I could easily get soooo side-tracked in this…read morestore... it really is HUGE, and they don't only sell groceries, but also household items as well, from towels to dishes, and clothing to cookware. My significant other is especially good at steering me away from the back of the store so that I don't get caught buying another gadget! They don't always carry the same items; a few years ago, they had stoneware loaf pans at a really excellent price - about $7.00 each. I had bought one through the Pampered Chef (which I love and still use), but I would have bought another one here (at that price!) so that I could have made 2 loaves at once. The best way to shop here is to have a list and stick to it. Since the local newspapers are no longer being published, the flyers are not getting distributed like they used to either, so it's more difficult to know what's on sale there. I've just installed a new app called "flipp", and will try to keep tabs on the specials - not only at this store, but everywhere we shop.

I missed going for a couple of weeks, and it gave me the winter BLAHs! LOL!! So, it's time to cheer up. This is not the biggest Farm Boy, but it's one of the older ones. I like that they sell things here that are not found elsewhere. And they offer a salad bar (presumably by weight), that looks intriguing, with wonderful large olives, and a variety of other fresh ingredients. I like their deli counter. You can get a sample items as you go along. I got slices of salami and wasn't sure which one to get, so I asked for a sample of that, and they gave it to me... Glad I asked too, because it was spicier than I would have liked! Farm Boy also makes their own versions of things, like a tasty, thick egg nog. There's a $1 surcharge for the bottle, which you get back when you return it empty. That's a nice touch! They also make house-brand salad dressings, and different oils which would make nice gifts. And generally every week I come back to see what flowers they have on display!! (Or that humongous pumpkin they are likely to have, leading up to Halloween. Watch for it!) So, I'll be back.

So, this is my updated review for this new Metro grocery store. It is still my favourite grocers in…read moremy neighbourhood, because I like how it's laid out, and it's clean and bright. The staff is usually very helpful. Maybe I'd really give them 4.5 stars, if only I could grtant half stars. Maye it's COVID giving grief... We won't know the answer to this one until we are able to ease into the "new normal" - and after it has smoothed out, and stock is more readily available. But here's my grief or beef, if you will: Sometimes we go to this shop because of their advertising. Today was just such a case. They advertised sockeye salmon in tins for 2 for $5.00. Hubby went to the shop to get it a few days ago when the ad first came out. None in stock. So today we went back, presuming that they've had time to receive a new shipment, but that was not the case. And unfortunately, due to COVID, they can't give out raincheck vouchers to come back later to get the same price (this one was a significant savings, too). Maybe it was the clerk's attitude? Maybe I'm getting old!! So, Metro store's first "ding". Sorry!! The fish counter manager is still excellent! Will definitely go back. Oh, part 2: we ordered a pizza for $10.00 and a calzone, both made on site. The calzone was huge! The breading was thick enough to hold things together and not fall apart. The stuffing was not thick enough. Maybe this was a good thing, as it didn't drool sauce and filling all down my face as I ate! I liked the breading better than the filling. There was too much breading and not enough filling IMHO. The pizza was 2.5 out of 5. The price was right on both of these items, that's for sure!

I'm picky with frozen lasagna when I don't have the time to make it and I like it a lot from here. Saucy! As a base, it's quite good. I add a lot to it. Mushrooms, lots of hot spice, etc. The chicken lasagna is good. I wish they had a seafood lasagna..maybe one day. Sample weekends are always fun. Yum! I also love the herbed peas... All the shrimp... The party pack samplers. Meatballs. Garlic bread. Chicken breasts (reg and stuffed) when on sale . I'm making myself very hungry... Maybe not so much the steaks. Not the pad Thai.. not the poutine and not the chicken quesadillas. Personal taste. The store is newer, so clean and inviting. Never too busy when I go. Reasonably priced. Love the sales. Lots of other fun stores in this little plaza too. Sign up for the emails and get the $7 off $30 coupon all the time. Every bit helps! $

I check expiry dates... Just in case. If I could wish for one thing it would be more fresh veg here. I love coming in and recommend it to others that I know whom are also addicted to noodles!

