TL;DR/The Short Version: Cool little urban grocery store. Has locally sourced products. Baked goods…read moreand prepared foods are available, in addition to regular groceries. The Slightly Longer Version: This urban grocery store reminds me a lot of The Kitchen Table of days gone by (in Toronto). It has a small amount of groceries and has baked goods from local suppliers as well as prepared ready-to-eat foods. They had some locally brewed kombucha too. Prices weren't too high, reasonable for what it is. Store is bright and clean looking. It's not quite as big as Pete's Frootique on Dresden Row, but they are a bit similar. (192)

Google maps revealed that this grocery store is a short walk from the cruise terminals, though you have to walk away from it a bit because of the railroad tracks. We found displays of maple syrup but had to ask for help finding the maple candy. It was in the bakery department and there was only one option but it met our need. There is plenty of parking for those with cars.

One thing I love about the Superstore chain is that every neighborhood has something special about…read moreit. The one on Joseph Howe might be bigger, definitely has the best Joe clothes line and electronics, and the one on Barrington is open the earliest (7am) which works well when I drop my husband off at the office at the crack of dawn. That said, still my favorite is the one on Quinpool. I love the organization and the great selection of natural, organic and ethnic foods, as if it were a separate store. So easy to find things. The staff is beyond helpful, making sure they take you to wherever the mystery item is supposed to be. Case in point...this morning I was on a mission to find bean sprouts - yesterday being unsuccessful at two other stores. I even went to Pete's downtown and couldn't find any. Pete's is the place I go to for things no one else seems to carry. But not today...today only the Superstore on Quinpool had some. And not yet on the shelves mind you. The sweetest staff stopped what he was doing, went to the back and brought out a box full. Great friendly, efficient service - a huge deal in my opinion. T

I have done most of my shopping at the Atlantic Superstore for many years but I am now looking at…read moreother options. The primary reason is pricing strategies. I constantly see the items I am purchasing, mostly vegan, rise at a ridiculous rate, most often by $1 at a time, then after a few weeks they put the item on sale for the price it was a couple of weeks prior. You obviously think the consumer is a fool? I refuse to purchase at ridiculous prices so unless you stop gouging the consumer I am done with the Superstore. One example is Riviera Vegan Yogurt. It went from about $4.59 to $7.50 in a few months. The second item is the recent addition of alarms for self serve purchases causing the shopping carts to lock up. After a few false alarms and the embarrassment of having my receipt checked, I am fed up. If you do not want to trust the customer then spend some of your fat profit and hire some cashiers and stop with the self serve option. Get back to providing customer service to the people who purchase from you because without them you would not have a business.

The floral department has been going all out lately - lots of plants exploding out of the department - though I can't say about the quality as I've never bought plants from here. They have increased their Halal food section lately, and have a pretty good selection of dairy-free and/or gluten-free things for the size of the store. You won't find everything you need here (the Superstore on Barrington is a bit better for that reason) but it's pretty decent. The prices definitely feel steeper than at Superstore though.

I'm writing this in 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic is still happening. We're still learning about the…read morelong-term health effects of COVID-19. And even the most vulnerable people need groceries, so it seems reasonable to think that a grocery store might be more cautious about a public health emergency than some other businesses. Masks are not required in this store, and haven't been in months. Most people in the store don't wear masks, including some of the employees. Nothing is done anymore to enable people to keep some distance between themselves and others. What finally pushed me to write this review is that, when I went a few days ago, there were people fundraising for something at the exit. None of those people were wearing masks, and their positioning at the exit made it impossible to avoid them. Just terrible handling of an ongoing crisis.

As someone who lives in the downtown core and doesn't have regular access to a car, this place has…read morebeen a convenient place to pick up a few groceries on more than one occaisson. It's definitely more of a convenience store than a "grocery store" despite it's name but it does stock a lot of grocery staples like bread, snacks, condiments, dairy, and sometimes even the odd produce. The prices are your typically inflated convenience store rates but not outrageous. A full size bag of chips probably runs around $3. There are no prices listed on the shelves so if you want to know mroe you'll have to ask at the counter. The selection varies often but I've bought everything from cheese slices, to ketchup, to a can of soup, to a bag of potatoes (which I was sooo excited to find as I'd forgotten to grab this at Pete's earlier in the week). If you live in the Brunswick st/Cogswell area there aren't really any other options for grocery type food, especially after lawtons in scotia square is closed (6pm most nights). Keep this place in mind for those odds and ends you need to pick up between grocery days. They're open until 10pm every day which has been a life saver a few times.

This story offers tobacco products, lotto services, the usual convenience store fair (pop, chips, etc) but also carries some of the stuff you actually wish you could grab right around the corner (in a pinch): tin foil, popcorn, cereal, etc. Overall, great little grocer! I would not be at all surprised to hear that this is a drug front though. Always lots of cops hanging around watching this place, as well as extreme pizza next door. Kinda sketchy, but aren't all hole in the wall convenience stores?

It's somewhat like Costco, just much smaller and more food-oriented. You can really find some amazing deals here. I can see why small restaurant and store owners like to shop here since a lot of stuff is in bulk. It doesn't have a lot of frills, so don't expect it to be like Sobeys, but if you know what you want when you get there you're bound to be impressed.

Every time I have been in there, there has been a lot of customers.

I went up the next day and they gave me a refund for the naan. I really wanted the naan. The Biryani was full of flavour, but I didn't care for the cardamom pods in it. I had to keep stopping and spitting them into a napkin. I will order again.

So I called sobeys on Windsor st in Halifax to see if they had the pizza in stock. They sent grocery to the aisle to check if it was in stock. He said they had it. I drove 15 minutes to get to the store only for them to not have the product in stock. Not even the tag on the shelf with no pizzas there. Just didn't have it period. I spoke with the manager to complain about my experience and she just said sorry I'll talk to him. I wasted gas, time, wear and tear on my vehicle, all for nothing, when this could have been avoided. I expected some form of compensation like a gift card or an override on another product, but no, just "sorry". So I will not be returning to this sobeys ever again, and I will be sure to leave this review in as many places as possible so people understand how bad the service is. Cheers John
