I always feel like i should preface reviews of random places like this with some sort of…read moredisclaimer. This is a review of the shop for what it is-a neighbourhood convenience store. It's not fancy or anything and you'll pay more than in the big supermarkets but it's VERY convenient. They've somehow managed to squeeze most things you could randomly happen to want into one small shop. They have usual grocery bits and pieces, milk, dairy, some ready meals and packaged cakes. Even chocolate chips-my downfall. There's no excuse not to clean-lots of laundry/household detergents etc. Randomly-they have DVDs for rent -there's a photocopier -the clothes hung in plastic bags in the back corner are because they offer dry cleaning -they'll cut your keys -good selection of greeting cards -coffee and lottery! The random mishmash of different services makes me smile and it's so so handy. They open pretty late too...not entirely sure how late but until at least 11pm. Win!

I wish more stores had the hours that starbank has, I guess I have to spend my money here :)

Busy Bee is a family run bodega style operation in the heart of the downtown core. They are one of…read morethe only stores that bring the "convenient" back into convenience stores. Only here have I seen such a wild array of goods from all over the world that you won't find anywhere else. Exotic cheese? They got it. Premium Ginger Beer? Of course they do. Korean snacks and instant ramen? This is the place to check out. From plumbing supplies to rice cakes Busy Bee has it all. I can't say enough about how friendly the staff are and how professional they are handling their customers. Given their location on the corner of King and Bathursts entertainment district and being open 24 hours, they get a lot of party animals on weekends and the occasional panhandler sitting outside their doors.

Yes, it's a convenience store, but it's an independently-run convenience store, is in my…read moreneighbourhood, and is open 24 hours. Busy Bee has been a bacon-saver for me for some time now. Once at 11:00pm I realized that I needed a blank CD to load some files onto for the next day. With everything else closed, I took my last shot with Busy Bee. They were open and the only question they had in response to my blank CD request is "how many you need?" Definitely what you want to hear. It's a large store with a wide range of merchandise that will help you out in those emergency times of need. The staff are efficient in their manner and will help where they can. It does have the tired look of a place that is open 24 hours, but you'd be exhausted to, if you worked around the clock.

The people where nice, but when i pass this place, I can see some people smoking weed. The people that run the place are nice, and this place IS very popular. The snacks and food there are over priced, $3 for a small bag of chips while I can buy that same bag a chips a block away for $2. A bottle of coke was also $3 but I could have bought a bigger bottle for the same price. I would have given it a 4/5 if the prices weren't so ridiculous.

I should have stuck to this rule but one day I guess I decided it would be alright to pick up a box of cereal. I figured that sort of thing takes a long time to expire so I grabbed Multigrain Cheerios and was on my way. When I had my first bowl I knew something was wrong -- it was very stale and tasted like sawdust. To my surprise the front of the box was advertising the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney... I bought the cereal in 2002. So even though this place is fine for your usual convenient store items I would highly suggest staying away from any food. And if you do find yourself browsing those items then make sure you check the expiration date because they likely have tins of beans from 1997.
