Marcheleo’s Gourmet Marketplace

I love this place. It’s a small, clean, and unique grocery store — I say «unique» because they carry a wide variety of high-​end, organic, and gluten-​free products.
In the back, you can purchase to-​go coffees, dishes (pizza, samosas, etc), and desserts. The staff are incredibly knowledgable and friendly — and their butcher is simply awesome when it comes to advice on buying, dressing, or cooking the various meats available.
The only downside is it’s «regular» items are a little pricey compared to a normal grocery store (ie. their 4-​pack Oikos Greek Yogurt is 4.99 vs 3.99 at Sobey’s/Metro), but their sales are usually pretty good.

I walked in here with my 2 girlfriends to check out the store. The owner was in the store and gave us a tour. He advised they have meals prepared to their specifications for diabetics in mind plus overall the stock approach is for gourmet brands. My biggest surprise were the prices for the quality — definitely cheaper than Metro. Great place to shop!

Marcheleo’s is a small, modern, and super clean grocery store with extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. They carry a nice variety of organic, gluten-​free, and kosher products. They also have a nice selection of deli meats, organic fruits and vegetables, organic dairy products, pastas and other specialty food items. You can even choose from a variety of freshly made in-​house specialty gourmet food to go; their samosas are amazing and I like their all natural tandoori whole cooked chicken! In the back they have a nice espresso/​dessert bar. The espresso beverages here are fantastic– organic, smooth and delish! The desserts are really overpriced.
The prices here are higher compared to most grocery stores, but the sales here are really nice. Keep an eye out for their flyer (you can view this on their site). Also, they advertise their sales in the flyer before the sales even begin, which I think is weird.
Besides the higher price tag, the only other downfall I can find is that sometimes the products here are close to expiration date, especially the juice and organic milk. Also, this is not a one stop grocery store.
Overall, Marcheleo’s is a good and pricey grocery store and they throw great sales that keeps me coming back.

The store is quite small and the selection isn’t enough for it to be a one stop grocery stop. I usually look at the flyer and buy what’s on sale that I would normally buy.
The staff is super friendly and more than willing to work with you if you need something.

Great organic food store with great selection. Friendly staff and the owner is committed to organic products and buys a lot of local too. They keep the prices within reason and are not making such a big mark-​up as other supposedly ‘organic and local’ stores.

Awesome prices and lots of organic selections! Weekly special is great — Got organic peanut butter on sale at only $ 3.99!!! and almond milk $ 2.99!!! Amazing!!!

Good place with quality fresh meat and other food items. Sometimes very pricey, but if there is a deal going on, you are better off buying here than at the Metro nearby. For example, they had a deal on chicken breast (boneless) and the rates were FAR superior to even Costco’s rates, and the quality was better.
Excellent fresh salad dressings.
Extremely nice staff, and sometimes they give you good quality shopping bags free as well.
May not a your one-​stop-​shop grocery store, but for some quality items, definitely on my agenda now.

This place has disappointed me since my 5-​star review, hence the updated review.
The flyer is confusing. They may have a flyer out but it may not be valid. They only run a flyer bi-​weekly so any deals you read about probably aren’t valid when you read it in-​store. Odd. Sometimes they’ll have great deals on in the flyer and sometimes nothing good.
They were completely out of organic cream of all sizes and only had a gigantic generic brand of cream when I went. That was disappointing. I’m one person and will not be consuming a litre of cream within 2 weeks.
I also bought Beyond Coconut Water… I’ve never tried this brand before but it was $ 2.50 and tasted extremely rancid. Not sure if that’s just this brand or if it wasn’t stored properly. I’ve gotten milk that was sour before but they rectified that problem. I didn’t bother with the Beyond Coconut water because it was so bad I dumped it, though on second thought I probably should’ve brought it back, but honestly, I don’t want every other visit to that store being about bringing something rancid/​sour back to get $ 2 refunded. Sour/​rancid products shouldn’t be a problem.
It’s better to go when there’s a flyer actually running otherwise there’s some serious price gouging going on here for most of the items, though some are fairly priced.
Mostly everyone is still friendly. See my previous review to read all the great things about them.

A friend refered me to this little gem of a food emporium which recently opened in the very trendy neighbourhood of Yonge and Eglinton. What a delight. Tucked away just east of Yonge it is a hard to spot to find, but once you find it I doubt you will want to shop anywhere else.
The store is clean, bright and has one of the largest selections of organic and healthy choices for today’s shopper. All my favourite products were there as well as some items never seen before. Items like gourmet pasta, prepared soups and a lovely selection of fine teas. The only item I didn’t see was kefir which staff assured me they would order. Speaking of staff, employees and management are visible and helpful which is a real plus. Prices are comparable or better to Carrot Common or Tutti Frutti in Kensington and the selection is far better.
But the real surprise was the prepared food! You can choose from a wide array of foods to take home like sheppards pie (best I’ve ever tasted!), lamb shank, and a wonderful home made pizza that they make in their wood burning ovens. Did I mention they have a capuccino maker so you can enjoy a coffee while you shop? Perfect place to stop for some food on your way home from work.
But don’t shortchange yourself and only stop in for the dinner — this place is your one stop food place. It’s a farmers market, a gourmet food store and bistro all in one!
