Whoa, crazy lunchtime lineups! A bunch of my coworkers grab lunch from here regularly so I decided to tag along this time, but I wasn't expecting the lines snaking through the store (particularly when there are closed tills that could be staffed). The salad bar selection is great and prices are reasonable, though there's so much choice that it can feel kind of overwhelming. The bakery section is amazing--beautiful cupcakes, pretty little pastries, and oh my god, salted caramel brownies. I'm going to have to brave that checkout line tomorrow so I can get another one. read more

This is a truly fabulous grocery store. The fact that you can buy your groceries then relax at the end with a pint of beer is a bonus to the whole shopping experience. The produce is fresh and they always have great deals on each day of the week - my personal fave is Tuesday $6.99 for 20 pieces of sushi or the Thursday night 3 free oysters with every pint/glass of wine you order at their Corks bar. My only complaint is their maze like layout and their prices on the hot meal/salad plates - very expensive once you start loading a good serving size of food to hold you over. I always find that I make it half so I don't end up spending $10 - but then end up hungry because I tried to save a few dollars. So, overall - buying groceries and checking out their bar is a positive. Just be weary when you get to the pre-made meals as you may end spending more then you anticipated. read more

I can't complain. Freshly squeezed OJ, a CRAZY selection of cheeses, samples of some cheeses, fresh baked bread everyday. Great quality selection! They have everything I need! read more

Bun this Longo's. It's a confusing layout and the food bar is overpriced and under flavored. I'm not gonna pay $2.99/100g tofu. Everyone knows that tofu is 99 cents for a big brick of it cuz its gross. 3 stars read more

Nice and convenient grocery stop in the middle of downtown. Stopped by for a couple items later in the evening and was surprised at how active the store was. I personally loved that you could buy your own individual coffee pods to try different local coffees. Super clean. I will probably check it out again before I leave town for some of the desserts from the case! read more

Huge store with great selection of groceries! We grabbed sandwiches from their sandwich bar and they were quite tasty! Great location! Very busy but staff were very efficient at getting people through the express checkout! Would recommend grabbing their prepared food and doing your groceries here! read more

Well this place epitomizes the term "Convenience Store" . I got into Toronto from Vancouver. Got into the Hotel, and just didn't feel like going out for dinner on my own. So I took a walk, and found this place called Longos. Wow, what a surprise, they had everything, I didn't plan on buying food here, really stopped in out of curiosity. I ended up getting my self a large self made salad loaded with all my favorite items. Half of a Roasted Chicken. But this place offers Much more. Aside from having a great Hot food bar and large salad bar. You can also shop for home cooking items.Meat Shop, full Grocery store. I wish I had one of these near my home in Vancouver. read more

Great food and convenience, prepared meals and nic=e meat and fish selections

Went into this store starving and from the looks of their hot food options I thought it was going to be decent at the very least. The pizza was pathetic I should have known better than to try pizza in Canada being a native Chicagoan. The other food lacked taste as well and the cashier lady was miserable and acted like she hated her life and her job! Maybe she should consider another line of work! She didn't even greet me as I approached the register and acted aggravated with my presence. The prices were high for such tasteless cuisine. Won't be returning when I come back to Toronto! read more

This Longo's location is located downstairs in Maple Leaf Square, and is absolutely massive! I loved their selection and really appreciated the gluten free and specialty food sections. The hot counter is very extensive, and this is a great place to grab a hot sandwich or meal and some picnic supplies before heading to the island (if you go, make sure you take the water taxi near Second Cup). The sheer size of this Longo's location combined with the selection of foods and lots of checkouts make this a winner in my books! read more

Had lunch here while at a conference downtown, expensive but good. Given its location, I expected ti overpay. Two paninis and a drink cost me $15. Next time I will plan better to avoid paying same. read more

I love shopping at this Longo's. It's beautiful, clean and conveniently located from where I live. I love cooking with fresh ingredients and the produce here is fresh and I see lots of local produce on the shelf which is a plus. The salad bar and hot food station have great selection and food is pretty good. It's a one-stop-shop and Starbucks, Yogurty's, and Corks Beer & Wine Bar are located at the back. Free parking if you spend more than $20. Don't forget to get your parking ticket validated before you leave! read more

My favorite part about this grocery store is that they have my favorite brand of Swiss chocolate at reasonable prices, so perhaps my review will be a bit biased. I came here on a Monday night to find something for dinner, since there weren't any restaurants near my hotel that sounded good. I thoroughly enjoyed this grocery store and would enjoy shopping here for necessities if I lived in Toronto. They seemed to have everything and be well stocked. My one complaint is the giant checkout lines. Maybe it's because I came after work, but it took longer to wait in line than it did to wander around the store. read more

I am so glad that I live in Maple Leaf Square and that this Longo's is just an elevator ride away :) They have a great selection and everything that you need! The staff are always helpful and friendly and it is always spotless and tidy. I never see anything our of place or empty. They have great deals as well and the points card is awesome. The food bars are delicious and always fresh and the pizzas perfectly cooked and they are generous on the toppings. The bakery tarts are also great for a treat. I will miss living in this building because this is such an amazing amenity to have! read more

