I was provided with a service appointment date of June 3, with an expected arrival window between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. for a Taskrabbit assembler named Abby to complete the assembly of my IKEA furniture. When Abby did not arrive within the scheduled timeframe, I contacted him directly and was given information that conflicted with the appointment details I had received. I then contacted IKEA, through whom the assembly service had been arranged. After navigating multiple automated prompts and speaking with customer service representatives, the assembly was rescheduled for the same day at 3:00 p.m. Unfortunately, 3:00 p.m. came and went without Abby arriving. At approximately 3:30 p.m., attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, as he did not answer his phone. Despite spending the better part of an entire day communicating with IKEA's chatbot, AI support systems, several customer service representatives, Taskrabbit, and the assigned assembler, the task that had been paid for was never completed. While the IKEA customer service representatives I spoke with were courteous and genuinely tried to assist, neither IKEA, Taskrabbit, nor the assigned Tasker were ultimately able to resolve the issue or fulfill the service commitment. To date, I have never received a follow-up explanation from Abby regarding the missed appointment. As a result of this experience, I cannot recommend either IKEA's assembly service or Taskrabbit unless customers are confident they can assemble the furniture themselves or have an alternative arrangement in place. When problems arise, there appears to be a lack of accountability and communication, leaving customers without answers and wasting valuable time. read more

I'm specifically talking about IKEA's Swedish Thursday promotion, where all main dishes were 50% off--so yes, there was a lineup. That said, the service was quick and efficient. I ordered the 8-piece Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, peas, and lingonberry jam ($8.99), and received $4.50 off. I also added 4 extra meatballs for $2.50. In total, a 12-piece meatball entrée came to just $7.57 after tax--great value. The only thing missing was a little Swedish flag for decoration--lol. read more

Was at IKEA for their Thursday 50% off entrees event. You also get a single use coupon on your receipt to use for the day. This promotion comes around a few times a year, so keep an eye out for it as the current cycle has ended! Having had several of their entrees now, we tried their vegetarian option and found it pretty impressive. The Plant Balls were pretty good and at the half price promotion is a great option if you aren't feeling like meat that day or as a vegetarian option. You still get the peas and mashed potatoes and sauce as sides. I'd actually prefer this to the salmon entree as I'm not a fan of the sauce. There is seating on the ground floor as well as ample seating on the mezzanine between the 1st and 2nd floor for patrons. Looking forward to grabbing the deal once it is back again! read more

I love coming to this IKEA. It's not big nor does it have the full eatery but it's regularly got a lot of promotions and has a lot of products. Just watch out during move in season for the universities in September this place can run low on stock. They regularly have different types of meal promos and they have all the other regular promos like kids eat free Wednesday. They have a small as-is section on the second floor that only seems to get small stuff. read more

A compact Ikea so don't expect to be able to go home with a new living room. It's a great option for the small things so you don't have to travel out of the core, but unfortunate that when you like something you see in the showroom and want it (furniture-wise), it's likely not available. Veggie plate is okay. Gave me the sustenance to shop so it did it's job! read more

The actual service by the workers was good. The location and process of purchasing and parking are terrible!! If you have a car you're better off going to one of the actual locations. The parking lot is half a kilometre away, and they do not even validate parking.... We were not aware of this and had lunch there. Parking ended up being $23. Plus you have to sign out a kart and bring it back from the lot. The selection is limited, most items you need to have delivered, add another $19-$39 to your bill. Maybe $60 is the cost of convenience?! The cafe does not have a large selection and the meat balls seemed smaller than they use to be. I would not recommend this location unless you're just walking in the area and need to grab a quick pillow or something. read more

I am so envious of this IKEA, Montreal really should have a downtown IKEA as well. Well located which essentials and well organized. I needed some bins to put in my kallax bookshelf and I was pleased to see they had all colours and fabrics available at this location. Makes it super easy to grab what you need and walk back to your hotel. Clear sections and tons of choice, they also have self cashiers and a food counter so you can even just pop in for a hot dog! read more

I detest self-checkout, and avoid it wherever I find it. The red-haired male, (@ 3:48 pm - incidentally, my favourite Ferrari-time), asked me if I needed help, and I explained the situation. He "instructed" me to place my items on the platform. I handed them to him. Incensed by me, (that was easy ), he "instructed" me to place the items down. From there, it becomes a bit blurry, except to say that he is working there. I am paying there. If I hand him my products, it's not beneath him to take them from me and give me excellence in service. He did, however, proceed to lecture me about how giving him my products was not what he "told me to do". Isn't that an interesting choice of words? Is he my captor? He also recited my rights as to "he doesn't have to serve me at all", and that if I "continued to speak to him in that way..." you know the rest. Poor Shmoopie. He's in the service industry, but hasn't any idea what that entails, including to grow a thick skin, and thank his stars that he's got a job at all. Also, I gave him the farthest thing from a hard time. He's a wimp. read more

