“Real Gem! High quality nut butters, Large variety of dry fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, herbs. Goid prices for such high quality Amazing place. Very knowledgeable sales personal . The friendliest service ever !”
“A vegan gold mine. Everything you'd ever want, from meats to snacks to frozen stuff. Has become a staple for our shopping! Super nice folks working there as well!”
“Wow! Amazing food and ingredients. I judge places from their croissants and am disappointed more often than not. Freebird croissants are the best I’ve had in the GTA! It’s worth the detour. My iced latte was amazing too.
The only thing that is missing is a little seated area. Even some chairs and tables outside would be great.”

“Had a great experience at this location, largely thanks to Daniela. She really knows her stuff when it comes to health and nutrition and helped me navigate through a lot of options I didn’t fully understand. She explained everything clearly and made sure I was confident in my choice before leaving. Genuinely felt like she cared about getting me the right result, not just making a sale. Highly recommend asking for her!”
“Fresh amazing fruits and vegetables. I normally grab a vegetable here and there whenever I run out for a recipe. But I was at a kid's party and the fruits were so juicy and sweet. When I asked where they grabbed them from the mom said at this market here. Wow, I mean absolute wow. The prices are the best I've seen. I grabbed two quarts of strawberries 🍓 2 for 6. Too many fresh fruit to choose from. I always would grab my fruit from the grocery store and it'llbe a hit or miss... not anymore.
No matter the day or tike the lady is always so friendly and kind.
It's nice to be greeted and thanked. They have Korean treats, dumplings, cereal, chips, dairy and so much more. The videos capture majority of all they had, but I definitely missed a few things. Thank you 😊”
“Seriously. Cannot buy kimchi from anywhere else. It's good fresh and it's good with time too. The meat from this place especially marinated ones are so worth the money. I'd recommend 100%.”
“The store has an amazing variety of products, and the staff are always welcoming. Erik, in particular, has been super nice and helpful, it really makes a difference.”
“First time coming here with friends. We encountered a really good selection of Taiwanese snacks, spices and food. The egg tea reminded me of when I was in Taiwan. The people were helpful and friendly! We also had the popcorn chicken meal and it was amazing! I will definitely come back here ?”
“Wonderful store by wonderful people. Fantastic products, fresh meats and cheese, and everything else you need for dinner. Their fresh pizza dough and garlic bread is particularly amazing! A new favorite”
“Good place for daily groceries. Fresh produce and yummy sandwiches. Would recommend. But I wish they would pay their employees better. Yes it's a retail job but, everyone deserves a living wage.”
“Follow @bredgyeats for more food videos!
You need to get on some of this bagnet, cause who cares about a low-fat diet when pork belly can be rendered this addicting? The skin is absolutely divine, twice-fried for a bubbly, crackly and crispy crunch, which is contrasted by the gooey layer of fat that just melts in your mouth, coating every orifice with a salivating porky aroma. The meat is undoubtedly tender and juicy, and the pungent savory flavours are balanced with a refreshingly sweet all-purpose sauce and an acidic vinegar sauce to cut through the fat. Maybe keto won't be so bad.”
“My partner, four pals and I enjoyed an absolutely stunning evening with Jess learning how to make Cavatelli at Pasta Forever last night. It was so much fun - the perfect balance of interactive and informative with time to sit and relax and enjoy time and food with friends. Jess also provided some incredibly snacks for us to enjoy in between pasta making sessions - I don’t say this lightly but the table focaccia may have been the most delicious bread I’ve ever had in my life. We also got to enjoy the pasta after (with Pasta Forever tomato sauce🤤 🤌) on her back patio which was equal parts rewarding, beautiful and delicious.
If you’re looking for a unique, delicious and highly enjoyable way to spend an evening
In Toronto, I can’t more highly recommend doing a class at Pasta Forever!”
“This is my everyday place. it's close to us, and I LOVE the deli meats, and the butcher counter. Great options for grocery, so friendly! I love that they're always speaking italian, make it all feel more authentic. That's what you want from a local grocer, especially Italian. That they know their stuff. The pasta selection and cheese selection is amazing! The Euro household stuff too, it just takes me right back to Europe! if you live nearby, it should be your daily market. Great local spot.”
“Please doors with good parking. I came right in the morning and the door wasn’t working so I waited outside like an idiot until like somebody came out on the eggs for me to go in. They should at least welcome me like I was there at 8 AM.”
“I highly recommend this grocery store. It has a great selection of organic, healthy, local, fair trade and eco-friendly products that are of great quality. I love that they enable zero waste; for example, the store has options to bring your own containers. I always enjoy each visit and feel like a part of a community. Membership is affordable; you can also shop without membership if you choose.”
“I truly loved their ready-made food. I am usually picky. I was surprised the African spiced cauliflower was so delicious along with their BBQ chicken. YUM!
I ate outside the box if you will.
I would absolutely recommend this unique grocery store.
Welcoming staff and owner, to boot.
I don't live near by, but l do make it a point to drop in when l am in the area.
A taste of Portugal indeed.
Cheer!”

“I would like to shop but that smell through out the mall from Nations grocery would get into everything!
Please stop selling that fruit or whatever is makeing the place not pleasant anymore. Sorry it really reaks.Some might eat, but you don't need it? It's not worth it.
There should be an inviting aroma from the food court.
I don't remember this off-putting experience in past years.
Yuk ?”
“I'm suprised this place doesn't have as many reviews. Jarloth and the team are the Best in class when it comes to service, whether it comes recomending cuts and recipes or even reaching out to let me know when my regular orders arrive before they sell out. 10/10 recommend. Most products are raised and grown grass fed on their own farms.”
“Great store for Italian groceries, meat, prepared foods, deli etc. Visit everytime I'm in town. Specials are good. Meat choice limited but excellent quality.”
“Been here for years . This grocery store has everything and knows everyone because store owners cares to talk to you . ??? The experience is pleasant because of the symphony music playing which gives Highpark vibes .??? ?”
“They always have everything we need! Great selection of organic products, compostable plastic produce/grocery bags and they seperate the perfectly ripe avocados from the not yet ripe ones so you know which ones are ready to eat today! It's a wonderful little shop to have in the neighborhood!”
“Very very fast and friendly service! I bought one of their cute succulent arrangements, and their owner was happy to show me all the options and wrap it up nicely! I definitely recommend this place for beautiful plants at a good price.”
“Clean quiet Japanese grocery store. A lot of hard to find products. I really appreciate the notes below the products explaining what they are. Specifically the soya sauce. They explained and colour coded the notes to make it not confusing. I ended up buying a couple of them as gifts. As they also included what they recommend using the soya sauce for : sashimi, cooking, cold dish, warm dish. Staff were also very polite.”
“Always great prices and quality is beyond compare. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I do wish they opened earlier than 10 am on weekends, though. Why buy produce anywhere else? You don't need to. This is THE place to buy your produce!”
“Great service. Murad , is very professional and he goes out of his to satisfy his customers. He carried my heavy box of groceries to my car! Prices are great. Great variety of east African groceries. I would highly recommend them!”
“Great spot to pick up South Asian groceries. There's good variety — different masalas, spices, and even fruits and vegetables. I come here every month or so to fill up on Indian ingredients. It's reasonably priced and I can find a lot of stuff I won't get at the big box grocery stores. A great place to have in Cabbagetown.”
“I tried the plant-based croissant from Farm Boy and was really impressed. It was golden, crispy, and had a light, buttery flavor that felt just like a traditional croissant. The texture was airy with delicate layers that didn’t dry out, even hours after.”
