How does a supermarket get two stars. Well let me explain. I have given this Highland farms in…read moreVaughan multiple chances to redeem itself in terms of its downfalls. Their shelves are filled with expired sauces, and condiments. You have to look at each bottle as there are products that have been expired for months. The fresh chicken and I used that loosely, has an old odor to it. You always have to check the chicken before you buy it. Finally, my last straw was buying the pizza slices at their takeout counter. The undercarriage was raw in both cases and in both times that I've tried their pizza. It is absolutely brutal. I would give this supermarket a one star rating, however it is normally empty which I find benefits the customer. Not sure how long this location will stick around.

I spotted this new supermarket as I made a left turn from Highway 27 onto Finch Avenue West. I was…read moreheading to Wok of Asia to have some dinner. I needed to pick up a few grocery items, so dropping by Food World Supermarket afterwards was perfect. This building used to Rose Garden Banquet and Convention. I'm guessing that due to the pandemic, this business suffered and shut down. There is plenty of parking in front and around this supermarket. I backed into a spot and walked in. The doors automatically open, which is wonderful. This supermarket is located across from Burger King. I often frequent it when I crave a flame-broiled burger. Both are in the same plaza as Wok of Asia. It's clean and cheerful when you first walk in. You see cases of pop and sparking water. The produce section then greets you. I needed avocados and celery. Prices are either comparable to what you see at grocery stores like No Frills, but the quality is better. Both produce items that I grabbed were fresh and in great condition. This grocery store carries halal items. It features a lot of South Asian products, such as Parle-G and paratha. You also see ramen and Ribena, both of which made me love shopping at this store even more. I saw everything from custard to paneer. It does sell corned beef in cans and rose water in glass bottles. Cool! The meat section is impressive. It's huge with every cut of meat that you can possibly think of. You can get food to go. There's a stall within the supermarket where you can get pizza, shawarma, and more. I paid for my produce. The woman at the checkout was extremely pleasant and nice. I paid with my debit card. This store gives you a plastic bag. I thanked her and headed to the exit. Just before you exit, there's a stall that sells desserts, ice cream, drinks, and more. I asked the woman behind the counter whether their drinks have added sugar. They don't. The store goes with the natural sweetness of their fruit or veggies. I wanted to get the sugar cane and coconut hydrating beverage. She had run out of coconut, so I got a large sugar cane drink. As she made my drink, I looked at the desserts display. There were individual portions of chocolate mousse cake and sponge cakes. You can also get milkshakes, ice cream, and more. She asked whether I wanted ice in my sugar cane drink. I said as much as the cup could fit the ice. It was perfect on a hot day. I asked the nice woman how long this supermarket has been open for. It opened on May 18th. I paid with my debit card. Done! I thanked the woman and left with my groceries and drink. The sugarcane was indeed the real deal. It was naturally sweet and yummy. I was happy with my drink. It was nice consuming it as I drove home. Whenever I was in the area to grab some dinner, there was never a supermarket close by to get a few grocery items. It's definitely more convenient now thanks to this Food World. (174)

I have been to this Longo's a handful of times over the years. Most of these visits happened well…read morebefore I knew what Yelp was. I was going to a Yelp elite event recently and had a bit of time to spare. I needed to get some celery and popped by this Longo's, which happens to be steps away from where the event was. It hit me that I drank too much hot tea at work and my bladder needed some attention. This store has two washrooms. The one that I visited was clean and nicely stocked. I then hit the produce aisle. Sure, prices at Longo's tend to be higher than at No Frills. However, the produce is super fresh at this store. It took my breath away. It was almost as if a produce photo shoot was about to happen, but it's really how it looks daily. The craziest discovery was looking at the huge brussel sprouts at this store. It's like someone fed them steroids. I held one on my hand and it felt like I was about to change a light bulb. It was insanely huge! I was admiring the Daiya line of dairy-free cheezecakes. I also loved seeing my beloved Portuguese egg tarts at the bakery. Some specialty items included parm crisps. If you don't have time to make your own, you have two varieties at this store to pick up and enjoy. I also had fun looking at Holy Crap breakfast cereal. Although it was priced at $11 a bag, I polled a few of my friends, including one of my interns, who all said that it's delicious. I love when I learn about a product and it ends up being yummy! The cashier was great. I paid for my celery and happily walked out with it to my car. It was nice being back at this grocery store. I need to visit it more often. It's awesome. (86)

It is all greed and no appreciation for regular customer's loyalty. Well, they just lost a customer and I hope whoever read this post to do the same.

Coppa's seems to be a local grocery chain with only three locations nearby Toronto - North York, Scarborough and King City. The aisles are wide, the space is clean, fruits, vegetables, meat seem fresh and produce neatly stacked together. They have a huge butcher section, bakery aisle, prepared foods and more. It was not busy at all Sunday late afternoon. Many times it felt like a private grocery shopping experience. Unlike Chinatown, Walmart, Costco and other chains, where sometimes you would feel like your groceries are all picked on. The prices are moderate and pretty reasonable overall. I mostly purchased fresh produce so didn't notice the prices of the packaged goods. They don't tend to stock inhouse cheap brands, like No Name and Great Value but all moderate priced brands. There seem to be deals to be had like broccoli and flour on sale. The 2.5kg Robinhood flour bag was cheaper than even Walmart. I would've wanted a 5kg bag but it was sold out. Though I would say the butter was quite expensive, $7 was the cheapest option, and it was their own Coppa-branded butter, which was just one block, not even divided into sticks. The next alternative is $8 for premium Country-churned with pre-packaged sticks. Was a bit of a splurge for two blocks. I wonder if I would be able to taste the difference between cheap and expensive butter. If I'm in the area again I'll like to try their baked goods next.

