Fantastic place. If you are looking for traditional Eastern European foods, this is the place to go. The assortment was outstanding. The bakery, deli, and cheese sections are extraordinary. The store was extremely clean and very tidy. And we found the staff to be quite friendly and polite. read more

This place just opened and it's pretty good. I'm happy that we have a European market so close to home! Read my Starsky review to understand how I feel about European markets. This is no Starsky though, sadly. First my likes: They have cottage cheese other than Nordica, which is literally the only cottage cheese available in this country and it sucks!! So, their cottage cheese 'Tvorog' (Russian?) is yuummm and my new favourite! My other likes include the bakery (awesome selection of breads), European style frozen soups, great ready made food section, wonderful selection of cheese and meat. I'm not too thrilled with the staff, they really don't know much about the food and even though there are many of them they lack a lot of knowledge. Perhaps it's a learning curve so we'll see how things go. Other than that I feel like I need to go to more than one store to fulfill my grocery list so I'll be stuck going between walmart (also in the area) and this place for fresh food selections. read more

It was destiny that led me to this supermarket. Let me start by saying, i was looking for a yogurt starter online. I used to order online in the past but i needed one asap, so i googled the brand and one of the stores that carry it was Yummy Market. I went and to my surprise, found my dream grocery store. (If there's a thing as such) First, its has a cafe serving Illy coffee. I used to appreciate longos with a starbucks inside the store, and the that has a cup holder. Here at Yummy, is an actual sit down cafe that serves fresh pastries, espresso, tea and gelato. Why would i not want to be there at 8am on a cold winter day? The americano is calling my name. So ever since I've discovered this gem, it became a ritual for me to get up early and grab a cuppa joe and relax before i shop. Second, the wall to wall cheese and smoked meats section is the bomb. I've never seen so many options for cheese and meats. Third, their produce are fresh and good quality and are not overpriced. They even have black radish! Fourth, the meats are of good quality, from chicken to pork and beef. Fifth, the smoked fish and the pickled veggies. Sixth, tons of chocolate choices. Seventh, fresh breads baked in house Eight, plain old good customer service. When you ask one staff for help, they actually stop what they're doing and walk you to the correct aisle. I guess fate had it for me to find Yummy read more

It looks like a cross between whole foods and yummy market. It's clean, big, huge variety of European and non-European foods. Overall a pleasant shopping experience. The staff is diverse and polite. Quite a contrast between the smaller store . Somehow I think I will still be shopping at the old store though. It has more character. read more

Yummy Market - International Grocery Near Me - Maple, Ontario

I must say that I am very impressed with this store. There are truly an extraordinary number of stuff, almost to the point that they appear to outnumber the patrons. I also agree with another reviewer who said that the staff does not seem very knowledgeable but that may change over time. This minor complaint does not really detract from my experience at this store. This store is one of the largest European markets I have ever been to (this location formerly housed a Metro supermarket). It offers a bakery with a large selection of cakes and pastries, fresh produce, freshly squeezed orange juice (with samples), fresh bread (more samples), a huge selection of prepared foods and smoked fish (even more samples are offered), a large selection of cold cuts and cheeses, fresh meat and fish and even some items sold in bulk. This location also has a small but nice in-store cafe serving pastries, coffee and gelato. read more

Passed by this new grocery and popped in to check out the place. Nice European grocery with huge variety of cheese and bread. Got a few cheese spread and a loaf of onion bread. Stopped by their café before headed back on road. Their espresso and macaroons are marvelous! The mini macaroon is only 99 cents each. Can't find this good deal anywhere! read more

Food selection is great! They have plenty of different fruits, vegetables, meat and cheeses and baked goods (pastries and breads). They focus mostly on European food. Which means they cater to European customers. Which means that if you don't speak the language, you basically don't get the best service. Its hit or miss with each department and employee. I don't even bother asking questions about food anymore. I take photos of things I have questions about then Google it on my own. I still go there because they do have good food but can't say I feel very comfortable doing it. read more

