Review from Robin D.

I like this neighbourhood. With metro a little west and a no frills across the street. Nice place to pick up some groceries especially if you need to get a prescription.
$8 dispensing fee.. and friendly staff. I think this is good as it gets. Sobeys is generally more expensive grocery store, but you can find some good sale items from time to time. -
Review from Elvis A.
This is a much larger Sobeys compared to the other offering serving this area. It is open 24 hours so kudos for that though I am guessing it is has its work cut out for it as the other 2 main chain stores are also 24 hours.
Selection is decent with my favorite being the meat counter as there are some deals to be had when they have specials on Beef items. Quality is pretty good as they do offer AAA cuts of meat. They have been accommodating in the past when I bought a whole fillet that was on special and had it cut to my liking for steaks (normally they won't do that if if you buy the whole fillet)
Seafood area is OK and has fresh seafood.
Now don't be surprised by the prices as they are high (hey its Sobeys after all)
I would recommend just signing up for the Sobeys card to get the aeroplan points (they have a 1 aeroplan for 2 Sobeys points earn ratio) and if you happen to have a credit card that gives extra points for shopping at grocery store you can double dip here :)
To tell you the truth I mainly come here to make Aeroplan Mileage runs (yes one can do that when they have the mouth watering 1000 points promos on some items) as they do sell out quick in the smaller Sobeys that is much closer to me.
Overall a decent store though it doesn't offer much extra in terms of variety or prices. -

The main draw of this store is that it's open 24 hours. It comes in super handy when I'm doing some late night baking and I realize I'm out of a key ingredient.
However, I don't do my day-to-day shopping here because I find the prices are too high (even with the few reductions my Club Sobey's card provides). Also, shockingly the produce selection is not as vast nor as fresh at the No Frills across the street! Who would have thought it?
They also sneakily don't put prices on all their flowers, meaning you get the fun surprise of how expensive they are at the cash (there is a convenience store two blocks west that sells better flowers for FAR cheaper). -

This nicely organized and super-clean grocery store has lots going for it: friendly helpful staff and prices that aren`t outrageous for a downtown location. There`s a very nice selection of slab cakes (we tried the $4.99 gooey and rich strawberry cream cake) and prepared foods. Street parking. Free valet parking with a $15 purchase somewhere (check the sign at the front of the store...we missed it!)
