Yummy Market

Been going there for years. Excellent deli, deserts are a good as any and better than most. Best smoked salmon,anywhere in the GTA, with 3-4 different types. Good choice of caviars. Cheeses as well from French - Baltic & good prices. Their, produce is top quality & prices better then most supermarkets in the GTA. If you like real jams,with fruit in them, I recommend the Russian strawberry,cherry, Corsican orange or clementine & other east European one. Beef & Pork ribs are good. Other meats not a strong point.

Everything here is outstanding and it all looks delicious and fresh and wonderful. It's like a heavenly Haven for Slavic food and desserts and drinks and treats. I want to come here all the time.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time I’ve purchased from this store and received spoiled fruit. I don’t have time to return them either. The quality control has significantly declined compared to before, and such cases have become more frequent. As someone who has been shopping at this store for many years, I feel it’s my responsibility to share this feedback — and if I encounter a similar issue again, I will stop buying from this store. I hope this matter will be addressed accordingly

We live near Shepherd and Allen Road and had never been to this jem of a grocery place. this is a rare market where you can get all types of groceries. You can get bakery you can get desserts. you can get meat. you can get fruits. overall, this grocery store has all the items as a coppa fresh or a Walmart would have. This was our first time overall our experience was very nice. We will definitely visit again for our groceries.

Amazing place for shopping Great Russian and Ukrainian meals

Must visit! This place is a gem for anyone who loves Eastern European food and products! The shelves are packed with authentic goods, and the selection is amazing. There are also fresh organic fruits and vegetables. I stop by probably twice a month because the food is not only delicious but also super affordable. If you’re into Eastern European cuisine or just looking for something new, this is the store to visit

This is one of the best stores which helped us through the pandemic times! They have amazing choice of prepared food, don’t miss to bring home several prepared dishes over the weekend, you’ll love them for a great weekend feast, or later in the week, when you need quick and deliciously prepared meal! They also have fabulous section with sweet delicacies, check them out for your special occasions! And finally we always visit deli section with a great selection which is also better priced than your local store, you have to stock up here, especially if you are preparing charcuterie board for a nice weekend evening at home. They also hold amazing selection of European food, that you won’t find anywhere else. Prices are also in a good range, although I always love a good discount! Don’t expect to buy here box of cereal or bag of “ordinary” bread, this is not a place for that. But if you need European Sparkling water or some special sweet treat, this is the place to be! Great job, Yummy Market!

Amazing eastern european bakery with a large variety of products you might not find elsewhere. A great bakery with good savoury items and sweet pastries. Lots of smoke fish. Great place to get frozen cheesecake/quark bars with a ton of variety. Overall the employees here were really nice and willing to answer questions. I do think some of the savoury baked pastries were a tad bit overpriced for the amount of filling.

A shopping trip into European, Baltic and Central Asian paradise. It's astoundingly good. After shopping, I used their (spotlessly clean) "coffee machine" today for a flat white. $3.60. Was expecting the taste to reflect the price. It was better than just acceptable - it was respectable! Who knew! When last did you have a flat white for $3.60!?

This is the best yummy market location out of the two! Staff is always friendly and if you ask them, they always suggest something really yummy and tasty. This store is smaller than the maple location, but it feels very well organized and is always kept nice and clean Lots of free parking in front of the store

Yummy Market does not stand behind the products that it sells. If it turns out to be bad at the point of sale, then they do not offer a refund. Instead they point at their 7 day returns policy and say no return. I purchased four blocks of Hewitt's Goat Butter from Yummy Market on the last day of February 2025. It clearly says on the wrapper to "keep frozen until use". Despite this instruction, Yummy Market keeps the product in an open refrigerator. It turns out that one of the four blocks I purchased was bad. But I did not realize this until I was ready to use the goat butter about 2.5 months later. I rode my bicycle to Yummy Market yesterday to return the bad block of butter, with the receipt. Unfortunately though, it was after 7 days so Yummys Market did not accept the return. This policy tells me that Yummy Market, a grocery store, does not stand behind its product. If the product is bad when they sell it to the end-consumer, then it is the end-consumer that foots the expense, when it should be the grocery store. Very poor service and policy. I do not recommend Yummys Market. After purchasing the product, I place the goat butter in my pannier, then cycle for about 20 minute to get home (it is cold the end of February, so very low risk the goat butter goes bad) and then I put the product directly in the freezer. The butter remains in the freezer until a few days before I am ready to use it, at which point I transfer it from freezer to fridge. I mention this because I am very confident in saying that this block of butter was already bad when I purchased it. I'll say again, I do not recommend Yummy Market. They do not stand behind the products that they sell.

