Loblaws Dundas Street is a clean, large grocery store with a great selection and great staff. It offers lower prices and better food than some competitors, with more cashiers. Customers enjoy the delicious baked goods, like cakes and macaroons, and the quality items from the Flashflood offerings. The store also has a Starbucks and a seating area. However, some find it not what it used to be, noting the reduction in areas like the flower and gift shop. Issues include occasional stale pastries despite good expiry dates, hard avocados, and a lack of shopping baskets. Service can be inconsistent, with some employees described as cranky and snippy, while others are very helpful. The Starbucks inside often gets orders wrong, takes a long time, or is just opening in the afternoon. Many criticize the prices as wild and feel there is price gouging, citing much higher costs for items like ham. The parking lot setup is also seen as dangerous and inconvenient, requiring customers to cross traffic.
