I've been shopping here for over a year. Not because I am a happy loyal customer, but because there is little else around.

Pros:
-open 24 hours
-decent selection of North American food
-great organic meat (when in stock)
-large organic section
-helpful staff who will often check the backroom if you ask them to

Cons:
-poorly marked aisles
-expired items
-rotten produce
-Chaotic cash out area... more

I have to rate the store 1 star because of my last issue with them. I purchased some fish from there fish dept. It was pre wrapped from the fresh fish section and in their cooler .When I got home the smell coming from the bag was unreal! The fish was bad, the date on the package was good and so it was back to the store to return it. I was told by the customer service girl to not buy the pre... more

The wife and I usually do are grocery shopping here. It's a little further from our place but, we feel it is worth it.

What's the point of having a 24hour store if there is literary NOTHING in it?!
I needed 4 things tonight:
1. Tomatoes: organic tomatoes all looked like they are from a supermarket on the walking dead show - old, squished, all over the place.
2. Taco kit: found that, it's normally located in 3-4 different spots all throughout the store, kinda like your own personal scavenger hunt.
3. Ground... more

I ordered a birthday cake and unfortunately there was a brown hair in it - And it didn't belong to me.

What birthday girl doesn't want that for her birthday? A Vanilla birthday Cake with custard cream and a nice piece of brown hair in it?

The manager said he would talk to his staff about my concern and thanked me for sharing my concerns with him.

Great... However, next year's birthday I'll... more

Decent variety, prices comparable to all other grocery stores.

My issues:
* Parking lot is mayhem (but spots are usually available)
* It is SOOO hard to find some products - some examples - corn meal is in multiple spots throughout the store (Mexican, baking, and somewhere else that made no sense so I forgot). Same goes for Lentils, molassas, and many other items I've looked for. It's sooooo... more

Best Sobeys and or grocery store in the city. Store very clean and staff extremely helpful. Check it out for yourself. Could use a few more cash registers though when it gets busy. Also when its busy the parking lot can be a nightmare. People don't know how to effectively navigate in and out. It takes some studying but once you learn how to navigate it gets a little better.

Although the selection at this Sobeys rivals that at many of the smaller stores, the check out lines are abysmal.

I'm not sure if they cashiers are unionized or what-- but even with every cashier open on a Saturday afternoon, there are lineups all the way back into the aisles. This makes shopping the front of the store nearly impossible and these cashiers are among the slowest I've ever seen.

A mixed review...

I really like this Sobeys, a clean environment, a good size pharmacy department, an in-house florist, baker, fish monger, deli, hot food counter and "butcher".

And by butcher, I mean "guy behind the meat counter". I usually get really good steaks here but yesterday was a meat fail. All of the NY strips under glass were cut really thin. I like mine 2 knuckles thick. A good... more

I like this Sobeys, switched to this one from the c@!p Sobeys at Kipling/Queensway. Produce is fantastic (considering the Food Terminal is right next door, better be!), and great selection in all departments.
Does get quite busy, I usually hit Sobeys on early Saturday or Sunday mornings to beat the rush (this is a 24 hour location)

This is one of the worst supermarkets in all of Toronto, and I have been to many supermarkets in Toronto. Prices are ridiculously expensive. Choices are limited and the service is poor. Sometimes the cashier lines could be 20 or more minutes long. Been there twice and even though I live right next door to it, will never be back.

This is my favorite of the big grocery store chains. The prices are not always the best, but the quality, cleanliness and variety make it not too bad compare to some of the other chains like No Frills.

Four stars because of their great customer service in handling a problem I had. A few weeks ago I was shopping and pushing a cart around the store. I went to lean over the side and as I pulled... more

Living in Swansea, we have two major grocery stores (and a number of mom and pop veggie and fruit marts). A combination of No Frills for packaged goods (for cheap) and Sobey's for better produce and cheaper meat (surprisingly) is what we do.

The Sobey's Supermarket is clean, which can't be said about many within the city. Customer service from the cashiers has been pleasant, and they are... more

This supermarket is at least as good as any other supermarket I've been to in Toronto, and it's better than any other option between dusk and dawn since it's 24hours and is much better than Metro. Now, like other places in Toronto that are technically open 24 hours, this isn't like a big city supermarket where the peripherals (bakery, seafood, etc) are also open past 8:00pm. So if you want to... more

Maybe it's because I mom worked at a Sobeys in my home town for 20 years or because I prefer grocery shopping at Loblaws and Metro, but I didn't find Sobeys any more expensive than my regular places.

This location is nice, but like with every Sobys it feels like it's missing something... like President's Choice items!!!

All kidding aside, this location had most of what I was looking for for... more

Not my usual shopping venue but I stopped here to pick something up on the way home. Very expensive, fancy displays and lots of takeout.

Staff was rude and the store at the time seemed full of yuppie female customers with their noses in the air who all rhymed with glitch.

Convenient location, convenient hours (24hrs) and great selection .... Not the cheapest .. You get what you pay for I guess ;-)

This is a really big, 24-hour Sobeys--so big they named this relatively new plaza after it. While I'm not always crazy about other Sobeys locations, mostly on account of price and selection, this one is pretty good, since the hugeness, general quality, and hours justify the typical Sobeys cost markup.

This Sobeys has many of the things you'd expect from a big supermarket, like butcher, deli... more

This is a kind of new Sobey's by the Harbourfront Complex. Smaller than what I assume is a typical Sobey's (I've never been in another one) and this one seems to be for people on the go as they emphasize fresh sushi and salads and also prepared meals over everything else. The rest of the aisles are probably mini versions of the regular store. Small aisles as a result and you will probably find... more

Food is good, service nice but it seems that every time I'm going there the stuff like pasta sauces keeps moving elsewhere! Understand that we often are returning to a groceries' store because we know where the stuff is located. March 2, 2008

We just have to praise you for the lovely store that you have on the Queensway. Without fail, the service is so nice to come across, everyone is friendly & helpful. Your meat department excels itself. Vince & his associates cannot do enough for us. We have asked for personal service on several occasions & received such kind & personal service. They deserve medals. We come to your store for the... more