Very pricey but never busy, vip store for yourself and you actually find rare goods that you do not see no where else

I can recommend this market to people who love russian culture.When I first entered the store immediately felt the cultures of the CIS countries and besides rhe delicious food you will be surprised by the politeness of the staff.If you came to this wonderful place ,I advise you to definitely try food from Russian culture.I am from the CIS and I can say that the most delicious food are here.And the most important thing is that the store is very clean and the food is also neatly arranged on the shelves,which shows the professionalism of the staff.I give 10/10 to the Yummy market

Purchased cream on Oct 3rd that had a November expiry date. By Saturday cream had spoiled went to return it and they wouldn't take it back. Another example of the poor customer service from this store

I sopped in the Yammy Marked (Finch & Dufferin) on April, 27. After making a payment I started packing the purchases while one of the staff members suddenly approached me, and without saying pardon asked me whether I payed for the goods then she demanded to exhibit the corresponding bill. I sowed her the bill and asked whether there was something wrong. No answer and no excuse. What an insolence!!! Shlomo Tiunov, PhD

OVERLY SALTED PREPARED FOOD AND BITTER STAFF For example the expensive cabbage rolls were sodium saturated and inedible. They went into the compost bin. Other hot prepared items were equally oversalted. They too, were inedible. Eventual response from management....they could care less.

Disgusting! Lots Worms! It said the packing date is Sep 21 3018 and best before March 2019. I purchased on Oct 3rd 2018. We ate so many pieces. And then found there are so many worms inside! So disgusting!! We have eaten some worms! Very disappointed with Yummy market! Will never go there any more. I bet they put fake label, especially packing date on their products, foods!! Don't trust this market!!! Please check your products before take it, please!!

The best place to go for Eastern European groceries! Absolutely fantastic variety of nostalgic items. The kitchen in the shop is also very good and high quality. Yummy Market is a little slice of home in Toronto. Absolutely love it

Looking for Ukrainian food, the stuff you've got used to buy in Silpo / Tavria? Look no further - this is it. Kyiv cake, Rochen candies, cabbage caviar and more.

Yummy market a very interesting European food experience. There is an aisle with loose candies from Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Poland, Germany... They even have the Mozart candies (Mozartkugel). Check it out if you like pistachio and marzipan. There is a yummy cafe located near the exit with lots of yummy gelato.

Visiting Yummy Market is really a cultural experience!! I still cannot get over the buckets of marinated fishes!! I can understand about pickled veggies but a whole fish?? Now I am going to ask my Russian coworkers how they eat those?! They just looks super fishy! There are so many different products which I never see before.. all in Russian which I have no idea what they are...and all those loose candies... As a non Europeans/Russians/Ukrainians, I looked lost and stood out like a sore thumb.. But it proves how authentic Yummy Market is!!

Loved this international foods grocery store. They have a great variety of smoked fish, pickles, chocolates and cookies, that are otherwise hard to find. Prices are very reasonable, and cooked foods look really fresh. I tried some salted butterfish, smoked salmon, Polish pickles, and Dutch cookies. There are also lots of employees who are available to help. Will definitely be back!

I come here mainly for Russian/Eastern European specialty items that I cannot get anywhere else, and in that respect Yummy Market is excellent. Very good deli meats and smoked fish, great selection of pickled foods and breads. The candy and sweets aisles practically send me back in time -- and set me back a hefty sum of money. The customer service is fine -- for Russian, anyway. But unfortunately I have to agree with some of the other reviews: I cannot vouch for the quality and freshness of the produce and prepared foods, and even some of the sweets can be a bit disappointing (sweets/baked goods that are packed in-house are sometimes quite dry). You're better off with things that are sealed/industrially packed. And always check the expiration date.

The best place. You may buy everything what you cannot possibly get in any Canadian store. The catering is great. Russian food is very delicious and huge variety for any occasion.