There are not a lot of places where you can get Southeast Asian groceries in Kanata, so this place…read moreis like the only game in town if you live in the far West End. If you're willing to go into town to go to Chinatown or go down by the airport to go to T&T you'll have more options, but in the West End where Kanata is, it's slim pickings. Granted some of the local mainstream grocery stores like Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, and even Walmart, carry some Asian products, but they are mostly the Asian products that have gone mainstream like black bean sauce and udon noodles. However, if you want some of the harder to find ingredients, you'll need to go to an Asian grocery store and this one will have you covered. Their selection is not vast, but will do in a pinch. Prices are not low but they are not outrageous either. Although higher than T&T and Kowloon Market. Also not everything has prices listed, so you have to ask. I saw a bag of beef jerky by the cash that looked interesting with no price on it, I asked and it was over $30. In all fairness, beef is pricey these days, and it was a big bag, but I'm wary of spending over $30 to try something out, like what if I don't like it? Lol. Right now (early 2022) there seems to be a shortage of rice noodles (like Pad Thai noodles) in mainstream grocery stores for some reason, but this store has an entire aisle full of rice noodles! They also have some items from Nguyen Huong, a Vietnamese shop in Toronto, like Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), and Banh Bao (steamed bread with meat filling). They also have lots of different types of Vietnamese sausages (Cha Lua) by the cash register. On my most recent I picked up a pack of rice noodles ($2.80), and a slice of Pandan and Taro jelly cake ($2.50). Even though the cake was wrapped in plastic wrap, I could smell the coconut milk and pandan. Yum yum. I'm much closer to Chinatown than Kanata, so I have no real reason to go here, but I check it out if I find myself in Kanata. It's in a strip mall with lots of free parking.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cool grocery store and bakery that…read moresells British foods. The baked goods were ok, I enjoyed some more than others. The Long Version: I stopped in British Pride Bakery to check it out since I was in the area for other reasons. I was impressed with the amount of snacks they had imported from the UK. They had lots of biscuits (cookies), chocolate and crisps (chips). They had a clearance section where items were marked down to half-price. These were all nearing or past their best before dates. They also had clearance items throughout the store. I was there for the baked goods though. I got a Corned Beef Pasty ($4.50), a Custard Tart ($3.50) and a Butter Tart ($2.95). After I ordered the pasty, I saw they had warm ones in the warmer by the cash register (different flavours though). The ones in the glass displays are cold, so I had to take it home to warm it up. The Corned Beef Pasty was ok, but the filling was mostly potatoes with very little corned beef. The pastry was flaky and it was good but I enjoyed the sweet items I bought more. The custard tart was delicious. I like that it wasn't too sweet. The custard was soft and creamy. The crust was a little too buttery for me, lol. But I'm sure that's an odd complaint. The butter tart was sweeter and also tasty. It has no raisins or nuts. I prefer to have something in the filling, but those who like just the buttery goo will like the ones here. The place is spacious, brightly lit and clean. Staff were very courteous and pleasant. FYI: They charge a 2.26% surcharge if you use a credit card to pay. They are transparent about this, the cashier advised me and it's posted right next to their payment machine. I personally find this charge hefty. I chose not to pay it by using debit instead. This store opened November 13, 2023. It's a chain. The first store opened in Cambridge, ON in 2010. They have since expanded to 8 locations across Ontario. This Stittsville location is in a plaza. Lots of free parking available in the plaza. Review #35 (2025)

Many times, I really need say, cilantro and jalapeños and they are out. So.. I end up having to make another trip elsewhere. The mushrooms which are a staple at my place are hit and miss re quality. I like that they have some PC stuff. I buy chicken breasts here sometimes... not great prices re meat but I find this store great for pet food, canned goods, pasta etc. Not many checkouts open, ever. I use self serve and I like it although that weight scale can be finicky! I bring my own basket. In and out.

I linger too long in the baked goods section and caved today for the first time and bought some small cookies that I will freeze. I like their pasta choices as well as their snacks. I could go on. I spend less here than my closest store, Sobeys. People usually state that Farmboy is too pricey but I try and shop smart, so I disagree on this.
