I've visited The Local by Massary twice now. It's an extension of the Egyptian restaurant Massary…read morein the same plaza and doubles as a café and specialty grocery store. They sell fresh and frozen meats, groceries, candles, perfumes, and more. The café itself is laptop friendly with outlets available, and there's also a prayer room. My only complaint is that the seating is a bit too tight. There are a lot of tables and chairs packed into the space, which makes it difficult to move around comfortably. The drinks have been the highlight for me. The Iced Spanish Latte was my favorite (9/10), followed by the Iced Biscoff Latte (8/10). I also tried the peach sparkling lemonade. It was refreshing, but it tasted more like a fruit punch than a lemonade because the lemonade flavor didn't come through as much (7/10). For pastries, I tried the Dubai cookie and the Dubai croissant. Unfortunately, neither was a favorite. The cookie had more of a cake batter flavor, and the croissant just didn't quite come together for me. I'd give both a 5/10. Overall, I'd come back for the drinks.

Coming from anyone who hates anything to do with raw meat, this is hands down the best place to get…read moreyour meats from and the one place that got me OK to deal with any raw meats. The butcher is so clean and the meat quality is evident. It is the ONLY butcher I trust to get any of my meats and chicken. I have tried their steaks, chicken and lamb and loved every single one. The quality is evident in the taste when you try it, but the best part has to be the cleanliness of the meats. I never see a single drop of blood in my meats and I find it so clean and nice. You get what you paid for and the customer service is excellent. We accidentally arrived 5-10 minutes after closing the other day and the team was still willing to accommodate and give us our order, which was so kind from their end. No surprise there as anything by Masrawy is the best, whether it's the food at the restaurant, the Local Cafe and market or the butcher shop. I'm so glad this butcher shop has opened and you'll definitely see me here as a regular customer. They don't compromise on quality!

Which was great for me. We bought some nuts and tons of Malban. Basically sugar, cornstarch and some nuts with some other flavours. We picked up just about each flavour. We have eaten just about all of them and they delicious. They are not too sweet and taste fresh. Other store bought are too chewy. But these were just right. Loved them. They also have fresh ground coffee that they grind right in front of you and add fresh cardamom seeds. The coffee smells so good and taste amazing. The lady behind counter tells us that soon they are going to start serving freshly made brewed coffee. Can't wait for it.

Lots of chocolate on the menu. Good thing is the menu is clearly marked for vegan and gluten free options. The service was OK. We asked for an Iced Latte and received two hot lattes. We did not ask for a change after the server realized there was an error. The sandwich was good. We replace the salad with fruit salad as there were no vegan salad dressing. The carrot cake was Ok - would have preferred a regular version and not a GF option. It was too sweet for us as well. Same for the chocolate cake. A bit small in size. The interior is clean and tidy but a bit busy on your eyes.

I bought a pound of their arabica beans. As much as I love a light roast coffee, this was not my fave unfortunately 6/10 in my books. But, other than the coffee, this place is definitely a good store to visit if you love nuts and nut butter.

Like a joke still no action taken and grinning in front of employee's and customers like I had lost my mind. Well I called the police they said contact them animal services. Which I did it is illegal. Just at that time now about a half hour dog left alone got angry with me calling me names etc. it's illegal no matter air on in your car which I found out yes I'm right. How sad when made look like a fool. I e known of the owners for 44 years. Love the store but look at some of the ppl who are in charge please. It could of been simple. Thanks
