern about a breakdown during the customer experience.
I'm also familiar with their processing procedures and techniques- beyond excellent! They have an extremely high attention to detail and always implement the best procedures per documented best practices and their solid judgement. Sanitation and hygiene are outstanding. And if it occurs to them that there's an even better way to do something (to produce an even higher-quality product, for example), they're always tweaking and experimenting (on their own batches) towards continued improvement. The end products to the customers are high-quality, and a disappointing or sub-standard wine should never be a concern.
A lot of other shops are content with simply grinding out whatever is profitable to them, often with whatever is the easiest from their side. In contrast, these guys are very innovative and frequently experiment with new things. For me personally, there are some specific examples that have been extremely satisfying. It's always neat to hear what they're up to or thinking about!
On the business side, their products are very reasonably priced; and they are both very pleasant to deal with. They have a passion for what they do, and it's very obvious in how they deal with customers. In other words, James and Jeff are a couple of really nice guys! And very knowledgeable with not only the wine-making business, but many matters in general (which often spills over into improved wine making!).
You can't go wrong by visiting this shop!”
“Regularly come to this store for Sodastream refills - best price and helpful, convenient service. Friends who make their own wine swear by Sheppard Wine Works. Thank you”
“I needed 4 x 1 Gallon glass bottles to transfer wine into
Plenty of parking which is always nice
The store was will laid out and service was excellent
5 Stars well done”
“Great selection, knowledgeable staff. One of the best places to buy wine in the city. Glad this LCBO is close by, but worth the trip to our neighbourhood if you aren’t local.”
“Great selection, good prices, wines have always been of good quality, free delivery to Alberta some weather delays in winter but they are always well packaged and have all been delivered safely. I would highly recommend.”
“It’s a rather limited varieties of wine than the usual location I go to. Nevertheless it’s good enough. I was there to see if they carry my fav Persian coconut rum but I found something new from this brewery. I hope to try it. I grabbed my usual moscato today.”

“I was here to watch curling. This is small, quaint club nestled amongst houses in High Park. You could blink and miss. The driveway in and out is a bit of squeeze.”
“I hadn't been in for a while but came in tonight (previous experiences were mixed), and I have to say the staff were extremely friendly - definitely brightened my day! Felt comfortable, which is like a breath of fresh air considering un-friendly people are now, post-covid. But I was impressed!”
“This is a massive hidden Gem in Toronto - Besides the wine selection which is fantastic, you can sit at the bar and order food and sit there drink your wine and chill. TANYA might be the best bar tender wine knower that I've seen in a while. She really make the place for me.”
“Had a great time and experience at the Dufferin location. They put on a free coffee event and I took the opportunity to pick up a bottle of the Alentejo for our dinner. The staff was very nice, helpful and friendly. A very warm and contemporary vibe. Excellent patio and service. The staff was helpful and making suggestions, highly recommend a visit.”
“This store is conveniently located across the street from Home Depot – one stop shopping!
The selection here is good, compared to other locations. Large walk-in freezer, and returns area is usually has no lineup.
My only beef, is the taxes are no longer included in the price, and are now added on aftward - but that's more of a systemic issue rather than a store specific issue.”
“Yesterday my wife and I went to the Beer Store at 529 Oakwood Avenue to return some bottles and to pick up some beer. We were greatly assisted by one of the staff members. I did not get his name, unfortunately, but I would guess that he is in his 50s. Anyway, he was very kind, friendly and helpful. He went far above and beyond his duty, looking after our empty bottles from the moment that we went in the door and offering to carry my beer to my vehicle. We will always go to the Oakwood location, and we hope that this fine gentleman is on duty. He is a credit to the Beer Store, and you are lucky to have him on staff.”
“Nelson, along with 30.50 Imports, offers an outstanding selection of wines. The service is excellent, with Nelson always ready to share his expertise and provide recommendations that pleasantly surprised me. This is truly a fantastic team of individuals who possess a deep understanding of wines. I highly recommend their services.”
“I had a great time there. I wish the people offered me advices, but i'm not making a big deal since I was in discovery mode. The place is filled with high end and nice products. I will def go there again. You should save this place in your favourites”
“The best lcbo in the city . I make the extra effort to come here for all my restaurants purchases . Riva and Les always go out of there way . They always have full inventory and easy to find all your bottles . Such a great staff there . Thanks again!!!

“Plenty stock of all sorts and vintages,foreign and local(no USA products)
Great selection of local and foreign beer.Staff very efficient and at least 4 cashiers on duty if needed.
Easy free parking ,and wheel chair access.Serbed all my requirements for over 22 years.”
“Helpful staff, small selection of wine from the nearby Niagara region. Since I didn't recognize any of the options, the staff was happy to provide recommendations. The shelf labels show the amount of sugar (i.e. dryness) in each wine. I always thought I liked 'dry' red wine - thanks to this store, I learned that what I actually like is high-tannin red wine.”
“I would say this is one of the nicer LCBO stores in Toronto. It’s very well stocked with an impressive selection of wines and top shelf products. It’s always a quick in and out here which I find nice because it can get busy being so close to the beaches! The staff are generally very friendly. I would say though on a busy hot day in the summer, know what you want before going in to ensure you are not stuck in line all afternoon.”
“In the times of covid, they were very well organised and protected the employees and customers. I couldn't find the beer I was looking for thankfully it is a liquor store so I found some other poison!”

“Outstanding Service from Natalie at LCBO
Natalie was the acting manager today at LCBO and made my return transaction incredibly smooth. I only had a picture of the receipt, and the purchase was made at a different location. Since the barcode wouldn’t scan, she had to manually enter all the information herself.
She handled everything professionally and efficiently, without any hesitation. I truly appreciate the extra effort she put in to help me. Without her, I would have wasted time going to another location.
Thank you again, Natalie — your customer service was exceptional!”
“I have had the pleasure of visiting this location a few times this week. Each time Cole has helped me. He is knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. All the staff are but Cole has been my helper this week and it’s been appreciated.”
“I feel like this store is missing a perfect drink to sell, beatbox ! They have lots of yummy flavours like blue raspberry, iced tea and green apple ! I think Canadians would love to have them in the lcbo !”

“My Wine rack on the way home from work. Love this place. Staff are always friendly, offering samples and suggesting varieties.
The young blonde woman with tattoos is always so helpful and in a good mood! Would def recommend.”
“Huge shoutout to the wonderful employee who helped me today! I was picking up three 30L Sapporo kegs and he kindly offered to help me get them to my car. He loaded all three into my trunk without a second thought.
It was such a kind and helpful gesture that I truly appreciate. This kind of service makes all the difference. Thank you so much! Have a good long weekend!

“We love coming to this location of LCBO even though we just come to pick up our order the entire staff is super friendly specifically Nick, he is exceptionally nice and helpful!”
“I visit this LCBO almost every day since I live nearby. I could easily buy everything at once, but I keep coming back because the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.
After a long day of work, stopping by feels like coming home. A quick chat and a simple hello really complete my day.
Best LCBO in the area—highly recommend!”
“Stopped in a few weeks ago to pick up some coolers and wasn’t sure which ones were most popular. Keegan helped me out and was super knowledgeable, polite and friendly. While browsing I also met Tyler, who greeted me and asked if I needed any help. That kind of customer service really makes a difference when you’re not familiar with the products. The store is clean, well-stocked and both Keegan and Tyler made the experience excellent.”
“The service is so nice and warm no matter the weather outside. Vintages section for Whiskey and Wine is well organized and the place is clean and bright. Lovely layout to the store for the space, and usually great finds in the cabinets. The beer captains have a solid selection.”
