There is also Halal. There is a fishy smell around so I'm not positive all the fish there is fresh and the freezers are overfrozen and not well maintained. It is also mostly Asian centric but they seem to have been expanding to more ethnicities. Anywhos, I like this place ‍

It's your average Food Basics, with a respectable variety of foods, but a level below Zehrs and Real Canadian. An interesting thing I noticed with this store is that dairy products are stored behind fridge doors, which I'm not used to. Cashiers were okay, but seemed not so interactive. They did say thank you for shopping at least.

I purchased from their hot food counter which is basically a Chinese food restaurant. The food was actually tasty and relatively cheap... definitely an easy stop on the way home if you know dinner isn't made. On my second and third visits though... unfortunately the rude customer service staff at the front lost them a star. At bare minimum say hello, thank you or smile. Throwing my receipt at me and pointing instead of replying doesn't work for me, as they spoke to each other about their weekend plans. It's also always a bit difficult as well when the majority of staff throughout the store doesn't speak English. Not the end of the world... I did get many steps in trying to find items myself! Lol All in all though, when I'm in town this store will very likely be a stop every time. Pros: Location (Derry Road & Bronte in Milton) in an outdoor plaza, store layout, cleanliness, selection of items, hot food menu station & taste, prices Cons: Staff (they can work on that), parking can be tricky when they're busy

It's also a lot closer to me now, and the in house brand of "Selection" gives you equivalent or better taste for half the price, so might as well shop at Food Basics whenever you can to save the $$$.

You must either carry their basket or push a cart around. Both are big and bulky and patrons end up running into each other or hitting one another in the very narrow aisles.

I understand that theft has been an issue, but when I show up at the cashier to pay for my purchases, I don't expect to treated with distain and scorned for having no basket.

Wow...you would never think it but there is a great deli inside this place…read more I've been in New Hamburg off and on for a year now. I've basically been to most of the places that I can get a lunch. I was struggling with even to bother having any food...I was stuck with Food Boredom. A person there recommended that I go to Cloverleaf and hit the deli. This place has it all. Food, drinks, frozen food galore, and most importantly, a deli counter that makes hot soups, great sandwiches and yummy chilli - plus a small salad bar. I've had the Reuben and on my most recent visit, I had the Turkey Ranch sandwich. Both times with the chilli - can't get enough of it. This is a local hot spot for lunch as there is usually a line up and about 6-8 busy ladies running behind the counter prepping delicious foods. If you like pepperoni or mini-sausage sticks, they have well over a dozen different varieties to try - lots of sample so you get what you like. I picked up the spicy pepperettes - would take a picture for you but uhm...they're all gone!!! If you happen to be on your way to Stratford and see a McClown's halfway there from Kitchener, pull in and go there. You won't be disappointed with the deli. Cheers!
