Sunterra Marketplace

I like the pre-​made food here. They serve food that tastes healthy and fresh, although it is on the salty side. Also, I like that their daily specials are different every day which indicates that it’s being made fresh daily. I’ve never felt sick after eating their food, nor do I feel dizzy (a sign of food additives), it’s just a bit too salty (if any employees from Sunterra reads this please pass on this feedback) and therefore lethal to people with high blood pressure. If they adjusted the salt levels, I would give five stars. I feel that I’m eating real food and not processed crap that most franchised eateries serve.

Sunterra has a mouth watering deli and bistro. The daily soups and specials are worth checking out. Bright and open eating area makes for a enjoyable lunch. I have gone back multiple times.

Sunterra kitchen cooks the best soups in Edmonton.
Best place to go and have a hearty warm lunch or brunch or dinner. There’s always something new cooking at Sunterra.
After you eat you can load up on all the goodies and bring them home with you!
Really love their homemade ranch dressing.

This is a boutique grocery store that is close to my place and I am so happy to have it close by. It isn’t my everyday grocery store as I can get many of the same items much more cheap at other grocery stores.
They do set themselves apart though in the quality of some of their produce, meats and prepared foods. They also focus on local organic ingredients as much as possible.
Some of their items are very reasonable though such as their fully cooked chickens and prepared meals. You can also find high quality items and since the store isn’t that big a shopping trip doesn’t take as long as you don’t have to navigate a huge store with dozens and dozens of aisles.
One of my favourite things from Sunterra is their deep dish pumpkin pie with ginger whipped cream. It is freaking awesome stuff! Did I mention their great bakery? They also usually have a few gluten-​free bakery items to choose from.
If you haven’t been to Sunterra you should really come in check it out. You may find some great things here.

The people who work there are not super helpful and the selection is better at Planet Organic. However, they have a few delicious flavours of dairy-​free ice cream. Lemon and Mango/​Pineapple are the best :)

I found Sunterra Market last summer and have since had a smile plastered across my face just thinking about it. It’s a touch pricey, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m a big believer in supporting anything that is unique or local. Sunterra is both!
They have a wide selection of ready made foods, everything from chicken breast, quinoa salad and green onion cakes to fresh salads, fruit cups and a daily menu of interesting foods to sit down with! Some of the menu items are a total bust, I’m not interested in sugar coating it, but others are an amazing find. The soups are crazy delicious, and breakfast is always my favourite.
They deliver a small town feel, tucked away in a nowhere strip mall, standing their own against the big chains and franchises. The summer-​time is a great selection of fresh veg and fruit, amazing meat selection, bread selection and a dessert section you’ll be hard pressed to walk by without buying a treat or two… Nobody said anything about sharing right?
Oh! And don’t pass up the weird stuff… The bottled drinks are amazing. Dandelion or burdock tea? Go for it! Be sure to get a store card and rack those points up! I’ve cashed them in several times, mmmm.

Slightly pricey, but their deli with an assortment of prepared foods (prepared fresh in store) is super convenient. Their Friday Night feasts are also a great idea, a different 3 course meal each week, packaged up and just needs to be reheated. I find the high prices can be offset with the Sunterra card points, which I actually redeem at their commerce place location for lunch. The employees are also friendly, and I actually really enjoy their selection of condiments. I don’t mind paying the price for those, especially the Blue Kettle brand.

Great market. High quality foods and nice selection of fresh made take home meals and salads.

Excellent quality, but mostly is not organic, I would hold a health food store above conventional food. However they do have some very unique good products. The prepared foods are reasonably priced for what they are, you know they are doing to be fresh and taste good. The deli area has good prepared food that is fresh and tasty.
Prices are high and you could by organic elsewhere for the premium prices they charge for conventionals.
Many gourmet products are there to choose from. I bought some Bison prosciutto that was amazing and the pies were reasonably priced. It would be good to pay attention to what you are buying to make sure you are getting good value as some items are less competitive than others.
If you don’t care about organics and price isn’t a concern and like prepared and gourmet foods than this is a a good fit for those customers.

