I went to the Kensington Road location in Calgary today and the kitchen staff was extremely helpful in accommodating me as a vegan. They offered to make a vegan version of any of the items on the brunch menu and also had several salads at the deli counter that I could have ordered, and a vegan bowl. They even printed off the ingredients list of the three salads at the deli counter that are vegan so that I could read the ingredients myself (without me having asked for this). I ended up ordering the Spicy Tofu and Brown Rice Power Bowl, which was delicious. I knew that the bowl would take a few extra minutes to prepare because it was not part of the brunch menu but ordered it anyway because I didn't mind waiting. The kitchen staff came over to my table after I ordered and offered me a free beverage of my choice while I waited for my food. I ended up having a delicious latte with soy milk while I waited the few minutes it took to make my bowl. The bowl was a mix of tofu and mushrooms in a delicious sauce over rice with fresh raw vegetables. I would definitely go back for the Spicy Tofu and Brown Rice Power Bowl and to try other menu items. Also, the Kensington Road location is a really nice space and I like the set up (you order at the counter then they bring you all of your food). read more

Grossly overpriced and overrated. Pompous attitude but will continue to be successful because it's where the wealthy supports the wealthy. I was appalled by the price of water...just to start. Never..... read more

My elderly roommate made an order for pickup that got mixed up in a few ways..... Roast beef was sliced thick not shaved as requested. When his friend picked it up and brought it home it was realized that the order was wrong and expensive (over 100 dollars). My roommate phoned and complained. His grievance was immediately acted upon by the staff at Sunterra. The kind lady for customer service Helga personally delivered the proper asked for order and rebated the charges to a gift card. I haven't seen customer service like this since the 90s...... Well done Sunterra Market ( thank you Helga). It was a miscommunication that was a shared responsibility, Sunterra took full responsibility and I thank them for that. Jeff Finley read more

We used the catering service for a recent home party. We ordered two meals, each for 8 people, the salmon and roast beef. The meals arrived hot, on time and with beautiful side dishes - salads, hot vegetables, salad dressing, horse radish and dinner rolls. Everything was delicious and we had some leftovers that we distributed happily to our guests! I found Sunterra's pricing reasonable and believe we got excellent value for our money. I will definitely use their services again! read more

I have never been to this restaurant before but they had a booth at the Rocky Mountain Food and Wine Festival this year (2018) and the food items that they had there were amazing! They were serving: - Crepe Flambe - Pork Vindaloo - Brushetta Toast - Prosciutto Carbonara I didn't have the pork vindaloo because I don't eat Pork but my family had it and they said it was amazing! The Crepe Flambe is also vegetarian and amazing! read more

I went to the Sunterra market so I could get something to eat...even complimented the workers there saying everything looked great....as soon as I picked up a sandwich a woman told me I was to pay for it first...I said I wasn't done shopping and she followed me around to make sure I wasn't stealing....yes I am homeless have been for 4 years and trying to get out of this situation but I didn't need to be insulted by her presence as I shopped for my food.....just so you know..I DID have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars in my wallet.....not sure if I want to go back to any of your fine establishmen ts......might just go somewhere else....I DON'T STEAL.....thanks jerks read more

I came for the chocolate croissants and ended up staying for a bite to eat at the market bar upstairs, i ordered the prosciutto arugula piadina and the service was wonderful but i was expecting a fluffier base but it was more like a tortilla. It was just not my thing and i ended up not eating it and heading downstairs to the to-go food area. One of the managers aswini asked me if i was ready to order and i said that i had already ordered something upstairs but i wasnt a fan so i came down here to grab something else. He immediately offered a refund and when i declined he offered to get me something else in place of the piadina! He got me the roasted salmon, tomato salad and a baked potato! So so kind and proves this location has the best service! Thank you Sunterra on 12th read more

After feeling like I could not find a good market to save my life, I stumbled across Sunterra. Thank goodness I did! It's a funky mix between a Whole Foods, a Lassens, and a Trader Joe's. It has some really good hot food deli's, some DIY salad bars. Lots of fun ethnic condiments and drinks. Good selection of meats, packaged, raw, and otherwise. I was travelling while on the Whole 30 diet and needed to find legit cooked whole food that met the requirements. I walked out with three bags full of food for around $100. So I was stoked. Not a lot of English speakers here and I asked for some help a few times but was (with one exception) either shrugged at, or just pointed toward a spot away from where the person was. But if left on my own you would be able to find what you needed eventually. I was so glad to find a good spot that had all sorts of options, including gluten-free, nut butters, La Croix, hot sauces, lots of olives, condiments, and tons of coffee (and they have a coffee bar!). So yea, I don't know how popular this place is but I'd shop here a lot if I lived here. Good selection of vegetables too! read more

Went there for lunch and limited menu, no service, food was average. Bar was not open and most of the washroom stalls were out of service.

