Ridiculously over priced salad bar. Considering the salad is buffets style and sitting out all day with access to anybody. Very unsanitary for the price. And the ingredients not fresh. Not worth cost read more

I find Sunterra Markets pleasant, interesting, helpful and expensive. If you can afford to shop here you will have an experience that is vastly superior to other chain markets. As long as I feel that I got value out of what I spent, then I am a happy shopper. Would I shop for my family of 5 at these stores? No. Would shop for very specific items or good deals, possibly. The stores are always clean, the staff are ready to help you, and in most of my experiences are very knowledgeable. Plus with the hot foods available, they always smell great when you enter. read more

First time visiting Sunterra Market in Britannia. This will now be my weekly grocery stop. Spoke with several employees and all were very friendly and knowledgeable. I was pleased with the service I received from my cashier Klodi. She went above and beyond. Thank you Tiffany read more

Occasionally, I drop in here to pick up things I need when cooking French or Italian dishes as well as Canadian dishes. Especially, if I require good meat products and specialty ingredients like sauces. Also, great place to pick something up for lunch that is nourishing and tastes good. The location has an old grocery store charm and the aisles are small but adds to the coziness. I find the staff so amazingly helpful and friendly and many of them recognize me as a regular customer. Weekends can be quite busy so I would recommend weekday visits and shopping. Lots of parking on weekdays but on weekends can be difficult. While you are there visiting be sure to take in some of the cute stores in Britannia Plaza. read more

I used to love this place, very friendly and lots of options for someone who doesn't eat pork not to mention friendly employees but recently I was very disappointed that there is no beef options anymore, I used to get beef Salami and bison cold cuts and I understand they don't have a connection with that specific company anymore but there is literally nothing but pork in this store! I'm sure the deli can cut me some turkey or get me some seafood but it's a real shame they don't have beef sausage or anything of that nature.. as I said I'm really disappointed and unfortunately I probably won't be going here for my grocery needs anymore read more

I had the worst experience ever today, less than half an hour ago and experienced the ultimate hypocrisy at the same time. I am a regular customer, and after I paid for my groceries I asked for a bag. She gave me the reusable black bag. I asked her about the normal plastic bags that they always have, she said that she doesn't have them. So she charged me again for $0.37 and I even told her " I paid over 35 dollars and you are fussy about this bag". On my way out I spotted the plastic bags on the next till, so I went back to her and asked " how come you have plastic bags at that till and refused to offer me and I asked you for it?" , she answered " it's for grocery deliveries only". Here are my issues with this interaction: 1) Customer service wise: you should not charge high paying customer for just couple of items for a bag. 2) Ethically : You should've never lied to your customers. 3) Hypocrisy: If you are transitioning from single use plastic bags, then you should never offer them even for delivery customers. 4) You should've gone above and beyond and make your paying customer happy, I don't mind the 0.37 cents but I still feel that I got ripped off. read more

I didn't know that another Sunterra existed on the southwest side and so near to my home. This is a larger location on a street corner that has all the tasty delights of the Sunterra deli but it also acts like a grocery store. This is such an attractive shopping experience; besides the standard rows of produce, vegetables are displayed in baskets, there is a floral area with very nice colourful full arrangements, a small magazine and newspaper area, a bakery, cold meat and cheese area and a fresh meat and poultry butcher area. I was amazed at the bakery selection, really nicely made cakes, fresh bread loaves and pastries at really affordable pricing. I came away with a half dozen pecan butter tarts at $3.50 and I noticed that 5 star cakes and pies were all under $20. What appealed to me the most was the dedication of the staff working there, first of all they are dressed very elegantly in their pristine Sunterra uniforms but they are so patient and present in serving their clients. This is a refreshing way to get your shop on, in a market with an upper scale feel. read more

Sunterra Market - a variety of fruits and vegetables - Delis Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

