This location is in a reasonable location for me, just outside the downtown core, off a couple of main roadways and includes plenty of parking. There is a reasonable selection of produce and a good selection of prepared food, such a fresh baked bread, meals-to-go and even a restaurant on site for a quick bite. I needed something nice for Christmas Eve and ended up with two options. The tourtiere was authentic and fresh. The crust was flaky, with a lovely brown wash and the filling was delicately seasoned - YUM! I also picked up a ham dinner to-go and it was alright but overpriced at ~$30 each, which I felt to be steep for something like that. Upon asking, they substituted my dessert, which was appreciated. It included a citrus salad with pomegranate (okay but not great), squash soup which was creamy and my stomach can't tolerate, three slices of ham, undercooked broccolini and carrot, as well as mashed potatoes each. So, I guess it could be considered 'four course' and hence the price, but their other Friday grab-and-go packs are more reasonable and I'd recommend a pass on the holiday meals. I won't be doing it again. Every staff member that I encountered was friendly and helpful, although they seemed a bit overwhelmed for the holidays. Regardless, it was well stocked & clean. I was able to pick up some other needed items as well. read more

Ruined Christmas dinner. I ordered their Christmas feast for our Christmas Eve dinner. I ordered it in November- and paid for the privilege. On Christmas Eve...nothing! No food, no message, no phone call. Nothing. Don't trust them- they will ruin your celebration. read more

Have been thinking abt. the delicious burgers at W. Market Square for the past seveal mos. Finally got there today. Oh my..so disappointing. The burger was almost raw...so rare...I had to get it cooked more so I could eat it. But even then, the once delectable charbroiled local beef burger is now done on the grill and is flat and uninteresting and smaller. And...the thin, very thin, sm. slice of tomato has replaced the generous sometimes 2 large slices of tomato. There's more. The side caesar was 1/2 the size of the salad I had there last time. And the lettuce was crumpled and dry. Ubelievable. Must say, tho', the in-house caesar dressing was stellar, as always. And when I pointed out the probs. with the food, the staff was very gracious and helpful and tried to recify the probs. But to be very honest....I was just relieved to just get out of there. Time to soothe with some sugar...YES! So off to the bakery and ST's yummy bakery treats. They would soothe my palate and spirit. So..I bought this gorgeous Nanaimo bar...$3.99. A bit pricey, but it would be worth it. Guess what...it had no flavour of anything...no chocolate, no vanilla, no coconut...flat and tasteless. So, it's farewell Sun Terra cafe at West Market Square. I've learned my lesson...and so has my wallet. I blew $20 bucks. Lesson learned. read more

I bought a cake for my sister birthday the cake was expired it ruined my little sister birthday

I was so disappointed on Chrismas Eve. Sunterra was advertising everywhere that they could deliver Christmas Dinner. We ordered the whole deal - turkey, sides, etc. I was surprised, but excited, to see they had delivery spots Christmas Eve - we snagged a 4-6pm slot. Perfect! At 4, no delivery. Nothing at 5. Nothing at 6. Nothing at 7... At this point I called - closed, no afterhours/delivery contact. Nothing at 8... At this point we ordered takeout since clearly it wasn't going to be in time for dinner. At quarter to 9 it showed. Not a word of apology or explanation from the driver. Everything cold. I left voicemail and email with Sunterra asking them to get back to me. I know it was Christmas Eve and snowy and things happen. And if they'd taken a moment to respond, I'd have understood. But it's now been a week with no response whatsoever. I will never trust their delivery/catering again and I am SHOCKED by how poor their customer service is. read more

