The Big Carrot Danforth Community Market

I had a great buying experience at The Big Carrot Danforth Community Market! The variety of food options is impressive, especially with so many gluten-free and lactose-free choices available. While it’s a bit on the expensive side, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. I loved that they have a chart showing when fresh products arrive from each bakery, so you can grab items on their delivery day. Since I was staying nearby, I ended up buying most of my food here and was really satisfied with everything. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality products!

This store is convenient and staff are friendly. Useful for people who are vegan or who want gluten free food. Mostly all organic food here. I don't think it should be as expensive as it is. Their kiji juice boxes are 4.99 but at Walmart are 2.49..not everyone wants to shop at Walmart though.

Lovely humans, lovely produce, nice selection. The prices get me though. Sadly I can find lots for cheaper elsewhere. I fully support Indy businesses, but it's tough to only be able to afford the odd thing here and there.. And the rest of the time I'm buying from big stores anyway. Tough to know what choice does the most good when I can't afford to just go Indy organic stores all the time. If you're lucky enough to afford it, you'll likely be happy with what they offer.

Great experience, the freshness and quality. The variety and the quality. The amazing sections and employees. The great kitchen in soups and hot bar and ethnic dishes. I live far east, and I drive 40 km to Big Carrots in passion and enthusiasm.

Prices are surprisingly lower here than I can find elsewhere, and the selection is unbelievable. fresh produce quality is great, the burritos and deli food are delicious, and again costs less by weight than at Sobeys somehow. The green roof is pretty spectacular in spring/summer, and there's room to eat inside as well. Staff are wonderful, knowledgeable and go out of their way to make my visit a positive experience. Rather than putting my money in the pockets of Jeff Bezos or Galen Weston, I prefer to shop at the Big Carrot. They didn't gouge their customers with extra "inflation" to make record profits in the past few years. Also importantly to my values, the Big Carrot is Worker-Owned! The worker-owners run their own store like a co-operative with 'one-worker, one-vote'. Democracy in the workplace is so important, to me it points toward a better world. Truly a one of a kind place with everything I need, and I happily support them over the grocery giants.

I generally only come here for quality coffee beans so I didn't realize most of the "wellness" items had moved to an annex. Once there, the staff member was super helpful with finding an essential oil I liked! 5 stars well earned!

I have been a happy customer of this store for many many years. They have excellent organic products and great customer service. Prices are competitive as well. My go-to grocery store!

I've been coming to the BIG CARROT since the late 70"s. I remember buying my daughter's baby food amongst other goodies. It still has that friendly atmosphere today.
