“Unfortunately, it’s a quite a distance from where I live but every opportunity I get when in around the area, I make sure to visit. I find they have products that you can’t find in any other stores. Their produce, meat and seafood prices are fair. Fresh fish and not frozen is always available. Staff are polite and friendly. Love this place.”
“Small Caribbean store with very friendly chatty owner (Captain Sunshine ). I wish the selection of fresh fruits and fresher vegetables were available but I know sourcing it can be hard unless you arein Toronto. Did buy a nice Dutch pot and some Jamaican sweet treats. Will be back here again for sure”
“My wife and I have been going to Food Village for over 20 yrs., Naquib, Kadijah and Shafique are simply the best and so are their sons, especially the youngest, true blessings to have them in the neighborhood. The meat department never disappoints.”

“I mostly go to Metro for flower arrangements, plants and ready to go meals. Great selection and always fresh. We have also ordered many catering platters over the years and have never been disappointed.”
“This review is long overdue. I have shopped here for years. I worked in the Glebe in 2015 and again in 2022 through 2024. This is one of the nicest grocery stores in the city. The selection is excellent for the size of store and they have some specialty products I rarely see. Kira checked me out and expertly packed my bags, as I had the pleasure of shopping today! I was able to get the Guinness for my Irish stew too! Ran into Ian, such a terrific manager, and was assisted by Don who helped me take my groceries out down a very slushy sidewalk and waited until my Uber arrived. He helped load up and saw me safely on my way home. I really can't say enough about the service way more then 5. I would give them 100 stars. Thank you!”
“Great variety of grocery items at a really good price. The meat section maintains all the food safety and hygiene protocols for which I always prefer to purchase my meats from MF Foodmart. They are also accommodating to special requests and takes order over phone if needed. Great staff, helpful and courteous.”
“We found this place through a random Google search when we were looking for some Filipino items. We were making Kare Kare (peanut stew) and badly needed Bagoong (shrimp paste) and these guys had it!! It's a nice little store and the workers here are super nice. If you need some Filipino items, this store can be your lifeline!”
“I like this Metro. They carry some products that are surprisingly hard to find elsewhere, including an ice cream made without additives, which I really appreciate. I also like their ready-to-eat section, with sandwiches and other convenient lunch options. Their fresh produce section is well maintained and offers a good selection of fruits and vegetables. Overall, it's a good grocery store where I can usually find what I'm looking for.”

“BLACKBURN HAMLET ON This is my Metro of choice because of distance, friendly staff , meat dept and choices. some improvement in cleaniness of the outside of the Plaza, as of Fall2025. Thank you as great cashiers; cheerful and helpful. Store owner should consider providing paper bags (for fee) for those who forget their shopping bag, they are more sustainable than plastic. thank you!”
“We had a large order of sandwich trays, vegetable trays, fruit trays and meat and cheese trays. The sandwiches were extremely fresh. We had chicken breast, tuna, salmon, egg salad, chicken salad and chicken cranberry almond. Every single type of sandwich was DELICIOUS!! The fruits and vegetables were all fresh. 100% quality. Metro is now our go to for any sandwich and assorted tray needs. The food was a huge help in the success of our 60th anniversary party for my wife’s parents. The guests remarked how full the sandwiches were. Thanks Metro!”

“This is a full grocery store with both fresh and packaged items. That includes fresh produce; staples such as rice, pasta, and beans; a full selection of meat and fish; snack items; dessert items; and even novelty items such as toys and gifts. There were some items we were not able to find but made a suggestion/request to stock. The aisles are wide and can accommodate several shoppers at once. The checkout process was quick and convenient.”
“It is a very neat and clean store with friendly staff. You may find here all groceries that you need. The fruits are fresh and high quality. I like this store and shop here time to time. The working is hours is convenient”
“I love visiting this store because it stays open until 10pm and I can still get groceries after my night shift! The groceries I bought from this location were mostly fresh and the store is always clean! The cart person was also nice to help me put the cart away at the end of the night.”
“UPDATE: 04.11.2024 I complained on the Freshco website and got a call from the store owner. He asked for receipts and said he is going to investigate the issue with cameras. I think something was presented on scales, so they added 155 grams to every weight they measured. Hope this was not intentional!
ORIGINAL 1* review:
Be careful when you buy fruits and vegetables! I was scammed when I was buying some fruits!
The weight of the fruits was almost doubled on their scales.
When I came back, they confirmed that the “error” was made, returned me the exact amount, did not compensate anyhow the time and gas I spent to come back, and refuse to further investigate the issue!
I suspect that their management is aware of this scam. I will complain since many customers might be affected
You can see on pictures what I bought. For example, one apple weights 325 grams!”
“It's a smaller store, so they don't have much in the way of selection, but they try. Some of their prices are lower than their competitors and some not, pretty standard. Friendly cashiers and the pharmacy staff really shine, it's always nice to be recognized, especially while wearing a mask. 5 stars for the pharmacy.”
“Consistency and kindness go a long way, the staff and how they treat each other at this location is plainly a key to their success. Having shopped here for 15+ years now, they work as a team to get things done, even when things are very busy (which is often). The produce section is always well-stocked, as are the bakery and deli counters, as are the dairy and drinks aisles. The perchance for 80s music at this location is also an amusing quirk (who doesn't want to shop along to the Eurythmics or Tears for Fears?) - overall they do an excellent job under some seriously demanding conditions. Recommend for sure!”
“Ryan, from the fish department, took extra care to help me find the things I needed, he made my experience at T&T excellent. Everyone else was just as kind. Thank you.”