I'm disappointed in not having gone here sooner. Ater so many people recommended it, i never took it seriously with a name like "yummy market". I've found my new supermarket. Here's a few personal reasons why: 1) The cheese counter - the only other places that can compare is wholefoods and natures emporium 2) The hot/cold table - so many options, it's unbelievable. Tack on to that, it's the cheapest i've ever seen. Finish it off with really delicious. Well worth it. 3) I love pickles. They have aisles of pickled everything. 4) I love quality honey. They have half an aisle of honey, all high quality and good prices. 5) I love chocolate. They have a giant selection of imported chocolate, mainly from europe, but also from around the world. Best part beyond depth of product selection - prices. priced perfectly. 6) Produce: The organic selection is respectable and they have green tags that mark anything that is organic. Saves a lot of time and helps picking out products that much better. So my overall views of the store: I love it because i'm used to getting a bit ripped off for quality produce - at Yummy, everything premium is priced just right. Don't come here to buy simple things like cucumbers and tomatoes, but come here to buy better things. read more

The times i did check out this place it was pretty dam good. Fresh bread, hundreds of types of different cheeses, large variety of cold cuts. Bliniz/crepes are great. What ever you like it is in this store. Actually, the things you see in this store is like no other in Toronto. read more

Came here to get some gravlax and smoked white butterfish based on a recommendation from a friend. Never really been to any market like this one. They had the tickets you have to get from a machine on top of the service counters and then you'll get a number. There's a system that calls the next person so everything is really organized and systematic. All in all, pretty cool place with awesome smoked white butterfish. read more

A number of times the meat department doesn't trim the meat. Package said boneless chicken and as you can see the bone is included. This has happens often read more

I love this place, it's a European supermarket and you can get all your shopping done in one place. Their cheese selection is excellent (3 times more than at Longos) and the prices are quite good. One of these days I may even try pickled herring, all those Russians seem to like it a lot :-) I am giving 4 stars because of their ready foods section, twice the stuff I bought there wasn't fresh - the meat was dry and chewy. Other than that it would've been 5 stars. read more

Best grocery supermarket. Vegetables are better than anywhere else. Good selection of Europian and Russian products. Bakery is simple majestic. read more

Interesting how almost everyone agrees on 4 stars... Very accurate. Pretty good for locating those rare Eastern European ingredients, but not perfect. Although this location seems bigger and spacier then the original a few blocks south. read more

The management at this place is quite arrogant and has a serious attitude problem. Not a good trait to have when there are 4 other grocery stores within a 2km radius. They refuse to honour Ontario's scanner code of practice (even though the competition does), and get agitated when you point out discrepancies. This a particularly acute problem at this bush league establishment because there are often scanning errors that they refuse to accept responsibility for. This place should be renamed from Yummy to Yuck. If you want a proper grocery store try Highland Farms or Longo's which are both in the same neighbourhood. read more

Today I visited this location in hope to buy some fresh fish. What i got were lazy, rude and very unhelpful workers. First of all the guy named Raj I am assuming he was the manager started staring at me while i was looking at the packaged fish that was below the window. Which made me extremly uncomfortable. I then start walking away to look at the shrimp which is located in the bunker directly in front of the window. When I turn my back I hear him and his co worker (he was an asian gentleman) say something and start laughing. I ignore it and keep walking towards the shrimp. When I am done browsing the shrimp I go back to the window and once again Raj and his worker start laughing so I just start laughing along. I ask Raj for a piece of tuna (very nicely) and he aggressively grabs the tuna and prices it. Raj the wraps my tuna(Without telling me the price) and when I go to grab for it he pushes it into my hand. I then give him a confused look and he turns back around. I stood there for another 5-10 seconds hoping he would apologize or at least acknowledge what he did and when i turned around and start to walk away all confused. I hear him say under his breath to his co worker "Is that guy Retarded or something, why's he starting at my like that". I just keep walking because i don't want to potentially get banned or kicked out of the store for starting a problem. When I finally get to the cashier I say hello and he just ignores it and starts to rush and put my items in the bag. I then pay and he still doesn't say anything. When all of my items are in the bag I say goodbye to try to lighten up his day and he just ignores it. I will never shop here ever again it was the worst experience I've ever had in a grocery store. I suggest not shopping here unless you want to be looked at weird or get treated poorly. read more

