Been using Centra all of this year due to the Pandemic. It was one of the first Asian grocery…read morestores in Aurora before T and T came along. We had been ordering online via the Gocery app. Super easy to use and we use it like a grocery shopping list. In the beginning of the pandemic, you didn't need to tip for delivery. Customer service is wonderful as well. If Centra doesn't have certain items, they might call and ask if you'd like a refund or exchange for another. The rep mentioned that it's cheaper to order through their website and delivery is free (over $99). Tipping wasn't necessary either. I've only had issues once out of the numerous we've ordered. They had forgotten something and ended up re-delivering an item to me. Everything was always fresh. We especially love their salmon filets. I did notice sometimes we had due dates that were a bit close to expiry though (yogurt, milk). But if you have an extra freezer it probably won't matter. We'll be getting our groceries here for a long while.

Tip: This store has the best pasta section…read more Last Saturday, I was shopping at my usual Walmart in the Copper Creek part of Markham. I was low on orzo. Sadly, this store didn't have any. It had the more popular pastina as the only small pasta. Bummer. I needed orzo. While in Aurora, I passed by this Longo's. I know that Longo's has a decent selection of pasta. This store ended up exceeding my expectations. I had been in this plaza a month or so ago. It has Wild Wings and Booster Juice that I had visited. It was time to go grocery shopping here. I found a parking spot fairly close to the exit. I don't mind walking a bit further to get to the entrance. It's better to be closer to the exit when you're hauling groceries. That thought could be just me. Prepared sandwiches greeted me. I was transfixed by the prepared foods. I love the empanadas at Longo's that you can grab and heat up. I also liked seeing meal kits. The floral section was pretty. It was nice looking at the orchids. There were lots of roses. I found the pasta section. Each Longo's has a similar setup, which makes finding what I need to be a breeze. This store has an extensive selection of pasta. I saw heart-shaped pasta just in time for Valentine's Day. I was happy to see small pasta varieties by Italpasta. The big, um, small four were all there: - Acini de pepe - Alphabet - Orzo - Baby shells I was elated to grab a box of orzo. I felt so accomplished finding what I needed. I was intrigued seeing charcoal-greyish khorasan pasta. I may need to return to give it a try. Naturally, I wandered over to the bakery section. Butter tarts. Cheese sticks. Croissants. Cake. I wanted it all. There was a cake loaf sale. If I bought a loaf, I got a second one for free. I ended up getting banana walnut and carrot. I got the nicest woman at the checkout. She looked at the loaves and was surprised that this deal was going on. There were a bunch of BOGO deals, including cosmic apples that I was tempted to get. I had my Longo rewards barcode scanned. I then paid with a credit card. Done! I put all my items in my reusable bag. I thanked the woman and happily left with my goods. The loaves are yummy. I tend to have a slice of each flavour when I feel the need to have a snack. I'm glad that I got them. I enjoyed shopping here. When I'm in the area again, I'd stop by for my grocery needs. (35)

Best staff , always clean and orderly…read more This is the place I go for produce and meat as they are top quality . This week I dropped in very early just after the store opened to get some fish and produce for my wife's birthday dinner. The young man behind the meat counter came around and helped me select the proper fish, he then went out back and selected some fresh shrimp for me as well. Exemplary customer service. Produce at this location is the highest quality in town so I picked what I needed and left in short order with everything to make her special dinner. Rave reviews followed later that day. Thanks Longo's .

I live in Miami, and with our relatively small Asian community, nothing quite like Fresh Food Mart exists back home. For a foodie, this place is paradise -- or maybe a little bit of purgatory, knowing I was only there to browse and not actually fill a cart. The variety is incredible, especially when it comes to seafood and other proteins. The vegetables looked fresh and beautiful, and the selection of nearly everything seemed endless. Every aisle brought another discovery, from ingredients I rarely see at home to an impressive range of products that makes you want to start planning your next meal before you even leave. A monthly rental in Markham might be in my future... because having access to places like this could be dangerous for my wallet and very good for my kitchen.

Prices were also very reasonable considering they were shipped from all over Asia. At first glance some of the snacks have expired, 2-5 months from purchase date but it's actually the production date. Good thing for Google translate.

It is bigger than other stores I have been to and has a great selection of pantry and frozen items. Especially in a smaller community it's so great to have this, as sometimes in larger centres you have to visit a specialty store and it's much more expensive. Also I LOVE that there is a beer and wine section right in the store! And it's actually pretty extensive, single beers, and cider. 6 packs and some larger ones. So convenient, you don't have to go to a second store!