See all

I love Sunterra Market....it's a nice and cozy atmosphere with a local feel. This Britannia location isn't the best of the bunch but it's a pretty solid market with some awesome pre-made food and tasty dessert. I've always enjoyed dropping by and have a coffee and dessert and picking up some dinner or lunch items for the week. You'll some some things more pricey then your local superstore but you can't beat the experience of going into a small quant market like Sunterra. Try it out...I'm sure you'll enjoy it! read more

I was recently deflowered by Sunterra Market here in Calgary. For all you Torontonians, it is the equivalent of The RichTree Marche. You walk in, and you feel like you've entered another city! It feels like you're in Italy, wandering the market place! The groceries are fresh and the desserts are to die for. The foods are well-cooked and the atmosphere is memorizing. Yes, I'll admit that it is definitely on the pricier side, but I'm not surprised given the environment they have created! They have to support bringing Italy to us, so I can definitely support paying a bit extra to take an impromptu trip abroad ;) read more

Coming from Toronto, I've found EVERYTHING in Calgary more expensive. But I've never seen anything like Sunterra before in my life - and I've shopped at Pusateri's and Bruno's and Summerhill Market. Assessment: A good but insanely expensive meat counter and deli, a mediocre selection of insanely expensive shelf goods, a nice little bakery that actually isn't too stupidly priced for the quality, a piss-poor selection of too-often past-its-prime produce at prepare-for-the-apocalypse prices, and last but not least, ready-prepared meals that I can charitably describe as second rate - that they describe as "gourmet" and "feasts", and mark-up by 500 to 700% by my estimates. These guys have the biggest cojones in the country. read more

Sunterra has a lot of specialty products that are hard to find so I only go when I need to replenish something. It is pricey, but it is meant to be an upscale market-style grocer. That being said, I expect more at their prices. Their checkouts need an update - and the lighting is very dim throughout the store. Many of their wire shopping basket are missing the corner wire, and things will fall through. I asked the staff for a plastic bag to use while I shopped and they told me to choose a different basket. I went through 3 more in their pile before finding one that the small glass extract bottles I was buying wouldn't slip through the corner and smash on the floor. read more

I love this market. It has a nice selection of specialty items that are hard to find in supermarkets, and they support independent local producers. In the summer there is nice Western Canadian produce. The quality of the meat is excellent and much comes from their own farms. The only negative is that parking is difficult and the Brittania plaza is often congested. It is a little more expensive, but the difference in quality is worth it. read more

Went here on a sunday with my mom and sister. Lots of samples to.try their fruit and their products. Prices are a bit more for some items so if you can shop around i would. They had samples of their banana bread which is so good here! They also sell.freshly squeezed OJ for 7.49. Friendly service. read more

I really like this supermarket. The service is great!.. And everything is really fresh and organic!!.. Also, if you are lazy to cook, you can find a lot of thing already made, that you just have to cook it without prepare it... In addition, They always have fresh fruits already sliced and ready to eat!! And fresh juices!... This is my favorite supermarket in the area!! read more

I go to this Sunterra market on nights when I want to cook but I don't want to prepare food. Their meat counter has all kinds of delicious marinated meats and stuffed chicken breasts that you can just bring home and cook. It's quite pricey (usually close to $30 for two chicken breasts) but that is the price of convenience I guess. read more

Not a fan. I live close and we don't have great grocery store options so we go here kind of as a "corner store". It's small, expensive and it STINKS! Honestly, it smells rotten in there. How can the manager not smell but then go "meh whatever". The reason I'm giving 2 stars is only because they have awesome fresh thin crust pizzas for $7. read more

Horrible service. Nobody seems eager to help or have product knowledge. I think the store is deceiving they're hardly any organic options or grass-fed not a fan read more

Great market. Some items a little more expensive that chain markets, but their beef is the best, and least expensive compared to any chain. Will only go here for beef tenderloin. Fresh squeezed o.j. is always a deal as well. Usually just visit the Strathcona location. read more