I enjoy coming to this place for lunch. I haven’t been here for dinner yet but would love to try it. Its like a grocery store and restaurant all mixed in one. Hot stuff, cold stuff, anything. They have special everyday, different pastas. If youre looking for healthy options this is the place to go. I always get the chicken breast and mash potatoes. The chicken is made fresh there and all you got to is warm it up in the microwave, which they have. and youre set. You can also get fresh fruit cups, veggies, salads to go as a snack. There are tables set up there, so its a quick lunch if you’re in a rush. while you’re there you can also grocery shop. I haven’t been there for dinner yet as I mentioned but I have been there for brunch and they had this really good, Brie cheese, pear and bagel sandwich so good! They have coffee and pasties if you just want a snack. The baklava there is so good. I’d recommend this place for lunch!

Loving a good market and fresh eats, my husband and I just landed on Sunterra two weeks ago. There are so many fresh options and dishes made from scratch. We love that the meat comes from their own farm, and last nights steaks were great.
There is a great selection of condiments and side dishes, fruits and veggies, home style cooking, eat in or take home.
Last nights blueberry pie was perfect (just like gram makes back east). Last weeks brownie and chocolate moose were delicious!
Servers have been friendly and attentive on each visit.
I’m sure we will find ourselves back here again soon. Not your lowest price option, but for the most part, it’s been worth it!

Ok, ok, it’s a little pricey but some how, worth it. I find that the quality of the produce, deli and meat department are really excellent. I love that in the deli department there are so many delicious, unique and varied options of pre-​made salads, etc. The cheese selection is excellent. I love all the super yummy gourmet sauces, crackers, oils, vinegars and other culinary treats that are found up and down the isles. And unlike large grocery stores you can can find everything you are looking for (and more) very quickly and easily because the store is small, filled only with quality foods, no processed, sugar filled U.S. boxed items that are chemically engineered and utterly lacking in nutrients.
Sunterra is easily accessible from the Whytmud, with lots of parking and going «green» seems to be quite important to them. They also source quite a lot from local farms and ranchers. There is a little café in the market so you can pop in and buy something from the deli and have lunch or dinner. The only thing that I find can be somewhat of a problem is that sometimes they have inexperienced people working in the deli. So, you have to be patient and wait.

I like it here. Inside you’ll find a pretty sound grocery store. However, I tend to come here once a week for lunch. Unfortunately, there a number of things on the menu that seem too salty. This includes things like the Big Pans and Paninis. However, there are things I love in the store. This includes the deserts and the cut fruit. My favourite has to be the quinoa salad. It’s a little on the sweeter side, but really appeals to me. The prices reasonable here, which is why I am a weekly visitor. I would recommend this place as an excellent grab and go option.

I remember going to Sunterra market downtown at Manulife place for lunch back in highschool, buying their freshly baked cookies, or pizza’s or even their sandwiches or wraps that they make there. What i always would get is a box of salad at the salad bar were you can make it by yourself and have what ever you desire. This was also the place where i discovered vitamin water, cause it was the first store ive seen that carried it, even gas stations or convieniece stores didnt have them at the time.
But my recent visit at this location i grabbed a bbq chicken wrap which cost about $ 5, it was fairly big, i got pretty full off of it. and i also got their freshly made juice for 2. i wanted a smoothie that i gotten before but i guess they didnt have any.
More about this store is that its very unique. i havent been here during lunch hours where they serve food from the kitchen. You will find drinks you havent seen before like cream soda root beer, which i need to try, and a fine selection of chocolates which i also need to try.

