Pretty nice. I was looking lost and help was offered. Unfortunately, they didn't carry the product I wanted. I did, however, find lots of stuff I needed and it was all on sale. Use your shoppers optimum loyalty card. I was completely enthralled by the bakery section. The decorated cakes and cupcakes were stunning. Would you look at all that cheese!?! Holy cow. I used the self checkout. Help was nearby if I needed it. Super friendly staff.

Looks like next door is getting a face lift :)

I really enjoy going here for a quick pickup in the case I forget my lunch! The soups are my favourite, with 6-8 different varieties to choose from every day, including handfuls of crackers for every occasion I think my favourite soups so far were the chicken noodle, chicken Thai, butternut squash and beef chilli. The variety is great because it gives me a chance to pick ones I like and make them at home The soups also go good with a nice fresh pizza bun or sourdough bun - yum! What's even better is that nice cold scoop of tantalizing gelato dessert! I found the 2-scoop to last me 2 days, slow savouring the combo of manga to raspberry = divine deliciousness From what I've seen this market is kept pretty neat and tidy, and workers can be seen making fresh stuff everyday, which is well worth the price for freshness. There's one lady in particular that I found to be really friendly and helpful at the barista/gelato counter My hats off to her and her fantastic customer service

Cheese bread!  I hope it tastes as good as Co-Op's!

Loooooove the concept! Underground parking = warm and dry winters! Free fruit of kids instead of cookies = happy Mommy. Fresh fruit juice bar = heaven! There are some great deals to be found if you hunt around here and the staff are pretty fabulous. I've come in at lunchtime and found this place a lot more happening. If you come in the evening half or more than half of the food stations are closed down and that was a disappointment because we brought the kidlets last week for supper. Also it would be nice if there was a water fountain option in the eat in area. We bought a bottle of water but downed that pretty quickly and needed more. See you soon Loblaws!

Maki boat $8 on Thursday

Wanted to check out the new Loblaws and came in early evening on a weeknight. The fresh food area was busy with people looking to pick something up for dinner. We didn't have dinner yet so decided to check it out too. Near the front doors is the fresh bakery of buns and breads. We made our way to the right where they have all enticing desserts including cupcakes, cakes, cookies that are self serve and some behind the counter, and nearby is a coffee shop. The self serve donut area was pretty popular with customers filled up their boxes. There are some tables outside and inside which is great to eat in. But they aren't cleaned often as most of the tables we saw were dirty. We did ask a staff person and he came to clean it for us. The tables seat 6 so people maybe sharing. We continued on and stopped at the sushi area where the Maki combo was $8 for their Thursday special. They also have Indian food, and hot food including chicken, pasta, and vegetables. It didn't look that appetizing as it looked like it was sitting under the heat lamps for the afternoon. Next was the flatbread pizza, calzones, and quiches. I got them to heat up a meat calzone for $4. There is one cash area and no line up to it was quick to pay and then snag a seat. The food wasn't restaurant quality and more like food court quality if that. I likely will stick to the desserts next time I buy something ready to eat. The produce section was tidy and there were some good deals on some items. We shopped for groceries and I noticed selection was limited and they didn't have all the products I wanted to get. The prices were comparable to other stores but not as cheap as the discount grocers (and the Shoppers close by has cheaper prices on some items) The section that must be the busiest is the chips and snacks as they were half filled. Staff are likely learning their jobs as service was a bit slow at times. I also purchased an item that was more expensive than the listed price so I'll be sure to check my receipt next time as well.

Loblaws City Market ~ Seasonal Herbs & Plants are out!!!

