The second for some family groceries. The variety of food is incredible, fresh, and well organized. The people working there are friendly and helpful.

We bought groceries for the whole family for a week, fresh produce with some specialty foods, and it cost us less than an arm and a leg

Excellent bakery. Busy, but friendly and helpful behind the counter…read more MF was my go-to for bakery and basics, but then the new no-bag policy began. You must either carry their basket or push a cart around. Both are big and bulky and patrons end up running into each other or hitting one another in the very narrow aisles. And if you try to avoid the policy, their security and will hassle you. I understand that theft has been an issue, but when I show up at the cashier to pay for my purchases, I don't expect to treated with distain and scorned for having no basket.

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.

They have a scowl on their face...they look miserable. I feel uncomfortable and it is very unpleasant to be around such people. My roommate has encountered the same problem. It is a shame that few miserable people bring down the rating of the store. Perhaps they are affected by the magnetic poles.

It has food! It has basics!…read more I typically stop in here after I've bought my splurge items (fruits, veggies, meat) elsewhere and just pick up the more random odds and ends. The prices on many stock items are much lower than other grocery stores in town, but they probably won't have every item on your shopping list and have somewhat inconsistent stock -- especially if you're looking for "higher end" goods or organics. Still, Food Basics is true to its name, so there's something to be said for that.

I waited about 5 mins or longer maybe, long enough to know clearly she wasn't going to serve me and she didn't put a sign that says it's closed and she didn't explain anything to me. So I threw all items back into the cart, and left the store. Another time it was also at the till. It was my turn, but just before the teller did anything, a staff came in and opened the cash drawer and started counting.

I appreciate that so I add another star to the rating. However I am not in a hurry to revisit the place. Maybe in a while. ------------------------------ Update: I completed the survey on my receipt and reported the incident to Nofrills and it fell on deaf ears. Nobody ever contacted me. Oh well.. I believe I have legitimate reason to be upset. The choice is yours. ------------------------------- What can I say. Don't come here if you are Asian. I was here for grocery shopping and was ready to check out. The self checkouts, which I usually preferred since I had social anxiety, were all closed somehow. Thus I had to use a cashier. The cashier named Ravleen greeted the customers before and after me with a "hello, how are you?". However she did not greet me or thank me for my purchase. Instead, she just threw the receipt on the belt without looking at me. Unfortunately, those customers happened to be Caucasian. I guess she prefers to deal with Caucasian customers rather than Asian. Funny that she was Indian herself. I don't know how to explain this. Self hate? I never imagined having to play a race card on Yelp but today I have to. I should have gone to Walmart in the first place. The staff there has always been helpful and friendly to me. I guess if you like racist staff you can come here. Thank you No Frills for the subtle racism.
