“This place brings me and the whole family joy. The owners care so much about their clients. They live in the neighbourhood, and it show, They go out of their way to stock the shelves with what the community wants. Sometimes, when I'm waiting for my wife, the shop owner will come out to give a little treat to our puppy.”
“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”
“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.”
“This place is like the polar opposite of Costco and to me that's wonderful. Amazing variety of foods, the produce selection is quite vast. I'd you're someone who willing to try foods you've never seen or heard of and possibly even question its an earth food, come here. Their premade meals are great. I bet you could have a different dish each night for a month and then some”
“I always shop here. Today, I dropped my credit card near the register without realizing it, but a female staff member ran after me and returned it to me. Thanks to her, I didn’t lose my card. Thank you so much!🙂”
“Keeping our house full of fresh fruits and veggies and at affordable prices. Our favourite shop on the Danforth and the kindest, hardest-working family business in the neighbourhood. If you’re not buying your produce here yet, make the switch! Our family loves Dragon!”
“Was my first time at this location, I went for curiosity and see what this store might have I was there on Friday around lunch time and store looks very quiet, stoked well and clean They carry many international products, fresh produce and so much more ??????????? I’ll be back to get some groceries ??”
“A Clean, Well Organized Store with Great Selection! I don’t shop at this Metro regularly because I generally find the prices higher than some other grocery stores in the area. However, whenever I do come here, I find it to be a very clean, well organized and pleasant supermarket with a great selection of almost everything. The store always looks fresh and nicely arranged. The produce, bakery and other departments are presented very well, and everything looks appealing. There is a good variety of products throughout the store, and I have always found the staff friendly and helpful. One of the main reasons I end up coming here is when I need something for a special occasion. It is very handy when you suddenly need to pick up a cake for someone’s birthday or another celebration. They also have a very good selection of flowers, which makes it convenient to pick up several things for an occasion in one stop. The location at Kennedy Commons is another advantage. It is right near Highway 401 at Kennedy Road, with ample parking, so getting in and out is quite convenient. Yes, you may pay a little more for some items compared with other supermarkets, but you are also getting a clean store, excellent selection, fresh and attractive displays, good staff and a very convenient location. Overall, a very nice Metro and one that I especially appreciate when I need something for a birthday or special occasion.”
“Big store with a good layout. I went back months later and found that there was a security guard patrolling the cashier area. It's kinda sad to see...”
“My first and only grocery store experience in Canada. It reminded me of HEB in its own way. I loved it. Cute and clean and had a lot of store brand items to try. Got everything I needed to being back home for a good Canada snack haul.”
“I’ve been coming here for basically 2 years because I study nearby. The staff are so so kind and sweet and lovely. Hazel is very very kind and helpful, I’m happy there’s such a nice little store to pop by. Really sweet people”
“This compact version of the popular Korean grocery chain packs a lot into a small footprint. Located near Yonge and Eglinton, it’s perfect for quick stops and specialty finds. You’ll find fresh produce, Korean snacks, ready-to-eat meals, and staples like kimchi and ramen. The hot food counter is a standout—great for grabbing a tasty lunch or dinner on the go. Prices are a bit higher than mainstream grocers, but the quality and uniqueness make it worth it.”
“This is the best metro in the area! Sadly, I have not received the same service, hot food table and organization at other locations. Teresa who I see often its so great at her job and as a person. Always nice to see her smile and deal with her. I pass other metros in my daily drives and make a point to go this location for the selection and the people.”
“One of the best FreshCo stores I’ve been to so far. The store is clean, well organized, and the produce and groceries feel fresh and well stocked. The free underground parking for up to 1 hour is also a great convenience.”
“What a great place to find Asian and Canadian snacks, fresh packaged sushi, rice bowls, an assortment of cold beverages to name a few. I wish I had more time to browse. The store itself is clean, brightly lit and the staff are friendly.”
“Best store for Asian products! I really love the variety of fresh meat they offer, especially the goat meat. Everything is fresh and there are so many options to choose from. I highly recommend everyone visit this store at least once. You won’t be disappointed”
“Wide variety of reasonably priced products, good service and timely restocking makes this store competitive. Some of the ethnic foods are sold close to their expiry date.”
