2 reviews for Yummy Market
If you crave Russian or Ukrainian food, this place is an absolute must. It is the size of a small supermarket. The deli meat counter offers all varieties of wonderful sausages; the deli salad counter has all type of tasty morsels (I'm partial to the Armenian style eggplant - or baklazhan, as they say in Russian). The bakery offers a variety of homemade breads, rolls and pirozhky (yeast buns with savoury or sweet fillings) at very modest prices - all of exceptional quality. Frozen foods include a large variety of homemade soups and frozen berries. Additionally, the isles contain a wonderful assortment of teas, pickles (I love the Polish pattypan squash and the pickled garlic stalks), jams, bulk candies, cookies (try the Russian zephyrs - marshmallow concoction between a candy and a cookie), chocolates and more. Definitely a shopping highlight of North York.
Most of the help speak reasonably fluent English and unlike some locally run supermarkets, the checkers are very professional and extremely efficient. A counter in front of the store offers Russian pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and even birch branches (for beating your legs at the banya).
Okay, I nearly got taken down for photographing their deli counter but the manager gave me permission to post what I had took and she was real nice about it. I am constantly amazed every time I come here. I got some ukha soup again and some cherry perogies from their frozen section and I also bought a huge piece of white fish stuffed with a creamy lobster filling and topped with melted cheese...I'm not sure what kind of cheese but really, does it matter? It's cheese. Again, huge enough for at least two people and only around $8! Thank God this place is quite the trek from my house or I'd be as big as a house from eating here every day. I gotta say it again, I LOVE IT!
