Whoever does not like Ikea is either too rich to shop here or was never a kid at heart. Ikea is a massive warehouse full of Stuff!!! It has super cheap food and super cheap things for your home. Bedframes, sofas, tables, chopsticks, knives, shelves, and the list goes on and on. The quality is not the best but it is also reflected in the price. Come here and play some hide and seek but just make sure you do not get caught... haha! read more

Worst retail experience of my life. Bought a kitchen and arranged for delivery, was promised 4 different delivery dates before they actually showed up. After each no show - which cost lost wages and vacation time spent waiting instead of on vacation we had the pleasure of calling their customer service number to get our delivery figured out only to be on hold for HOURS each time. Finally the fourth time they showed up. Disgusting service all the way around - surprised they are still in business. I will never spend another cent with that company it was beyond disgusting the way I was treated. read more

WORSE DELIVERY EVER I order from Ikea and my items were supposed to be delivered last week saturday. but it was delayed and changed to tuesday and on tuesday they called me saying that they were not able to load the items onto the truck in morning, so the date was changed to saturday. On saturday, no one showed up with the delivery items and the worse part is, i did not receive any phone call in regards to the whereabouts of my purchased items. I dont think this is right for the company because i paid for my items to be delivered and those delivery guys also get paid to do the delivery. I should have been notified if it was not going to be delivered on that day because i spent the whole evening and night waiting on my furnitures and nothing ended up coming. It happened 3 times already and since i live in a condo, i have to book the moving elevator and i have already paid 3 times deposit for the elevator and having all 3 times canceled because of ikea's sudden delay call. The delivery for Ikea is really below what i expected it to be. I have paid what i needed to and i believe that the responsibility for delivering my items is on IKEA. Today read more

This place has changed my life. When I was young I went here to enjoy Swedish food and furniture. My kids love ikea. And I always will love ikea. read more

I've been going there off and on for 12 years and have usually enjoyed my experiences there. Only once I had to go back because something was missing in a box. Going with friends is always fun! Definitely check online or call ahead to make sure what you want is in stock so you don't waste your time. I got some bookcases but the inserts were sold out. Of course eating there is always fun and cheap! read more

Love coming to IKEA for lunch! Reasonably priced, tastes great and very spacious. Perfect for families as there is enough room for strollers. Lots of seating, no need to fight with anyone. Kids food include drink and a cone! How amazing is that?! Breakfast is $1! read more

$1 breakfast (before 11am) and $2.99 Fish & chips on Thursdays after 2pm. And who can forget their meatballs with gravy and lingonberry jam? When I can eat a full meal with only pocket change, I never complain. Nuff' said. read more

It can get hectic in here but there is a wide selection of products and great service. I love the staged rooms which give you an idea of how to arrange the products. The food they offer if your needing a break after a long shop is delicious! My fave is for sure the Swedish meatballs. read more

I have been going to IKEA restaurant for years. Not only I visit the restaurant when I go shopping there, but most times I go there, just to eat as better than going to a fast food restaurant. Though I have not tried all their dishes, their meals in general are sizable, delicious and good value for the money. I do like their new coffee, much better than the old one. The only issue I have is the restaurant always crowded and long lineup, but that's understood as people find value in going there. I highly recommend visiting the restaurant, especially when you go shopping there. read more

Decent place to have a bite to eat while shopping. Their store layout is like a long maze. There's one entry way and one exit. The cafeteria style area provides a nice break as you navigate the store. I had Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes. It was slightly better than frozen food at the grocery store. Price was cheap. You can refill and have as much coffee or soft drinks as you want for a dollar. Busy with many families. read more

IKEA - Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes - Desserts Near Me - North York, Ontario

As a student living downtown, this place is a lifesaver. Why spend $90 at bed bath and beyond for bedsheets? Why buy crappy cutlery at the dollar store? And to top it off, they have a free shuttle service to the nearest subway station, so you don't need anything more than a token to bring your loot home. Yes there is some criticism, maybe, but being where I am in life I really can't afford to be picky. Besides, $1.50 for a hot dog + drink? Only in an insufferably capitalist society, but I don't care. I'll buy fair trade coffee when I actually make money. read more

Lets be honest we all come here for the food!! I got the sweedish meatballs with fries and they are always fresh and tasty.

