I'll start by saying that the craftsmanship here is excellent. It's probably the best shoe repair…read morestore I have found in Toronto, and I've come here multiple times. So why am I only leaving a two-star review? Because the shop is a one-person operation, and when the owner is away there is no backup. I've come to the store several times to find a note on the door saying that they are closed for the day. In 2023, it's not too much to ask for a business to have a website - or even a Twitter feed - that notifies people if they are closed. But even in the absence of an online presence, the store could at least have a recorded message that people can hear when they call in. Guess what? The owner hasn't even bothered to set up his voicemail. Not all of us have the free time to drive halfway across town multiple times just to find the shop closed. Not all of us have the luxury of waiting extra days past the promised delivery date to pick up our shoes. This is the kind of business that I want to support, and it gives me no pleasure to give a low review to a guy who does great work. But when the shop can't deliver a basic service reliably, that's what we're left with.

She…read morewent out of her way to arrange a pick up for me at my condo and noted special instructions for when I want to come collect the item at your store when it is ready (I want to get it from your Dundas location instead of having it delivered as it is a time sensitive item).

I have also had many wonderful conversations with Donna over the years and have appreciated the level of service provided at the counter at your Dundas and Bloor West Village stores. I have a 20+ year background in Hospitality and Customer Relationship Management, so I truly appreciate it when ppl are professional and polished. It doesn't get recognized enough! Thank you again, Angela & Donna and team!

The owner, Bijan, charged me $20…read more This is a small (the size of a pea) metal piece that costs about a dime and takes 30 seconds to set. I thought my local neighborhood shop would do just fine, and indeed, the work was fine, but at $20 to do less than--let's be generous--five minutes of work, this thief is making, at minimum, $240 per hour. Do yourself a favour, do a little research beforehand so you don't get swindled into paying more than what's fair. After posting in my local neighborhood social media group, the sentiments from the others were the same--egregiously overpriced. Buyer beware.

Mustafa Dry Cleaners, sewing and alterations is a great shop, super fast with very good prices…read more It is located in the concourse area of TTC's Islington Subway Station, one level down from the street level, near the stairs leading to the buses. Not only does the owner do dry cleaning at a reasonable rate. He did some pants alterations for me. Turning a pair of long pants into a pair of shorts I needed for work, a perfect fit. He also repaired a blanket that needed extensive stitching, a perfect job. He offered to have the repair and alteration done the same day, but I said it was OK and picked it up the next day. Thank you.

I tried this place after getting tired of paying what felt like excessively priced dry cleaning fees from the place upstairs in Bloor Islington Place. A few cleanings and hems later and I have been happy with the results. Shirts are $5 to clean. I forget exactly how much for a full suit but I know its over $5 cheaper than upstairs, so lets call it $15 at most. $6 hems, which if you drop off in the morning will be ready that afternoon for pickup. The only way you can get into this area is if you're coming off the MiWay buses or pay the TTC fare, so that may be a discouraging reason for some to use these guys... But as a metropass carrying individual, it's actually pretty convenient to grab my stuff before jumping on the subway to head home for the day.
