I bought one of their shirts. Clothing seems trendy and true to fit/size. They are made for a thick material, so they maybe a little heavy for those warm and humid summer days. Pants waist band might be a little tight, if you are on the thicker side. Staff are friendly. The store is pretty busy. Also, the store has 2 fitting rooms so it might take a while to try on clothing.

With international locations worldwide, this is Muji's 3rd location in the city of Toronto (first one at Yonge and Dundas and second one at Yorkdale). They also have another store in the GTA in Markham as well. The concept of Muji is simple...simple, minimalistic quality products. There is an emphasis on recycling, reducing production/packaging waste, as well as a no logo/brand policy. This particular location of Muji is accessible, however, is the smallest store out of all the stores in Toronto. They also have a robotic barista machine in the store as well, ready to make your favourite espresso or matcha drinks. The layout of the store is compact and sometimes you do have to be careful of others, especially around aisles with breakable items. They also have a good small selection of home decor, clothing, stationary and food. I've been to this location of Muji a few times and staff are always friendly. I recently went to pick up the new Muji curry packs that they finally have in Toronto. Overall, a smaller location of Muji, however, you are still able to find your favourite home items as well as stationary here.

WOW!!..I am rarely surprised by people but this takes the cake! I orginally posted a glowing review…read moreon social media but decided to totally take out all the positive stuff out about this seemingly cute little spot. ...WHY? Because, after meeting on August 15, 2018, to discuss collaborations, I was politely told by the owner, Margo, that Women would not appreciate coming to her location to try on clothes, have an ice cream, drink a coffee or sample skin care products if they thought Men would be there "congregating" or "Meeting for Coffee". I was in disbelief that she was being serious. In the past I would have walked away from being negative or let things go like this. I was under the impression that whatever issue I have, will open up bigger problems if I pursue them. Yep, I sure have let go of a lot, but NOT THIS ONE FOLKS... Am I proving myself to be the very Man that is "creating issues" which would warrant warning bells? I GUESS I AM AND I ACCEPT WHAT COMES! I WILL NOT LIVE IN A CITY WHERE WOMEN COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LACK OF CONSCIOUS MEN, YET ARE HYPOCRITES ENOUGH TO RELEGATE MEN TO THEIR CORNER. I guess we're good enough to bring our spouses or girlfriends shopping but not good enough to sit with another Man and have a coffee. Maybe that can work in a Gym so Women can feel safe working out in peace but a fashion store with a cafe atmosphere? Screw you lady, I guess I proved you right. AND, if doing Men's outreach is going to bring this on, then I will proudly stand my ground. Possible repurcussions from this are as follows; 1. Women who live in Fear should go to ANY DIRECT FLIGHT to go shopping. It's a perfect place to feel like you're in a protected World. REMINDER: You're not. Be at Peace with yourself and you'll attract more safety. 2. If you're a GOOD, & STRONG WOMAN WHO LIKES BEING AROUND GOOD STRONG MEN, then by all means, head on down to Any Direct Flight, buy an outfit from this "cute" little shop, have a coffee or an ice cream and upon paying, let them know what you think. Since she has drawn a line in the sand, public opinions are now welcome. You are allowed to have your say, especially since this Margo lady has such an obvious idea around what community is all about. 3. Absolutely nothing and I have yet another reason to despise ignorant people, especially the ones in this city who breed idiots. I guess you can dress up a "Little Shop of Horrors" with pretty antiques and beautiful scones on bone china and prepare yourself for your ultimate karma. I'm prepared for whatever I get from this one... I apologize for anyone reading this posting and I wish all my material was rainbows and kittens but alas, it is not the case. I wear my Anger proudly and if you step into the ring with me, you better realize I never back down... #ThisIsLamont #AnyDirectFlight #MenNotAllowed #OnlyWomen Lamont Daigle PS: My mother and I owned an antique shop in NB where we had quite a varied clientele. Locals and Tourists. I completely understood where Any Direct Flight (Margo) was going with wanting to "protect her clientele" from "creepy" Men...There are some out there, I admit, however, this altercation was more than just about Fear. After 20 years of being in the Toronto Community, there are way more Women in my corner than Men, because these Women are Mothers who see the need for Love instead of Hate. The Women & Men in my organization are always disappointed when community "Leaders" and business owner's decisions are based in "Grandeur" and "Exclusion" instead of "Inclusion" and heart based Economics. Especially in our neighborhood, where I have to remind my daughter that bigotry comes in all packages...