I came here a few times for some early morning eats. I really like the selection of cut fruit and yogurt parfaits. There have a great selection of other foods, and I was surprised with the number of organic products in stock. Their selection of hot eats is pretty extensive and all the food looks very fresh. The store is very neat and clean, and the staff are helpful. I don't think a supermarket can get much better than this. read more

I still have Longo shopping bags littered across the floor. What can I say? Longo's is a habit I can't quit. It's the high maintenance girlfriend you just can't get rid of, because well-- she's always there, she always looks perfect, and she'll always cost a pretty penny. There are cheaper places around, but this is a one stop destination. Fresh produce, coffee, cheese, drug store, you want it, they got it, for double the price. They do not sell alcohol though, but a quick jaunt up the escalators, you'll find the nearest LCBO. Watch out for their specials, and get a rewards card, (since you're spending the money anyways). read more

This is the best downtown grocery. I come here regular because it is so close, maybe twice a week. There is a TD bank with no line upstairs. You can buy coffee beans and i think they will make the coffee for you. The prices are marked clearly and they regularly have samples although its not much. They used to have cheese samples which were the best in front of the deli. Generally the prices are above normal as expected living downtown. I used to think they were expensive until I went to the sobeys on harbourfront. They have good sale items and once you adjust to their layout.. life is good. Also, i am not a fan of returning or having to correct receipts.. but their customer service desk is great. No questions.. you tell them your problem and they will help you. Best is they reimburse you in cash and there is generally no line. read more

Fresh, quality produce. Tons of yummy prepared hot food. There's a seating area in the back with tvs and a bar. read more

I took a special trip here to try the civet coffee, but could not find it. We did find a Starbucks store inside the store. We wandered the store, and found it to be way smaller than we expected, and the prices were all much more than we expected. After looking around, we left, I would not waste my time here. I hoped for much more. read more

Awesome set of escalators down to the supermarket. Only 7.99 for a 10 inch pizza! Made to order, so much better than the pizza sitting there and the reheat upon order. Meat lovers is a great deal. Right after eating, saw that there is the Longo wine and beer place that does a 10 dollar pizza and a pint of beer. Missed out on that one! read more

Insufficient cashiers to serve customers As the business move to self check outs (transferring costs to customers), you should not have a poor experience where people have to wait in line for a long time. Especially since customers don't get savings from helping you reduce costs from self checkouts And also it's ridiculous you started charging for bags given the expensive grocery prices at your store read more

Since I moved in the area last April, Longo's has been my new go to grocery store. It is located in the basement of the Maple Leaf Square and the space is very massive for a downtown grocery. Even if it is underground, there is sufficient lighting to make it look pleasant and not creepy. The aisles are large and the sections are well organized. There is a parking attached to it that is free if you buy over $20. They do offer most of the national brands plus their own house brand that I find quite fantastic in terms of pricing and quality. If you are in a hurry or just at a nearby hotel, they do offer a wide variety of freshly cooked meals and wood oven pizzas and ready to eat food. Service is great and pleasant. You also can register to their point system and gives you 50 points for every $25 you buy. read more

My favorite grocery store in Toronto. I walk an extra few blocks and pass a few other grocery stores to get here. They have pretty much everything you'd need including a large variety of specialty and organic items. I've noticed prices are generally a little lower here than other stores as well. The store is very open and generally not crowded. Plenty of registers make checkout quick. There's also a parking lot here, although i always walk. Store is located below Real Sports bar by the Air Canada Centre. read more

I LOVE this place. Such a cool supermarket. I work across the street so I go here quite a bit. They have a salad bar that's really great, it's a bit on the pricey side though. There is a Starbucks inside also and a nice seating area to have your lunch. They have daily specials everyday which are quite nice and are $7.99. Definitely worth a visit, has all your basics that you want at your supermarket and more! :) read more

Great grocery close to where I was staying. This place has just about anything thing you need while staying in toronto. The only issue I had with the store was the line system through the registers. Confusing to know where to stand during busy hours. Other than that awesome store read more

We are Asians and have been shopping at the Markham Longos since Michaelangelo closed down. We are generally happy with the quality of goods and with the service. However, from time to time, my wife and I, noticed certain degree of attitude amongst some of the staff. I dont want to label it as racist, as it may be unfair, but the fact that we have had some corroborations from friends who shop there, that there is an 'attitude', I felt it should be pointed out. My experience is that if this attitude is tolerated, the matter needs to be traced back to local management, or up through the chain of command. The culture of a company is not to be blamed on the staff. read more

Their salad bar had lots and lots of options but was way more expensive than any other place in the vicinity. Ends up being almost $20 for a reasonable sized meal. That's not worth it, in my opinion. Lots of suits lined up. read more

Good food fresh produce only problem was check awaz way too long and girl did not seem like she wanted to be there

Very clean. Fresh produce and lots of variety. Check out was fast and easy and girls were friendly