This Ikea store is a furniture showroom, a retail store, a warehouse, and a cafeteria-style restaurant. The meals and snacks served are delicious and good value. You gotta try their Swedish meatballs at least once! The showroom and retail space are brightly lit and spacious, making for a comfortable shopping experience. It's a fun place to shop for home durable goods, from small things like picture frames to big things like kitchen counters. read more

Large parking spaces available through out the area. The baby play room is a nice addition where I can drop my kids off. The $1 breakfast is definately a steal. Employees can sometimes hard to find or get help since they are always so busy and not enough available. This is also the same as when checking out. But again that's almost the same as any other IKEA I been too read more

Always busy. Hard to find an associate. Inventory often low. On the plus side, I love the food court. Great selection, relatively clean and friendly staff. Although I wish they'd stick to one version of the salmon dish. read more

It seems that everyone who gets things delivered here are unsatisfied, and there is a reason for that. ikea hires completely incompetent delivery drivers. The incident I had to deal with was very unprofessional. DO NOT use their delivery service! Their drivers didn't want to bring my things up to my unit. They were complaining the whole time, arguing, and drove away. The ikea employee on the phone told them to come back and re deliver and they returned...but didn't want to deliver. Luckily they offered me free re delivery but I decided to get a refund instead. I have to wait until they ship the items back in the store before they even process the return, just like someone here complained about too. I didn't sign the paper, I didn't receive the items, I am not responsible for what their drivers do...yet, I still have to wait to get my refund. read more

If you make it through the car-nage that is their parking lot, you will find plenty of cheap, flat-pack furniture. Complete waste of time.

I ordered 5 pieces from Ikea, a mattress, a bed frame, wooden boards for the frame, a desk and a chair. The order was placed on August 29th and they said they could deliver it on the same day or anytime really so we put it down as the 5th. Come the 5th, the delivery people come with my stuff and I was excited to move in to my new place. But noticeably missing were my mattress and chair and the delivery people said it wasn't their fault but the warehouse people didn't give it to them. Now 2 weeks later, I've called them more than 15 times now, and I'm always on hold for anywhere from 30-80 mins before I actually spoke to a human. The first few times I was told they were "tracking" my items. This takes about 5 days and then I find out the item is out of stock. Finally 4 days later it is in stock so I call them non stop, each time being met with the same condescending respond "i'll put a request in for you but I can't actually set up a delivery time because this is just a call center". Now 4 days after calling them 2+ times a day to try to set up a delivery time I wonder if they'll actually ever deliver my items. They told me I could get my items refunded if I go to their store which is an hour away from where I live but I will not be refunded my the delivery fee which was $100 ($40 service+$60 delivery). It just seems ridiculous to me because the only reason I got delivery was because I can't exactly lug a mattress home by myself. They are not willing to compensate for their errors at all either. The only thing I get after being on hold for over an hour and talking to someone for 10 minutes is either they (the person on the phone) can do nothing about it but won't transfer me to someone who can do something, or they'll "put in a request for me". Which I believe actually does nothing because I have had so many requests put in already. Now a day shy of 2 weeks after the day my stuff was supposed to be delivered they tell me that neither of the 2 items I wanted are in stock anymore and I have no idea when they plan to deliver the items if ever. Never get delivery from Ikea! Even if they mess up they will not bother to fix it and they obviously don't care about their customers at all since they already have such a huge customer base. read more

