This afternoon, August 4th 2013, I stopped in looking for Agave nectar, as the store I usually go…read moreto was closed for the long weekend. When I told the fellow who was there that I paid much less for it in Mission , he told me he did not believe me, that it must have been a smaller size I had purchased. I assured him it was not and that I would not lie about it. He told me he would go see for himself on Tuesday. I left, deciding that I would wait and buy some on Tuesday. I did however return to Healthway Market with my close to empty bottle of nectar, the price tag and name of store still attached and the receipt in my hand. I told him I came to show him the items and proof as I did not really appreciate being called a liar. I no sooner said so , he denied saying that and he immediately blew up, started yelling at me, telling me to get my a_ _ out of the store, I turned to call out to my husband and this guy again yelled at me to get my f_ _ _ ing a_ _ out of his store and never come back!!!!! He was absolutely livid and was so close to me as I neared the door I was concerned he would shove me out the door adding physical assault to the verbal assault I had just endured. Thankfully he kept his hands to himself and only grabbed the door and locked it. So much for welcoming new customers. I have never in my life been treated so badly for simply showing that I was being HONEST with him from the start. Not so HEALTHWAY I'd say.

Isn't it amazing how the actions of one salesperson can ruin your entire perception of a business?…read moreI came to the store to browse and investigate a few supplements that are supposed to help with a particular condition I have. The saleswoman asked if she could help me 3 times within a 5 minute time span--the 2nd of which she pointedly looked over my shoulder at the list I was referencing, which I found to be pretty nosy. After the 3rd time, I finally asked her if they sold one of the supplements on my list that I could not find. Instead of locating the supplements for me, she started asking me really personal questions about my health, even asking what kind of medications I was taking. As this is a store in middle of a mall and not a doctor's office or a pharmacy, I told her that I didn't wish to discuss my health issues or medications with her. She continued to probe and said that she needed to know what medications I was taking as they, when taken together with the supplements, can "cancel each other out." I'm not a health care professional, but in all my years of taking medications and nutritional supplements, I have never heard of these medications reacting to supplements in this manner, and I told her that I highly doubted that what she was saying was true. She rudely told me to ask my pharmacist and continued with her tirade, in the middle of which I just walked out. I never did see the supplements I was looking for, nor do I know if they actually sell them there--all I got was an invasion of my privacy and a line of ignorant BS that I didn't ask for. I had a confidential consultation with an actual pharmacist today, and she said that what the salesperson at this store told me was completely false, so not only was she asking invasive questions that were completely inappropriate for the context, but she was also giving out incorrect information! Unless you're an actual health care professional, you should not be giving this kind of advice, especially in such a public location. There is a reason why there is a separate area for pharmacists to give consultations and why people see doctors behind closed doors. It would have been different if I had actually asked her if she had heard of these supplements interacting poorly with certain medications, but I didn't and simply desired to locate them. I took my list and my business to another health food store where the salespeople were very courteous, left me alone to browse, and respected my privacy. I will never go back to Alive Health Centre and recommend that others keep their distance unless they'd like their privacy rudely invaded by an unqualified salesperson in the middle of a busy shopping mall.

Super Punjab Sweet House

There is nothing in Toronto for Punjabi sweets that even comes close to this place…read more It was the cleanest, freshest display and massive variety of Punjabi sweets. Huge variety of barfis (different types), jalebis, laddoos, gulab jamans... Not diet food obviously ... Owned and operated by a Punjabi family, the entire family including the elder members of the family participate. Big huge boxes of these exquisite delights being purchased by a never ending stream of customers. There is a sign in the store asking people to be patient. The best Punjabi sweets place I have ever been to in my entire life. There are no words to describe how good their sweets are here. Polite, welcoming family and nice to all their customers.

Super Punjab Sweets is clean, doesn't smell like frying, and there isn't a 11 year old girl running the cash register. The take out boxes are neatly stacked and not towering over waiting to fall onto customers and inside isn't littered with basement suite postings and car for sale signs on the front of the door. The food is exactly the same opinion as my brother's review and it's always consistent every time we go. A nice touch is the take out box is lined with plastic in the middle so it doesn't leak through the box. FYI for faster service bring cash

If you're in the mood for something a little savoury, they also serve 5 different flavours of Taiyaki. I can't remember which flavours I ordered because I stuffed them in my mouth immediately.

From what I saw there was a younger lady taking everyone's orders, a man making all the drinks, and an older woman in the back making the bing su. It was packed when I went. The line was out the door but well worth the wait. I'm surprised this place doesn't have more Yelp reviews based on the amount of people that come here. Although there was a long line of people ahead of us, it moved quickly cause the staff was efficient. You could see how hard they were working as beads of sweat started forming on their forehead. The Korean hospitality is just on a whole other level. My group ordered a mango cheesecake bing su, takaiyaki (red bean, apple pie, and cheese custard), plain yogurt smoothie with boba, and another tea which I forgot. Everything was delicious! The bing su was very light and subtly creamy. The takaiyaki was soft and crispy. It's made of croissant so that was tasty. My favorite was the apple pie. The drinks were also very refreshing. I was not disappointed with this place at all.

I finally get to try mead here. I've always been intrigued by it after years of reading about it in…read morestories set in old England. There are so many flavors here and they all sound so yummy. The tasting is great as you get to try the different types of mead. The tasting fee is waived when you buy a 375 ml or 750 ml bottle. 50 ml bottle is also available and just so cute and portable. So I learnt I prefer the sweeter mead like merry mead (original and usually out of stock), crabapple mead and plum mead (reminds me of Japanese choya). Other meads are the dry version and some can even taste like brandy or whiskey. There are also lots of honey here. It's a great place to get honey and honey based products and mead. You can also call to reserve mead or ask to be on waitlist for certain meads so that they can call you when it's ready. Then it won't be a wasted trip. Excellent service too. P.S you can bring back the empty bottles so that they can crush the glass and reuse it. And they will also return the $0.10 deposit. But they said to bring to other recycling depot if it's far out to drop it off at their shop.

At times it's good to go early as the stock sometimes sells out quickly on certain products and if you're at the store they can call others stores to check stock for you.