Unfortunately, today, on February 7th, 2022, I was discriminated by Yummy Market employee for not wearing a mask in the store while being medically exempt from It. My visit was to simple buy a few essential grocery products, yet after speaking to the manager, they simply said: "we don't care about your medical exemption, It our store policy NOT to serve anyone without a mask. After being a loyal Yummy Market customer for almost 10 years, I would not visit them again, and do NOT recommend them! , , 7 2022 , Yummy Market , , . , , : " . . Yummy Market 10 , !

Very expensive store. They have no flyers and don't introduce discount policy. Their store-made bread( Belorussian, Sutnyi and others in a row) is overpriced to the highest extent $7. Even in Metro stores the prices are lower.

This place is a gem if you are looking for food items from Eastern Europe. My previous forays here were limited to picking up smoked Salmon, Caviar and some cheese from that region. However I would recommend them for their baked goods and some dessert offerings (more on that later) The place is better accessed via car but one can venture out and take TTC here as well. Located in a strange location of the main drag this is one of those you blink you miss kind of place unless you know where you are going. To give you an idea this is a tad smaller version of Starsky's grocery stores. The variety is at par with Starsky's IMO so if you don't want to venture outside Toronto this is a safe bet. Plenty of hard to find items and oh so impossible to find ingredients. I am kind of partial to less sweet and richer desserts so try and find places that sell them. However this place disappoints in this case as they carry stuff from Dufflet (meh) and Rahier (Thumbs up) which is just fine in my book. They do make some items in house which were decent (opera cake) though nothing special and worth the trek. 4 Stars.

I came here looking for chocolate, dark chocolate specifically. Saw some 90% Cacoa stuff, but decided on the most foreign looking package I could find. No english = even better :) It had been awarded 5 medals this century? looked it up.. red October factory existed before the war and was state run at one time. weburbanist.com/2011/04/24/soviet-yum-yum-russias-red-october-chocolate-factory/ Tasted it - superb, dark chocolate it's like a Russian Aero bar. Anyways I left here with the chocolate, a crepes package (again very little english) and some peach nectar juice. It's nicely organized, clean and offer a wide array of Russian foods from the regular chained groceries. Just a note, you can't see the place from the road. It's deep inside the plaza where the Canadian Tire is located.

The shopping carts aren't sanitized, and they require putting in unclean coins into the carts to use them. Avoid this store unless you want to come down with coronavirus, and you want to be treated like a juvenile delinquent who might steal their carts.

It's hard to not love a quality supermarket that has delicacies from around the world at a reasonable price. Some mustard from Germany, locally baked bread, Russian style sausages, smoked fishes, prepared foods which would take hours to make, and an entire feast can be acquired at a fair price. The selection of cakes, candies, chocolates, and other desserts allow you to give a variety of gifts at various price points, and it all looks and tastes great. The additional pluses of ample parking and great customer service seal the five star rating.

If you shop here, check prices and what it says on label. Your turkey can have a sticker for ground veal which is more expensive. Packages with smoked fish have different prices for no apparent reason, so you are gambling with your money. I hope these tips will be helpful.

Large variety of Eastern European food. Very fresh. Wish they had locations in United States too because the Russian markets in AZ have nothing on Yummy Market.

TERRIBLE SERVICE !!! Manager Julia did not solve the problem, she even yelled at me.

hi, I would like to thank Olga Pereverzeva for her great job! She is the best of the best! She always helps, does her job perfect and always have positive attitude! Her customer service is above excellent! Thank you Olga for great customer service! best regards, Oleksandr

I love shopping at Yummy Market. It's like going on a short trip to Europe. The variety of foods such as cheeses, deli, home made foods, breads, desserts, chocolates & teas are amazing! The products are made of the highest qualities. I find the service prompt and efficient. The store is always clean and there is plenty of room to move around. Especially now, with the C-virus in effect. I found that Yummy Market was a safe place to shop.

Loved it. So many products I haven't seen before. Great selection of smoked fish both hot and cold smoked. Amazing deli with prepared foods that look like they came out of my mother's kitchen. After walking through this supermarket I felt as though I had found something I had been missing since I was a kid. Going back again to try something new.