The only Yummy Market location I had been to is the small one at Dufferin and Finch. It's kind of hidden in the ghetto mall, but a staple in the community. We were driving by in this area in the evening, and when we saw the large flashy lights of Yummy Market that is as big as any walmarts, we had to stop and take a look. Reminds of the time I first stepped into T&T - the world of local ethnic food shopping, but in a normal big box setting. The best part was the fresh meat, fish, pickled goods, caviar, cheese - anything russian or eastern european you can imagine. Aisles and Aisles of snacks and goodies, that wouldn't look so appetizing in the other store. Hope they open more of these. read more

So glad I found this European market! I stopped by at this grocery store to check it out and it was definitely amazing! They had a great deli, cheese, meat, and pastries section. The pastry section definitely caught my eye. The different colors of baked goods looked delicious by sight. One complain that I have is the yummy cafe attendant. She didn't really know much about the pastries she was selling. read more

Good selection. I don't see how the management has attitude problems, sorry that people don't smile there at every step you take. Get off your high horse. Good deli, warm foods are good. People who return products without a receipt LOL. This is a business after all. Anyways most cakes are good, but get rid off Shirini Sara cakes they are horrible. No real fruit inside. read more

Larger and better than the Duffering location in most regards. Fish counter, butcher, and full produce department. Excellent bulk selection plus an expanded selection of Italian-oriented products in addition to Russian ones. My one complaint was that the produce department at 7 PM seemed picked over and disorganized and did the meat section. If the store is going to stay open till 10, they should do a better job of late afternoon restocking. read more

European quality and selection... Rude unhelpful management... Lots of other choices.

DO NOT purchase the PoppaCorn Movie Style Popcorn. It tasted soapy and stale. Manager did not care whatsoever. He justified not returning my money or giving me a credit by saying it was opened and there had been no previous complaints about this popcorn. He basically did not believe my complaint about the taste. I understand because of Covid he cannot take a return and put it back on the shelf. But, he should not be allowed to sell below average items and refuse to listen to complaints or give money back. I will not shop at Yummys any more because I did not get the sense that the manager cares much about customer service or customer satisfaction. read more

We were devoted customer's of your store.Today's visit disappointed us deeply.It's not only about prices rise due to COVID. It is understandable. It'is about your customer's service. Some of your staff members were irritated, uncooperative and impolite. We will share our bad experience with our friends and relatives. We will not visit your store the customer service improves and we will feel welcome again. read more

We, a senior couple, bought two loaves of bread that were produced at Yummy Maple store. Trying this bread at home we found a very poor quality product - bread was uncooked with bad texture and falling apart. Our attempt a few days later to address the issue of uneatable bread to the store's customer service left a very bad taste and experience. In a very arrogant and unfriendly manner a customer service rep immediately turned down our request of taking back this defective product referring to the "48 hours returning policy". Our explanations of belonging to a high risk group during COVID-19 and as a result a very limited ability of leaving home was ignored and immediately rejected in a rude and unfriendly manner. After 20 min on feet waiting the store manager (Simon) showed up just to copy exactly the same kind of attitude and unfriendly behavior towards senior customers. We left the store with a deep feeling of humiliation and disappointment. Later we found several similar complaints on the forums regarding poor customer service at this store. It makes you wonder if the store management even cares about such important issue as customer service satisfaction. read more

Not to be racist but 90% of the people there are ukarinan or Russian and are rude as ass and what kind of store has a security guard in it?! Yah like not even where I like to shop fortinos and longos are more friendly. read more

Rude and racist!!!! My friends are German and they recommended this place. Really regret taking their advice!!!! Lady at the counter was incredibly rude. 5 people behind the counter and no one was willing to help. When I asked for assistance, it was with a sneer!!! By the tone of the conversation between them, it sounded like they were saying something rude about me in polish. Maybe because I was the only coloured person in line? read more

