    Such a great grocery store with many selection. We end up stocking up on snacks to take back home such as ketchup chips, Kuerig maple coffee, and maple cookies. We also stop by daily for water, drinks, fresh baked goods and deli. The bakery section is huge with all kinds of cookies, croissants, and bread. The deli has fresh cut meat, cheese, pizzas, sandwiches. From reading the Yelp reviews now, wish I knew there was a second floor!

    Sometimes living downtown you take for granted a fabulous grocery store in the historic Maple Leaf Gardens. I shop here all the time, and like to take my time in the store while I'm here. Often, I'll sit in their seating areas after shopping eating what I just bought. It's a very inviting space. In fact, once or twice in university my friends and I worked from here (when they had seating upstairs.) Loblaws is upstairs for two in one shopping. Parking is free if you purchase a certain amount. Another bonus is that despite their large self checkout station, they usually have a few cashiers to check you out if you have cash. Avoid shopping around dinner time and especially on holidays (ie Thanksgiving). Lines will be incredibly long.

    This is their flagship store. It is huge! There is a wall of cheese, a Nutella bar, prepared foods to eat in their seating area, free WiFi, and courses taught on their second floor. There is also a Joe Fresh store on the second floor. Once a week, they have food promotion stations. In the seating area, they also hold special occasion promotions like the Dec holiday season. The make colourful cakes based on special events. They were one of the first to implement self-checkout stations a few years ago. There is a huge parking lot in the basement with validated parking if you spend $20 or more. They also have online grocery shopping with self-pickup near the parking lot. During the 2020 pandemic, the store hours are reduced with the first hour dedicated to seniors or those with disabilities. The parking lot is free to avoid having to deal with parking slips. Face masks are mandatory based on Toronto's health restrictions. All shopping carts are cleaned before putting them back for customers. There are hand sanitizers at the one entrance (the second entrance has been closed off). Interestingly there are 2 police officers at the entrance. Aisles are marked one-way (although many people don't follow the arrows). Lineups for the cashiers and self-checkout have 2-metre markings on the floor. Every other self-checkout station is disabled to encourage social distancing. Plastic bags are free.

    Salad bar at Loblaws
    Bruce K.

    I experienced the food sections of this urban supermarket. I'm sure there's more but what I did see was amazing. So many prepared and ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat and a produce section that was amazing. Fresh made sushi, sandwiches to order, fresh salad bar, and the bakery was insane. After my nearby breakfast, and knowing that I would be working from the hotel room for the next several hours, I stopped in here and picked up some sparkling water and a few nibbles for lunch. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the USD/CAD exchange rate. Very nice lady working the self-checkout who helped me with my US credit card issues. I enjoyed my shop at Loblaws!

    Pizzas in the deli.

    Nice grocery store with a great selection of food. The deli has pizza, soups, salad, and fresh juices. The bakery has delicious egg tarts and cookies. I like it here.

    Amazing is understatement to describe this Loblaws branch. It's so big, so well laid out with so many quality selections to choose from. Here you can find the more premium and epicurean offerings in the cheese, meat and cold cut department. Even the bread aisle is twice as big of the usual Loblaws. There's an attached parking to the shop. To access it, once you enter via the Carlton entrance, turn left, walk past the cooked foos section and take the escalator on the left down to the basement.

    Is no hockey arena... although MATTAMY next door is great.. the old Maple leaf gardens is a grocery store. It's big and modern and one of the best in city, but pricey....

    Wow, this place is HUGE! We kept driving by a bunch of Loblaws, while in Toronto. Since we were walking around the area, we decided to finally drop by and check this location out. It's so spacious in here and everything is so clean and neatly displayed. Employees are friendly and helpful. Yes, its a grocery store but boy do they give you a lot of options. Every section of this grocery store is large and provides so much variety. Everything looked super fresh too. Take a look at some of my pics from Loblaws to get a better idea of what they have inside. Oh how I wish we had one of these close to where I live. Note to self: Don't come in here super hungry. Everything in here looked so good!

    Beef salad from cooking class
    Denise S.

    I took one of the cooking classes here. The classroom/kitchen is upstairs, next to LCBO. It was Thai cooking with Florene Kwok and it was $30 for a 2 hour class. Now, they call it a 'class' but it is more of a demonstration. I.e. you aren't actually doing any of the cooking hands on. Some of the stuff has already been chopped, meat has already been marinated (otherwise, it would be impossible to prepare 4 courses AND eat them in 2 hours!). I was part of a large group and they let participants vote on the menu. We ended up collectively deciding on: - Grilled beef salad - Thai spicy noodles - Coconut lime chicken - Coconut milk bread pudding a la mode It was a fun evening! The food tasted delicious, I picked up some useful cooking tips, and the dishes weren't too tricky. They gave us copies of the recipes, and I feel like I will be able to reproduce them at home. Of course, it's Loblaws, so they use a lot of President's Choice products that you can buy after class. Florence has a somewhat abrupt and no non-sense style, but I liked her and she was happy to answer questions or to give us a closer look at any of the ingredients (e.g. I didn't know how to cook with lemongrass). She made 2 batches of the noodles - mild and spicy. She also made separate dishes for the one vegetarian in our group. The seating area is big and you usually have a good view of the stove, but there are also TV screens. They provided water and pop. $30 for a lesson, a great dinner, and someone to do the dishes for you -- not a bad deal!

