Loblaws Carlton Street is a historic supermarket located at the corner of Church and Carlton Street in Toronto. The store is housed in a clean and well-stocked building, offering a wide range of products, including groceries, baked goods, and prepared foods. It features a large space that makes shopping pleasant, with many customers enjoying the variety of options available. The store has a bakery section, cooked foods, and a sushi bar, providing convenient meal choices like in-house pizza, tamagoyaki, and deli meats. Shoppers can also find specialty items such as Kalamata olives, Medjool date rolls, and low-carb bread, although fruit quality can sometimes be questionable with rotten or bland produce sold at high prices. The in-house food options are generally good, with a notable grilled steak and breakfast for around $7.50. The coffee bar offers lattes, though portion sizes and quality are often disappointing, especially since Starbucks replaced the in-house counter. Prices for groceries and other items tend to be high, with some products like pomegranates and chips notably overpriced. The store is sometimes understaffed, leading to long wait times at the checkout, and security issues have been noted with street people helping themselves to food and seating without paying. Occasionally, stock shortages and mislabeled items cause inconvenience. Despite some negatives, the store boasts a good selection of products, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere, especially in the larger, more upscale location favored for its cured meats, cheeses, and bakery items. Overall, it’s a pleasant but expensive shopping destination with some service and stock issues.
Best Loblaws in Toronto. Their bakery is amazing they do two tiered cakes custom for a reasonable price. Their catering is good too. Cheese wall is a must.