We were all excited about purchasing new wardrobes for our bedroom. The sales person was quite helpful, explained our options, and we were very happy with everything when we left the store. We had invested over $1,000 in new cabinets, and we were paying IKEA to deliver and assemble them. The first delivery went off without a hitch. We thought we had booked the installer for the next day, but apparently we made a mistake, as they didn't arrive until the next week. (our fault not their's) When the installer did arrive, he unpacked the first frame, and announced it was damaged. So was the second. Then, we insisted he open all the boxes, and check for other damage, but they were fine. We called, and they agreed to send out replacements at no charge. However, that meant five days living with no closets or dressers. When the second shipment arrived, it too was damaged, and this being a Sunday, there was no one to discuss it with. When we called, we offered what we thought was a reasonable compromise - we would agree to a 3rd replacement so long as IKEA agreed to open and inspect the pieces for structural damage prior to leaving their warehouse. They refused, citing 'the integrity of the boxes'. Long story short, we got no satisfaction, and still haven't found a replacement anywhere, so we continue to live out of boxes, bags, and bathtubs. To add insult to injury, IKEA wouldn't reverse the charges until they had received and checked all the material they had sent us. I was all excited but now, I will no longer buy anything from IKEA that I can't open and inspect on site. read more

I love shopping at Ikea because when I am tired I can just go to the cafe and enjoy the free coffee (by signing up for a free membership) with unlimited refill. Too bad! For healthy reason what do people say? 2 cups per day...? Also the cost of the meat ball combo (includes gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed potato, and meat ball) is only around $14. It is a very good deal and I always end up buying 2 x combos to take home with me. read more

this place is not bad, good furniture with nice prices, but the food there is not good at all, we had some chicken and fries and I think it was a week old, did not like the service either, the only good thing was that they had everything in one place. Also they have children's play ground. read more

horrible phone costumer's service , keep you on line up to 30 min. , they deliver at the very last minute of the delivery time window of four hours, after waiting 3 hours and 58 minutes. If you want to order an assembling service you have to go in person to there damned Etobicok, North York or Vaughan store, doesn't help if you leave in the heart of downtown Toronto. Never again read more

I love Ikea for it's excellent selection, quality and price, BUT today I was very disappointed when the refund department (both the clerk and manager) refused to process my very reasonable refund request. My nine month pregnant wife, who purchased a product a few days ago she wished to return, was at home bed ridden, so she couldn't come with me to the store. I brought 1) the original receipt; 2) the product in unopened packaging; 3) her credit card number used to purchase the items and 4) my credit card (linked to the same credit card account). At first the Ikea agent told me it was "impossible" for Ikea to issue the refund, and then when I told them I had done the refund successfully at other stores using my card (linked to same account that my wife used) AND called my credit card company for them to explain to the merchant they had all the material necessary to process the refund, the manager acknowledged she was technically *able* to do it, but still refused, saying it was inconsistent with their policy. When I asked to see their policy, I was referred to back of receipt, which of course said nothing of the sort. They were being extremely difficult to my wife and me at a time in our lives where we really would have appreciated some basic human compassion and common sense. read more

Excellente selection but very poor service. And, do not use their delivery service; it is a nightmare. Everything arrived broken. Took for ever to get this resolved - time of the phone, back and forth to the store, etc. read more

Again, I wanted to make a purchase of a desk. I went to the store, they couldn't help me out. They said I could call and get the $59 delivery for the item which was fine since I probably couldn't get the item home myself. I called to order it and they said they didn't accept payment info over the phone and I'd have to order only with $100 shipping. That doesn't seem right. IKEA seems to like to make things difficult and inconvenient, only to give themselves more money. Or less customers read more

I moved at the beginning of December and had a problem in that I had nothing to sleep on. I made my boyfriend steal his parent's SUV and we were off to Ikea. I'd actually never been to Ikea before. So much cool stuff. I think we spent an hour just looking at faucets and arguing over which ones we liked best. Anyway, we found the beds and the foutons and tried them all out. I eventually found something I liked and it was sold out so I chose another one. Then I was like hey... how do I pay for this and get it to the car? Then I found out you need to walk 12 miles to the self-serve warehouse thing and handle it all yourself. Definitely losing a star for that. I don't like handling heavy stuff myself. Thank God I brought the man. All in all it was a smooth experience. We also decided to eat because we're both crazy cheap and heard that Ikea food was made for us. The food is soooo cheap. I approve. I had some mac and cheese for like $3 and a mushroom and cheese crepe for like $1.50 and all you can drink drinks for like $1. The other half had some salmon with hollandaise. It's not gourmet food but I'm living for that mac and cheese. It was overcooked but delicious and sooooooo cheap. Screw Wholefoods and their $15 mac and cheese. I've found a new calling. I'll go back. read more

