The second for some family groceries. The variety of food is incredible, fresh, and well organized. The people working there are friendly and helpful. There is a wonderful space to sit inside and outdoors to drink coffee, eat, and hang. Best part? It's actually affordable. We bought groceries for the whole family for a week, fresh produce with some specialty foods, and it cost us less than an arm and a leg

I got some shortbread toffee cookies and custard Portuguese tarts. They were to die for!! The desserts tasted so fresh and really great quality - you can tell the care put into the baking and the amazing ingredients used. The cookies were moist and just the right amount of sweetness and the custard tarts were creamy and the shell was crispy. Also this business is family owned, which is so nice to see in Ontario. The produce is really great and it's a very upscale grocery store. It's on the pricier side but you can definitely see the difference in quality. Customer service is also really great!! I would recommend Market Fresh for your dessert and produce needs when grocery shopping. They also have some nice ready made items. If it was closer to me I'd go every week! #MarketFreshGuelph

Excellent bakery. Busy, but friendly and helpful behind the counter…read more MF was my go-to for bakery and basics, but then the new no-bag policy began. You must either carry their basket or push a cart around. Both are big and bulky and patrons end up running into each other or hitting one another in the very narrow aisles. And if you try to avoid the policy, their security and will hassle you. I understand that theft has been an issue, but when I show up at the cashier to pay for my purchases, I don't expect to treated with distain and scorned for having no basket.

Lots to choose from, and some healthier options should you be so inclined. Personal favs: Pakora, chili, tofu salad, or really most of the salads. Pumpkin muffin & chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.

Both items WAY TOO DRY.

Ultra mart! You're open 24 hours. You had the maps that the rental car company *didn't* give me. You had Sensodyne toothpaste. You had Advil (but no Alleve or other NSAIDs... odd). You had chocolate bars. You even had Natracare organic cotton tampons. It was a long day. Thank you for being there for me.

They have a scowl on their face...they look miserable. I feel uncomfortable and it is very unpleasant to be around such people. My roommate has encountered the same problem. It is a shame that few miserable people bring down the rating of the store. Perhaps they are affected by the magnetic poles.

It has food! It has basics!…read more I typically stop in here after I've bought my splurge items (fruits, veggies, meat) elsewhere and just pick up the more random odds and ends. The prices on many stock items are much lower than other grocery stores in town, but they probably won't have every item on your shopping list and have somewhat inconsistent stock -- especially if you're looking for "higher end" goods or organics. Still, Food Basics is true to its name, so there's something to be said for that.

I waited about 5 mins or longer maybe, long enough to know clearly she wasn't going to serve me and she didn't put a sign that says it's closed and she didn't explain anything to me. So I threw all items back into the cart, and left the store. Another time it was also at the till. It was my turn, but just before the teller did anything, a staff came in and opened the cash drawer and started counting. The teller turned to me and said that 'this' (whatever 'this' is) has to be done first. This time I waited and when the staff finished, I was served.