I love that there's an IKEA that opened right at the heart of downtown Toronto this year! IKEA is bringing life to Shops at Aura, which is a bit of a ghost town. They desperately needed an anchor retail store like Ikea to get more traffic to those small businesses downstairs, especially the food court. I was skeptical that this smaller Ikea location would have much but they have all the essentials well laid out: Including plants, washroom, kitchen and storage section etc. They also have a cafe on the main floor, offering the standard Ikea meals and free coffee during your Ikea visit with your free membership. It's a great addition to the city. It makes it easy to get home inspo while walking downtown without making a special trip. On this visit, I found a new stone planter for a reasonable price. read more

Normally, I find IKEA to be such an overwhelming experience that I dislike it, but this store is a nice pared-down version that it actually seems manageable! Suburban folks would probably scoff at the downtown size, but this IKEA is catered to condo-dwellers in their 20s and 30s. The store is big enough that you can get a quick bite to eat, although the line can be a little long and the seating in the mezzanine is limited! I want to give one employee a shout-out: thanks to Destiny! I'm not a big IKEA aficionado, so I didn't know how great their return policy was. I bought some home textiles that ended up to be too itchy for me, and thanks to Destiny who helped me at check-out, I knew that I could return them instead of keeping them and being miserable that they that didn't agree with my skin. I came back again the next day to return it and unexpectedly ended up buying more things! Such great customer service. read more

The grand opening was 2022-05-25. There are located at Yonge and Gerrard, occupying 2 floors of the Aura building. There are 6,200 square meters (or 66,000 sq ft) of shopping space. Ikea started 1943 in Sweden and about 1976 in Canada.  This is their first downtown store so it is more compact and is dubbed XS Store (for eXtra Small). It is considered small when compared to the 4 other full-size Toronto-area stores. They have regular shopping carts, yellow pull carts, and large yellow bags. They are sanitized between use. They are primarily a furniture store for every room of a house or condo, including outdoor patios. A traditional Ikea has a restaurant, a bistro, and a Swedish food market. In this store, it is all combined in a single "Swedish Deli". It support 3 types of dining: indoors, takeout, or groceries for cooking. Swedish Deli on the ground has a different and limited menu for fast meals. There are a few counter seats on the ground floor and many tables on half a floor up. It is designed for downtown people who just want to come for a quick meal indoors or takeout, without having to walk through the entire store to get to it; there is a specialentrance/exit. They have 4 self-order kiosks that have descriptions and ingredients of each item. There are fewer hot food and more cold dishes than their restaurant. They expanded their 6-piece Swedish meatballs ($7.49) to include different versions for the diverse demographic: veggie ($5.49), plant-based ($6.99), and chicken ($8.49). They even have kid versions with plant ($3.99) and chicken ($4.49). They kept low prices for certain items: coffee ($1.00), Nordic fruit water ($1.50), hot dog ($1.00), cinnamon bun ($1.50), frozen yogurt ($2.00), strawberry plant based frozen treat ($2.00). Note: with an Ikea membership card, you get free coffee. Now about non-food shopping (I reviewed the restaurant part first - what did you expect from a foodie?!) You can apply for free Ikea membership where you get specials and points for purchases. These points can be used for purchases. There are 2 ground floor entrance and 1 entrance on the second floor. They have the typical arrow projected onto the floors but the corridors are wide enough that people can go both directions. You can use the Ikea app to scan the bar code of an item to get a description and price. Then you can choose whether to add it to your virtual cart. When you are ready to checkout, it can generate a QR code to scan at special app self-checkout kiosks. This makes it very fast to checkout. Currently they have a single line for regular self-checkout and app checkout. I suggested to a manager that they have separate lines and he loved that idea. They have all their typical departments including areas where you can use a computer to design what your room would look like with their products. There were many staff present to answer questions. There is free WiFi. The store is wheelchair accessible including an elevator go go between the 2 floors. There are separate male/female/family washrooms, all of which are also wheelchair accessible. There is a paid parking lot (enter from Gerrard St) inside the Shops  At Aura complex. Review 2022-066 You can also find me on Instagram @chuan_chee. Thanks. read more

