K & K Foodliner Inc. — Local services in Greater Strathcona

God I love this place.

The service is always fast, friendly and knowledgeable. If you like Euro foods then this is where you want to shop.

Where to start? Sausage and meats. To die for. Fresh, tasty, great selection. Sliced to your liking, wrapped in paper as it should be. Pricey but wonderful none the less.

I wouldn’t return for a snack likely again, but I might come back if I’m ever after something special from the butcher. Nothing’s wrong with this place—it’s clearly a proper specialty shop—but it’s not quite what I was looking...

I have been a customer since both Krause brothers were around, and often in stores, before the location on 76th Ave was closed. It was the best ethnic German and European delicatessen in Edmonton. Over time, things changed - competition opened their stores, and K&K seem to stay behind a bit. I still shop there for my favourite coffee and cold cuts, but go to competitors for meat, cheese, bread, and variety of sweets. K&K does not seem to care for competition, and many items are overpriced, ending up expired and offered marked down. The comments from the concerned and loyal customers are brushed off. Yes, the store is great for special orders; the staff is always friendly and helpful, but K&K is not the best delicatessen in...