I used to work near Mount Pleasant and Eglinton in Toronto. I'd often swing by the Sobeys there. I then got laid off. One of my choices is to go to this Sobeys Extra in Aurora. I decided to drop by one Saturday. I parked in the lot. It was odd that there was a concrete island that separated a single row of spots on one side and a ton of spots that you'd expect on the other. It was different. I was just pleased to park somewhere. I love this store. It's nicely organized. The fruits and vegetables section looks inviting and healthy. I particularly liked the natural source section. It has a ton of dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan food options. I don't know much about cauliflower pizza, but I was happy with the varieties available. This place has empanadas! I love them so much. Yum! You can grab a number of take-and-eat items if you are either hungry and need nourishment fast, or want to bring something for lunch to work the following day and not make your meal. I also enjoyed all the pepperoni products from Noah Martin in St. Jacobs. I bought a pepperoni stick to try out and chomp on as I drove home. It was delicious. I need to come back and get more. Customer service was friendly. I didn't have to wait. I put my items on the conveyor belt, paid, and left with my groceries. Don't forget to swipe your Air Miles card here. The cashier let me know how much I could redeem, which was nice. Prices seem about the same as what you'd expect at Longo's. Some items are even cheaper. It's all about product variety for me and this grocery store has what I need. I definitely will. (291)

Look out Whole Foods. Sobeys is not letting you into Canada without a specialty food and gourmet…read moregrub fight - and us consumers are going to be the sole benefactor of this new next level battle of the grocery giants with Jaime Oliver leading the charge for Sobeys! The new Sobeys 'extra' concept is a total revamp, with a focus on specialty items and giving each item or genre of food on your grocery list it's own spot in the sun. This ain't your florescent lit-aisle after aisle- "discount on fish fingers in aisle 3"- grocery store anymore, it's a living breathing market filled with warm colours, soft lighting, expert displays and specialty EVERYTHING! Every aspect of the store has a tactile market feel that brings you in, gets you interacting with the store, it's shelves, displays and various specialty counters. Like the market your grandparents would have gone to, you'd interact and inspect each item before you purchase it. It's no different here. Except, Sobeys wants you to interact with the store itself. For example, sectioning off the dairy items into individual glass door-ed refrigerators which look slick and well polished - asking to be opened so you can grab your pick from behind it. The flow of the store begs to be shopped, there is no more walking up and down aisles, in Sobeys 'extra' you're led to the next item on your list in a natural flow as you would at a Sunday farmers market. Why have one counter for all deli when you can break it down into specialty counters, one for cheese and gourmet crackers, and one for deli meats. You can say goodbye to Starbucks, Tim Hortons and McDonalds in stores because at S.e. they're roasting their own beans in store in front of your eyes before they make you your cup of coffee! Amazing! I also eluded earlier that Jamie Oliver has his stamp all over this place as Sobeys new spokesperson. You see his books, his gourmet items and recommendations everywhere, as if he was some sort of Grocery Dictator. Hail Leader! *Salutes with organic carrot* These are a new breed of concept store and thus not everywhere, BUT, if you have a chance to visit Aurora (just off Hwy 404), north of Bayview and Wellington. I recommend that you do - It will blow your mind!

My only wish is that they would print a few uses on the back of the plant ID plastic identifiers, or on the invoice. This is the best nursery ever and the plants are clean, no little travellers!

Decent uptown Asian supermarket if you're looking for a less busy calm experience…read more Ranch Fresh Supermarket was our go-to at the start of the pandemic when they were one of the first stores to introduce masking for peace-of-mind. We still come back every so often as they still offer fair prices without corporate markup. Walking in, the familiar arrangement is in place with produce section in front right with a good variety of Asian vegetables & fruits. This is followed by packaged meats, butcher counter, frozen products, seafood section in the back with nowadays standard prices. The dairy, bakery, sushi and hot food sections round out the left side with some weekly specials. Between this is the usual set of narrow Asian grocery aisles. This isn't the most polished or busy supermarket but browsing here is pleasant with the relative calm that you don't always feel at congested places. From hot food specials, we tried their stir-fry eggplant ($5.98), sweet & sour fish fillet ($9.98) and Cantonese chow mein ($4.98) in good takeout portions. The eggplant and fish were both flavourful while the noodles tasted less authentic. There's a small seating area upfront. Skip it or hit it? When we're occasionally in the area, it's our preferred grocer for old times sake.

This review is based on one visit in January 2022…read more In era of a pandemic, grocery runs are major outings, and sometimes the only outing in a week. So it is only fitting that the first review I write in 2022 is on a grocery store. Ranch Fresh is good - the store is spacious, brightly lit, clean, well organized, well ventilated, cheerfully decorated. The fresh meat is really fresh. Just like other Asian supermarkets, most fresh meat items are sold by weight behind a butcher counter. There is some prepackaged meat if you prefer to grab and go. There is a big produce section with great varieties. Pricing is higher than its sibling store Field Fresh (Scarborough) and just about the same as Full Fresh (Markham). I cannot comment on services, because I didn't require any assistance. There aren't many Asian grocery stores in Newmarket. I trust Ranch Fresh is a good addition to the neighbourhood, providing diversity, variety and convenience.