“This is my go-to neighbourhood butcher in the upper Forest Hill neighbourhood. They have really high quality meat and a decent fish selection. The butchers are super knowledgeable and helpful. Note: this is a kosher grocery store, so they do not have any pork products or shellfish, but I haven't found myself missing any of these things! They also seem to have a pretty expansive hot and cold deli which I haven't checked out, but it does look good.”
“Staff are super helpful and they have anything you would need for Latin dishes. I got fresh tortillas (made by the owner), plantains, Queso of different kinds and salsa!”
“The workers here are so lovely. Made for a great shopping experience. Especially Maria from the deli and hot foods section, talking with her made my day ☺”
“I have stopped buying fruit at Loblaw's - the stock is NEVER ripe. Everything is as hard as a rock. The mom-and-pop fruit stands offer ? bananas ?, mango ?, avocado ? and peaches ? that are ready to eat. Fruitland is busy all day, one is certain to find the stock well rotated and displayed.”
“The store is clean, well-organized, and has a good variety of groceries and everyday essentials. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the checkout process is usually quick and smooth. Convenient location with everything you need for regular grocery shopping. Overall, a good experience!”
“I visited this location for the first time in years and had forgotten how large it is! Great selection and layout. The cashier also kindly helped me with packing my grocery bags.”
“If you're in the College and Spadina area and need to pick up groceries, consider giving this TNT location a try. Located on an upper level, it is easy to access with either elevator or escalator. Abundance of options with fresh fruits and veggies, meat, convenience items, a ton of snacks, and a hot food section. You can grab a pre-packaged hot meal or scoop and weigh with plenty of meat, veggie, and carb options. Fresh baked goods are also available here as well as dairy, tofu, household items, beauty and more. You may not think it looks big from the outside but there's more than enough! There is also a small seating area downstairs on the main level. If you drive, be sure to let the cashier staff know so they can validate your parking.”
“Great place to shop. Nice employee. Clean place. Most of sale products are available. Should put, limit on the sale products so people don't buy large quantities for personal businesses.”
“The store is very nice overall, has everything you need, however you need to beware in the morning everytime I shop between 7-10 there’s always this lady in a wheelchair hanging out by the bread section. At first she was nice just chatting but when I asked her to move so I can reach something she started giving me attitude. I’m not sure why she’s there everytime I go as I’ve never seen her actually purchase anything. I don’t get why the staff just lets her linger around as she is very rude, creates an unnecessary obstacle in such an already crowded place and leaves an unpleasant smell everytime. I know I sound rude, but I’ve seen the same lady waking around the roncy area so I think she uses the chair for sympathy points.”
“if you cook your own food, this is a paradise for you. this store has all kinds of spices you require to cook bengali, and north east african dishes! PRICING: their products are reasonably priced compared to other grocery stores in the neighbourhood. VARIETY: they have a diverse and long range of products that you require in daily cooking. however, at times the stock gets over but they refill in relatively short time. STAFF: their staff is friendly. despite of seeing a lot of reviews saying they are rude- I DISAGREE. given their geographic origin, this is how they speak and this is how their body language is. they are not rude. just be patient and have some time in hand when you go to do grocery. SPECIALS: they have seasonal bengali veggies and fruits. the meat section always has fresh and HALAL meat. to conclude- it’s a good store and i have been doing grocery from here for years. highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“A few months ago, I moved to Parkdale with my partner, and this store is the best in the neighborhood. Great service and prices! I get off work very late at night, and they’re still open, which gives me the chance to buy beer and food for my dinner and breakfast. Thanks, guys!”
“I normally shop here as my one stop shop for groceries. The location is a lot cleaner than many Freshco’s and has a wide variety for different ethnic foods. I gave 4 stars because I think at times the quality of the fruits could be better, especially leaving a lot of the berries with mold. The fruits usually are low stock, and have many times had to compromise with something bruised.”
“Young man named Max used to work here for years, I believe he left around a year or so ago - he always helped me with items and inquires about stock. Made my experience great!”