From the curb side displays to the music in the parking lot, I love city market. Shop mid afternoon or a few hours before close for deals ~ look for 50% off stickers. The DEAL WE SCOOP, most frequently is on Hot serve, ready to eat soup. I believe there are 6/8 options. Salmon Chowder & Coconut tai are my faves. If soup remains at the end of the day its marked to clear @50% off. $8 LARGE container becomes $4!! Walking around the store is like an Easter Egg Hunt as you grab surprise 50% off items :) Today's WIN: 3 cheese platter & fruit reg.$14.99 50% off (I removed a few strawberries, otherwise huge win) In house made Salsa & Guacamole ~ SO FRESH!! Watermelon !!! Yay, it's that time of year. Cesar Kale salad ~ OMG! TRY THIS ! Available at the Deli Dept. Salmon & Kaper Grilled Panini ~ $6.99 Another OMG TRY! This is typically a $13-$17 sandwich depending on where you go. ANOTHER WIN. Desert was a Lemon Square ~ Not as good as my Grandmas but pretty darn close, another WIN! Select fresh cut flowers ~ tulips 50% OFF. Beautiful addition !!! This 'area' has a little bit of everything !

Gorgeous atmosphere!!!

Love it ! Love it ! Love it! Did I mention I love it here!!!! The produce, the prepared beverages, salads, entrees, meets, cheeses are AMAZING!! All of these wrapped around by a stunning atmosphere makes me feel like I am in some super trendy area of New York and. It downtown Edmonton. The prices and brand cover a large enough range that it suits many different types of shoppers!! The ready to eat are well priced and portioned for the young professionals and students more than a family. Come for the ready to eat...leave with produce, individual meat portions for supper and freshly squeezed juice....you will not be disappointed.

Specialty produce; donut peaches!
Rebecca R.

What a great addition to the Oliver community! This is like a small version of a "Superstore" (no pharmacy). BUT they do have a large bakery, deli and cafe. Specialty meats, produce and antipasto. They make a variety of prepped items to take home and cook. Sausages, burgers, marinated meats, stuffed chicken breasts... Kangaroo, Ostrich, Venison, Elk, Goat and lamb can be found in the meat section. Dry aged beef is also available. Chèvre with just about anything you can think of... Cheese boards prepped and ready to take home. They even carry "Untamed Feast" foraged fungi products, and Pinnochio gelato. Way to support local! It's not Sunterra, but it's nice to have nearby. I hope to see more local products on the shelf in the future!

Clearly Canadian?!   YES PLEASE

My Ontario heart is SO happy to have found this grocery store! It reminds me of Fortino's & Loblaws that I grew up with. We live in the North West, but make the extra 20 mins trip here every Sunday. Loving the carts at this location- easy to move (especially if you have a latte in hand from their coffee shop!) all you need is a drink holder on the cart! Also, this place doesn't play boring music, which makes aisle dancing so much fun while you shop

Lovely layout with a real city market kinda feel. Nice to have another option for a grocery store in central edmonton. Great selection of cheese. They have a really cute section of cupcakes and other yummy bakes sweets. Also have a decent selection of ready made meals from their deli. Nice pre-made deli salads. Fresh sushi section.. in my opinion it's pretty decent for grocery store sushi and makes for a healthy quick grab and go meal. I do find there produce section to be more pricey but the do have a nice selection of both organic and regular veg. I am not really a fan of the bakery breads. I do find for PC products they are not comparable to super store prices. But for the convenient location it's not a huge deal to pay a bit more.

Got to check it out during it's grand opening weekend, so the crowds may be a bit more than usual. I would compare this more to a Sobey's with in house bakery and meat department. Basically a smaller but nicer Superstore. When you first walk in you may be overwhelmed with where to go first. They have an ice cream/coffee area, bakery, sushi counter and meat with a butcher. They do have a lot of ready made meals to go for those that don't have the time to cook. What I liked is that in the produce area everything was nice. The one thing I hate at the Superstore that I normally go to is that usually most of the fruits are bruised and damaged. Let's hope they can keep the qaulity up here. Things in bakery are typically about $1.99 - $3.99. Yes, most may seem a bit pricey but you get what you pay for, as everything is made in house. Plus, you may pay same or more at places like Good Earth or Duchess Bakery. Another nice thing is they have tons of underground parking with an escalator leading right into the store, so bonus during our cold winter months. Since this is part of the Superstore family, you can get and redeem PC points. There was only one issue I had here. Most of the cashiers are in training so there may be either longer lines, as well as they may not know all the procedures yet. Mine was not able to redeem my PC points for my order (the manager was there too and seemed to have problem figuring it out). But I didn't make a big deal of it and saved my points for next time. I know they are still working out kinks and having worked in a grocery store when I was younger I know it isn't easy. I wish it was closer to me, so will only make the trip once in a while when in the area. But it is nice to see more places like this opening down town, this is definitely a nice addition to have.

