Loblaws – Yonge Street

Great layout, beautiful market, nice selection. A little bit pricey but it’s within walking distance so I pay the diff for convenience, there is also an LCBO right upstairs from Loblaws so you get one stop shopping. If you’re in the store for fresh flowers — they always have a beautiful selection that’s not too expensive.

Ever since I’ve moved, I’ve started coming here more regularly and it’s made me appreciate the Bayview Village location so much more. This is a reliable location — it’s got all the basics and more, but it’s just always super crowded and not as convenient as I’d like. It’s usually well-​stocked and clean, but I’ve found it more tempting to shop at Whole Foods since that location opened last year. This Loblaws doesn’t carry much in the way of Kosher foods and NO Walden farms products and I often notice expired products on the shelves around the store and in the deli… and there’s often a funky smell coming from the Organics dairy case. Check your receipt carefully — I’ve been charged the wrong price for items on several occasions.

Great location and hours, early enough so that you can go there on your way to work and grab breakfast and late enough to beat the after work rush.
There is a wide selection of fresh fruits and vegetables including a section for organic produce. I also like the fact that they have a «healthy foods» section where you can purchase healthy staple items like quinoa, couscous, bulgar, etc.
I absolutely love Loblaws President’s Choice line because the quality is just as comparable as other name brands at a lower price.
They also offer baked rotisserie chicken, wedges, pizza in in their hot foods kitchen, a sushi bar prepared daily or you can grab a salad at their fresh salad bar if you ever need a quick affordable lunch.
If you’re a price oriented customer like me, don’t expect to find low prices here, however, they occasionally have sales throughout the week so you can save a few dollars OR you can always be the gutsy customer and bring flyers to do some price matching! Lol.
Parking is available and free as long as you spend minimum $ 10 for maximum 1 hour of shopping.
Overall, this is my go to grocery store because of the convenience and wide selection of healthy food products.

This Loblaws is convenient with self checkout, ttc access, and free underground parking if you spend $ 10 or more. It is usually always clean and has a great selection for all the essentials. The prices are more than your average No Frills but the food is also much fresher than No Frills. You do get what you pay for when it comes to food. I like the fact that they have Organic Produce which is a nice touch.
For those people who are in a hurry, they have ready made Sushi, pasta, and other items available. Dry cleaners and flower shops are downstairs if you need that too.
Look for the No Tax days which are awesome for savvy consumers!

Good location, good hours.
Loblaws is typically more expensive, but there is quality.
I love that I can really get everything here.
My favourite sections: organic, international foods, salad bar and the prepared food section.
There is always some reduced items for quick sale.
The staff are so GOOD! Every time I need something, every staff member I asked then went above and beyond and look at the back for me or tell when to come back.
The location is very convenient, perfect access to the subway and underground parking for drivers.
I like my local LOBLAWS.

Conveniently located on the Yonge-​University-​Spadina line at North York Center, this grand Loblaws has a wide range of products however the price is a bit steep to a certain extent. I’ve shopped here many times just for the fact that it’s on the subway line and it’s easily accessible through TTC so I don’t need to be climbing walls just to get home. I’ve bought a couple Recipe Riches from here and I love that they carry it because some of the recipes are honestly so good you can’t pass up! The North York Center overlooks the Loblaws superstore so you will notice above are people sitting down near the glass and there’s a Cineplex located on the top floor.
I like how they have a great selection in the Asian section which contains noodles, soups, foreign products and interesting finds. I’ve also seen the Clearance section be wedged together here as well. Not sure if that’s a reoccurring theme, but it works for me! Picked up some great corn end holder thingies for .90 cents lol! Anyhow, would definitely come to this location again.

Conveniently located fo sure, but dread this location especially during after work hours. Produce is either picked through or gone. Prices are generally higher than other Loblaws. Line ups are a pain. Generally try to avoid this place.
The self pay needs work. What part of «no» I’m not a PC member do u not understand that you keep having to ask me during the same transaction. Not cool.

When you did not think that the service could not get any worse … it does! I called head office to complain. And their response? They admitted that they have issues at that store! The staff ASSUME that because you have brought your own bag, YOU will pack your own … while trying to get the money to pay and someone behind you rushing you along with THEIR groceries to pack — who needs this pressure because people are too lazy to be doing their jobs?! Seriously! The store is shiny and gleaming and the experience ends in a bad, bad way at the cash register. The people working the checkout are miserable miserable miserable!!! You have to ASK how much (because they don’t tell you) and do NOT expect a thank you because you won’t get it. Honestly, I will avoid this place like the proverbial plague. If I could give it half a star, I would.

Easter chocolate not on sale the day after. Assholes.

this loblaws is the one pictured here:
ON WIKIPEDIA, SON! well we all know that must mean it’s the best.
(not actually. if you’re in the area, the one at bayview village, in my opinion, is much better:
)

I love this Loblaws location, it is convenient for me, and the veggies are always fresh and sexy looking, yes I just called veggies sexy! :)
What is different from this location to your typical grocery store is the fact that there is no ceiling, I know it sounds weird! You have to come see it to fully understand the concept.
The store is taking very good care of, it has a nice clean feel to it, whether or not it really is clean might be another question but as long as it looks it, I’ll go along with it.
The fruits and veggies are my favourite section in this store, they are always fresh and nice looking, unlike the Metro that is close by. They seem to actually care what they are trying to sell, a bonus star for fresh produce!

Hey, Loblaws at Empress Walk now carries Daiya Vegan «Cheese». Super happy about that. My organic food deliverer Wanigan is often out of it now. And when I went to Ambrosia Natural Foods they were all sold out! Another big plus, Daiya is Canadian made!

You know you have a problem when you choose where to live based on proximity to a certain grocery store.
I love everything about this Loblaws, they have great produce and an awesome selection of organic food. The prices seem to be a bit higher than other stores but there is usually a version of what you want on sale and the more pleasant shopping experience makes up for the price difference for me.
I also really like the self checkout. Since I tend to buy only a few things at a time, using the self checkout lets me get in and out of the store very quickly (when not stuck behind someone learning to use it for the first time).

If I had to compare Loblaws to any supermarket here in NY, it would have to be Fairway. Fairway meets Costco.
Tucked in the cellar of a movie theater and across the street from the City Centre (where my hotel Novotel was), Loblaws made me feel incredibly giddy with joy. Free samples of different food. Good lookin produce. Great candy isle. Smarties for instance come in all different size containers. Snagged their own bag of potato chips «President’s Choice» flavored Pia Pia or something — was the best chip I’ve had in a while. Hoping work sends me back up to North York again just to snag more! =D
What’s also cool is that bags are 5 cents, so bringing your own bag is great way to save the planet.

this has got to be the coolest supermarket I’ve ever been, hands down! Open concept (literally open, there’s no ceiling. If you are in the supermarket main area, you can look up and see three stories high), smack in the middle of the complex, it’s pretty sweet. I must confess I’ve has the urge to spit down from above on a few occasions. The actual grocery sections are well maintained. They are in the midst of renovations now. There’s the nifty self checkout for all those people like me who have a secret desire to be a supermarket cashier (no I’m being serious — childhood fantasy).
Anyway, just like most other Loblaws. Their fruits & veggies section is pretty good as well as their bakery. Parking I believe is free if you buy a certain amount of money, but you can only stay there for a certain period of time (i.e. can’t park there in the morning, go to work, buy some groceries and get free parking).
