Longo’s

I often go here to get groceries and this place got some freshest produce and fruits than Metro and its competitors, in my honest opinion. Lots of organic products. It is definitely a cut above the rest with great variety and selection. Good to see this place is offering beers. When LCBO (next door) closes at 9 pm, go here to get your booze.
This supermarket is well lit and spacious aisles which makes it a great shopping experience. Not to mention they’ve got Starbucks, Sushi station, Pizza and food station. Staff here are very friendly and professional. Big thumbs up! Parking is a disaster on the weekend. Frustrating! Avoid weekends if you have to. Also I have to mention that there’s plenty of cashiers to ensure the wait in line is never long.

Even some of the products are a little bit pricy but the quality definitely worth the cost.
The cheesecake and strawberry shortcake are highly recommended. The cheesecake comes with a lot of fresh fruit which is awesome all the time
The strawberry shortcake 7″ made with real cream with two layers of cream and one layer of fresh strawberry inside. I like the fluffy cream taste and it’s not that sweet compared to others, very good for Asian people’s taste.
right, their pulled pork sandwich in the Deli area is also very good with a big portion of meat.

if every grocery store had their people lay grapes with that enthusiasm we would eat more fruit! plus very helpful fellow who accomodated a special request. Glad I stopped on way through town.

I just finished shopping at Longos and the cashier was so helpful, that when she asked me if I was able to find everything I needed and answered no, she actually left her register and got the product that I was unable to find. What great customer service, and all this was done with a smile. Way to go Longos!

I like Longo’s, I come here every now and then. It is a little out of the way for me and living beside a Loblaw’s especially makes it less convenient for me or maybe lazy? Anyway…
The parking lot is always busy, it’s like a race for who can park and get in the store first, should also be careful of the crazy drivers, they will come at you every which way!
They usually have a good selection of fruits and veggies and a pretty decent meat section. Although I do find their meat to be a bit overpriced for what it is…
There is usually never a line to leave, so it makes it a good place to stop and pick up whatever items you need and go without having to wait all night.
Sometimes you can find good things on the clearance rack as well! Keep your eyes on the lookout for a good steal!

This is hands-​down my favorite local grocery — they stock everything we need for my gluten-​free diet, with an abundance of local produce at very reasonable prices.
People here think it’s expensive, however, I do find it consistently cheaper than Metro, which in my opinion, is a frustrating place to shop, with an unreliable produce selection and a weird penchant for bulk sizing. I’m sure it would be cheaper to shop at Superstore or Food Basics, but to me it’s with a few bucks to support a store that obviously has good management and a commitment to healthy food. Not only does the local stuff (esp. apples and squash!) taste and look better, but it’s nice to be able to support local agriculture with ease.
Not only do we find all that we need here, but often we see something that inspires us to try something new. We appreciate these little touches that make the store feel good and come at very little extra cost to us.

me love longo’s long time.
came in 5 minutes before closing. employees were just as helpful as ever. despite the day-​end mad cleanup routine, i was asked by 2 employees if i needed any help. one kind employee lifted some awkward cases of sparkling water into my cart for me and spared me the inevitable following-​day screaming from my back. and, another kind employee walked me and my cart out so he could load the sparkling water cases into my car for me. it was raining, and without having to be asked, he retrieved an umbrella from the office to shield me from the downpour.
i’ve never had such royal treatment from any grocery store. i’m tempted to say that the sometimes 30% markup at longo’s is almost worth it to receive this red carpet treatment. i guess sometimes it’s true: you get what you pay for.

Produce is always fresh and very clean! I order to shop here and spend a few more dollars on quality however it is pricy. Their hot food selection is great and nice to take home instead of cooking once and a while. Also not cheap but it is all «home made» with no additives. The matzo ball soup is pretty close to moms and great for these cold days at work.
The Starbucks inside is a great addition however they are still training the staff and they have messed up my drinks once and a while but we are all human!