We went to Ikea to Buy almost a hole new house spent more than 8K and people were very helpful and nice. They delivered within 24 hours and did the assembly with less than 48 hours after the purchase, one part of the bed was damage so I called them. They said it would take 8 days to the part to be delivered by fedex. I said it was impossible, because I was moving to a new apartment so they said there was no way to help me, that was it! The other choice was to get the part there, so I had to rent a car that cost me more than CAD 100.00, get another night at the Airbnb for extra 150.00. I went to the store as they told, had to wait in two different lines to set the change and rebook the assembly, after that they sent me to their warehouse to pickup the part, the place was 6 km from the store. The assembly was booked for 3 days later. THEY LOST THE CLIENT(me)! By the way, they gave me a CAD 30,00 gift card... read more

IKEA Hejne/Gorm shelves in 2017 are actually about 30% less wood, less strength, less durability and shorter than they were even 6 or 7 years ago. It is shocking how feeble these shelves have become (at almost double the price). Previously they were a pretty respectable college or basement shelf. They were strong and stiff and would hold a great deal of weight. Now they are just crap. The wood splits when you screw in the bolts. There is NO stability as the verticals are so weak they waver. I would NOT recommend them to anyone. It used to be a strong, dense pine, now it's like a model airplane. This is representative of most of their furniture. read more

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. Bought multiple furniture items 3 weeks ago and scheduled delivery and assembly. Delivery came with pieces missing. Scheduled delivery of the missing pieces for another day. Assembly guy came in, found multiple defective components and assembled what he could. I called Ikea and arranged for defective pieces to be replaced at the same time as the missing pieces. Delivery was never received (twice!!!) because ikea never placed the items on the truck and never informed us that the delivery would not occur...TWICE!!!Today, finally got the delivery (second assembly appt is scheduled for tomorrow) and guess what?! Not only did they send the wrong items, some stuff wasn't delivered at all! On top of it, the delivery guys were frustrated and refused to deliver what they did have right. Waiting for ikea to get back to me now. It's been 3 hours. I am beyond frustrated. I used to love Ikea and would go at every opportunity. Not any more. No one knows what they're doing. Over the last 3 weeks, I've had multiple people try to resolve the issue, give me incorrect advice (tip: delivery guys DO NOT TAKE AWAY ASSEMBLED ITEMS, contrary to what the customer service rep told me over the phone). The head doesn't know what the tail is doing. I can't believe this is what $5000+ gets you. Disappointed. read more

We bought their pax system which held out for 3 months and then on a weekend the shelves fell and destroyed my stuff-nothing heavy. After months of deliberation they decided to give me a $100 gift certificate to IKEA. The damage was about a $1000.00. To take them to court wasn't worth it but I would never buy anything from them again! There customer service is terrible. read more

This is for the North York store: I am so beyond frustrated with this store and their delivery company! I had a large delivery on Sunday "between 1 - 5" which they were late for and gave no curtesy call to let me know. Then, two pieces were damaged so I had to request replacements. Which meant waiting around again yesterday between 9 - 1. Of course, they never showed and when I called IKEA they told me they didn't get my pieces into the delivery truck in time. No phone call to let me know that though, just let me wait around all day. So it was rescheduled for today...and again no one showed even though I called the delivery company in the morning to double check everything. Now I have to reschedule again for Saturday. What did they do to apologize to me for having to wait around for three days already?! NOTHING! I am disgusted by the treatment of your customers. Is our time not valuable? Do we not deserve a little respect? I really loved IKEA before this incident and now I feel like your customer service is terrible and your disregard for your customers is unacceptable. read more