I knew it'd be a different setup because of covid-19. But the service from the staff was so obviously rude and inconsiderate. From the moment my husband and I walk into the store, a tall brown security guard followed us around while we were looking at items and what's worse, was that even while we were ordering our salads, he was watching us. Give me a fucken break. Has he not seen two young coloured adults walk into Sunterra to eat? He needs to keep his eye out for actual thieves, not customers that regularly come by there. Racist and agist, and such a poor security guy. Also, we order salad and it came pree made. It wasnt what I was anticipating. The lady giving us our 10 diff salads was literally trying to rush our order even though we got the cash to pay them. Goofs. read more

I regularly go to this Sunterra for lunch and to pick up food to eat back at the office. Generally, I am very impressed, with some exceptions. Here are some thoughts: - the prepared food is fresh BUT check the expiry dates on any pre-packaged dips, desserts, baked goods, etc. I had a few instances of expired food. The pastries especially have a tendency to be old, to the point of being inedible. I got a free slice of cake on my birthday (by being signed up to the Sunterra points program), and I selected one of the mousse desserts. The mousse had shrunk from being dried out and tasted gummy and disguisting. I could not eat it. - The upstairs level consists of cafeteria-style "stations" where you can order items such as pasta, pizza, soup, crepes, and other entrees. There is also a sit-down restaurant. I like the food upstairs, but the ordering system is chaotic. There are multiple lines leading to the various stations and cash registers, and you are not sure who is waiting to order, pay, and/or pick up their food. When they first opened, they even had to have employees explaining to customers how the system is supposed to work.. I've never seen the need for this at any cafeteria, deli, or restaurant. They should have a number system. I avoid this area during the lunch hour. - My favourite items are the fresh squeezed juices and the bagels, and the yogurt with fruit and granola. The salad bar is nice as well, with lots of unique topping options. It does get messy, with the topping bins getting "cross contaminated" by the time the lunch hour is over. - I find the prices to be quite good for lunch. Sandwiches are $5 (more if you're getting it on a wrap or baguette), paninis are around $6, soups are around $4. You can get a decent salad from the salad bar for $5-6. The entrees upstairs are more pricey ($6-7 and up), but generally you can eat for under $10, comparable to what you would pay for fast food. - The supermarket prices are higher than your average supermarket, but they carry more upscale and smaller brands that are not commonly found. The produce is great, and they often have heirloom or local fruits and veggies. I would not purchase all my groceries there unless I lived nearby, but it's great if I need to pick up a couple of ingredients for dinner or to make lunch back at my office. - There are a lot of samples throughout the store, especially if you are there around lunchtime. read more

Sunterra Market - Prairie Seven Grain Salad from the deli ($1.39/100g). A full small container (approx 1 cup) worked out to be around $3. - Grocery Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Picked up dinner as we often do at our local Sunterra. My wife ordered the ukrainian feast and I picked up a single serving tourtiere. Well the cabbage roll was nearly all rice and the tourtiere turned out to be chicken pot pie mislabeled. Very disappointed. We will start looking at alternatives. read more

Went downtown Calgary on a Friday for lunch with family. Lots of options that you can buy on the main level and bring upstairs on the indoor terrace. Upstairs, there is a restaurant serving meals and dessert. I ordered the pea soup with chicken with a side of garlic bread and it was very tasty. My husband ordered the pork bao's. Both our mess were generous portions. We shared a caramel pastry afterwards and that was good as well. I can tell the food served here is fresh. I will let the photos I took speak for itself! read more

I was a Sunterra lover and was super excited to learn about their online delivery. I've attempted three times now - every time I've received mouldy fruit and the most ridiculous substitutions that they do not make you aware of beforehand. I'm easily out over $100 and have received multiple products that I've had to throw in the garbage. Also important to note that Sunterra does not refund you for their mistakes. I will be sticking with Spud.ca and Instacart who both take care of their customers! read more