Checkout line is very unorganized, cashier is rude and incapable. Wanting to get something quick in a busy morning, one customer tried to jump the queue at the checkout line. Instead of telling the customer to get back in line, cashier still scanned her product, and blamed it to me that she didn't notice me at the line up. Not coming back to this place any more. Don't waste your time there either. read more

I enjoy going to this Longo's. Good selection of prepared foods with the exception of the sushi. I ordered a brown rice spicy crab roll and the rice was disgusting because it was mushy. I've had the white rice sushi and it was not good either. If you are craving for sushi go across the street to Sushi shop instead. I like the variety and service of this location. I like that their organics and health products are growing. read more

This Longo's is large compared to what you normally see downtown but I absolutely hate the layout. It's confusing and I can never find what I'm looking for without asking someone. Even the staff are unsure. I normally shop at Loblaws and it's pretty easy to navigate. Not so here. The salad bar looks good but taste bleh. I think they are trying to be like Whole Foods in the states who know how to make a salad bar. It's huge and great selection of tasty items. I digress... Beyond tasting uninspiring, it's expensive. I do like the fact that they have a few varieties of roasted chicken such as Venetian, BBQ and Portuguese style. On Wednesday nights they have $6.99 deals on the normally $9.99 price. As far as fruit, veggie and general grocery selection is concerned they have some variety but not huge. The checkout girls are friendly so that's a plus. read more

As a grocery store it is expensive. However, one of its good points is the "loft" area at the back, where the beer/wine bar and Starbucks are located. There is a decent sitting area here and table service for a section of it. There are also TV screens. The oven fired pizzas are highly recommended; myself and anyone I've been with have always been pleased with the quality. You can also bring over (paid) food from the cold/hot counters from the front of the store. Those foods, charged by weight, can be pretty expensive even when you didn't get that much. This place is a gold mine because of people living in the condo towers who have no other convenient grocery store option and/or don't cook (many prepared or take away options). read more

We are visiting the city and shopped here several times for a few needed items. Staff is friendly and the quality and selection is great. Loved the bakery and sushi. read more

Five reasons why shopping at Longo's is amazing. 1. It's hilarious- I literally see people stacking fruit and miscellaneous housekeeping items into Louis Vuitton totes as if they were disposable plastic bags. 2. Go at 5-6 pm and it's probably the best dressed crowd you'll ever see at any grocery store. Longo's is the grocery store you dress up to go to because you don't want to be judged by your neighbours. 3. Want a fancy dinner, with minimal effort and low cost? Uno momento, they will steam a live lobster for you. 4. Having a rough day? No worries, Longos has a pharmacy, wine tasting section and Starbucks. (Probably don't mix the three though) Oh, and did I mention there is a LCBO just one floor above? 5. The prices are competitive with any other grocery stores in the vicinity, but your selection is so much larger. I have one minor complaint though, how come they only take physical Longos cards for their rewards system? I miss those days when I could just go to Sobeys and just read out my card number. read more

I love this supermarket! I had a quinoa chicken soup and it really hit the spot. Wish I could've tried more things but there is too many eateries to try while visiting Canada! read more

As a tenant in Maple Leafs Square, it goes without saying this is the best place you'd have to get your groceries. Lovely, helpful staffs, wonderful selection of all sorts of groceries. If you buy something that happens to be rotten or spoilt, bring it back! They'd exchange it for you without much hassle. My girlfriend and I once bought a rotten coconut and brought it back. Exchanged it not once, but twice and they were all rotten. We went back and they got a guy to open a few more of those coconuts and found out the batch was bad. The staff gave us our money back and honestly, I feel guilty for being calculative but hey, I didn't get what I want. This is the customer service perhaps other supermarkets like loblaws or metro should learn from longos. It goes a long way. And for those of you who think Longos has higher markup on their prices, check again before you speak. Generally, I find prices of certain merchandises in longos are significantly (not marginally) CHEAPER than Loblaws or Metro, sometimes even on par or cheaper than Walmart. The comparison is done before any sales is added. You will need to shop smart and know what to buy and not what to buy from each grocery store, I suppose. read more

Raveesh the coffee Barista always greets me with a friendly smile and kind, helpfulness. You can tell he truly is a positive person. Every time, it's a pleasure to see him when I'm picking up fresh roasted and ground coffee. Thank you for being an exceptional team member at Longo's Raveesh, if everyone followed your lead, it would make shopping way more fun :) read more

I just had my first visit with this location. I've heard good things from friends, but they did not do it justice. This place is AMAZING. I spend an hour just lost in the cheese section. It is not the closest grocery store to my place, but it is well worth the extra hike. I have written good things about my local Sobeys a little while ago, but that was only because I did not have this place to compare it to. read more

This review is for pharmacy in longos: Went to the pharmacy here. Waited over 45 minutes to have my prescription filled only to have the pharmacist tell me he had no stock. Tool my prescription back and went to shoppers, dont waste your time here. The rest of the grocery store is good... Reasonable prices for downtown and good selection read more