This Longos at York Mills and Leslie has the BEST service of any I have been to. Yes, it has great produce and everything is fresh. But many markets can say that. What stands out in my personal experience is the service. Here are a few examples:
1. It was raining one day and there was staff member walking customers to their cars with an umbrella!!! Kept me dry and I was blown away. Who does that? Kudos!
2. Requesting a product I did not see on shelf. In this case wasabi cashews. Spoke with someone and it was there within 2 weeks.
3. Family friendly activities — drawing contest and activities for kids everyone once in a while. My daughter loves it even when she doesn’t win.
With the new renovations/​updates the store now looks beautiful. It is a pleasure to shop there.
My one complaint — which is not Longo’s fault, well maybe it is because it is such a popular supermarket, is the parking lot. It is always full and drivers are not very considerate, racing for an empty spot.

I am not often in this neighbourhood but was very impressed by the big selection and competitive prices at this Longo’s supermarket. Many things I can’t usually find or didn’t even know they existed were here. If I’m in the area, I will definitely shop here again.

I don’t live particularly close to this Longo’s but I do make a point of visiting every time I’m in the vicinity.
First of all the store is huge and offer a great variety of almost anything you make be looking for (though they don’t carry matches!!). Second the produce and meats are consistently fresh and everything seems to be appropriately stocked (I.e. store obvs has good management).
Finally, I actually like the options at the food counter here! The stuffed pizza is recommended!

Ok, so their chicken wasn’t so great in my last review. I had to update it because I went there today, looking for Gardein products & other veg friendly products & found them all at this location. So I’m pretty happy about that. Though the tofu noodles were a bit pricey. I’ll have to see where I can get it cheaper!

I audit grocery stores as my side job and I have to say that this Longo’s definitely sticks out whilst doing my audits. They have lots of clerks working and constantly shelving and lining up products and they are really helpful and leave their aisle when the have to assist customers find stuff.
I am especially impressed with the variety of health foods they have at this Longo’s. Their fruits and vegetable section is amazing, they have the organic versions of practically everything, they have everything, even the rare stuff like fiddle sticks, orkas, white asparagus and yellow tomatoes. I went just a few days ago (beginning of summer) and none of the other grocery stores have this stuff out right now. It all looks fresh too.
I also saw a huge variety of ice cream products including a handful of soya milk ice cream products. I am also impressed with the variety of fresh meats from veal to freshly made sausages. Grocery stores like this make the grocery experience constantly interesting.

This is my Longo’s, bitches!
This Longo’s is on my way home from work. I was going to have to start eating dust bunnies if I didn’t get some groceries tonight. I love how this Longo’s has a civilized parking lot (has one way signs to keep the traffic flowing in front of the store), and civilized customers. Never have I had to give someone the stink eye or call them a friendly name under my breath. That is right people — no pushy cart people wanting to run you down. Plus, the staff here — hello — they rock! I have had the cart chaser staff come and take my cart from me after I loaded up my car. Plus every cashier I have had the pleasure of chatting with is super friendly.
Now…back to the reason why I go here — to stock up y’all! Tonight… oh tonight… a night that will live in my mind forever… Longo’s had… get this…20 muther-​flocking different kinds of apples! Yes, 20. I stood in the apple aisle and rubbed my eyes. Had Christmas come early for Shari?! Oh yes it had! Decisions, decisions, decisions. As much as I wanted to knock a few to the ground and roll around in my own apple land (yes there would be oompa loompas there to sing and dance), I held my composure and decided on purchasing some honey crisp apples. What made me decide? Honestly, they all looked good, but the princess in me liked them the best because they were the shiniest. I know — how a true foodie should shop.
Longo’s has the best selection of fruits and vegs for a regular grocery store. If you want better produce — go to St. Lawrence Market or Whole Foods. If you need to buy shit-​tickets, milk and fruit — this is your place.
Another thing that I love about Longo’s is their trays you can order. A couple of month’s ago I ordered a huge fruit tray for a bridal shower. It was such a hit at the party. When I picked it up from Longo’s…oh yes… there was an offer to help me carry it to my car! I was surprised and thrilled by the offer, but I was good to carry the fruit solo.
I think this will be a review that I update regularly… I do love this store!
Oh — I almost forgot!!! Because I have a Longo’s points card, I got a free reusable grocery bag today! Wow! If you want to purchase good reusable grocery bags, Longo’s has insulated ones that you can zip up. Highly recommend.
