A while back, when I used to work at Yonge and Eglinton, I took the subway up to the Passport…read moreCanada location at Yonge, just north of Sheppard. I remember seeing a photo centre in the lobby if you needed a passport photo. Ten years ago, I got my passport renewed at the Passport Office at Scarborough Town Centre. I remember seeing a similar photo centre back then on the main floor. I realized that they are owned by the same folks. Last month, while standing in line at the Passport Canada office in Scarborough to have my documentation checked and to grab a number to head upstairs for part two of my passport renewal process, I looked at the Scarborough Passport Photo Centre in front of me. Although I am not the type who would get my photos taken here first, followed by jumping into the passport lineup, I do like that this photo establishment is here: - If you like that stress to do your photos at the last minute, you can here - If your original photos for your visa, passport, or whatever are either outdated or invalid after speaking to a Passport Canada person, you can get them done here and continue the application process without returning on another day I was envious that there weren't any lineups to get your photo taken. This place had steady business on a Monday afternoon. Prices aren't posted outside the door. While standing in a passport lineup maze, there was a poster of the types of photos that this store does. It didn't have any prices. I find that if you plan ahead to get your passport photos taken, you'll pay less. The best deal that I know of is if you are a CAA Plus or Premier member. Passport photos are free with your membership. Otherwise, it's under $10 if you're a classic CAA member and $20 if you're a non-member. I used to be a CAA member when I had a car that didn't have roadside assitance. My current car does with Toyota, so I haven't had a need to be with CAA. I went with Grace Convenience to get my passport photos done. It was $14.99 for two photos and they worked out nicely. They were done in ten minutes and looked professional. At this place, passport photos are $25. You are paying more for them. However, it does look like a professional studio when you peer into the store. I saw shirts there. My guess is that if your attire isn't suitable for a passport photo, you can change into a shirt that is available at this store. It's brilliant. Hopefully, it's a clean shirt that is laundered after each customer wears it. It's smart to have such a business next to Service Canada for your passport, visa, permanent residence, and more that require a photo with your application. I personally won't be using it as I'm more of a planner who likes to check out prices. However, if you are in a bind for a quality photo, this place is for you. (119)

Dear Yasmin Samji! I am extremely disappointed with the…read morequality of the photo taken at your center. It is completely unsuitable for use in a passport. The skin tone in the photo is so distorted that a person with light skin appears dark. The photo does not look like my real appearance at all. I tried to return the photo and get money, but my requests were ignored and I had to leave. It seems that for you, Canada is just a way to make money and what you write in your preface does not correspond to reality. It is very sad to encounter such an attitude towards clients.

You deserve better as a customer and if you want poor customer service then you can go here, and guess what I hope your package doesn't get lost, because if it does he will not properly help you. I shipped my package from here and it was lost, I asked him for help, he was pretty much useless and was not helping me properly at all. His customer service is horrendous. He needs to fix his attitude and help customers. Please avoid this location at all cost!!! July 5th 2021: I went to pick up my UPS cheque that UPS had sent to him because my package was lost. When I went to pickup my cheque, he was angry at me because I put a bad review. I told him I put this review based on my experience with your poor service. He then went on to harass me. This man should be reported to the authorities, if you go to him for your shipping needs, make sure you know everything so he can't screw with you. Stay far away from this location!

I'm inclined to think they lie like another review says about the same location ... i called them and they lied by repeating what they said in the store that signature required will not appear on the label and then changed their story saying it has to be on the label right after they we're saying it's not going to be on the label ... they lie lie lie ... good luck getting a refund if your package gets lost ...

This despite the fact that there were 4-5 employees doing other things. Because I had so much time, I looked at the buying some frames. However, the shelves were such a mess with frames put into slots with different items mixed together that it became impossible to figure anything out. Ultimately, my biggest complaint was that I had I to come back to the store multiple times because the manager lied to me and then refused to acknowledge the problem. I will definitively take my business elsewhere. I pointed this all out to the manager and he could not care less.

I really enjoy the vibes here but do keep in mind the store is slightly below ground level and there are stairs going down so not wheelchair accessible.

Turns out they are in their soft opening currently where they opened about a week or two ago. Despite the coffee shop in the front of the store, they also have a photo lab at the back of the space. I saw lots of film being sold as well as overheard that they have processing services as well. I primarily came to try their coffee so I can't comment much on the photo lab services. Coffee wise the menu is basic and simple. A bit on the pricer side compared to other coffee shops in the city. They use Hatch coffee beans. I ordered a flat white to consume there. The staff were friendly and attentive and my drink was made at a reasonable time. The flat white was great. As I sipped on my drink, I admired the photography on display. They also have photography books to browse through as well! Overall, great new addition to the Chinatown area. Love the coffee and photo lab concept. Definitely would return to spend time in the space for a coffee!