If you're not knowing, I'm here to let you know, that there's a dramatically better chocolate milk available at Sunterra that you won't find in your local grocers dairy case. It comes in a frosty glass bottle, it's made in Sicamous, BC by "D" Dutchmen Dairy, and it tastes like drinking melted chocolate ice cream. It's "out of this world" good. Moreover, they carry a brand of yogurt called Island Farms from Victoria, BC which tastes as good as yogurt could taste, yet rarely does. It's smooth and sweet and silky. In fact, it tastes down right decadent. Oh yeah, and they have other stuff too, I'm told! They have a large deli counter, bakery, produce, and a wide selection of already prepared foods available. They also have a sit-in cafe on site if you want to get a bite pre-shop. read more

I'm always impressed when I go into a Sunterra...has a nice vibe to the place. I was a regular at the downtown Sunterra which is huge so thought I would try the west location, which did not disappoint. The kitchen isn't as big and much less variety for lunch, but it's still awesome. The people are always friendly and nice to talk with. Salads, sandwiches and desserts taste super good. The grocery section is a bit pricey but they stock other items you can't always find in your typical grocery store. read more

Colossal disappointment. Just wasted $7 on an egg salad sandwich at Britannia Sunterra! Looked great in dim light..but was without any flavour of anything. Flat, crumbly, dry, with one very wilted piece of lettuce on what seemed like day-old bread...supposedly made today. Will never go back. Off to Wendy's for their incredible caesar. :D read more

One of my favorite Market to visit for high quality items & their brunch food menu. This is where I buy Stollen (Fruit Bread) every season. Every time I purchase items from this establishment, I am always satisfied with the purchase. The food & coffee are well made & just the right amount of seasoning. I would go here more often for breakfast if it wasn't so far out to get here. read more

Sunterra West Market, I used to love you, but now you are becoming sorta so-so. Please change back. I hear there is a new manager, which would explain the changes. The reason people go to Sunterra is for the unique products, the better-than-average deli, the specialty products, the good quality prepared foods, the local meat and produce, and those extra touches that make you less of a chain-supermarket than the worker-oppressing, farmer-nickle-and-diming super-everything-market. Stop taking away the things I loved. Those wonderful stuffed chicken breasts in individual portions, the always ready salmon burgers and fish skewers, the well-made artisan sandwiches than now have mangy fillings slapped together, the locally sourced meats, that today were replaced by Ontario turkeys (yes Mr. Manager, you can find organic turkey in Alberta! Please support our farmers). Your shelves have lost some products that you have been slow to resource. Finally, you need to improve your bread department! I want to keep shopping here and I want you to be different than those other markets, but it you keep devolving I will move by business along. read more

I went to the little restaurant in Sunterra market for dinner tonight and I find that it is hit and miss. I have had delicious dinners in there, and other times it is more in the a-ok category. I ordered the half chicken with a side of tomato bisque. The tomato bisque was amazing, but the chicken was so dry it was staring to get hard. I find that it has never been bad enough that I wouldn't go back, but it is not consistently good enough that I am ready to give it five stars. Now where I HAVE had a consistently good meal is breakfast. They make one heck of a breakfast there. read more

Sunterra is pretty consistent at all locations with similar menu items and grocery layout. This location is in a convenient location if you live in the south but is probably my least favourite of all the stores because they have less selection when it comes to take out foods. They have a small bakery section, but wonderful desserts that taste amazing! When you first walk into the market, you will experience a small cafeteria area so people can meet and have coffee. Provides a cozy atmosphere and makes the shopping experience more natural and convenient. read more

