Healthy Planet just opened up about a month ago. This location is in the Ottawa Trainyards. It's…read morenext to Urban Barn and in the same plaza as Nordstrom Rack. Healthy Planet is a Health Food Store similar to Kardish and Natural Food Pantry. Since they are new, when I went they still had some empty shelf space, but I'm sure with time they will fill it with products. The store is big and bright and they carry a lot of items that I like at slightly lower prices than their main competitors (who I named above). They carry Vegan Rob's chips, which I absolutely love. They also carry Fiasco Gelato, as well as Mapleton's Organic ice cream! I saw lots of frozen breads, but not any fresh bread, and they don't have a bakery section :( They have a beauty section, but very limited brands of cosmetics. They have skincare, bath and body products too. They have a rewards/points system, but like their competitors it's pretty minimal. You get 1 point per dollar spent and get $5 off when you reach 500 points. So spend $500 and get $5 back. Better than nothing, I guess, lol. It's free to join the rewards program. I'm in this area a lot, so I will likely be going here often. Hopefully they have lots of sales and will have a clearance section, lol. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

I realized that my last recent move had me donating all my protein shaker cups. Grrrr. I literally had about 30 of them as most of us do - they accumulate! So... I needed one. And I found one. And grabbed a handful of protein bars. And perused the creatine on sale. Pondered some magnesium. Hmmm. I'll be back. Thanks to Jason for helping me out. He was informative and patient. The shop wasn't busy mid day, parking was plentiful and the store was clean. 4% cash back on each purchase if you sign up with your info.

Super convenient location in downtown Ottawa. Stopped by here once on a business trip and realized…read morehow close it was to the goodlife - I forgot all my supps @ home so I wanted to pop in and see if I could grab a quick sample, maybe a protein bar or two etc. You don't understand.. me in a supplement store is like a child in a candy shop. Glorious. I was instantly helped by two guys working, they seemed very nice. The store wasn't huge but it had everything you could need and all the basic goodness popeyes offers. What threw me off though was although they were gracious enough to offer me a sample of a BCAA for my workout, they charged me for it.. it was under $2 but I'm 100% sure this isn't a standard policy. I've tried many other popeyes in the Toronto area and not once have I been charged for a sample- I even went into a popeyes once and only asked if I could grab a sample of pre for my workout and they gave it to me and told me to have a nice day. This is the only popeyes I've ever been charged for a scoop of aminos; my boyfriend also agreed this is unheard of. I also bought a few protein bars and would've gotten at least 1 popeye dollar but they didn't even bring that up and I didn't think about it until later. So it was a positive but still weird experience, I don't really know what other options Ottawa has for supplements so this may be the best choice?

I have been going to the Popeye's on Merivale Rd in Ottawa for several years. I am a friendly,…read moreoutgoing person anyway, however, everyone that I have known at that store over the years has matched or exceeded that. To those that I have seen often over the years there, I have always easily been able to get on a first-name basis with, and, when they aren't busy, they are always willing to engage me in a friendly, sometimes humourous conversation. Of course, I always try to take advantage of their deals, such as "Buy 1 & get the 2nd at half price", for example. But who wouldn't? Any quality supplements are not cheap these days. In fact, there are times when I've been tipped off, so-to-speak, of these deals, which I maybe shouldn't mention here, lol. But, I'm sure other loyal customers are made fully aware, too. In addition, as far as product knowledge is concerned, Popeye's is top-notch. Their friendly staff all know their stuff, and I would suspect that makes it more comforting for people who are possibly coming to Popeye's for the 1st time. They will certainly take the time required to share their knowledge so that people can make informed decisions without them feeling rushed. So, not only are the Popeye's staff on Merivale Rd. in Ottawa, one of their original stores, if I'm not mistaken, extremely friendly and knowledgeable but the also help to make their clients just have a better day just simply by the client experience.

The Short Version: Big chain grocery store in a shopping…read moreplaza. Large location. Lots of selection. The Long Version: This Loblaws is located in the South Keys Shopping Centre. It's huge and has a great Joe Fresh (clothing) section. I have to give it to Joe Mimran, the designer behind Joe Fresh (and husband of Kimberley Newport-Mimran of Pink Tartan fame!), launching a clothing line for a grocery store was an interesting project, but 21 years later it's still a success. Not all Loblaws locations carry Joe Fresh, but usually the bigger the store, the more likely they are to carry it. This location has a great selection. The grocery store part has good selection too. They have a decent cosmetics section, all drugstore brands of course, but lots of different brands. They also sell lots of prepared ready to eat foods and I like that they sell single cans of drinks. So I can buy a can to see if I like it before I commit to an entire case. And their single can prices aren't terrible. They have single cans of Zevia for $1.49. Not sure why the rating is so low for this location. I think it's pretty good. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot. Review #169 (2025)

I ordered a cake over 3 weeks prior to a kids birthday party. 1/4 slab super mario decorated cake…read moreto be ready on the Thursday night. I sent my husband for pick up the Friday morning at 9am. They couldn't have gotten the order more wrong... The lady proceeds to show my husband our cake, a spiderman themed cake. My husbands lets them know that that was not our cake, that we ordered a Mario cake to which the lady answered him with are you sure... He showed her the order slip that states the proper cake code with Mario cake written beside. She then tells him she read it wrong. Now how she read Spiderman out of Mario is beyond comprehension but alas. She then says give me 30 minutes and I will make another one. Unfortunately he had to leave as he had to go in to work. I called them from work and was obviously less then pleased since I had to now rush from work, go all the way to bank street for a cake pick up in afternoon rush hour to make it to the party location at the other end of the city in less than 1 hour. She disregarded my irritation to the inconvenience saying my husband could just come back... Followed by error is human and excuses of working alone and being short staffed... I just left it at that and said I would be back around 3 to pick up the cake giving her plenty of time to remake. I show up in the afternoon to pick up. She shows me the cake and although it was a Mario cake it was not what I ordered. What did it for me is that she kept saying that it was exactly what I ordered showing the book image of my cake. What she was referring to was that she printed an image similar to the cake I ordered and had it printed on icing and placed the 2 little mario karts on top. At this point I am beyond unimpressed and tell her if I wanted a printed cake (which is an option to order) that's what I would have ordered. We wanted the decorated Mario cake. She then looks at me and simply states well this one was easier for me to do... WHAT?!? So you were given an entire day to fix your mistake and make my order and you still did not come through with what I ordered. 100% unimpressed with this employee and the service we were given.