It's a staple but the customer service is terrible at this location, which is sadly the only one in the area. The prices aren't that much cheaper than other stores. read more

Located close to the TTC's Leslie subway station (IKEA offers a free shuttle bus from station to store and back every 15 minutes), this location of the popular Swedish home furnishing chain is always full of shoppers every day of the week. Offering affordable home furnishings and accents, although I dislike most of the chain's furnitures, their home accents (rugs, pillows, shams, glasses) are decent enough to pay a visit. A small restaurant and grocery store is located by the store exit, offering shoppers a small variety of food items (the frozen yogurt cones tend to be the most popular). The great thing about this location it is accessable via the TTC (must get off at Sheppard-Yonge station to transfer to Sheppard line) which saves me a lenthy trip to their Etobicoke location. read more

Nothing wrong with the food... but in a day and age of the internet and online shopping IKEA has gone the way of the dinosaur... no phone calls to the store directly to see if they have something physically there. You must have the number handy and if you are trying to call "as is" forget it.. there is no number... bad service for a retailer.. Are they an online store or a bricks and mortar store. Love the food but hate the draconian approach to phone calls. read more

I bought queen size Malm storage bed n mattress n I got delivery after one week n next day assembly n they did n assembly guy came he just fix night table not a bed he made excuse that something wrong with one box part but actually he doent want to fix that n I was not at home only my mom n she can't understand the English so he just run away I came home n I called ikea customer care n she checked that part n that part box was right so she couldn't understand why he didn't fix it n she said u have to change it if he said so...

Breakfast (eggs, sausages and homemade fries) for 1$ is a great deal. Add two pacakes for 1$. I am afraid that for a big guy it could be too small portion, but even with tripple portion it's still pretty cheap. read more

I love this store but way to busy and confusing to get around, like a casino where you cannot find the exit. Some of the quality of the furniture is a little low but so are the prices. A little far out to get to but that is really all the bad I can think of about this place. We bought a really cool "besta" entertainment centre in pieces, we bought the pieces every two weeks with what was left from my paycheck after paying bills. The entertainment centre is huge and I brought it home in pieces on the subway with a cart. I would never be able to do this at any other furniture store! Also some of the furniture can be altered to your liking as my sister bought a TV stand and didn't want the legs that came with it, so I used them on an Ikea coffee table to make it a little higher. I have returned items and they never asked any questions nor did they even open the box you have 45 days to change your mind at Ikea. The food in the restaurant is quite cheap for what you get, if you go to the restaurant 30mins before the store opens there is free coffee and before 11am is a breakfast for .99¢! read more