I have never been to Sunterra, since I was at a nearby business I decided to check it out. This place is quite big. They had the most beautiful bouquets right near the door so there was a pleasant sent in the air. After I passed the bouquets there was the smell of the near by cafe and dinning area. The deli has a good selection of meats, but I was impressed by the selection of cheeses, there was everything you could imagine! They also had a well stocked bulk selection of olives. I browsed the shelves and was taken back by the choices of sauces they had, there were numerous hot sauces, was was called "colon cleaner"! I found an organic black bean sauce I thought I would try, it was $7 for a medium sized jar (it didn't turn out to be that good, which was a disappointment). I found the everyday, name brand items cost the same as other grocery stores. The organic options they carry seemed to be a bit more pricey. I found some organic corn chips for $3 I decided to try. Their produce was all in good shape and well stocked, again the prices were comparable. I bought some strawberries, which were huge and turned out to be delicious. Their bakery is another story. They have fresh bagels for 80 cents each. There were pies for $10, I decided to get a apple one. There were about 5 choices of cheesecake, an individual piece cost only $3! There was a great selection of buns and breads. The lady at the til was very nice, she asked if I had a Sunterra number, I didn't, so she gave me the form to fill out. I decided to grab a drink at their cafe. The restaurant area was super busy, which must be a sign that the food here is at least decent. The guy working at the cafe was really bubbly and made me a london fog, even though it wasn't on the list of drinks. The hot drinks go for around $3.50 for a large, which is the cheapest I have seen in a while! I also got a piece of blueberry cheesecake as a treat, which was really good and not too rich. I loved Sunterra! It is probably a good thing I don't live too close to it, because I would come here all the time and with so many yummy things around it could be dangerous! read more

I took a trip over to this location of Sunterra Market over the weekend and I was MORE than impressed. Their selection of produce, food and snacks was extremely impressive. Plus their masterpieces in the desserts and deli section had me salivating on the spot. The best part of it all is that I realized that the prices at Sunterra Market really aren't that much more expensive than other grocery stores when it comes to certain groceries. I bought some crackers and jam and they cost pretty much the same as they would at a local COOP or Safeway. Plus I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous their flower bouquets are! Yes, they are on the pricey side, but they are stunning and extremely unique, so no wonder! Overall, I am a HUGE fan of Sunterra. Every time I go, it just keeps gettin' better. read more

i went into Sunterra to find veal shanks for osso bucco. Not great looking veal, definitely not white as it should be. All pre packaged veal had two pieces, one large one small. I went to the butcher. He was talking to two female staff. I explained that I needed 4 pieces of veal but they needed to be about the same size (out of town friends visiting). Butcher looked at me like I was from Mars, turned to female staff and continued his conversation. WILL NOT BE BACK. Went to Lina's and a very pleasant man found me four pieces of beautiful white veal exactly as I wanted. LESSON LEARNED - GO TO LINA'S. read more

Expensive, but well worth it. Funky, Fun and if you are a foodie this is a little slice of heaven. Interesting produce, and imported hard to get items. Meals at their restaurant/cafeteria are CHEAP, but like some of the other reviews have said can be exceptional or just average. I find the soups very good but the curries bland. read more

I love eating here!! How long has this grocery store been open? I feel like I've been going here since I was 13 or 14? I love the little restaurant on the inside and I often go here to meet my family for dinner. Another thing I love about this place is the bakery! I bought a chocolate cheesecake here on July 1st for my dad for his birthday and it was really good! Not sure who ate all of it though! read more

Sunterra Market has multiple locations, but this one is in a residential neighbourhood; most of the others are downtown. Brunch specials are $6-8 per dish, and the portions are smallish but tasty. The specials are limited before 11AM but after that the selection widens a lot. A great casual dining place, and modestly priced. read more

The groceries here are insanely expensive, but it's a nice place to pick up a grab and go meal on a night you don't feel like cooking. Try the "pie in a cup". It's literally just a piece of pie wedged into a plastic cup with whipped cream squirted on top, but Sunterra's pie recipes are fantastic. In particular, I love the pecan pie as it's not so much a traditional pecan pie filling as it is a dense cup of pecans held together with syrupy goodness. read more

This place is simply awesome! Located right in a strip-mall/Plaza of sorts, it's got a lot of supplements and natural health products, a good amount of free sample stations from what I remember, and even a café! I am still meaning to do a major (and healthy!) shop there :) read more

I miss the old Sunterra - good service, staff that care you're there. I was there today wanting to buy flax seed oil and clarified coconut oil. I looked at the shelf and couldn't see. Ask 3 employees who passed and all said they'd have to get someone else. No one else came by so I left. One em Pl Moyer actually said " you should try to find someone by the check out, they might know." That was not helpful. I left without what I wanted . read more

Don't like rookie packers. They forgot items and I didn't bother checking because I normally didn't need to. Check your bags people, staffers aren't doing what they should. May consider elsewhere in the future if I have to watch who is packing my bags. read more

Sunterra used to have good food. Now they don't. You get better quality from No Frills.