Yummy Market is essentially a fusion of a grocery store and a Russian Deli. As such, there is a good selection of delicatessen and cultural specialities (i.e. teas, foods that are a part of the Russian culture). I also happen to like that this grocery store carries organic milk (although it's overpriced), which the Metro that Yummy Market replaced did not (also typical of other grocery stores like the No Frills near by). They recently added a cafe inside the store. However, there are some aspects of the grocery store that I do not like. Many food items are substantially overpriced. Yes, they have their own baker for the bread, and cook, however, I don't think this is justification enough, i.e. I purchased almond butter a while back for about $8 - 10 more than the price at Sobeys (which isn't even a cheap grocery store), and their organic milk is more expensive than at health stores. You have to know grocery store prices and compare, otherwise you will be paying a lot more. I don't like the fact that day old bread is priced the same as same day bread (I have had them run out of fresh bread on me and had to purchase the day old bread). I also don't like the customer service here. Once I had to purchase mint, and they had a small selection, all of which wasn't very fresh. I would have to throw out at least a quarter of the herb, so I asked for a discount, and they made a huge deal out of it and gave me .50 off (not even half of the price). Being Ukrainian myself (fluent in Russian), I am ashamed of their obnoxious and pretentious attitude sometimes (depends on who you deal with, this generally excludes cashiers, who are mostly young and friendly youngsters and I've found to be nicer and more upbeat than any other grocery I have been to). I was there a few days ago waiting for my number to be called at the deli counter, when one of the workers behind the counter sneezed twice into her gloves, and then came up to help a lady beside me. Her name is Svetlana (late 50's, early 60's), watch out. It was evident that she had no intention to change her gloves, so I told her that she needs to change her gloves. She made a confused face, appearing not to understand English, so I repeated myself. She held up a finger like "hold on a second," and proceeded to sneeze once more into her gloves. Then she said to the lady beside me in Russian "I don't understand what she's talking about." I then repeated what I said in Russian, and she changed her gloves, without an apology, and without saying a word to me. I really have no words... this is so unacceptable and a public health hazard. I told the deli manager on duty what happened, and she was like "ok." She didn't really seem to care. Also, the name sucks. I mean Yummy Market, come on. It sounds like it was produced by Russians on a time crunch with a very limited English vocabulary. That is all. read more

I shop at Yummy Market all the time, and usually go on Finch/Dufferin location. I was at Major Mackenzie area (May 11,18) and decided to shop over there. I got some prepared food which I am usually getting at Yummy market, but the quality of food this time was absolutely horrible. Mexican Rapsodia salad: sooo much sweet paper and half of the container is salty liquid. Baked salmon with shrimps on the top is not fresh at all and has specific smell and taste of non-fresh fish - went to the garbage. Today (2 days after) I put some chicken pate on the bread - and OMG! the pate is already sour! Everything I bought this time is non-eatable and I am very very disappointed by the quality of prepared food. Marina read more

Drove by and found this place by luck. Best thing ever! Cheese, charcuterie, baked goods, seafood and all the smoked fish you can wished for. We end up buy a pack of foie gras from Au Pied du Cochon (yes they sell the foie gras from Montreal's famous Pied du Cochon!!!) and a whole bunch of smoked fishes to try out. I wish this market was closer to home. read more

I regularly shop at Yummy on Major Mac, and suffered an accident on Sunday, April 8, 2018. I was looking at cakes and slowly moving along the fridges, and suddenly hit my head against an open glass panel. Irena the supervisor was showing cakes to a customer, and had opened the panel. She said "Sorry" and rushed away to hide in the cafe. I invited Irena to talk and explained that her not caring about customers around open glass led to my being frightened; my right temple still hurts. Irena repeated "Sorry" without remorse; I saw no understanding in her eyes. Simon the store manager apologized and explained people routinely collide with open fridge panels -- "There is nothing we can do". Except they can. Deep fridges with front-opening panels house more merchandise and decrease costs. If the owner of Yummy Market saves on equipment and employee wages, he can at least train employees to operate equipment carefully. read more

Bought a few salads like tuna salad, red salad, marinated shrimp salad plus chicken meat on stick Shrimp salad was mixed with spoiled others shrimps. Some of them were dried, some had weird taste but other salads like tuna were fresh. Then I have tried chicken meat same thing a couple pieces were weird taste looked like spoiled. In my opinion they do not want to put in a garbage leftovers. Instead they mix them with fresh ones and resell it. It is outrageous!!! When I call to this store a lady who picked up the phone were defensive and answered that a manager will be later. Later I called and talked with a manager, he also was defensive and none of them didn't apologize! Like in the other stories first apology then asking what we can do for you to resolve this situation. Those people weren't russian speakers. It Russian speaking boss instructed them to speak this way with the customers, otherwise they can loose a job. I used to run a similar store and know all ins and outs. Leaning towards return policy and such products can spoiled in your fridge. The are kind of stupid if logically thinking how marinated shrimps can spoiled early then tuna salad or in mayonnaise see food salad bought in the same time! In comparison with other stores like emporium organic food it is day and night. On the other side, in yummy, there is lots of great food like freshly baked bread, dairy products, ice cream etc. But be aware to buy a prepaid food! Always taste it. If in a harry don't buy it! Don't repeat my mistake. If you reside near by you can return with a receipt within 48 hours, that it! If you are on the road forget it! Those greedy people never return your money. read more