I don't make it to this location often simply because I have others within easy walking distance but when I'm in the area its likely I'm going to stop in. Feeling peckish and trying to decide do I do the good thing; go home and cook - nah, do I eat out - trying to be good here! or do I pick up something ready made and heat it up at home - maybe, let's see what Sunterras got to entice me. This location is a bit smaller and darker than some of the newer stores (Beltline or Sirocco Dr.) but its an original. They have all the same great stuff in the butcher cabinet, bakery department and ready made dishes. The grocery numbers are probably a little fewer than the newer bigger stores but they will still have the majority of what you are looking for at any given moment. read more

I have been a regular customer here for many years. That's only because I live closeby and its convenient. The ground beef has to be the best in town that I have tasted, especially considering the price. The deli is questionable, as is the salad bar. Some of the staff are really good at helping the customers, while others have no product knowledge or an understanding of the English language. The bakery staff are very good and the bread is of excellent quality. They have improved in the last year as they now have some competition in the area, with ready made foods and take-out. The price of the everyday groceries and necessities are much higher than other stores. read more

I live very close by this gourmet grocery store, so I visit often. The staff here are always super friendly and helpful. The fruit selection is fresh with a good selection. My favourite is the pre cooked meals for two. I recommend you try the banana bread, prime rib, butter chicken and many more. Sunterra smells of delicious coffee beans and the atmosphere is like an italian market. read more

no thanks, I'm blind and Sunterra isn't on a bus route. Half the time, when I've placed online orders, the products are not available, and there are frequently no subsitiutions available. Its like pulling teath to deal with the staff. I must always call and confirm that my order was received, staff don't check website. Frequently, the staff that are hired don't speek English as their first language and don't understand questions and won't ask their manager questions about the $50 minimum order policy when Sunterra, themselves don't have the products I requested. so no thanks. read more

I work for a large company and have tried to use sunterra for catering on two seprate occasions. The first one i asked for a quote and told them that i would contact them if i decided to go through with it. I had decided to go with another company due to better pricing. However, when the day of the event came , Sunterra showed up with the food in tow. We ended up having to pay for the food as they wouldnt take it back. Leaving us with double the amount of food and a $800 dollar bill. after that i didnt use them for months, but when a request came in for catering someone asked that we order from there. I did and the order never came, I called and they told us they had no record of the order being placed. Long story short, i will never order from them again. read more

Sunterra has an undeserved reputation for quality. We had a very poor experience with a catering order for a wedding on July 11 at the Britannia store. Their inability to properly cross check their orders cost us 2 back to back trips over 3 hours between Canmore and Calgary which also led to the father of the bride missing the rehearsal in order to solve the problem. The manager, Brian, was not at all helpful and rude when it came to resolving the problem. No real compensation for the hassles involved to the customer was offered other than 1 pie. For $500 spent, their offer was one $9 pie. Store staff admitted that the communications between the store and the catering dept are haphazard. The attitude of the manager through this was unforgivable. Be aware that using their catering dept may be a risky business. read more

The staff is very helpful and friendly, the produce is first class, fresh, and reasonably priced. The quality of the wide and unique assortment of prepared foods ranges from good to excellent. This place has the feel of a real market. I like the fact that it is a bit 'rustic' as I find Safeway and other big stores far too antiseptic and overly fluorescent for my liking. read more

i agree with other posters that the prices are higher than the box stores. i just called at 2 pm asking if any chicken pot pies were available and chef said no but he could have staff make some for me. i will be picking them up after 4. isnt that service with a capital S? read more

Picked up three desserts for lunch last week - two pieces of cheesecake and one carrot cake (if you could call it "carrot" cake). All three were dried out and totally tasteless, not like the desserts we remembered having previously. The carrot cake was so dry, it almost crumbled and was hard to cut. All we could taste was spice, nothing else. Very, very disappointing. read more

Don't ever order catering from Sunterra. One day the bread for the sandwiches was so tough, staff were taking out the filling and tossing the bread. Today, the catered lunch simply never arrived. No call from Sunterra - few apologies and no explanation when we called ("The driver's not picking up - that's a good sign")- no lunch and a dozen people waiting nearly an hour, until they gave up and ordered pizza. read more
