In my experience, Bulk Barns can be hit or miss. This one is a hit. It really depends on the neighborhood and this BB just happens to be on the edge if the Meadowvale corporate centres. There's a decent amount of traffic so things are replenished and not stale and the patrons are all contentious about health.
I personally like coming here for office snacks. My weakness is the back wall of dried fruits. Sure you have large aisles of candy, one entire aisle of nuts, another if chips and snacks mix, and another of chocolate. But the pure great area of dried figs, blackberry, medjool dates, Turkish apricots, and blueberries is just heaven. At times they'll have mangos too.
The baking section has some great organic and alternative grains. It's quite savvy at picking up the latest trends... Organic quinoa or black forbidden rice? It's here! They also have a section of loose leaf teas! I'm going to come back to try those.
Prices are fair if not better than other stores. I mentioned this place is clean and the cashiers are friendly and fast. Definitely one of the better Bulk