I wish there was an option for no star. Their pastry and food selection is awful not because of the variety but freshness . You pay a lot of money to buy crap. When you ask the associate they will tell you everything is fresh but I am pretty sure their sweets are more than 1 week old. Every time I bought any sweets from them , I through it out after a bite. I'm not gonna waste any more money in this store anymore. What a ripoff !! read more

The food seems fresh and they have a good selection but I rarely go here as I was treated very rudely by a staff member at the bakery counter once. I asked her a question and she responded entirely in Russian. Let me be clear, she didn't say to me in broken English "Sorry I don't understand English". Instead she spoke about six sentences in fast Russian while looking at me coldly. I took that as a sign that I wasn't welcome at this store. It was a very strange experience that made me mad and caused me to walk out. read more

We went there to pick up desserts for a party and they were absolutely delicious. They have a fabulous selection of treats. I highly recommend read more

This place has a great selection of cheese, cold cuts produce and everything else. The fruits are always fresh, you can find anything here. I don't think I have been to a place with worse customer service. The employees look miserable and are extremely rude, I asked some guy for tomato paste : " hello excuse me where is the tomato paste " ? And nothing no hello I'm fine he just pointed to the back of the isle. Who does that ? I have had many other horrible experiences from cashiers just being rude and not even saying hello to the grocery department. I hope the management does something about the employees attitude. read more

Love that store . Like back at home . Very nice in house cooking . Good deals . I wish they had delivery service. And hope they will start selling beers soon read more

WARNING !!!! DON'T BUY THEIR STORE-MADE CAKES UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR GUESTS POISONED!!!!!!!!!! This store has horrendous customer service and zero customer retention practices or satisfaction guarantee and we learned the hard way that unless you bring back AN UNCONSUMED product you can forget about getting a refund / exchange for a food item that you found to be straight up SPOILED. We came to purchase a birthday cake among other foods for the party and spent about $300 which is not uncommon for our trips to Yummy Market. We normally spend a minimum of $200 at any given time at this store. So $35 for the cake is not the big issue here. It was the issue of principle that a cake that was recommended by their bakery staff themselves was made with ROTTEN nuts and was actually bitter with toxicity with every bite that had a nut in it...... it was horrible and the birthday party was ruined for the guests due to this and I'm actually worried if anyone is going to be getting sick as a result of it. Needless to say the cake ended up in the trash. When we called the store and spoke with 3 people to see what they can offer is in terms of refund or exchange or partial refund or even store credit - we spoke to customer service rep, bakery manager, store manager - they all insisted that everything is fresh and that we must bring back a whole cake in order to get reimbursed for it...... I explained that the cake was served to guests as it was a party. We didn't even GET AS LITTLE AS AN APOLOGY OR A SMALL GIFT CARD OF $5 or anything to attempt to resolve the situation. This is why I mentioned the amount of money we generally spend at this store, as apparently losing a loyal client over rotten nuts in a cake that they insist was fresh is a nonissue to this store. YUMMY MARKET LOST OUR BUSINESS TODAY. read more

Best fine delicatessen European food in Toronto, at the great price!!! Great choice of cold cuts and over 300 cheeses. Fresh bread is baked in the house, cakes look yummy, and huge selection of chocolate, if you cannot find it here you will not find it in any other stores in the city. read more

The cooked foods here are great, the Dufferin location has poor selection of fruits and vegetables. I do find it challenging sometimes to communicate with the ladies behind the counter- the language barrier has been an issue several times with myself and others I witnessed. I do agree with another review that commented on "attitude". read more