    Cupcake Heaven! I just could not decide on which one as a snack...just one... orange chocolate? Winter Mint? Vanilla bubblegum? Chocolate Peanut? Oreo? Three of the friendly staffs voted for Red Velvet ($1.99)... so I ended up having one of those! (the cake itself is moist, frosting is light and not too sweet) Sweet from Dufflet, Artisan Bread from ACE and those Store Baked Maple Bacon Donuts looks good... Loose Leaf Tea from Tea Emporium.... Freshly made espresso drinks... Good Cheese and Deli Selections! And all these hot food choices: pizza, pasta, remind me of the food halls I been to! The dry goods section though are a little boring, just like one of those standard Loblaws... This location used to be Maple Leaf Gardens and I still remember I watch my first LIVE hockey game here: Leaf VS Red Wings... I am pleased that Loblaws able to preserve the facade and some of the artifacts and transferred that into a lovely space....a place full of memories.......

    A colleague of mine lives up the street so he's the one who first told me about how amazing this place is. He and his husband apparently come here just to walk around on some nights. I finally decided to check out this place w my friend this afternoon. Wow. This place is the Mecca for Foodies based in Toronto. You want to see the real deal though? Go to a Japanese department's food emporium. Anywho, moving on... If you spend over $20, you get your parking pass validated. In case you don't know, the lot entrance is on Carlton, west of Church. The price point is no different from other Loblaw locations; however, you have a wider selection of food items plus an LCBO and a JOE Fresh. As Jennifer K mentioned, the cupcake area ... cupcakes are my kryptonite. I just stuffed my face w the red velvet cupcake infused w cream cheese icing. It was deeeeeelish. A solid four star here.

    Gone way downhill in recent months. Sloppy, poorly stocked and marked. Staff is negligent and rude at times. Too bad, used to be the best...

    This place is an urban gem. The first big box grocery store I've ever seen that actually adds value to the neighbourhood.

    King Fresh Foodmarket

    Very organized snack shop with a ton of variety! Everything…read moreis so aesthetically arranged and categorized. They had snacks which I had never seen before, not even in regular Asian grocers. Prices are reasonable

    (Shopped 09/13/2025 SA @ 12:00pm): This market was definitely on King St., but I didn't focus too…read moremuch on any fresh food offerings! It was the second to last day of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival when I finally poked into King Fresh Foodmarket for a look around and some potential snacks instead of an actual meal. I'd passed this place on several occasions while I either waited in line for a movie or rushed by to get to one. I was on the hunt for anything random and portable to snack on. Would I feel funky fresh and feast like a king after I shopped in this food market!? PURCHASE(S) Lay's Potato Chips Italian Red Meat Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): I think this was supposed to taste like meat sauce because that's what I got from it - not bad. Lay's Potato Chips Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): This simply tasted like tomato to me, and I couldn't think of a Mexican chicken tomato dish that this was to resemble. Lay's Potato Chips Spicy Crayfish Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): This reminded me of spicy shrimp chips, which I didn't mind. Muskoka Brewery Mad Tom IPA Beer 16floz Can ($4.49CAD): Dark amber color, citrusy hoppy aroma, low body, citrusy hoppy malty flavor, drying smooth finish, and citrusy hoppy aftertaste. The artwork caught my attention while I truly enjoyed this beer. Banana ($0.75CAD): I needed something healthy to eat to counteract all of the salty snacks. Reusable Bag ($0.49CAD): I needed a bag to carry my snacks, but I ended up losing it... SERVICE Aside from the lone male at the checkout counter, I didn't see anyone else, and he didn't really leave his station. No worries, I was simply casing the joint from aisle to aisle as I collected bags of chips, beer, and fruit. It was all easy-peasy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was constantly in the area all day throughout the Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A quasi convenience store and mini-mart (not enough elements to be considered a grocery), with an impressive selection of candies, refrigerated drinks, and snack foods, that filled the shelves aisle after aisle. Outside of the customary promotional shelftalkers and standees, the rest of the place was rather rudimentary and no-nonsense with a touch of an underground bunker feel (I believed it actually was in a basement). A minimal amount of natural lighting came in through the front doors and raised windows, while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while pop music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL King Fresh Foodmarket purely surprised me with what I found inside and eventually walked away with, so I would definitely check them out again. If you knew me, you knew I loved beer, salty snacks, and sweets, and if I saw anything within these types of food that was out of the ordinary or just odd, I had to try it! The prices seemed very comparable, they had a wondrous selection of items (although I didn't recall anything freshly-made), and the service was efficient and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.50CAD BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
