You'd think that since there are only two aisles, they wouldn't have a lot of stuff, but they manage to fit everything into the tiny store. Toilet paper for 99 cents, an expanding produce section, and $4.99 DVDs (all new releases!). This place has tons more beyond your basic bread, milk and eggs, so if you need something quick, come here instead of Dominion. One downfall -- they're not open very late at all, so you'll have to go for late-night runs to Dominion on College or the 24-hour 7-11 down the street.

This is a very nice, clean, and tidy convenience store. The manager told me they had just…read morerestocked today so she liked that I was taking photos and videos. What makes this store different from other INS Markets is they feature M&M Meats, Cheesecake Factory, and fresh breads. Their wine and beer are also popular. They sell all the typical convenience store items including lottery tickets. I ordered a lottery ticket and a Mild Beef Patty ($2.99). The patty was acceptable. The customer service was excellent. They have been open for 2 years. There is no free WiFi. The store is wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-069

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.

This is a typical Toronto convenience store. With big box stores looming on the horizon,…read moredocumenting these tiny businesses seems more important now than ever. After checking in with the Yelp app, only after years of coming to this store, do I realize that it's name is One Star, kinda cool in itself. They have a decent selection of chips and frozen treats, plus a magazine stand. The wall behind the til is decorated with winning lottery tickets as an incentive to buy. There is also a coffee pot on with a combo deal along with a beef patty. Totally adequate and convenient hours.

Maybe they bank everything on selling lottery tickets? Either way, the little lady that always seems to be running the show when I come in is really nice. April challenge 1/30

This is not about the Metro store, but the Metro delivery…read more Started with their delivery service in the pandemic and they used to have great delivery when they used their own drivers and trucks. With the trucks, we got guaranteed temperature control, accurate updates on delivery with tracking, and they used their own crates to hand deliver your groceries to the door- no bags or boxes. Now Metro uses 3rd party delivery which only uses reusable bags for your groceries - absolutely ridiculous. At least PC express uses cardboard boxes and voila uses paper bags. Moreover, there are no longer accurate and regular updates on our orders and there's even been discrepancies on correct delivery windows. Don't have a problem with the brick and mortar store, but will not be renewing my subscription for delivery again anymore.

All the employees I interacted with were pleasant. If I lived nearby, I'd stop by often.

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.
