Fresh Picked

This market physically is wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately they also are hostile towards customers in wheelchairs. Additionally, like another review indicates, they are misrepresenting the prices and will not give an itemized receipt. THE POSITIVES: 1. The produce looks very fresh. 2. The shopping area outside the shop is wheelchair accessible. Also they have a nice ramp access with the door wide open. Im interested to see how they handle the entrance in the winter because I dont see an automatic door opener button. Without that, entering might be challenging, especially if the door opens outward. THE NEGATIVES: 1. A few minutes after I placed 2 packs of plums in my basket one employee called the cashier to come out to me. Immediately she took the basket from me and wanted to bring it inside. When I told her Im not finished choosing what Im planning to purchase, she decided to hold my basket and stand in front of me, watching me. I asked her why I cant have the shopping basket back to put more produce in it. She just stood there, holding my basket and staring at me. Other customers did not have anyone follow them, taking their baskets. I had to ask her for the 3rd time if I can have the basket back or does she expect me to get a 2nd basket for the rest of the produce I was purchasing. Eventually when I was ready to pay, came the financial "shady business". I purchased 2 items at $2.99 each. 1 at $5.99, and 2 at $3.50 each. Which should amount to aprox. $19. They charged me $32.20 When I requested the receipt, they only gave me the confirmation slip showing my bank approved the charge of $32.20. Most certainly I will never return to Fresh Picked. I do not appreciate having employees clearly treat me as if I was going to rush off with the $6 of produce in my basket, at the time they decided its acceptable to grab my shopping basket, stand directly in front of me (preventing me from moving), watching me at the cost of leaving the cash unattended. All while other customers freely shopped without scrutiny. Although physically this store is accessible, I can not in good conscience recommend them for anyone in a wheelchair. This type of surveillance of the only disabled customer, while the others freely fill their baskets without scrutiny, is beyond an acceptable. This was blatantly discriminatory behaviour.

Probably the best small market in the city imho The fresh cut up fruit in plastic containers is always so fresh everyone I’ve gone. These folks have a very high standard of food quality only putting out the ability freshest, sweet fruit. They offer Quebec strawberries and a huge selection of Asian non-alcoholic beers, sofas and soft drinks. A far cry from the inexpensive crap the Chinatown groceries sell yet this place is only about 10% more expensive than no frills . The food quality is worth every penny here…. Clerk Darren is wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help you

As many have commented they love to fiddle with the prices. I suggest anyone who goes here to always check the prices and the small bills. The cashier has a terrible attitude. If you are in a similar situation you must have the courage to get a refund. Very bad shopping experience.

Beautiful, clean supermarket with reasonable prices. Especially for the plants! The produce here were fresh and they also sell some exotic fruits here that I’ve never seen. I would love to come back again and check out more air plants.

amazing fresh fruit and vegetables selection choice, always well stocked and very kind staff! the location is also great. opens late, perfect for grabbing last minute items.

It is convenient. If you like browsing for the 1st time like I do for reviews and is 11pm I would suggest don't pick up produce outside to look at it and smell aroma of fruit. I did purchase a bag of produce and paid for it. Unfortunately had a horrific experience! Make sure you know what u are looking for. Never again

I bought mini blueberries here — they’re soft, chewy, and not sour at all. The peaches are crisp and refreshing, the strawberries are very flavorful and not sour, and the golden cherries have a perfect sweet-tart balance. Everything was incredibly delicious, and the prices were very reasonable.

Just like some people here mentioned that the cashier is tricking them when it comes to prices, I've had that too. They never give the receipt to me, I have to ask for it. Sometimes they don't give it when I ask. I also bought a protein bar and just noticed that it was expired 2 months ago. Unfortunately, I will not be returning here.

Awesome new Korean fresh produce and flowers shop in Queen West. This harkens back to the glory days on Queen Street when these types of shops dotted the scenery, then later killed off by Loblaws and other corporate competition. The front is the fresh fruit, produce and flowers and in the back there is an interesting mix of Asian foods and snacks. Each aisle is an adventure! Check it out when in the area.

BEWARE!! This place just opened and they're already scamming people. I went a few days ago and got a few items. My total was about $4 more than what I added up when I was grabbing stuff. I thought that was strange but figured I must have calculated wrong. I couldn't verify as they don't provide itemized receipts. But then I went back today and just got strawberries. It's advertised as 2 packs for $6 but I was charged $7.50. The math isn't adding up Definitely not going back here.
