My first visit to a Whole Foods Market was years ago, after completing a job interview in Yorkville…read morein Toronto. I definitely remember what I got: a slice of tiramisu. At that time, it was the only Whole Foods in the greater Toronto area. Whole Foods has grown on me, likely because Markham has one and I frequent it often. I don't fit the profile of a typical Whole Foods shopper who tends to carry expensive handbags, must get everything organic, and can afford all things expensive, including tiny bottles of elixirs that extend their years on planet Earth. I like their dairy-free items. I love Carbonaut bread and the entire bakery section, including tiramisu. There are specific items that I get at this store. If I'm looking for romaine lettuce or celery, you'll likely see me at a grocery store that offers these items at normal, cheaper prices. Four years ago, I was in the Glebe and saw this Whole Foods store. I didn't go in. I had already got what I needed at a Metro. On my most recent visit, after spending a few hours exploring the area with a friend, I realized that I needed almond beverage and lemons. I had yet to set foot in any grocery store. They were good reasons to check this store out. I had parked underground. The elevator got me to this store. I exited the elevator on the main floor to hit Winners. This store has a cafe that occupies the entire floor. It was busy just before noon. People must love getting coffee and a baked good here. When I returned just past 5 pm, you could hear crickets on this floor. The cafe was closed. It was different. My local one is still open when I'm there at 7 pm. I have yet to hit the cafe at any Whole Foods location. I took the escalator up to the second floor, which is where the entire supermarket is. I immediately found almond beverage. Organic. Sugar-free. Perfect. I also found the produce area. The Rainier cherries looked good. They were also so expensive that I blocked the price out and moved on. I got a couple of lemons. You could get a bag of six. The price was the same if you calculated how much one lemon was going for, so you might as well pick your own pristine-looking lemons. I looked around. It has the usual salad and hot food bars. You pay by weight, which does add up if you aren't careful. There were lots of snacks and drinks to choose from. A can of flavoured carbonated water was going for $2.69. It makes you wonder how this store determines the prices that it sets. It was enjoyable looking at the plants and flowers. It's a nice grocery store. I had an equally nice woman at the checkout area. I paid for my items with a debit card. I didn't need a bag. My lemons were already in one, so I carried it and my carton of almond beverage to the elevator. It was convenient taking the elevator down to the underground parking lot. I walked to my car, paid for parking, and left. The lemons and almond beverage were great. I'm glad that I got what I needed at this store. I had a fun time shopping here. It's my second Whole Foods that I've been to where it has two floors. We'll see if I return in another four years. Maybe I'll try the cafe... haha! (262)

I found this place during the Yelp Experience at Banh Mi Yes. It's a couple of units down and it…read morelooks pretty new. I was greeted by a super nice employee at the store who could have been the owner. It's an Eastern European focused market and deli and they have some great items. A lot of them are low on preservatives and when possible, sourced from somewhere in Canada. There are a lot of meats, fish, frozen food items and caviar. They have a lot of pre packaged snacks and drinks that come from overseas. They even have a local baker who provides them with sour dough daily! I heard they sell out every morning so get their early if you want some really fresh sour dough. I ended up leaving with some frozen perogies made from Montreal and some European Fanta. I will come back for some other items in the future

I walked in and was greeted by the lovely Ukranian owner. She was so sweet and personable. She asked me to try one of her fave coconut cookies! Ok!!! So good! I later met her friendly husband, from Poland and he is said to be in charge of all the meats. They all looked amazing! I bought a few things and one thing from the meat case was a spicy meat stick. Not all meat sticks are made alike! Yummy! The store was SO clean and new feeling. Everything was well appointed and I went around a few times to see everything. Lots of spices. I bought some spicy spices of course, some perogies, tomato paste, high end dried pasta. Many things are imported, some items are CDN from TO, Montreal and of course there are some homemade things in the deli. There are even a few chairs and tables inside if you want to have lunch here. So, influences from Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Italy - this place has you covered. Even fresh caviar! Little frozen cheesecake ice cream bars! Needless to say, a gem, I'll be back.

I stopped by Food Frenz to pick up some Lebanese meat pies. They were $3.75 each (including taxes)…read more The pastry was thick and crispy on the outside. The meat was flavourful. I asked for spice and unlike most places, the spice had some heat to it :) The pie lacked the smoky flavour that I like with Lebanese meat pies, but it was still very good. A solid pie for sure. Service was very friendly. I think they employ university students who live in the area, which I think is great. They had some prepared foods like salads, rice with chicken, and falafel balls. They also had slices of cakes for $5.99 each and tiramisu in a cup for $3.99. I like that they have prepared foods in addition to regular items you would find at a convenience store. The store is in the heart of where a lot of University of Ottawa students live, so I'm sure they do really well with the student crowd. Since it's more for locals, there's no parking, so you have to park on the street.

I don't remember how I discovered it, but I remember getting huge samosas there for $1 a piece (this was over a decade ago) and I loved them. Back then they were a small shop selling mostly groceries with some snacks like samosas and pakoras, and Indian sweets. Now they have moved to Barrhaven and their foods now include curries and biryani. I picked up a dozen samosas to share with my parents. I got 6 beef and 6 chicken. They were $1.75 apiece (vegetarian ones are $0.95 each). They are significantly smaller than they were over a decade ago at the Chinatown location, but still a decent size. They tasted good, but not quite as wow as I remembered, but we always gaze at the past through rose tinted glasses ;) They are still legit samosas and very good. The store is in a strip mall. Lots of free parking.
