In detail, they're an over-spiced meat puree in a casing. Not a solid piece of chewable meat to be found in them. Essentially meat glue with a spoonful of cayenne mixed in. Truly disgusting. Otherwise. I shop here regularly. It's a perfectly acceptable grocery store.

I end up at the McDonald's in a plaza at Victoria Park Avenue and Gerrard Street East for a bite to eat. I park and eat in my car while looking at this Fresh Co. before I continue home. I always see night staff going into the store. It's closed to shoppers like me. A few Saturdays ago, I was running errands. I had a late lunch at McDonald's and then got groceries at Fresh Co. Parking was busy. I parked roughly two rows away from the entrance. I walked in and grabbed a cart. I like this supermarket. It had everything that I needed. The produce was fresh. I was pleased with the celery, avocados, and apples that I had picked up. There was a sale on all things Pillsbury. The crescent rolls were cheaper here than at Walmart. I was impressed. This store has a nice assortment of jaffa cakes. I remember learning about them on Sesame Street as a kid. I was happy sinking my teeth into my first orange one years later. This store made me so happy seeing them in orange, cherry, and blackcurrant. The frozen food section is amazing. Momos. Potstickers. Samosas. Pillsbury Pizza Pops. Naan. Drumsticks. Beer. I was so happy. I felt like I had won the food jackpot. What was sad was seeing how many cracked eggs were in cartons. It makes me wonder how they got to this state. I ended up passing on eggs here and hit Shoppers Drug Mart instead. Other than not putting a bunch of Humpty Dumpty eggs back together, I loved shopping here. I had a pleasant woman at the checkout. I got my Scene card scanned to earn points. I then paid with a credit card. Done! I bagged everything. I thanked her and left with my groceries. After putting them away in my car, I returned my shopping cart and left. It was nice to finally visit this grocery store. I look forward to shopping here again when it's daylight and I'm in the area.

No need to travel to Montreal to snag these goodies. These bagels were delightful. Took home a dozen St-Viateur all dressed bagels, toasted them, whipped up some bagel sandwiches for the fam that included all sorts of smoked fish and charcuterie. Those bagels disappeared leaving traces of a few crumbs on a plate.

I come here sometimes when I'm in a rush and need to grab a red bull to keep myself awake in the mornings. They have the usually selection of soft drinks, snacks and some groceries, but you're definitely not looking at any kind of 7-11 here. The owners are relatively nice and definitely recognize a familiar face when you drop by. They aren't too chatty and service is always fast and friendly. I do wish they had a better selection of groceries as many of the things in the store seem like they have been sitting there for a while. I don't expect too many people shop here for groceries though, so you can't really blame them. Good one stop shop for that red bull and gummy bear combo on Monday morning!

Freebird Market is a stylish and cozy spot that feels like a mix between a gourmet grocery store…read moreand a boutique café. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with beautifully arranged shelves full of fresh bread, pastries, house-made meals, and high-end pantry items. It's the kind of place where you walk in for one thing and end up leaving with a bag full of delicious finds. The space is clean and thoughtfully designed, making it a pleasure to browse. The prepared foods are perfect for a quick dinner that still feels homemade. We loved the fresh salads, soups, and marinated meats, and the desserts are hard to resist. Staff are super friendly and happy to help with recommendations. It's a little on the pricier side.

This green grocer used to be operated by an Italian family and it had a lot of Italian products…read more It was a very unique place. It is now run by another family and it is more of your typical green grocer. They did not take on the meat and deli counter. When it was the Italian family who ran the store, it took up two storefronts. They have been split and a Portuguese butcher shop is one storefront and the grocer in the other. The produce here is fresh and the prices are typical for the neighbourhood or possibly slightly better. You won't find much unique Italian stuff, but it has pretty much anything you need. They provide delivery upon request. They accept cash payment or electronic fund transfer. I had them deliver an order of fruits and vegetables. Everything was provided and they sent very good stuff. It also arrived very quickly. I don't know what their boundaries are though... call to find out! I think they are still going through some growing pains, so the place can be a bit tight if you go in person. That's why I gave it 4 stars out of 5.
