Love this place. It is bright. Clean. Spacious. Full of interesting products. They also have…read morespecial added touches - free ice cream and fruit for kids, sometimes free samples, and a great organic/health section. Staff are professional and friendly. They also have amazing meat and bread. The cafe is lovely and resonable. And you can also get a beer, wine, or specialty pop as well. We went to the Ukrainian dinner and it was great for 25 bucks. We definately will be back although it is a bit of a drive. Although to be warned it is pricer than the regular grocery stores. I would say buy your staples somewhere else and grab the meat, bread, cheese, and health products here. And maybe have a nice lunch with a glass of wine. This is one of the few places where I go grocery shopping and leave more relaxed when I go in.

I was checking out at approx. 1245 on 22AUG2026 and a cashier was told to log in by someone at the…read morefront counter as I was passing by, I remember something about "no, I need you to sign in" or something along those lines. I happened to get her line. The cashier next to us made a comment that her coworker who was helping me was going to the bathroom, my cashier responded she was told she wasn't allowed. Excuse me? After I was done, I asked the poor young lady "Are they not allowing you to use the bathroom?" her response was "Because it is busy.". I was HORRIFIED this clearly had to be an oversight. So, when I got to my truck I called and asked to speak to the manager, he identified himself as Ryan. I explained my concern for the well being of staff and he was not interested in the least. When I pointed out that I can appreciate pushing full breaks back due to an increase in customers that is one thing, but restricting staff from using the bathroom is unacceptable, if not illegal. If it isn't illegal, it is defiantly immoral. I suggested that if it was so busy that staff could not use the washroom then maybe he should be out working the cash registers or ensuring adequate staff. Again, Ryan could not care any less and I called him out on that. After I got home and before I wrote this review, I down loaded my dashcam video that has Ryan displaying his toxic attitude and looked up regulations. This doesn't fall under labour standards but it sure as hell falls under Occupational Health and Safety. According to the Government of Canada's Centre for Occupational Health and Safety 'Employers cannot impose unreasonable restrictions on access to washrooms. Any limitations, such as requiring workers to wait excessive periods, restricting access based on productivity targets, or not providing facilities close enough to work areas, may violate workplace regulations. '. So, Ryan if you are reading this keep in mind that people don't quit companies they quit bad managers, which in my opinion you are a bad manager (and human) when you are restricting your employees from using the washroom when needed. Again, if it that busy then you should be out there helping and making sure your staff are treated with respect and dignity. Who knows how long this has been going on for because young adults don't know how their rights generally and there is a power imbalance between a middle aged man and a teenaged girl. I will not be returning to this location as long as this guy is the manager.

It's counter service but there is ample seating in a large open area. There is plenty of windows on the open south side and when the weather is good you can even eat outside on the patio! It's a Filipino place so you order the Chicken Adobo, and I did. Tender and well seasoned stewed chicken on the bone served over sticky steamed rice and coleslaw... so good! The coleslaw has raisins and a peanut dressing the rice gets soaked in the sauce from the chicken and I like to give mine a good stir before I eat so the flavours hit you all at once. The staff are friendly, the food quick and the flavours unique and palette popping! I recommend a little of the Chili flake oil as they are keeping the hot real low key for Canuck tongues.

I ordered the feature of the week; pulled pork asado rice bowl with slaw. The half size was served in a square take out container for $8 but there was lots of food. The pork was tender and the sauce gave it flavour but wasn't drenched in it. Some of the sauce soaked into the rice but I liked it that way. The coleslaw was delicious and light on the dressing and I really enjoyed the cranberries. If I worked closer, I would visit more frequently. But if I'm in the area, I will be back.

They do not give you a detail receipt, and will just show you the total. When you add everything together yourself, 90% of time you will realize they are overcharging. They charge tax for food items that are tax free (e.g. Bread). If you tell them why you did it, They always apologize and say it was a mistake. But this mistake happened just for me 5 time in a row. Lots of items on their shelf is expired. I showed an expired jar of pickles to the owner and his response was, the expiry date has no meaning for pickles. They will get better with time !!!!!!! I hope no body calls health Canada on them. One of my friends went there and after check out they gave him a bottle of canola oil as gift. Surprise surprise, the oil was expired 6 month ago !!!!!, I am pretty sure sooner or later they will kill somebody, I was looking for fava beans, and realized he is selling the Chinese store fava bean just 100% more expensive. Overall, I rather go to Afghan groceries or as a matter of fact any other grocery store to shop for my ethnic food items. BTW, if you have a chance to travel to Calgary, Vancouver or Toronto. Please visit any Iranian store to find out how bad this place is and how a decent Persian grocery store should look like.

Mini Super Pars is a small, family-run Iranian (Persian) grocery store with a charming feel to it…read more Entering the store, one first notices the convenience store kinda size of it, with three aisles formed haphazardly by random cabinets aligned side-by-side. A warm pot of tea is always brewing which is awesome (it's free) and very Persian in taste. After equipping yourself with a cup of tea, you begin to navigate the maze of Persian things that are available here. From the traditional stone-baked thin breads (packaged in plastic, which is fine, from what I've heard), to saffron infused crystalline sugar, spices, sweets, yogurt drinks, pulses, grains and so on. Even a full cabinet of "Persian" tea and a couple of cabinets with lots of different canned items, some of which could be procured from any supermarket, but many of which are strangely unique in their use in Persian food. I liked the grocery store. They also have prepared sweets, including baklava. If I'm not mistaken though, I think the Persian baklava is made with rose water and sugar syrup (as opposed to honey and syrup). It might be worth trying, in that case! The shop owner was approachable and friendly. I like that they have tea brewing (and it's tasty - try it!) through the day. Very inviting feel.

This was the case with chicken legs with back attached. We went there on Thursday Aug. 26 and the butcher told us he was waiting for them to come in that day. We went on that Sunday Aug. 28th and again were told they did not arrive. I said there were fresh legs with backs in the cooler he could sell them for the sales price of $1.79 a pound. The older butcher looked at me and in a condescending tone said "we CAN'T sell those to you for the sales price because they are FRESH!" So that's how much our business means to you that was the last straw. They just lure you in with flyer sales then conveniently don't have the product in stock! Last time for the Co-op no matter what the location! Very disappointed!

I went in for lamb shoulder for a stew. They only had leg meat left. The girl who served me seemed…read moreindifferent and not very helpful. When I asked if the leg meat would do for a stew she said yes it would and would be just as good if not better. I spent $75 on 3 lbs of prepackaged lamb leg (I only needed 2 lbs). Thankfully I researched the difference between leg meat and shoulder meat when I got home or I would have wasted a lot of that meat. Turns out lamb leg doesn't work as well as shoulder for a long-simmered stew. Shoulder needs to be simmered for a long time, as my recipe instructs, where as leg meat gets tough and chalky if simmered for too long. Why didn't she know this? Really disappointed in this place. Overpriced for a butcher that knows very little.
