Sobey's corp actually just bought out Safeway ( gasp). Anyway. They have a decent health food section which I was happy to find , a decent veggie section, mediocre deli section, sad bread area. However they have a nice little bakery area with eclairs , cupcakes etc. But whenever I go there and am being helped by very friendly bakery staff , there is always some pumpkinhead who thinks that they needed to be waited on first just because they may have placed a cake order ahead of time. What is up with that? This one woman actually went behind the counter to get another employee to help her since the male employee was busy getting my order. The male employee: " I will help you in a second ma'am as soon as I am done with these folks" Woman: " I have an order to pick up!" Then she looked at me like Cleopatra, perfectly justified for trying to bump in line in front of me. Her shrill tone brought out another employee to get the Queen's order. The bakery staff handled that potentially irate woman like a boss. Great customer service and team work. They do carry more organic veggies ( which sadly is still not enough) then say Atlantic Superstore BUT they are not in one section together. I try to eat mostly organic veggies but apparently this island is stuck in the dark ages still( look up GMOs , Franken Food etc) So I literally have to hunt around the veggie section since they dont have a logical way of placing their organic produce . Say for instance you can put the regular carrots here , then right by it , put the Organic carrots. Or make a little section with ALL your organic offerings IN ONE PLACE. Because that would make sense and not waste my time. My last nit picky thing is they have the slowest cashiers on the planet but maybe I do need to slow down and not be so uptight since I am on the island to relax and slow down.

What a random and delightful spot to pop into! There lots of good food on this island and we hit…read morethis spot in the way outta town. It's cute!maybe a few spots to sit outside but really it's a take and go situation. Love that you can see their production kitchen. The service was friendly. When I heard my total $ for the order I was like what!! But then when I picked one up and realized the gravity of the situation and took a bite, I totally understood the prices. Absolutely worth a pop in.

This place is awesome! It was busy with a steady flow of both tourists and locals around 11am on a…read moreMonday. The service was fast and the people were friendly and helpful. There were many options, all of which sounded great. I also appreciated the sign listing all their products with center-cut pictures showing the inside of each of the handpies as well as descriptions. Ultimately, we selected three: the PEI Pasty, the chicken pot pie, and the cheesy potato. My favorite was definitely the cheesy potato (which had a filling very similar to a traditional polish perogie, which perfectly showcased the PEI potatoes) but all were delicious! In addition to the scrumptious fillings, the pie dough was great. It had a buttery flavor and had the perfect consistency to have some flakiness without falling apart when eating the handpies. Outside, there were a few picnic tables but all were in the sun, so we sat on our blanket in the shade of a tree to enjoy our pies and hang out with our dogs. We were so happy to have stumbled upon this place because it was a perfect way to end our trip to PEI!

Good place to go when you need to pick up a little of everything. This place is located outside the Summerside mall.

When I got around to visiting this one in Summerside, I was pleased to find a variety of dry ( and some wet) grocery goods. Do not be put off by the rows of candy in barrels, they do have some healthy food in here. Egg replacer, quinoa , organic spelt flour , spouted options , nuts, pumpkin seeds , ready made granola etc. A true gem for people who like to bake , cook and be healthy.