The mystery cake that has zero ingredients listed on it. Sorry, can't eat it if you have allergies!

I'm so glad this isn't my local grocery store. While relatively clean and filled with decent signage, I find the layout here confusing. There is no usual "shop the perimeter" feel for bakery, produce, etc. It reminds me of the Sobeys Urban Market that used to be on Jasper Avenue (which was frequented by downtown workers), but this is in the middle of a more residential area, so imagine that store with carts trying to edge through. Most frustratingly, I find the meat section to be disproportionate to the rest of the store (you feel like you have to walk through to forever, especially if you have no need for it) and the prices of nearly everything are higher than at the Kingsway Superstore 5min away. (For example, a bulk pack of No Name frozen burritos my husband brings for lunch are $4 more at this location.) I've even found I can't purchase in-store items from the bakery here, as cakes and other pastries were stickered with the price, but no ingredients. As someone with allergies, it's a pretty alarming misstep.

Egg

This market is probably one of the worst in the city. The food is never fresh, take a look at the egg I got for breakfast. The staff are also pretty rude with each other. I watched both associates giving each other attitude. It's clear the manager of this store doesn't care about quality and value.

Coconut & raspberry gelato!

Oh goodness, it is a whole store by Duchess filled with the most amazing, well like the name says: Provisions! There are cookie, cake and pie making equipment. A How-To kit for duplicating their famous macaroons. All the gadgets one would need to bake a masterpiece are in this delicious little side venture. They even have a wall stocked with jams, honeys, caramels, chocolates, nuts, salts, sugars and other high end, super must have ingredients to wow your taste buds (and show off to your dinner guests!) I bought a delightful crystallized honey as well as a jar of salted caramel that is so amazing it could be drizzled on a dust bunny and make it taste divine! I also added to my insane cookie-cutter collection, which I hide from my other half so he doesn't think I'm Kitchen Cuckoo! Oh, wait... I think he's on to me ;) This is definitely a must visit store if you are a culinary wizard, or just like to wing-it! It is a go-to destination to pick up that perfect hostess gift or for your super foodie friend. And even a $4 jar of something, in its beautiful package, will make anyone feel like a Duke or a Duchess!

As I entered this store, at their new location, the first thing that caught my eye were their displays. They are like little pieces of art telling stories about the items they carry. They have a kids section inspiring fun ideas on how to engage kids in the kitchen. There is a wide selection of flours, sugars and other baking gems (some organic and some not). They carry cookware, bakeware, bread making products, books, teas, chocolates, extracts and compounds, preserves, canning supplies, mixers, cake stands, serveware, kitchen linens, aprons and so much more. With Christmas approaching this is an excellent place to find gifts. And if you're hungry, Café Linnea is definitely worth a try next door.

Brunch is offered on Saturday and Sunday, otherwise they open for lunch (closed Mondays). Epic Market is huge. This will be a very popular place for the Whyte Avenue crowd as there are so many options available depending on which floor you enter. We were on the second floor today for brunch but the first floor, which has a similar look and feel, has a Mexican menu. It opens for lunch at 11:30am. It's a unique concept for Edmonton. The server said that they've opened similar restaurants in larger cities like Toronto but Edmonton is their first venture into a "smaller market". The brunch menu was interesting with some unique features and some typical offerings. I had the Pork Bennie, for $18.00 in 2024. The prices are quite reasonable for the type and quantity of the food. My bennie was good. My only criticism is that a special house ketchup would have been a nice touch. The service was excellent and we had a nice view of Gateway Blvd out the window. The coffee includes endless refills which is good because the cups were not very large. I'm sure the vibe is much different for dinner than brunch, but based on our experience, I'll definitely return.
