Review from vic z.

I live around the area and this particular Longo's is definitely nice to have. The selection isn't too great mainly due to the small size of the store, however when I'm lazy and don't want to cook, it's nice to be able to simple head down and grab something ready. I love the chicken curry here, the oven baked chicken's nice as well.
From what I've seen, the produce is usually fresh (ALOT better than Metro's) and the staff is terrific for a downtown store. Again, it's a small store but has all the essentials. -

Went here 3 times for lunch last week, i really like it. The sandy's are cheap, filling and pretty tasty. The salad bar has a great selection. I particularly enjoy mixing the variety of salads with feta to make a monster quinoa, pasta and traditional greek.
Aside from the lunchtime items, Longo's has a really good selection as far as dt grocery stores are concerned. It's also not overpriced. I dig!Listed in: DT Grocery Store

Prior to this Longo's location opening, I had never stepped foot inside one. My regular grocery store is still Metro because they're open 24 hours and a much larger selection (plus I have a ton of Air Miles points LOL). However, when it comes to cooked foods, Longo's has them beat hands down. They have chicken, pizza and sushi specials during the week nights (haven't tried the wings yet) and it's excellent value and quality for your take home experience.
Most of my grocery needs are met at the Metro but there are a few things that are better quality here (the deli) and produce although prices at Longo's are either the same or a tad higher. The Longo's stores are nicer looking, cleaner and well stocked compared to most Metro stores and comparable to the upscale grocery stores in the downtown. I'd give this location a 3.5-4 star rating primarily due to it being bit on the small side so they tend to run out of the cooked things otherwise my rating would be higher. If there were no Metro in the area, it would be my primary choice. -

Although this is a small supermarket, it pretty much has all the essentials and great produce. It's also not as expensive as imagined a Longos downtown to be (it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the Metro on College and Yonge!).
My favourite part about this place is the manager of this place (at least I think he is). He's always hovering around the meat section asking people if they need help and giving advice on what cuts to choose and how to cook certain meats. He definitely makes it a welcoming place.
Make sure to check out their weekly special flyer and head on over, their sales are actually pretty good! -
Review from Vivek S.
Months later Longo's has become my go-to grocery shop -- besides the vastness of Chinatown. Their produce is fresh and rotates frequently. They have a good selection of organic and generally healthy options. They're also on the ball when it comes to Silk products (my favourite Soy milk) which I have a devil of a time finding in other stores. Still too expensive to become a favorite of mine, but I'm digging the quality of food and service here.
To anyone at Longo's reading: I will add another star to my review if you dismantle that ridiculous Starbucks kiosk.Listed in: Let's Cook At Home

Review from Michelle A.

I love this grocery store - it's a bit more expensive than your average store, but it's great for fresh produce, bulk nuts/snacks, fancy cheeses, fresh dips, and hot meals. They have a good salad bar that charges by weight - so be careful before tossing in those bulkier vegetables (tofu suprisingly light). It'd be a better lunch spot if they had more tables, or if it was located near a park - but if you work or live nearby, it's handy. There is also a Starbucks in the store, which is faster than the full location across the street.

Overpriced convenience. I pass by it 5 days a week walking home from work so I usually pick up here what I can't get @ lucky moose.

Can it be?! Their meat is not only fresher but possibly slightly cheaper than Metro?! I think so!
