This review is for delivery services only, I've attached it to this location, as it is the closest…read morelocation to me. I have been extremely pleased with Meridian thus far. They offer a wide variety of produce and speciality foods. I have discovered some of my favorite new items through purchasing through them, and for a shop of this calibre, the prices are good too. Their delivery service is prompt in that you can select a delivery for the following day, and their deliveries are well packaged, sustainable and returnable/recyclable. Their delivery person is also really nice, which can change, but is a nice bonus. I'd say their website user interface needs some help, as things go missing in my cart without notification, but that's a minor nit to pick. The best aspect of this company is their customer service. They are very considerate of their customers - I once ordered some chips and was given a small discount after purchase because of the short shelf life. The explanation came on a little note (see photo), and I appreciated it the thought!

It is located in a busy strip mall in Ladner/Delta with plenty of free parking which is always a plus. As this was their Grand Opening weekend, they offered their Build Your Own Bowl for $7.99 which is a great deal as it is normally $15. And that is what I like about Steve's, that they build your bowl right in front of you. Perfect. I opted for the 1/2 rice and 1/2 quinoa base, with three sauces: Steve's Wasabi Mayo, Steve's Shoyu and Steve's Spicy Mayo, spicy tuna as the protein, edamame, corn, pineapple and all the crunchies (sesame seeds, fried garlic, fried onion and seaweed flakes). The presentation and taste were amazing. And the service from Melina and Zoey was fantastic...they were so personable and attentive. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend Steve's Poke Bar.

It's actually my go to place in town for vegan options (besides Jerry's Market). A huge freezer section too stocked with local and specialty delights!

The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient and don't try to push extra (I'm often ordering for one). Last week, feeling a bit foody, I was making a recipe requiring sherry vinegar. After checking all over Richmond, Tsawwassen, and Ladner and coming up empty-handed I ducked into Superior on the off-chance. They had 3 varieties. They seem to have lots of off-the-mainstream deli items, as a previous reviewer mentioned. They probably deserve 5 stars - I haven't been there enough times yet. But I'll definitely keep going back.

If I was ever stranded on a dessert island, I could happily survive off of baguette, olive oil & balsamic vinegar. And avocados. And scotch. ... I suppose that's more "all inclusive" then camp/danger times but you get the gist: fancy condiments make me exceptionally gleeful. Hands down, my favourite "stumble upon" find of the year, this massively large, bright and almost industrial looking store is well worth making a dive off the highway when your ferry and/or Point Bob bound. Tsawwassen resident? You lucky bast*rd. Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar. I wasn't kidding. That's all they have. Save the one little table up front of soaps made from (you guessed it) olive oil and balsamic vinegar... They have oils and vinegars from over there and right around the corner. Virgin, cold pressed, international tasty times galore. Rows upon rows and tables upon tables of oils and vinegars with tiny tasting spouts, where you can taste to your hearts content, bread provided. I left exceptionally full. Highlights: Honey & Ginger white balsamic vinegar - light and sweet with a kick Blood Orange Olive Oil with Dark Chocolate balsamic. Oh dear god. All natural aged Tahitian vanilla balsamic paired with Chipotle olive oil. Sweet and spicy. Oh double dear god. Organic Tuscan Herb Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil - because... that's just fancy. But the one that won me wholeheartedly: All Natural Aged Cinnamon Pear Balsamic. This bad boy is sweet with a hint of that cinnamon spice. Perfectly balanced with the hit of vinegar. It's the balsamic that little baby salads one day hope to meet. On mixed greens with fresh blueberries? OH GOD. I can't even talk about how good it is with brie and baguette. It makes me tear up a little. And the price point? Super reasonable. I can't quite remember as I was suffering from happy overload at the time, but my bottle ran about $12. Which is significantly less then my last fancy condiment from Whole Foods. Go here. Just go.

The olive oils and balsamics are delicious. The owner is great at helping you find perfect pairings.read more

They're located in a small plaza next to a hair salon. We dropped in on a Saturday (around 1:00pm) and there was a small lineup outside. It's a tiny shop with limited selection. Service wasn't the friendliest but it's more of a grab and go spot. There are two small tables outside if you choose to linger. Small selection of pastries, bread and macarons along with a few drink options. 15 macaron flavours ($2.00 each) and two creative macarons ($3.00 each) were available. - Chocolate twist ($3.60) - J bought a twist to eat right away. I sampled a bite; flaky, buttery and fresh. - 6x Macarons ($12.00 for 6) - we opted for the passionfruit chocolate, earl grey chocolate, matcha, mango, pistachio and black currant. All sounded great but we wanted bolder, stronger flavours. Favourite of the bunch was the black currant. GM&F is a cute French pastry shop to check out if you're in the area. 3.5 stars.
