Balsam Tahini is a unique epicurean store with a huge variety of flavored fresh ground tahini's,…read morenut butters, halwa's, imported candies and gifts. The store looks small from the outside but a huge paradise of lovely delights await you to experience! Muhammad was so friendly, greeted us and was generous to let us try many of the freshest ground tahini's and flavored halwa's. All natural, vegan, non GMO and no preservatives or additives. With every taste, I couldn't pass anything up! I love the flavors of everything I purchased. These products are all excellent top quality made and packaged. The flavors are all creamy, smooth and burst with amazing taste! I bought some to give as gifts as you won't find many of these flavors anywhere in the world!! This is one of those shops you never forget and will return to every visit to stock up! Thank you Muhammad for your generosity and sharing with me your unique halwa's! Especially ALL your other naturally flavored tahini's!

Came across this place while picking up some dessert at this busy plaza in Eglington and Ridgeway…read more They offer various nuts both raw and roasted. They also have different confectionery offerings. The lady who was helping us said that they sell platters of these confectionery for parties and events. If you are a nut butter fan this place is an absolute treat and a must place to visit. They make it fresh on site! I am a coffee junkie and I saw that they also roast their coffee beans on site. I bought a pound of their arabica beans. As much as I love a light roast coffee, this was not my fave unfortunately 6/10 in my books. But, other than the coffee, this place is definitely a good store to visit if you love nuts and nut butter.

Ordered delivery. First impression was the toxic styrofoam containers that were melted into my…read morefood. Not too happy about that. There's a reason styrofoam is banned in New York state. Should be banned here too! We ordered the gyros dinner & chicken legs dinner. They came with rice, 1 roasted potato, & small salad. The gyros were inedible due to the salt content. Chicken was ok, although extremely salty as well. Both had great potential if it werent for the handful of salt in each plate. Wont order again due to the styrofoam & salt content. The wait for decent Greek food in the area continues....... Great value tho, if you dont mind melted styrofoam and lots of sodium.

Which was great for me. We bought some nuts and tons of Malban. Basically sugar, cornstarch and some nuts with some other flavours. We picked up just about each flavour. We have eaten just about all of them and they delicious. They are not too sweet and taste fresh. Other store bought are too chewy. But these were just right. Loved them. They also have fresh ground coffee that they grind right in front of you and add fresh cardamom seeds. The coffee smells so good and taste amazing. The lady behind counter tells us that soon they are going to start serving freshly made brewed coffee. Can't wait for it.

I'm not at my core one of the locavore movement or anything like that, but I am fond of the concept…read moreof supporting local business. So I've poked my head into The Meat Terminal on occasion. Aesthetically, it's not much to write home about. The walls are decorated with the standard meat charts, and there are posters from the Royal Winter Fair, which the store appears to participate in on some level. The meat is good, thankfully. I tend to usually pick up a few things Euro-style, getting a half pound of bacon to take care of breakfasts to come and a BLT or two and a chicken breast for that night's stir fry. The shop also has a hot lunch counter, and it's got a lot of tasty stuff. You have to get there quick or you'll find it's run out of the tastiest items as local workers show up. And we all know to follow the locals to where the good food is. The wrap I picked up one day was a bit greasy, but grease is flavour. I've never done a turkey or cow order from them, but if you need to pick up a couple items from them they're a good shop.

I absolutely adore this local cheese shop and their charcuterie board offerings! They have a great…read morevariety of cheese options as well as accompaniments for your next charcuterie board (like the spicy blueberry jam, dried apple slices, figs).

Farmhouse Artisan Cheese has all that you need for a perfect charcuterie board and more. I tried out the 14 Arpents, Grey Owl, and Brebisrousse. I highly recommend the Brebisrousse cheese as it was creamy, smooth, and mild. If you're looking for something crazy try Grey Owl, it was a creamy and semi mild cheese. The mold on top of the cheese is a little frightening but it kind of tastes like wine in a way. I don't recommend the 14 Arpents as it smells and tastes like a barn lol.

I have to give this place a 5, but not for their (sweet) baked items per se…read more They carry a phenomenal, phenomenal selection of Italian cheese. The most refined choices to the more humble of varieties. Same for their deli counter. A MASSIVE assortment of balsamics, olive oils and jarred antipastis. Bread selection was pretty good - I was very tempted to try their bread made with potatoes and flour but resisted. Next time. Staff are extremely friendly and polite. Just a nice place. Olde worlde vibe. Like me.

Our faves so far are the butternut squash stuffed pasta, meatballs, and calzone. Lots of yummy looking options to try. There's also an awesome sweets counter with cannoli (very good) and tons of other pastries. Some of the folks working are friendlier than others but overall usually is a good customer service experience. Love that they also offer more obscure/rare foodstuffs from all of the world as well - got a few interesting items for hubby's stocking this year.