March 16th went to Ikea, made my list. I was told it was too early to place an order. If you order now, we will charge you $40 storage fee...So I decided to go back but got all the information about shipping and assembling, prices. EVERYTHING. March 23rd Back to Ikea with my list!! First I had brunch. (Kids screaming all around) I started by the As-Is. Bought a Coffee table, storage unit, computer desk, candles, candles and candles (for romantic diners with myself) couch AND cover (If you buy the couch, you HAVE to buy the cover) side tables, leberg, at least 20 mirrors. After 7 hours in the store I'm ready to pay. I spent 40% less than budgeted. So she scheduled shipping and was ready to send me on my way. Until I said how about the assembling? Ikea: You want assembling too? You should've said that before!! Me: Sorry- tired me So finally, she scheduled Delivery Saturday March 30th between 9-5pm Assembling March 31st Yeah!! Done Happy I can go home eat-and finish that bottle. March 26th-27th Ikea called me: The person who scheduled your assembling made a mistake we can't assemble on Easter Sunday. Me: NOT HAPPY. But hey, we all make mistakes. So ok let's find a solution. Ikea: well... we can TRY another time... Me: I'm sorry busy during the week After a few calls: ME: ok - How about you change the shipping to earlier and send the assembling crew Saturday evening. Ikea: OK Me: can you please arrange for afternoon delivery and evening assembling Ikea: Ok but can't guarantee time. March 30th Delivery day! I got a call at 8:30AM. We're/ on our way to deliver your shipment. Are you serious? Can you please come at 12ih? They came at around 10:30ish. Delivery guys put the stuff in the hallway and I waited a few hours. Assembling guy: Sorry the shelves are banded you want us to assemble? Or do you want to return? Me: It'll be hard to reschedule delivery. Ikea + assembling you have to go back to the store to exchange Me: I don't drive, that's why I paid for delivery... So go ahead and assemble. Me + Assemble: called Ikea to report damaged and missing items Nooothinng can be done April 2nd Ikea called me and left a voice message. I called back- I'm not happy at that point. Ikea: can you come to the store? ME: NOOOOO. I wanted to go Steven Slater on them. Ikea: We will deliver Saturday March 6th in the morning. The couch cover will be couriered to you. Me: I feel so special. PISSED April 3rd I called back and was on hold for 52 minutes. Got fed up and hang up. But desperation got the best of me. I called back for another 50 minutes of stupid Ikea commercials (Ikea makes it easy for you to shop, we provide pens and paper. Bring your kids) After a hearing this crap I started my own commercial: At Ikea we make it easy to take your money, our pens are so small, you'll give up and bring your own. At Ikea we know how to steal your money, but you ever try to get good service even the products you paid for... So.... finally I got someone. IKEA CALLED: Out of the blue Ikea called between 12:00 and 1:00. We will deliver March 4th , Wednesday by 5pm Me: ok someone told me Saturday morning Ikea: no March 4th . Me: I'm at work all day... can they please call me before. I will leave work early to meet them. Ikea: OK we will call you. March 4th: No couch cover, no candles. April 4th I called customer service: Your couch cover is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, March 5th , the between 9-5. Me: Sorry, I'm at work all day.9-5 Can you please give me a better EDT. Ikea: Your couch cover is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, March 5th, the between 9-5. ( She kept repeating it, until I gave up asking) Me: I understand, but there's no one at the house to receive it. And it was supposed to be delivered March 4th between by 5. And I left work early to be here to receive because I made arrangement with someone from Ikea... Ikea Customer Service: No, I can't see any notes... I don't know who called you. Desperate me: The guy called me between 12 and 1 pm while I was on my break. Shit I wanted to go Omarosa on them. March 5th nothing, no calls, no couch cover and no candles. Ikea can use all their candles they sale all over the work to burn their behind. I used to LOVE their colors and décor ideas... But now I wish I would send back ALL the stuff I ever bought from them over the years. Store: too many kids running, parents don't care Shipping: guys nice, and accommodating, patience, VERY PROFESSIONAL Assembling: I assembled the tables myself, they did NOT even want to help put the couch box, coffee table, storage unit inside the apartment from the hallway- against company policy they said- They left ALL the boxes and bags around the apartment. I understand it is company policy but having men standing there watching a small framed women dragging boxes doesn't deserve tips. You're no men in my books, ballsless with Ikea pencils Ikea customer service: Needs customer service training. read more

I hate there delivery department with a passion. I went in picked out my order to have them deliver it and find out my ceilings too short, no biggy my fault went in to have them schedule an exchange after I had picked the proper size. Walked in on wednesday and asked them to deliver on saturday as I work monday - friday, they said it was fine and tried to deliver it on thursday, of course I'm not home so they tell me you have to come in again and speak with them to reschedule which is stupid but none the less I come in again on a saturday and tell them to deliver on sunday. I wait at home all day sunday and they call me to tell me sorry we can't delver it I tell them to F off and let me speak to supervisor, they hang up on me. I call back and demand to speak with a supervisor, after arguing with them for half an hour and having to get the supervisor to call me back on a monday I'm furious. How can you make me go through all that and give me no compensation what soever. Nothing done, went in a third time to cancel my order and demand a refunds for everything, I will not shop there again. I would give them zero stars if I could. read more
