It's a very tidy and well kept store. There's a OK selection of organics, the space seems to have shrunk over the years, but there's always organic broccoli and carrots which are staples in my home. Delighted with the Gluten-Free selection, although I do miss the UDI Muffins.

This IGA - aside from being amazing in all the ways I described in my original review - seems to be setting the standard for how to properly operate under the current conditions so I wanted to share in the hopes of other grocery stores following their lead. When you arrive here, all the doors are closed except for one and when you enter that one there's a portable handwashing station like you'd see outside portopotties at a festival. So everyone is washing their hands as they enter. Then they are given a cart which has just been wiped down by the staff. Staff are also circulating wiping down the handles of fridge doors etc. Cashiers are using sanitizer between every customer and as you leave your cart is immediately wiped down again. This loving attention will save lives in our community and I really really appreciate it.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Discount grocery store, but prices…read moreare only slightly lower than regular grocery stores, no huge discounts. Big, bright and clean though. The Long Version: The No Frills brand has a special place in my heart because growing up my mom regularly took me to No Frills and Valdi all the time (on Eglinton near Dufferin, in Toronto. The Valdi is long gone, but the No Frills is still there. Likely different ownership, but I'm not sure). Back then No Frills stores were a bit dark and dingy and really felt like a discount store, and their prices were quite lower than regular grocery stores, but these days most No Frills are big and bright, and their prices are just slightly less than regular grocery stores. They are still rather utilitarian looking so they are still true to their name of being without frills, but the discounts aren't really there as much as they were in the past. This specific location on Grant Carmen recently opened in 2024. It used to be a Your Independent Grocer. The location is a bit tucked away. There's lots of free parking but the layout is such that there are no parking spots close to the entrance, not even accessible parking. So something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues. This location is a bit hidden. It's technically in the same plaza as the Winners, Dollarama, Melanie Lyne and Value Village, but it's hidden around the back. Ottawa did not have a No Frills until 2024. Prior to 2024, the only No Frills around were in Orleans and Stittsville, and Arnprior, but then a few Your Independent Grocer locations converted to No Frills. So I'm happy to have a No Frills closer to home. Review #23 (2025)

To this day it's her favourite salad dressing and we try to buy a case (of 12) twice a year! They have an excellent produce selection, seafood, cold cuts, and cool sauces and house brand Farm Boy brand + and excellent bakery! I've noticed they have boned up on prepared foods and have one of the biggest selection I have seen on K-cups for Keurig! It's really a shame we couldn't have FB in Montreal as it excels at providing a different yet fresh and cool selection of different products! We will keep coming back for the salad dressing and other goods because they are so tasty and awesome!

Note: The blooms on orchids last for months and they need little attention.

I only discovered Farm Boy when I moved to Ottawa, but now I'm a huge fan…read more Farm Boy is a grocery store, and focuses on actual food, like produce, meats, dairy products, baked goods, etc. They have frozen foods and shelf-stable foods as well, but they are not like the big chain Loblaws or Superstores that sell a myriad of other things (like cosmetics, cleaning products, haircare, etc.). So Farm Boy is not a one stop shop, but good for actual food products. They have a great selection of prepared foods. As for their bakery, one word: Cruffins! Lol. They are essentially Cronuts! I guess they call them Cruffins because Croissant/Muffin sounds healthier than Croissant/Donut, haha. Whatever you want to call them, they are delicious! They have store-brand products that are pretty good too, like the Farm Boy salad dressings. Their kombucha is also mild and great for kombucha novices, lol. This location is smallish, but they do have the signature stuffed monkey swinging over the bananas in the produce section. Most Farm Boy stores have this, but there are a few that don't. Since it's small, this location tends to be crowded. It's not my favourite location, but I'll stop by whenever I'm in the plaza shopping at the health food store next door. Free parking in the plaza parking lot, which is a bit of a zoo when it's busy, so I always try to go off peak times.
