What an amazing gem for plant lovers in downtown Toronto area!…read more This is a neighbourhood store that sells grocery and fresh produce but come spring and summer, it transforms into an additional local plant hubs. The selection of houseplants here is great and the prices are very reasonable. The staff in the Garden Centre - Angela & Crystal are very friendly and knowledgeable. It's so convenient to pick up food essentials and at the same time buy something for your plant addiction in one quick trip. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Nice little Asian Bodega style mini Mart that has a lot of items you won't find at your local…read moresupermarket. First off, a suggestion: Pho bowls. Okay, it's nowhere close to what real pho is, but they're not bad! It's like Ramen noodle bowls but pho. I added some thinly sliced beef, white and green onions and a bit of oil and it was actually really good. If you're looking for a snack in a pinch, this could be it. And it's $1.50! As for what else they carry: Asian style cuts of beef, chicken and pork are available along with some western items and fresh veggies and fruit, plus the always important HiChew! It's wax and sugar but delicious. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Check it out!

The young guy who works behind the counter is always chatty, kind and is up to date on my life. "How's the new place?" "Have a safe trip!"

PEPPER POINTS for their seasonal products, like sidewalk salt.

Two Saturdays ago, I drove to Oakville to meet up with a friend. We were to meet at 2:30 pm, but I…read moregot a text from her roughly 45 minutes before our original time. She said that she was running a bit late, so it was going to be 2:45 pm. I was good with the later time. The eatery that we had chosen is in the same plaza as this Fortinos. My eyes lit up when I feasted them on this store. It looked amazing from afar. I needed to get some groceries, so I decided to spend some time here before meeting up with my friend. I haven't been to a Fortinos in ages. Markham had one eons ago. Richmond Hill is my closest one these days. I haven't been there, either. I should go more often! I parked in a lot that felt like a lower level. I wasn't imagining things. This Fortinos has an elevator with parking available downstairs, too. Staff members were counting how many people were entering and exiting the store. I grabbed a cart and walked in. I was mesmerized by everything that I saw. I'm sure that if you looked at me, my eyes were wide open with excitement. There were huge meatballs and arancini balls at one stand. You could get a stir fry with noodles at another stand. The pizza slices looked so good! I completely stopped in front of the bakery. The most beautiful artisan breads were staring at me. It was carb love at first sight. Fortinos has never been a discount supermarket. However, the variety and quality are superb. I don't mind shelling out for fancy salad dressing, vine tomatoes, and sugar-free, lactose-free ice cream. I managed to get a package of ice cream sandwiches that were both sugar-free and lactose-free. It was heaven. I felt like I normal human being eating them! I love the beer section. I got a can of low-carb beer from Belgian Moon. Who knew? Staff were so friendly. One of them guided me to an open cashier. The woman was great cashing me out. I had an excellent shopping experience here. I would have spent hours at this store. Thank goodness I had to meet up with my friend. Otherwise, I would have been broke by now. Oakville is lucky to have such an amazing grocery store. I'd return when I'm back here again. (135)

What's not to like!…read more If you're Italian, this is the only store you shop here next to small delis/ meat spots. My family only shops here. They love it and I can see why. It's huge, have almost everything you can crave. Pizza bar, fried food, espresso bar, the candy aisles! So much candy! The olives bar! Yumm. So many different types. Pane, vino, fruita! Seafood though is a ok. But you can get a lot of great stuff here. Their produce section is great. You can always spot a group of older gentleman arguing in Italian by the cafe/ olives bar. Everyone's yelling in Italian all over. It's an experience! Prices are quite high compared to the states but I was told its normal in Canada! Don't even think about getting flowers. It's insane! Seafood: insane! Fruits and vegetables are so fresh though. Pizzas, cured meat etc are cheaper here than the states. I don't mind their bread either. My family gets all their cakes ordered from here. You can get all things Italian in the bakery. They also have Asian food stall/ bar where you can order food to go. I didn't try it but everything else was great. Love their pizzas! Grab a slice, espresso and you're ready for that one hour grocery store walk with your family. :D

And Sak's is like the Deluxe Edition of all-night neighbourhood corner stores. It has always been the same guy working every time I've been here... and he's awesome. Funny, personable, but INCREDIBLE that he seems to run the place. Again, this joint is 24-hour, so this man is dedicated to his craft. This is the most odd convenience/corner/variety store in my area - it's pretty big in comparison to most others in the area, and it has some really odd specialties - for instance the weed paraphinalia display to the right of the cash - it's a big, glass-doored shelving unit full of weird bongs, small and extravagant hookahs, glass pipes, flavoured rolling papers, etc. I didn't look very closely but I believe they also have a selection of different-flavoured shisha. It's right beside a pizza pizza as well. This is a dangerous late-night hunger stop indeed. SAFETY NOTE: If you're driving, be VERY careful entering/exiting the parking lot! This is a dangerous intersection and it is a test of will, mental strength and extreme daredevil driving ability to make it in and out of here alive.

However, it always appears that we are under over-zealous scrutiny from security and staff each time we visit. We have no idea why...we spend a lot of money each time we shop and certainly don't act in a suspicious manner. Perhaps it's because we are a mixed-race couple, maybe dress too casually or are considered scruffy, too fat, too old, or a combination of biases? I understand a rise in the cost of grocery items correlates to a rise in shoplifting, but seriously, enough is enough already. We have experienced a plethora of odd incidents relating to staff following us, scrutiny from till operatives as we walk down each aisle and staff has literally breathed down our necks at the self-checkout, even when putting on my gloves after paying. Although we have joked about this problem, the realization that this does not happen elsewhere has clinched the decision to call it quits and not visit the store again. I believe it's better to have some self-respect and not allow retail employees to treat you in this manner... so Metro at 221 Lloyd Manor Rd, Etobicoke can go and do one...maybe hassle someone else with their "isms" for a change.

Their muffins now come in two sizes and I recently enjoyed their huge, heavenly Chocolate Chunk muffins! I heat them up so the chocolate chips are deliciously hot and gooey.

I also tried their Country Round Bread for the first time and loved it as much as their great organic sourdough. It's so delicious toasted and with chunks of creamy cold, grass-fed butter! And I liked that the bread ingredients were short and simple. The cashier section can get crowded but the staff is friendly and the ambiance is usually pleasant.
