Let's just say that my bladder needed some attention. We are in lockdown 3.0 here. Where do you go when you need to find a washroom in a lockdown? My current answer is Rexall. My observation for a while is that the washrooms are always available at this drugstore, lockdown or not. I did a search on my maps app and this Rexall was my closest one. Brampton is amazing in that I drove around after my visit and found two other stores within five minutes. Markham only has two Rexall locations, so Brampton is cooler in comparison! This store looks fairly new. I had no problem backing into a parking spot and walking in. The doors are automatic, which I like. Hand sanitizer is staring at you before you enter the second set of doors. This Rexall is organized as you would expect. The lone washroom is at the back, on the right. I turned the door handle and it was locked. I couldn't tell whether someone was in there because it was so quiet. I decided to check with a lovely woman at the pharmacy. She said that it should be available and walked over with me. We determined that someone was in there, but was exceptionally quiet. I waited with my bladder still intact. Finally, an equally nice male employee came out, said that he was santizing everything, and welcomed me into the washroom. I thanked him. If my bladder could talk, it would have thanked him, too. The washroom was indeed clean. I was so thankful that it was sanitized and there. Afterwards, I went shopping. I found the sale section and ended up with a discounted shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask set for just over $10. I like Rexall's snack section. I got a huge bag of Russell Stover sugar-free assorted candies. I have been buying and enjoying these small bags as of late that I felt the larger bag would be far more economical. I do need to pace myself because I can definitely devour the entire bag without much thought. I had to wait to pay for my items. There was one woman who was chatting with the cashier who would ultimately cash me out. The other cashier was dealing with a customer who seemed unsure of which lottery she wanted to get a ticket for. The cashier that I got was nice. She asked whether I selected "bonuses" on my app. I didn't get it what she had meant. She said to select the plus sign for bonuses. Oh, she meant deals! I had already done that. I'm not a fan of manually adding each one, but it's not a bonus to me to work at adding deals. To make a long story short, I got an extra 20,000 Be Well points. That was the bonus that she was referring to. She asked if I needed a bag. I declined and fought carrying all my goodies to my car to save a plastic bag and five cents. Staff are so friendly at this store. The snack aisle is great. I have a thing for pistachios as of late and there was a sale. When I'm in the area, I'd stop by this drugstore again. (166)

Stopping by the eye drops I noticed it was 30% inflated than the loblaws chains. I really have nothing nice to say about the Rexall chain. I find the staff in Rexall more mature.

It's really a bad attitude to think all young people or young looking people have sticky fingers. If you want to treat all people, stop age classifying your customers.

In the rare even he has no stock he will also offer some alternatives. Absolutely love his flexibility. His staff is equally good.

This coffee shop is conveniently located in Downtown Brampton, steps away from the city hall, gage park and the Rose Theater. I visited early morning after finishing at the farmers market and it was a great pick. It was buzzing and packed when we came in, and there was a huge lineup. I understood why once we got our order. The mango colada shake was thick, and blended with the right amount of ice and was delicious. The coffee was also great. The brew is much better than other coffee chains. The empenadas were very generously filled and they had a wide selection to choose from. I would come back here. A bonus was that the cafe was super cute and cozy, so you can easily sit here for hours and just chill.

The café itself has a cozy vibe with lots of seating and nice decor. It gets a little busy sometimes but during the weekday it's a good spot to study! The service was pretty good. Staff were friendly, took a little bit of time to bring out the order however! I decided to try the Biscoff iced latte because it sounded amazing, but honestly it was just okay for me. The coffee itself was actually really good (smooth, well-made, and not bitter at all). My only issue was that I expected a lot more Biscoff flavour. It was there, but very subtle, and after a few sips it mostly just tasted like a regular iced latte. I was hoping for a bit more of that rich cookie butter flavour. That being said, I still enjoyed the drink because the coffee quality was definitely there. Also!! I've heard great things about some of their other drinks and pastries too so I think it's worth trying them out. Overall, I'd still recommend checking this place out. I'd probably come back and try something different next time though.

There is a very wide drink selection, I can find a Real Fruit branch in every mall I visit, and they have the best tapioca ever. The price is really steep, but the quantity and taste makes up for it.

This place delivers on everything that I value in a bubble tea store, and I could not imagine my childhood without it. By the way, my regular order is a mango slushie with tapioca, coconut powder, and milk. Technically, milk and coconut powder are not allowed to be in the same drink when you order using any virtual interface, but the staff are always extremely accomodating when I speak to them in person. Please give the place a shot, whatever you THINK tastes good WILL taste good.

More than half the store space is devoted as a Portuguese goods grocery store, so the amount of baked goods is somewhat limited. But you know what, when the baked goods you do offer are selling at prices that would still be at a deal 20 years ago, you shoot up in ratings. Take a guess how much they charge for the fresh, jumbo-sized sugar donuts...50 cents! Think it's just cheap since it's a sugar donut? Well for the premium price of 75 cents you can get chocolate dipped, jelly-filled and others. Even apple turnovers and chocolate-filled croissants are just 75 cents too. There's a few other items and of course they're cranking out Portuguese buns like they're feeding the entire neighbourhood - which they might just be doing. And don't just think you're only getting inexpensive baked goods. Perhaps they may not be at the level of the highest "Boulangerie" downtown, but the quality is still fantastic. You are still getting quality alongside value. Honestly, the pricing doesn't even make sense, but bless all the staff and ownership of this place for doing what they do. Oh, and they're super-friendly too.
