Review from Lisa C.

Updated - 9/9/2011
I gave in and tried the hot/cold salad bar the other day. There's three different kinds of lettuce, at least 12 dressings, fruit, vegetables, various predone salads (like potato and pasta), cheese, bacon bits, the list goes on. The hot buffet had some interesting stuff but the only thing I took from this was the mini falafel to go on top of my salad instead of chicken. I filled my container up with mostly healthy veggies and a few other little things and headed to the counter. With a small bun, my small-mediumish salad and SMALL (note very small) bun came to $9.60 or something close to that. Luckily I wasn't starving, but at 1.99/100g, this bar can get very pricey if you don't pay attention to how much your container weighs.
I'd stay away from the hot/cold buffet and stick with their fresh made sandwiches.Listed in: Lunchtime In The Core

Picked up some cupcakes for a mini celebration. They were not good. tasted like they were made to last for months and they were probably there almost that timeframe. Shame since they have a large amount of fruits and vegis, I would think they would try to keep everything fresh. I guess not.

This is a really handy place to grab groceries when you're downtown and work in the area. It's right near my gym and right on the subway line, so it's often more convenient for me to drop in here to grab something rather than near where I live. It's also right near the Atrium LCBO if you need to pick up something to go with your food/groceries.
Quality of the fruit & veg is reasonable, and they often have deals; you can grab some stuff that's on its way out for very cheap as well, similar to many Loblaws.
Grocery section has a good range & variety of products for a store this size. Prices are sometimes a little more than you would normally pay, but for the convenience it's worth it.
There are large refridgerated sections with dairy/meat etc - good range of bottled juices and smoothies, and even some Yves veggie products.
At the back of the store is a salad and hot food buffet, so if you want something ready to go for lunch or dinner, it's all there. Quality seems okay, but this sort of thing can be pricey.
Service here is usually pretty prompt, but nobody is actually overly friendly. If you don't mind that, and a little steeper prices for necesseties, then you need to know about the hidden gem of Kitchen Table in the Atrium! -

Wow! So I started work in the Atrium on Bay in May and quickly discovered this place. It seems that they have a buffet hidden in there behind the boring looking grocery shelves.
I originally went in there in search of something off the shelves that I could heat up in my office cafeteria but quickly changed my mind when I smelled the delicious food on the buffet.
Not until today did I want to write a review about this place. I had their sweet and sour pork for the first time (I had never seen it on the buffet before today) and I am tempted to go back downstairs to get some more. This was literally sweet and sour both at the same time. It was the first time I had the pleasure of enjoying this taste.
The other item I always grab every time I'm in there is the meatballs. They are phenomenal.
They charge you based on how much food you take (by weight) so your never left over eating or getting too little for what your appetite desires.
This is by far my favorite place in AOB to get my lunch when I don't bring my own. -

Most terrible service I've ever had in a grocery store, metro and corner stores included. The cashiers were very blatant in their efforts and tone to get the line going. My cashier in particular resorted to loudly and impatiently repeating the amount I was to pay while I was sorting out cash. She even did the same to the old lady behind me, who was notably spooked. I think I'll go to Longo's instead from now on and pay the few cents more.
The selection of produce is decent, though missing price tags are a norm and there's no apparent isle labeling whatsoever. The produce seems to be fresh, but I can't really vouch for that since I've only bought so much from this store. I don't intend to buy much more.
The majority of the customers here seem to be office workers from the same building that come here for the hot lunch.