I’m always coming out of Sunterra Market buying more than what I came there for. Although the food there is a bit pricier than the average market, I don’t mind spending that extra little bit.
.
There are so many specialty items that can only be found at Sunterra. Their fresh made meals are delicious as always. Their deli is exceptional. The meats are always fresh. They last in my fridge a week longer and taste far better than the deli meats I buy from Safeway, Save-​on Foods, Sobey’s, etc.
The produce section is always fully stoked with rare items. Almost every time I visit the Italian market, Safeway, and the larger stores they are out of fresh herbs; but, not at Sunterra. I can always find fresh basil, cilantro, sage… the list goes on.
I am in love with the aged-​white cheddar and black olive sourdough bread and suggest that everyone try it. Their fresh bread makes great sandwiches and croutons. However, out of the six times I’ve visited, I’ve only been able to find this bread once. My only suggestion is to make more of this bread and more often.
The workers at Sunterra are usually quite friendly.
I suggest everyone check out Sunterra at least once. Sure you’ll be spending more money, but it’ll be worth every penny you spend.
It’s also a plus that it is a locally owned business. It makes me feel good that I’m supporting our economy rather than the large, private corporations.

This has got to be my favorite grocery store in the city. The produce is always amazing and Sunterra definitely has the best meat counter! The cuts always look fresh plus they will give you ideas to enhance the product (for example wrap bacon around the Santa Fe chicken breast to add another dimension of flavor — awesome and I would never thought of that!). Also, if you ask they’ll tell you the best way to cook the meat and how long, always great to know especially if you’re like me and do not enjoy anything overcooked!
I could really go on about every counter and aspect of the store but to keep this review from going too long, I’ll summarize it with that this place is the bee’s knees!

I had lunch at their Bistro as my better half did her grocery shopping. An excellent brie and ham panini with a side of delicious black bean soup. The food was exceptionally tasty and surprisingly good value for $ 8-​ish. I found they had an excellent selection of other treats to nibble in the café area.
Can’t say I tried the coffee or anything else. As far as a supermarket goes, there are many neat little treats and exotic delicacies. I wish I had taken a photo. Their desert selection was wonderful and enough to give Mr. Atkins a cardiac arrest or inspire those on diets to consider capital crimes.
Definitely will stop by again on my way south on 111^th! Very convenient, fresh, and the staff were most kind!

Sunterra is a true gem of a grocery store. I wish I was shopping here more often. Firstly, it’s a co-​op grocery store in that it is made up of the owners of Sunterra farms, a group of individually run farms around parts of Alberta.
While they offer high quality meat and foul that are locally grown and humanely treated, they also have a pretty decent spread of vegetables and dairy that are invariably of local origins. When it comes to their meat it really does something to my taste buds. You can feel like you’re eating healthier food — trust me!
They are a complete grocery store. I believe you could find almost anything that you might need from a grocery store (and yes, I don’t consider tylenol pills to be part of that list). A weird and different selection of jams and jellies. Very European in feel, when it comes to cookies, crackers etc. Certainly has that speciality store feel to it, yet maintaining affordable prices that get people to come here again and again.
Their cheese choices and fresh/​baked foods is also quite inviting. I’ve in fact got bread, cheese, deli meats and even packed lasagna once and have enjoyed all of them. Often times I’d pick up a coffee at their coffee bar before setting out on my aisling escapade.
I agree with other reviews that Sunterra is a little more expensive, but to consider that they’re sort of half-​way between a Save On and a Planet Organic, and carry that fresh Californian feel to their store — I think it’s totally worth the price. But then again, I am someone who would spend the extra bucks for better quality food and to support localness.

I’ve decided that excellent food is something worth spending my hard-​earned money on, and Sunterra has everything that I’m looking for, even though it’s not always cheap.
Although this little grocery isn’t as large as the nearest Safeway or Save-​On, it has everything I’m looking for. It even carries a lot of brands and products that other groceries don’t, because the companies are smaller.
I try not to eat meat too frequently, but I feel better knowing that the meat carried here is locally raised and transported. This is not factory farm style eats.
I love the deli here, too. Last time, I picked up a maple yam salad. It was so delicious! Fiancé picked up a sandwich that he enjoyed too.
Fantastic fruit and veggies that aren’t oversized from hormones, friendly staff, delicious chocolate chip cookies. It doesn’t get better than this!

I am glad to see high quality non super sized grocer’s in Edmonton.
You may not find value, but you will find an interesting selection and good quality. They have a butcher, bakery and deli counter.
If you are looking for lunch or a take away meal, they serve great hot and packaged food at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend their soup of the day. Seating is limited and they fill up quickly at lunch.