Love this place!! I've been to Sunterra's 2 other old locations in Downtown and tried their catering food, never disappointed! Always fresh and tasty! This new location on 2street SE did not disappoint me at all! At first, I thought parking would be a disater since it's located in the busy street, however, parking can be easily found and best of all, Sunterra refund you the parking money if you shop there too!!! (This surely nothing to beat!) Food, we tried the take-home-to-bake 1kg beef lasagna in a tray sized 8"x10", so I pop it in my oven for 15 min, waahlaa, it's ready to serve! Every bite is full of ricotta cheese, beef, spinach and tomato. Ingredients are so fresh, even better taste better and fresher than most of the restaurant served lasagna!! Hard to believe, and price is very reasonable (you definitely get you paid for, and it worths every penny) for fresh and quality product. It makes excellent choice for pot luck, take out. Dessert, never to missed! They got lots of individual dessert, cheese cake, mango mousse, tiramisu etc... We bought tiramisu, it's not bad, I don't mind if it's more moist and stronger coffee taste (just my personal preference, I like tiramisu with stronger coffee taste) read more

Sunterra Market - yummy lasagna - Grocery Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I've been here several times since they opened. The market is amazing and has a lot of great options. Their fishmonger has a great selection. Butchers has a lot of great cuts of beef. Upstairs they have a nice bistro with a lot of fresh foods and tasty homemade soups. Well worth the visit. read more

Sunterra Market - Entrance to grocer - Grocery Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

A great location within minutes of walk to public transit access, and for those driving came with incentives for refund on your parking ticket purchase just by shopping at this establishment. The selection of goods, and products were fantastic and up to my standards. We also went in for breakfast and tried Classic breakfast, French Omelette, and Asiago Bacon Burger. All of the foods were great and cooked well EXCEPT for my Asiago Burger as the meat was really dry which I was really disappointed with it and I won't be ordering that again unless it was a one off circumstance. My personal favorites are the baked goods (especially Apple Pies), pre-cooked meals, Cheese & Deli selections. I would shop here more often if this were closer to me. read more

I like coming to this Sunterra location because pre covid there were lots of chairs and tables but it is still a great place to grab coffee and a reasonable lunch if you look around for their specials. Great place to pick up specialty items for people who like to cook using quality meats and fresh vegetables. The staff are always helpful and there is lots of space to walk around safely. Every time I go I spot something new or learn something I didn't know before. Sunterra has done a wonderful job here and if you haven't been there do try it. I am sure you won't be disappointed. read more

We went there at 08:30 and almost closed , not much customers which had a nice experience. It is a nice market, I like it! Lighting is great, products are setup nicely and well maintained. Foods are tasty and fresh , good choice in Clagary ! read more

I was a bit disappointed by this grocery store. Perhaps my expectations should be tempered since Calgary's downtown is at the beginning of its residential resurgence, but while Sunterra was large, its offerings were not all that wonderful. Now, I'm a visitor to Calgary, and maybe the effects of capitalism in the United States has spoiled me, but if I could muster investors, I would open a gourmet grocery within shouting distance of all those condos near 1st and 13th. read more

Not many grocery stores in this area and this place sure stands out. Walking in it felt high end. The aisles were wide. It had people but didn't feel super busy. The items were very well organized, a decent selection of each item. They had a dessert section with lots of yummy options. The bread selection didnt seem the biggest. Prepared foods there was plenty. Parking is validated if under 30 minutes. At least for the spots I had in front. It's probably a bit pricier but there just did not seem to be many options in the area. read more

I have been buying bread from Sunterra and am horrified by their food safety practices as seen in the recent closure by AHS. Never again.

We ordered a turkey dinner for two for December 23 and found it be a poor choice. The turkey was very tough and the dressing was not what we expected at all. Would not recommend this meal at all. The only thing we enjoyed was the soup. A J L read more

Much improved since opening day. For those customers who avoided this Sunterra due to the first couple years of disorderly rude employees and disorganized shelves with missing pricing, come back and you will find a new store. They hired a new grocery manager from Sobeys who reorganized, retrained and did an awesome job to transform Sunterra Keynote to its original vision. The Management change has seemed to positively influence all the other departments as well. The best quality about Sunterra is the availability of unique items and while pricey, they don't blatantly gouge you like they do at Sobeys or Community Natural Foods. While the Canadian grocers try desperately to match the American's in their quest to recreate Whole Foods and Trader Joes; after a couple years of fine tuning and new management, Sunterra has successfully done so with its Keynote location! read more

