Great food and AMAZING service! Employees are super helpful and friendly in every time I come here. Today the blonde young lady in the deli rushed out to help me at the cash cz I'm pregnant and holding a lot of stuff, she carried stuff with me and then put them in boxes instead of bags to make easier for me and then she carried the boxes to the car!

Edit: when I came today, I asked for pastries and the one who took the order I believe he's the owner or so, he took the order and left immediately. I stayed there waiting. An employee saw me, I thought he was coming and then he went to another customer. I thought that's ok he will come to me next, then he went to another one who came after me! Then he left and went to chat and laugh with his friend and I'm waiting! Super rude I stayed there waiting for over 5 mins, a lady (I think she's the owner's wife) came and asked if I needed help, her husband told her to help another customer cz I don't need help!

I literally felt uncomfortable ordering more or asking for something else cz I felt unwelcome and he...

Selection of ready food is medium but the quality is exceptional. I wish the prices for some of the items were a bit more affordable for the average consumer.

Some of the shelves were a bit empty for a Wednesday afternoon.

Overall, prices are high because of the import fees associated with bringing all the things in from Eastern Europe and Western Asia. I’ll definitely be back for some things in particular, or if I want to splurge on some nice (feta) cheese or olives, but otherwise it’s not worth the trip for me over other chain supermarkets.

Great selection of spices!!!!

If I had the time and money, I would shop here all the time. One of the biggest bonuses of places like this is usually fresh produce at a better price than supermarkets, something this was missing.

Staffing seemed a bit over the top for such a small place but at least there was always a friendly face to help you.

I think this place still has a lot of potential, but to the average BC Canadian it’s likely already an oasis compared to...