The produce is mediocre and they use the same supplier as Safeway. The deli counter service is very slow. read more

I like Sunterra. I was just not thrilled with my last visit. Yes, it was the Day before Christmas. The Parking lot was packed. But the customers were nice, even pleasant. I went to the produce department, where what did I find but the floor manage yelling at her staff, at the top of her lungs. From one end of the department to the next. At best it was jarring and sad. But I was there I just needed 2 pounds of strawberries, how hard could that be? Well they were marked up to $9 a pound. While not thrilled, I gave up on the Strawberries and headed for the bakery, but what did I find? 2 stock boys hiding from the screaming manager. Yet, I need Bread, which if memory serves were also market up. A lot. So I took my coupon for a box of free cookies ($25 value) and fled. I went to another grocery store in the area (No Frills) and found that the Strawberries were only $6 a pound (still I believe marked up, but at least affordable) and the bread I needed marked 50% off. Then I realized - no one, not the customers and not the staff - were yelling. How delightful. And to all, a merry Christmas. read more

Quality meats but everything else is over priced and mostly the same items you can get at a normal grocery store. If you are shopping at the Britannia Maket, don't! Ask to see the backroom if you aren't sure...nasty to say the least! If that doesn't do it for you, ask the manager about the mouse problem! So gross. read more

Really enjoy this location, their bread and bakery items are to die for, some of the staff can be as snobby as the people that live in this affluent neighborhood. If you don't have a Sunterra card number, you might as well live in a box behind the building. read more

This is my fave Sunterra. Not sure if it's because it is also head office but love the increased selection (compared to Britannia) and appreciate the bakery on site. Perfect for grocery shopping, picking up fresh meat and cheese or a quick dinner. This has quickly become my fave grocery store. Also helps to have a Starbucks next door. read more

While I love the concept of Sunterra's restaurant food offerings which are prepared to order at a reasonable price, I was sadly disappointed with my meal. I walked in with a craving for tofu and veggies on rice (not typical of me!) and was pleased to see exactly that on their menu board for a mere $6.49. What came out was a goopy brown mess, so salty and distasteful that I was embarrassed for them. Perhaps the cook has a "more is better" philosophy when he poured the entire jar of stir fry sauce on my plate. Perhaps even worse was the condition my husband's side salad was in. You know when you find that forgotten bag of salad in your fridge, all brown and sad? It's ok if I try to serve it in your own home, but not what i'd expect at a place that boasts fresh, wholesome food. read more

A very nice place to eat. Food and service is great. I loved their burger and house salad!

Sunterra West Market is amazing. The staff are really great and most have been there for a long time. Makes coming back easy and friendly. Excellent variety in the grocery section for unique items such as spices and imported goods. Breakfast/lunch cafe is an amazing value -- can't beat the quality and not expensive at all. Dale the barrista is a long time staffer and has many regulars who come to see him. Love Sunterra!! read more

Great coffee, great breakfast. value for lunch too! Their fresh bread is some of the best quality and price in Calgary. A gem.

Do NOT waste your money at Sunterra West Market Square Bakery and don't think that by making an order for a cake you are guaranteed freshness. This used to be the case but recently quality of their cakes deteriorated. Instead of getting freshly baked cake that I ordered it turned out to be some 3-4 days old cake that they probably couldn't sell all week; even sides of the cheesecake were  different shades of yellow, disgusting! It went straight to garbage. Stay away from SUNTERRA  and instead support local bakeries that care about quality of the products and their customers read more