I attended a day long event today that was catered by Sunterra. They provided breakfast, lunch and a mid afternoon snack for eight, but truly it could have fed a small army. No one needs to eat that much food. However, I made a solid effort and now I feel like I'm going to explode. The breakfast portions per person were absolutely huge and at least half of the calories I'd eat in one day. We each were given a mini jug of fresh hand-squeezed orange juice, a sizable fruit cup, choice of a jumbo scone or muffin and a huge yogurt and granola cup. The yogurt cup also included fruit on the bottom and was to die for. It was so rich, delicious and filling that I really didn't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day. I snacked on the fruit later, which was good and ripe, and I had a bit of my muffin, which I actually wasn't a fan of. Not sure if it was a bit dry or what the situation was, but the berries inside just couldn't save it. Suddenly it's lunch time and I can barely think about eating until I see the Beef Lasagna. Game on. And hand me the Focaccia toast please. I skipped the Caesar Salad because nobody's got time for that when there's desert. The desert tray had at least 8 selections on it including cheesecake and chocolate dipped strawberries. The lasagna is loaded with goodness and a generous helping could compete with the weight of a brick. Everyone was practically rolling on the floor at 1pm from calorie overload and we were not prepared to look at any more food until the meeting ended at 3:30pm when someone realized that the afternoon snacks hadn't been served. Oh, please. Baggies for everyone! First I had to sample the Shrimp Salad Roll and spicy peanut sauce to be sure it was worth taking home. By golly, it was. I also loaded up on a few Hyerollers and skipped out on the cheese tray. Oh yeah, and I took home leftover fruit, yogurt, lasagna, toast and a colossal scone. This is seriously amazing catering (with the exception of the muffin I had) and you definitely get your money's worth. read more

I wish all grocery stores looked as pretty as this one. I'm not a fan of grocery shopping, so when I do it, I want the environment to as pretty as possible. Sunterra has fabulous deserts, baked goods and fresh OJ. The fresh meats are better than other grocery stores, by far. The cheese selection is a total delight for a cheese lover. They're pre-prepared food are great in a pinch. In general, most dishes lack robust flavor, so it's not my first choice. I know they try new recipes, but they should try new ones more often. I'd also love for them to collect customer feedback so they can improve the take away goods. The staff are delightful and I love visiting. read more

I met a friend here for lunch not to long ago and since she was late I was able to wander around through the store checking everything out. A little bit overwhelming for a first timer, but I was in love. When I first moved to Calgary I lived out near Britannia Plaza in the South. Being a former Vancouverite (and lover of Meinhardt's & Urban Fare) The Sunterra Market was a place I discovered & frequented on the weekends. Being part of the community I also loved it when they put on their free summer BBQ's. When my girlfriend finally arrived she was pressed for time so we both decided on the self serve salad bar. Loved the selection of items. Just as she was leaving my hubs showed up to drop off my son (juggling act). Hubs had not had lunch yet so grabbed some wings to go. His feedback indicated he was quite happy with his meal. My son and I continued to wander around the store picking up some items (vegetables, desserts, sausage, cheese) and of course a coffee before we left for home. I love how you can stop in here and grab something to make at home, warm up at work or home, eat in or eat on the go. So many options for a busy family! The food is fresh and the staff helpful and friendly. I was also able to find a parking spot on the street but there is parking underground. read more

Ordered a Mother's Day Ham & Egg Croissant brunch Kit for Mother's day. It arrived on Saturday evening, but was missing the Ham! Called Sunterra immediately, got a run-around on the phone because no one bothered answering the phone. I was promised that the missing item would be shipped out first thing Sunday morning. Guess what - it never arrived. Sent an e-mail to their contact address, still no response. Extremely disappointed with Sunterra and their customer support. Will never order anything again from them. If I don't get a response from them in the next few days I am going to cancel the credit card charge read more

went up to the restaurant for breakfast today, and I was happy we did! lots of room to sit, and lots of choices to eat. I got the Classic Breakfast - 2 eggs (poached) 3 sausage links, 2 slices of toast, and a huge bowl of fruit! for $6.95, which is a great deal. in my opinion. the set up is kind of a Shitshow for ordering - lots of weird lineups that make it so you're awkwardly standing in the middle of an aisle , but you can't really move without blocking the opening for the staff to get in & out, or the drink cooler, etc etc. but whatever - a decent breakfast for a good price - who cares where I have to stand! read more

So Sunterra claimed to be helping out Essential service workers from Hospitals during the pandemic. My friend goes in to buy groceries as they said 25% off for AHS employees. Goes to pay with a basket pull of groceries and everything full price. Maybe a couple throwaway items on the 25% sale. What a joke this place is truly is, should be ashamed of themselves. The price gouging they current participate in is bad enough. Do not recommend poor service, they lie and high prices. NO thanks. Lower than 1 star. read more