Returning to old stomping grounds in the up and coming Leslieville in the East end, I was on the…read moresearch for an indie coffee shop to plug in and get inspired to write, get some work done, enjoy a good cup of brew and hopefully support a small local business in the process. I rode by Any DIrect Flight, with a lovely vintage-y looking dress in the window and a cafe table for 2. I go in and realize its a boutique + cafe. The girl working tells me that the front of the store was turned into a cafe (5 tables including 1 large square communal table) in March 2012. Its super bright and sunny, right on Queen E so watching the street car and people walk by is lovely. Free Wi-Fi, decent coffee and espresso drinks, and outlets for your laptop: freelancers out there, this is a great spot! Could also see it being the jam if they get some tables out front too.

Truly a wonderful weekend with luxury lodging and shopping to experience. Our normal vacation would be skiing out West (U.S. - I'm an American), so this company-purpose visit was unusual for us. It's also very unusual for me to shop in a store where a coat runs $5,000, yet there I was. I was drawn to the store by a dress displayed in our hotel lobby, and spent far more time browsing the racks than I'd imagined, given the exclusive nature of the store. I was dressed semi-dressy - with white capris and a colorful tunic - so I wasn't in T-shirt and jeans. Had I been, I imagine my comfort level would have been lower however I don't believe the salesladies would have been any less helpful and inviting. I drew in an audible breath when I saw the $5,000 coat (actually $4,500 but when you throw in all the Canadian taxes it may as well be $5,000). I didn't gasp because of the price, but because of the beauty of the cashmere and artistic yet classic neckline. Had it not been 4 sizes too small for me I'm certain the saleslady would have helped me try it on. About 1/2 of the store was on sale - and there were significant discounts, although I can't quote a specific percentage as there were no signs shouting "40% off!!!" -- but I'd estimate that was close. Because of the welcoming atmosphere I was able to examine cuts and fabrics - and now know that Max Mara = quality classics that are fashionable. I may not be able to shop retail/current season - but I will not hesitate to seek this brand through other ways (e.g. Online sales.)

We visit it quite often not only here in Toronto but I have to say that by far the best shopping experience was in Max Mara Toronto in bloor street. Our consultant was called Maria. She was so helpful, warm and kind. She had great taste and was always on the lookout for something that would suit us. We ended up buying 5 items that we absolutely loved. The staff there generally was very welcoming and supportive. They were all there to give their opinion on the clothes we were trying on and were honest about them. We left feeling very satisfied. The quality and style of the items were unmatchable and we were very pleased. I would recommend this store to anyone who isn't on a budget as MaxMara is more on the pricy side. But I will surely go back again. Simply amazing

Disclaimer: This review focuses on a visit centred on the MAC counter in their cosmetics…read moredepartment. My sister and I got together at Yorkdale Mall to have lunch and celebrate my birthday. We thought it would be fun to get a makeover. I like MAC in particular, but their independent store is usually busy, and they no longer list any sort of complimentary service on their website offerings. Turned out that we were having lunch right across The Bay in The Cheesecake Factory, so I thought we could see what their MAC had to offer. Turns out that they do some complimentary makeup services if you ask for a particular element, e.g., cat eye makeup for, foundation application, etc. The staff had to wait until her coworker was back from break so that other customers could be covered, so she took my number and my sister and I wandered off till she contacted me. We were away some time, but it turned out I simply didn't hear my phone ring the 2 times she tried to call as it's pretty noisy throughout the mall. I saw she had tried, and when we headed back, she was good to go. She asked what aspect I'd like to focus on, and I went with skin applications. She explained why she chose what products and colours she went with, but still asked about blush colour in particular. She asked what I normally do and use. She made sure to clean her tools and provide sanitary samples of everything I tried. She did not rush, and asked how satisfied I was periodically as she progressed. I was very happy with the results. I asked about the skin serum in particular. She advised that it was something around $80 a bottle, but that she had one or so last holiday packages for $73 that had it included with cleanser and moisturizer, so I opted to get that. She also added a free, small pot of the foundation she had used, with the name written on the bottom so I'd know what to select if I wanted to get more later. I usually would prefer to go to an actual MAC store, but this experience at The Bay was better than what MAC had to offer. Would definitely go back, especially if the same staff was there.

However, at the same time the gifts that I can buy there are so unique that people have no idea where they came from and so you get a lot of social credibility from it.

If you are looking for children's books about the city, or TTC related clothing and pins, or niche Toronto merchandise, this is the best store in the city. You're not going to find any better patches to sew onto your coats or bags, any better keychains, magnets, books on local history, or even games. The store is absolutely worth your time. And, if you are showing some guests around toronto, it is worth stopping in here too. Plus, it's on such a perfect walking tour of the city that why would you pass it up?