I tried the dinner special (roast beef with gravy, mashed potatoes, and rapini) and it was absolutely delicious. Tasted like something I'd make at home, except no dishes to clean, which is a win. It cost $20 for one portion, not cheap but worth it for a comforting, ready-to-eat meal. I'm also a fan of their fresh options like fruit trays, veggie trays, and the chicken Caesar salad. Great for quick grab-and-go meals. That said, there are a couple of downsides. The pastries aren't great we tried the red velvet cheesecake and regular cheesecake and both were overly sweet and forgettable. Also, the wooden knife and fork they give you with hot meals are just not it. I gave up halfway and took my food home to eat it with proper cutlery.

So far we've visited a couple of times. First was right when it opened at 7 am and that's probably…read morethe best time to shop since it's highly unlikely you'll run into another customer at that hour and there was tons of covered parking spots available. The second visit was mid-morning on a weekday. Since the store is rather large you're still unlikely to come into close contact with another customer. The aisles are wide and what I found different about this location was that there's a lot of refrigerated products within the centre of the store and not only on the periphery. There is a single queue for the cashiers and an employee holding balloons let those in line know if a cashier was free to assist them in checking out. It was a bit of a wait but if you're shopping with another person one can wait in line while the other continues to browse.

Seen this place transform from their old, not so tidy to their updated and more refreshed appearance. Compared to other grocery stores I still find No Frills chains the most affordable one. I can get my grass fed steaks here not ripping off my budget. They offer some organic stuff too, though its limited. The produce is alright you'll find good ones specially when they are fully stocked. Its great that this location is so diversed that they cater products from different background. They have the aisle for Kosher products, aisle for International foods and Halal meats and so on. I don't miss swinging by the Natural Food aisle. I'm glad that most of my stuff I use they have it here. This location don't offer yet the self checkout corner, seen some places they have it already but this one, you'll do the traditional queuing to cash out. I guess that's better, meaning more people are still employed than a machine. The people who works in this location is always approachable. You see them sweeping, stacking or putting away stuffs they will always throw you a smile and happy to assist you. I use my optimum card to collect my PC points and boy, I'm in heaven when its time to use my accumulated points! Who doesn't like big savings??? Location is just at the intersection of Bathurst and Wilson just around the corner with TD bank beside it, which also they share space for parking.

Today, I was in Vaughan for a late lunch. Afterwards, I needed to do some grocery shopping. I did a…read moresearch and found out that this Giant Tiger (GT) was a three-minute drive away. Sweet! This GT is next to Costco and across from Shoeless Joe's. It was your usual craziness at Costco on a Saturday afternoon, but it was quieter in front of GT. I pulled through to park and headed over to the entrance. This store gave me Bed, Bath, and Beyond vibes. I was close. When I looked at this store's listing on Google Maps before heading over here, it showed a photo of buybuy Baby, which was a subsidiary of Bed, Bath, and Beyond. This GT is huge. It's probably one of the larger ones that I have ever shopped at. It was nice. I'm not ready to see Fall fashions. Heck, I can't down pumpkin spice anything because I still have the air conditioning on and I'm wearing summery clothing. This place had everything from lightweight puffy jackets, to comfy autumn-inspired joggers. I'll shop for all things autumnal when the time is right. It's not time yet. I came for groceries. This section was impressive. Most freezers are upright and modern. I loved them. The one freezer that wasn't with the McCain Pizza Pockets was cool. The glass lids opened effortlessly up when you gently lifted them. It was so nice and unexpected. The floors were spotless and extremely shiny. I tend to go to established GTs where the floors haven't had that shine in years! This store is obviously a newer one. This store gets full marks for offering Crush sugar-free liquid water enhancers. I last bought the orange maybe two years ago and it's so good. I haven't seen them in stock for ages. This place has them in orange, grape, strawberry, and pineapple. I grabbed the grape and pineapple. I am looking forward to trying them. I like getting groceries at GT. They are cheap and of good quality. Celery was $2.29. Eggs were $3.87. They didn't look like a hurricane had touched down and there were sad slim pickings. Everything was in pristine condition. I was happy to see Pocky at this store. The GTs that I frequent don't have any. If you love plushies, especially Squishmallows, the selection at this store is excellent. I didn't get any, but I wanted everything. You have the option of using the self-checkouts (there were four of them) or getting cashed out by a human. I chose the latter. One of the self-checkout kiosks was out of service. I felt like the woman at the checkout would be perfect. She was helping answer a question that a woman at the self-checkout had. The customer was scanning a bra and asked whether she could return it. At first, the female staffer said yes. She then decided to call her manager. The verdict? Nope, you can't return it. It was good to know. I also appreciated that this staffer took it a step further to ask. She asked if I had a GT VIP membership. I did and gave her my cell number associated with it. I then paid with a credit card. Done! I put all my groceries in my reusable bag. I thanked her and left. It's nice that there's this GT is Vaughan. I had a great experience and look forward to coming back more often. (332)