You know what? Marketbar is growing on me like a vine of ivy on a garden lattice. We've had several encounters now, mostly for coffee, but the odd breakfast or lunch outing as well. And Marketbar, the more time I spend with you, the more I'm smokin' what you're rollin'. The staff are doin' a great job between keeping customers served while in the midst of preparing all those hot meals, there's plenty of space to sit down with your coffee, food, newspaper, laptop, etc. and it's all mighty clean and well cared for. The menu for the lounge side looks mighty appetizing, though I've only been on that side for some meetups at this point. But with a decent drink selection and what looks to be deliciousness on the menu, you might just find me here for a casual evening out soon enough. April Underdog Challenge: 4/30 read more

So excited to come here. Too bad it so far away from where I live. The staff here were friendly and very helpful. Didn't have to wait long in line. Good selection of salads, hot food and sandwiches. But what I was most excited about was the bakery. Wow a great verity of baked goods for a decent price. Full fruit pies and cakes, bars, cookies, macaroons and so much more. Sweet tooth heaven. The only reason I gave it four stars is because of the parking. For people who don't come here often it's a bit confusing. You pay for parking and then get reimbursed for your parking ticket inside. On the paying kiosk it said you don't have to display your ticket on your dashboard but upon returning to our car there was a parking ticket. Went in to dispute with the store manager he said he would look into it. Hopefully it gets resolved. Next will walk there LOL!!!!! read more

I have never loved a grocery store as much as I have loved Sunterra. Please come to California. I loved everything about it - the convenience, the feel, the offerings. It was on the first floor of the condo I was staying at so the convenience could not be beat. The food was fresh (even the prepackaged goods) and the baked goods were so yummy. I mustered up enough self control to not buy out the whole department. We tried the pre-made pizza which was good but I didn't bake in the oven long enough. If I were ever to visit again, I would have every meal here. read more

I love this place. Always have a great experience stopping in here for a sandwich or one of their pre-made items from the deli. The BBQ chicken wrap and a small tray of mixed vegetables are my go-to (forgot to pack a lunch) lunch favourite. They have a bakery, a salad bar, and a restaurant. So much variety. There is something for everyone. I love whole foods and this is about as close to that as you can get in Calgary. read more

Lovely market with high end items. Sort of an odd layout and we never did find the hummus, but everyone was very nice trying to point us around each department. We stocked up on veggies and deli stuff for our long weekend getaway in Calgary. read more

We were invited to a semi-retirement party up the stairs at Sunterra Market on 12th where I had no idea they had meeting rooms or even a restaurant for that matter! Quite impressed. The Community Table as it is called is staffed by a couple of members (who were amazing this night, R and R, you were so friendly and went out of your way to make the party a good one!) who feed the guests inside the room and even serve your beverage for you. The party was in a space that also doubles as a place for cooking classes via Sunterra so there was a kitchen and a couple of long folding tables that fit inside the room. The party was intimate and had just the right amount of space for the people invited without anyone having to go without a chair. Included in the very reasonable cost of having a function here was red wine, white wine and a selection of bottled beer, even Corona which I was impressed with. The food 'buffet style' along the kitchen counter was made up of appies that included shrimp skewers wrapped in meats, crab puff pastries (Oh God yum!), wraps, fresh chicken spring rolls, quiches, fruit, cheeses, crackers and the like. And you know it is going to be fresh coming straight from downstairs. A good time was had by all and I am so glad they have a licence to serve alcohol up there. The night was complete with a tour of the restaurant on the top level and I was impressed with that too although I am sure it looks different during the day with hundreds of people up there! I was happy to get to know Calgary just a wee bit more this evening. It seems as though Sunterra plays into the community beautifully and it has a lot going on for it that I did not even know about - including catering! read more

I love this Market! I visit the one close to downtown 12 Ave SE nearly every day! staff is so nice. products are delicious! I wish they would match the prices for water, milk or yogurt with other markets so I would not have to go somewhere else that sells cheaper. I really like them! read more

Sunterra is one of Calgary's gold-finds. This location in particular, however, is a foodie's paradise. Not only does it have awesome groceries and prepped meals for the last minute shopper, it's eat-in counter has a wonderful loft with large windows that make for a wonderful dining experience on a sunny day. The food and service are particularly good at this location. I've been for both breakfast and lunch, and have enjoyed everything I've ordered. For breakfast, I'd recommend the breakfast fajita. And for lunch? Whatever the special happens to be that day. Honestly, you will not regret having ordered the special. read more

Since this place opened near my office in the East Village it's the best place around to get something healthy to eat at a somewhat decent price. Love the selection of great salads and am addicted to the fresh squeezed orange juice they have. If you go at lunch you can subsidize your meal by eating all the great samples they have out too. read more
