    Fantastic multi level grocery store, a-crossed the street from the hotel I was staying. I just went in for some brews and I enjoyed that they had craft selection's in singles! This store reminds me of Hy-Vee in Iowa.. They have everything you need, it's clean, and the staff is second to none! Nothing quite like a good grocery store to make you want to buy everything! METRO has got it going on!

    The full marks are for the ginormous lobster painting on the front of this Metro during its Grand Opening, which grabbed my attention and made me warm up to this place. To be honest, I was sad to see that Metro was moving into this space. There is already another Metro SO close to here in Liberty Village. And the trusty FreshCo is still right across the street, with a lot of common brands at prices much lower than Metro. This Metro caters to a young, working crowd (walk-in traffic?) with deli goodies, ready to eat cooked food, take-out lunches and on-trend brands, plus all the usual Metro offerings. One difference from the quite giant Liberty Village store is that the shelving is not quite so tall - I wonder, is this a design decision marketers made so shoppers could check each other out? Another difference, very apparent around the opening - is the number of security guards. (Not sure if this is still the case.) They were there at the door, they were around the store, they were in the basement. Shopping in such a securitized environment is a little disconcerting. One surprise here is that this Metro has a specially dedicated cooler of LCBO Ontario craft beers that you can purchase at LCBO prices during the same hours the LCBO is open. This could be quite useful if you were in this vicinity shopping for din-dins and not wanting to haul yourself any further for a couple of cold cans. Welcome to the neighbourhood, Metro. Hope you keep surprising us with the window art.

    Very organized snack shop with a ton of variety! Everything…read moreis so aesthetically arranged and categorized. They had snacks which I had never seen before, not even in regular Asian grocers. Prices are reasonable

    (Shopped 09/13/2025 SA @ 12:00pm): This market was definitely on King St., but I didn't focus too…read moremuch on any fresh food offerings! It was the second to last day of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival when I finally poked into King Fresh Foodmarket for a look around and some potential snacks instead of an actual meal. I'd passed this place on several occasions while I either waited in line for a movie or rushed by to get to one. I was on the hunt for anything random and portable to snack on. Would I feel funky fresh and feast like a king after I shopped in this food market!? PURCHASE(S) Lay's Potato Chips Italian Red Meat Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): I think this was supposed to taste like meat sauce because that's what I got from it - not bad. Lay's Potato Chips Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): This simply tasted like tomato to me, and I couldn't think of a Mexican chicken tomato dish that this was to resemble. Lay's Potato Chips Spicy Crayfish Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): This reminded me of spicy shrimp chips, which I didn't mind. Muskoka Brewery Mad Tom IPA Beer 16floz Can ($4.49CAD): Dark amber color, citrusy hoppy aroma, low body, citrusy hoppy malty flavor, drying smooth finish, and citrusy hoppy aftertaste. The artwork caught my attention while I truly enjoyed this beer. Banana ($0.75CAD): I needed something healthy to eat to counteract all of the salty snacks. Reusable Bag ($0.49CAD): I needed a bag to carry my snacks, but I ended up losing it... SERVICE Aside from the lone male at the checkout counter, I didn't see anyone else, and he didn't really leave his station. No worries, I was simply casing the joint from aisle to aisle as I collected bags of chips, beer, and fruit. It was all easy-peasy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was constantly in the area all day throughout the Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A quasi convenience store and mini-mart (not enough elements to be considered a grocery), with an impressive selection of candies, refrigerated drinks, and snack foods, that filled the shelves aisle after aisle. Outside of the customary promotional shelftalkers and standees, the rest of the place was rather rudimentary and no-nonsense with a touch of an underground bunker feel (I believed it actually was in a basement). A minimal amount of natural lighting came in through the front doors and raised windows, while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while pop music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL King Fresh Foodmarket purely surprised me with what I found inside and eventually walked away with, so I would definitely check them out again. If you knew me, you knew I loved beer, salty snacks, and sweets, and if I saw anything within these types of food that was out of the ordinary or just odd, I had to try it! The prices seemed very comparable, they had a wondrous selection of items (although I didn't recall anything freshly-made), and the service was efficient and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.50CAD BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
