I have always struggled with calcium supplements as they make me sick. Ambrosia staff not only helped me find a plant based supplement but one that has no effects on my stomach!! There are an abundance of vegan treats all throughout the store in every department it is a paradise! Prices are reasonable and I can honestly say it is an amazing atmosphere! So clean, so organized and wonderful! Thank you for existing!!

Visited this brand new Ambrosia Natural Foods store today, I have visited their other two…read morelocations, in Toronto and Thornhill so knew what to expect. Lots of room and aisle space at this location. Located right at the busy intersection of Davis Dr and Yonge St, have to get to this location from Davis Dr westbound or Yonge St northbound due to the intersection concrete barriers. Plenty of well stocked shelves, lots of inventory, will take awhile in order for more folks to know this location and be busier but I really enjoyed the friendly customer service provided here on my visit. They offer lots of natural, organic foods/brands that you don't see at many of the mainstream stores.

Superior product organically grown 2lb+ beefsteak tomatoes…read moreshould say it all, but wait there's more... Come back each week like the movies to see what's new, kale cucumbers beans broccoli and get this ... a cauliflower that's too big for a grocery bag! Really! Worth the drive. Frome one country girl gardener turned tech... Their phenomenally fresh produce is as good as picking from your own backyard garden (minus the bugs burns and bath needed after working it). In fact we shop there until our own produce is ready in our large garden, and it's every bit as scrumptious. You can drive up the greenhouse drive or skip the commute and meet them at one of the many farmers markets listed in the locations section. Well... Hard core TOers will need to schlep it north of 7... Really you can't see the edge of the world from there... Even though you think you might :) View the extensive list of produce in the what we grow page. Also hours are funky re hours website vs real so you may want to call first. Def not open til 8pm on a Saturday like the website said at the time, but they let us buy a few things anyways. Cash is best.

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. Dislikes: cornbread (actually worst I've EVER had in my life) it instantly crumbles, it's dry, bland but aesthetically pleasing. I Was given savory scone for substitute, still shit. Both items WAY TOO DRY.

This is a good health food store, and I can usually find what I need. They have a nice variety of…read morefresh fruits and vegetables, and the selection of healthy products is quite good. However, I find the prices to be very high, which makes it difficult to shop here regularly. Overall, it's a good store, but I wish the prices were more reasonable.

The lighting is very odd. Can't get use to that, but it's bearable for the short term…read more But the sound space I can't bear. It's not 'organic' at all. Silence would be IDEAL, like at Costco where thus I prefer to shop. Here, music constantly blares into your ears & head as you try to focus on shopping. Makes me want to spend as little time as possible there. I went once last week, and don't ever want to return. Plus, call me different, but I don't want food that's been subject to weeks of music that doesn't suit; I suspect it can subtly change the food's makeup to affect you psychically. So, foods with a low-turnover rate that sit around there for long, no thanks. On the plus side, they do have a large variety of good food.

It's great that Nature's Emporium is slowly expanding and opening new locations in the GTA, and…read morethis one downtown is certainly a welcomed addition. Everything here is organic - from the produce to ingredients in the ready-to-go meals and products. There are a wide variety of homemade soups, pizza station serving thin-crust pizza made of spelt flour (including vegan options), various salads, and more. Note that the hot food bar is only open on weekdays (to serve the office crowd), but they have other great and healthy grab-and-go options. Weekend grocery shopping here is quiet and not as crowded as in most other supermarkets, making it a pleasant experience. I love the variety of products they offer - lots of high-quality, gluten-free, organic, and vegan products and brands that are not commonly found in most other mainstream grocery stores. There are bulk nuts, tempeh, hummus, and the biggest variety of plant-based milks and nut butters I have seen in any supermarket. The bags they provide for produce are compostable. They have tables and seating areas for eating, and a gender-neutral and wheelchair-accessible washroom. Limited-time parking is available in the underground private parking lot. You can get the parking ticket validated by the cashier.

We went last weekend, it was a lot of people and kids there. This is a huge farm that lots of…read morevarieties to pick. Now it's a good time to pick strawberries, raspberry, blueberries, peas, and corns. There are wagons to take ppl from one field to another. We got off at the strawberry field, but we don't really into the strawberry, so just took a look; then we got to the raspberry field, they looked good, but we barely eat raspberry; then we went to the Blueberry field, our destination was here. We saw another side of the field was having big blueberries, but they didn't open that side to us. And they said it was noon already, most of the big ones had been picked. I tasted a few, they were sort of big, but soured. We moved to other sides, but still the same. When we went home, most of them we made smoothies with honey. We also went to the peas field, not too many people. The peas were so sweet that we could eat them raw. But we went home to boil them with the skin, the skin was hard to eat, it was not snow peas, and too expensive when weighed with the skin. Good experience for the kids. They were happy.

Was disappointed last year but still gave it another chance this year. Sadly, even more…read moredisappointed this year to see how much the experience has declined. What was once a special local farm and family tradition now feels increasingly commercialized. We were charged $7 per person just to enter and take our annual photo by the growth chart, even though we weren't using the playground. We have been taking photos of our kids at the growth chart for over 15 years. The market was also significantly overpriced: the same Niagara peaches that sold for about $7 at grocery stores were $16, and corn was $1.25 per ear compared with 24 cents at a local grocery store. The frozen yogurt, once made with fresh fruit from the farm and real yogurt is now a frozen premix product loaded with sugar and tastes horrible. The issue isn't simply higher prices, it's paying more for lower quality and a less authentic experience. After 16 years of returning, our family will no longer be among those customers. If these changes continue, Barrie Hill Farm risks losing many of the loyal families who helped support it for years.
