This is a very small convenience store, tucked away on the north side of Pinnacle Centre condos. It…read morefelt crowded in there but the aisles were wide enough for a single person to pass through. They appear to sell things commonly found at a convenience store. They sell lottery tickets. If you happen to want to pay for the tickets by credit card, you can pay an extra $0.50 or buy another food item. The 2 staff were courteous. There is no free WiFi. The store is no wheelchair accessible (aisles are too narrow). There are no customer washrooms. Review 2022-109

I love this neighborhood convenience store. It's family run, and has a lot of cheaper essentials --…read moreCheese, Milk, Bread, Coffee... you name it, it's cheaper here. Thankfully I live across the street from it and can rely on it pretty well. The only reason I give it 4/5 is because of the hours. They close at 10 or just after on weekdays, that's too early! And Really early on Sundays -- but they are open on holidays. The family who runs it are very nice, and recognize their regulars. It's a great place.

Came to Elm Basket to get a copy of my key and fob. Their prices are very reasonable - if I recall…read morecorrectly, it was about $6 per key copy and $30 for a fob. This is by far cheaper than some other fob places (eg. Mini Fob) where it's closer to $80! They were able to get all my items copied (2 keys and 1 fob) in about 5-10 minutes while I waited. My fob worked perfectly fine but my cut keys do NOT work - they were not cut very precisely so one doesn't turn in the lock at all, and the second does turn but gets jammed easily. Overall I would recommend them to get your fob done, but I would suggest you go elsewhere to get some keys cut.

However, I have come to this store a few times to buy or collect winnings from lottery tickets. The older woman is pleasant while the younger woman is just average when it comes to customer service. The store is clean and well-lit.

The people where nice, but when i pass this place, I can see some people smoking weed. The people that run the place are nice, and this place IS very popular. The snacks and food there are over priced, $3 for a small bag of chips while I can buy that same bag a chips a block away for $2. A bottle of coke was also $3 but I could have bought a bigger bottle for the same price. I would have given it a 4/5 if the prices weren't so ridiculous.

This is a small INS Market convenience store. The staff member is extremely friendly…read more They sell all the typical convenience store items, including lottery tickets. They do sell small plushies, which I've never seen at an INS Market before, only at bigger stores like Shoppers Drug Mart. There is no free WiFi.  The store is wheelchair accessible.

This is an odd little convenience store.

Also, the shelves don't look like they came from five different convenience stores and were mashed together.

I lived around the corner from this place for about a year so I would frequent it often for "safe"…read moreitems such as pop, chips, non-perishable food items and cigarettes -- items dodgy convenient stores move frequently and don't sit on the shelves for years collecting dust. I should have stuck to this rule but one day I guess I decided it would be alright to pick up a box of cereal. I figured that sort of thing takes a long time to expire so I grabbed Multigrain Cheerios and was on my way. When I had my first bowl I knew something was wrong -- it was very stale and tasted like sawdust. To my surprise the front of the box was advertising the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney... I bought the cereal in 2002. So even though this place is fine for your usual convenient store items I would highly suggest staying away from any food. And if you do find yourself browsing those items then make sure you check the expiration date because they likely have tins of beans from 1997.

Nestled amid some of Corktown's extraordinary furniture shops and the Little Trinity Anglican…read moreChurch historic redevelopment project is this small, unassuming convenience store. You know, the type that offers your coffee in the morning. A sandwich. Newspapers and magazines. A small number of grocery items. Gum. Pop. Milk. So why does this place turn me on? Because, behind their stacks of pop cases and unkempt shelves, I sense a subtle vibe here that tells me that these people are doing The Best They Can With The Tools They Have in such a way where subtle, elegant grace helps supercede the limitations of their space. They could have served coffee from a single, scarred, greasy pot, like so many other convenience stores. But no, they've taken the extra step to offer five varieties of really good joe. They're not a Starbucks either, but that doesn't stop them from keeping some store-brand cinnamon next to the coffee. Pour and stir and enjoy the classical or light jazz they've tuned the sound system to. They have virtually no space to speak of, but that doesn't stop them from fitting two dining tables inside the place. (Although, if I were them, I'd use the rustic ambience of the historic building next door to make an outside patio enclosure.) They could offer pre-packaged sandwiches at high mark-up. But, again, no. They offer full deli services with everything from BLTs to breakfasty sandwiches to bulgogi wraps to a variety of salads. For the weight-conscious and quick-protein-seeking, they even offer simple, plain hardboiled eggs. Run by a very friendly Asian family, they even go an extra mile and offer bi bim bop (Wednesdays), miso soup, and dumplings. You run a business? They cater breakfast and lunch. Ok, it's cramped and not terribly aesthetic. But sometimes you have to just appreciate it when you can easily see that someone is trying very hard to be the best with what they have, and that's reason enough to offer your patronage.

My workplace's local corner store. We call it "Circle C". Run by a lovely group of Korean ladies…read more They are all very nice. There is a good selection of drinks and pre-packaged food (like chips and chocolate bars) and every once in a while I'll find something I've never seen/tried before. What separates Circle C from most other corner stores is that they have a kitchen in the back. There are always two or three woman who can be seen working away in the back, getting food ready. And the food is pretty good. There is a selection of breakfast and lunch options, in addition to some Korean dishes like Bim-bop. They do something with a BLT that I can't quite put my finger on. Ancient Korean secret, I suppose. The meat-to-bread ratio on some of their pre-made sandwiches is off-putting sometimes and their pizza burrito never quite cooks all the way through, but everything else is quite nice. And the prices are right. The thing I love the most? The lady behind the counter bows as she presents (not hands) the food to you. It's very nice.