I usually go to this IKEA store for the free coffee per day. Last time I went to get a soup bowl as it's good quality and it's cheap. Restaurant lineup was okay as long as you don't go around 1pm. I found the line up was bad then. I did the self checkout for the bowl as well so I would say it's pretty fast, but no service to comment on. This is the 2nd bowl that I got, I recommend it as it's the perfect size for noodle soup. This IKEA is good for getting the smaller stuff, and just to see how things look. For beds and sofa, you'll have to do shipping probably easier. read more

Standard ikea, with some fridges for frozen food. But the menu is extremely limited and the kitchen is super small. Line up is like 40 ppl Long for hotdogs... half the menu items are missing... they don't have the hotdog combo 2 dogs and a drink for $2.50. No vegan hotdogs! No frozen desserts of any kind! I'm hoping this will change next week or soon... I really want my vegan dogs, and dessert... the strawberry frozen vegan treat is $2.00 here. Not sure if prices at ikea went up. read more

My wife and I love IKEA. Whenever we pass by, we always get their strawberry frozen yogurt with a sugar cone, however this time we were delightfully surprised that they had added veggie hot dogs! I remember for the longest time, this location didn't have, but now they do. And it's only $1! We purchased two, one each, and it came with red cabbage, fried onions, mustard and ketchup. It was very tasty and definitely worth the price. We're looking forward to the next time we're in the area so we can grab a couple more! read more

We just wanted to see how it looked inside compared to the ikea here in america. It looks the same it is smaller inside though but definitely a great places to visit and buy organization containers or small things here. They had a second floor as well but we didnt go upstairs. The food ordering station was also on the first floor and they had like kiosk screen to order from. read more

This is a nice addition to Yonge St. Yonge St used to be a great stretch from KING to BLOOR (mostly....), a lot has changed and the Main Street is sorely lacking. This is a legit IKEA; I assumed a mini kiosk / takeout setting. Popular immediately and smart location for IKEA. read more

So this was my first time in IKEA and really enjoyed it. The store was pretty big and the food was cheaply priced and was very delicious. The staff was extremely nice and patient. However, my only complaint is that they don't accept cash, I know this is 2023, but still. read more

The customer service reps are all good but they use a delivery company (Go Bolt) who is 100% unreliable. I will never pay for them to deliver my order again. Since I don't have a car, I guess that means I won't be purchasing from IKEA again. Given today is the third day I stayed home all day to receive a shipment that didn't come, I suppose that's appropriate. Shame on you, IKEA read more

I fuxx with this IKEA. I've been here so many times I think people will mistake me for an employee :D HEJ !! Let's chat about it The food is great. It's not drool-worthy, but hey it feeds you when you're hungry. It's affordable too, so that's always good. You have to order from the machine. Cannot order at the counter. So bring debit/credit, cause they don't take cash. They got cinnamon buns, meatballs and mashed potatoes, vegan balls, water, hot dog. The food is limited here but that makes sense cause it's a smaller IKEA You won't find as much as if you were to go to Etobicoke or North York though. BUT - it has what you need. Like the MOST essentials if you JUST moved in and you need a few things to add life to the HOME Since this isn't the IKEA with the bin/aisle....from what I recall....you can write down the unique number of the item but you'd have to buy it elsewhere. That's the sucka sucka part. It's like you can get your inspiration here but you'd have go elsewhere to actually physically pick it up and buy it. THAT'S WHY I knocked one star down. Here's what I recall them selling - like stuff you can take home SAME day Plates, bowls, kitchen utensils, cooking pots/pans, cutlery, bedsheets, pillows, pillowcases, hangers, organizing bins, fake plants, some hanging art works, closet organizers, kitchen towels and hand towels for your bathroom, toothbrush holder, soap dispenser, light bulbs, step stools, bedding for your kid(s), garbage bins, cushions for the sofa -- I guess things that you can carry home, it's there. The big guys???? Try the Etobicoke one Hope this helps! read more

Who doesn't like Ikea? The location is convenient, the showrooms and size are designed with small condo spaces in mind, the employees helpful, and there is delicious strawberry sorbet and frozen yoghurt soft serve. The one thing I wish they would bring to the downtown store are the same food items as other locations. Would love to see the plant balls/mashed potato/gravy/jam meal along with vegetarian hot dogs. read more

Sorry, I just noticed my typo. They take credit cards, etc. but no cash. I apologize for the mistake.