After reading the web site ad for Yummy Market's Holiday Menu, I was determined to go there before Christmas and take home a sampling of their offerings for our Christmas feast. The only thing that has kept me away from this glorious Russian supermarket is the distance. Got here at last and for the past few days we've all been eating like czars and czarinas! First thing you need to know about Yummy Market is the rye bread. The beautiful awesome set of shelves that is devoted to every possible variety of very fresh mouth watering rye bread. Healthy artisan breads with seeds, with nuts (you simply MUST try their brown walnut bread), chia bread, sunflower seed bread, the list goes on. All day long the diligent ladies of Yummy Market are stacking newly baked bread with plastic gloved hands. All day I said. Stacking, stacking, stacking. It puts your average Canadian bakery, let alone supermarket, to shame. You need not take my word for it though. There are free samples of bread available next to every loaf. It was one such sample that my husband brought to me when I was choosing tiles for the replacement bathroom at nearby Keramin that got me hooked on this place three years ago. No foodie in her right mind would turn down such bread. I could completely understand the sentiments of the young Russian lady slicing my three loaves when she said she could not bear the selection of breads at Walmart after what she was used to at home and she got badly homesick. Homesick for good bread! Yes, you will get that way too, my fellow Yelpers! Or rather, you will come home for the first time to bread as it SHOULD be. I have only touched on that one thing. That's just a hint of what's in store. There is the glorious smoked salmon, rainbow trout, sturgeon, the vast selection of salamis, gourmet prosciutto, Westphalian ham, at the digital deli counter, the imported cheeses from France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the entire aisle devoted to perogies, another aisle devoted to jams and jellies, yet another aisle devoted to teas, and oh yeah, there's the chocolate. No, not just Lindt though that's certainly there. There's quite a selection of chocolates from Vienna and Russia too. The chocolate section made ME homesick for the wonderful Polish delicatessens of my childhood in Parkdale. I grew up with all those delicatessens up and down Roncesvalles and I've been a spoiled princess about food ever since. Nothing could match the experience of those tastes. How I love those gorgeous imported chocolates wrapped in colourful glittering foil in the shape of Santa Claus, decorated eggs and Christmas ornaments. Anyway, I have gushed and rhapsodized enough. Go ahead, don't believe me. Go and check it out for yourself, Yelpers.

They have a lot of variety when it comes to prepared food, cold cuts, breads, sweets and packaged stuff from USSR. Just stay away from the produce... I can't tell you how many times I've purchased avocados that are still hard but when you open they are rotten inside. I'm not sure why they can't get this part right? If you want good produce go across the street to highland farms..

Good European food experience. With wide variety of cold cuts, cheeses, and sweets. And must check out for cold cut and cheese lovers.

Just had a very unpleasant experience with organic arugula. It was totally rotten, while the expiry date was a week away. Manager refused to take it back for a refund, since we didn't keep a receipt. Bad produce should not be sold in the store. And if this was an accident, management should take the bad product back with apologies. It didn't happen, therefore, it looks like a bad practice.

I've been going to Yummy Market since they opened. The space was once a Metro.. That goodness they occupied the space. It's been the best anchor for the plaza. Best place to go for any type of food. They have endless choices for fish, hot table, deli, pastries and chocolates and candy... and anything else imaginable! This place is beyond any supermarket! Puts Loblaws, Longos and Sobeys to shame! Everything here is fresh. This place is busy. Prices are reasonable. You get quality, taste and many products you can't get elsewhere Managers ready to get what you can't find! Incredible! The selection is astronomical! Want honey? There's an endless amount! Same as candy, deli, cheese, smoked fish... You need to see this place... Its insane! You won't be disappointed with your decision. Flavors are intense

Hi, l visited your Yummy Market several times. First time l was very impressed : big place, lots of produce, lots of variety. After coming the second time, than the third time, l start knowing more about the store. 1. There were lots of sellers at bakery goods, meets, fish and cheese. I was disappointed when the vendor l was talking to, watched me, then disappeared. This happened at cheese, fish and bakery sections. The bakery seller hear me but she remained with back turned , so l repeated my request and she didn't say anything. Finally, when l decided to leave, she turned to me with an irritated face and served me unpleasantly. Same thing happened at fish section, the seller disappeared right away after asking her what kind of fish l want. Same thing at cheese section where they were 4 sellers talking to each other but they didn't serve us because they were waiting for the number to be called. 2. I bought several times bread. It was fresh but so soft inside, some even un-baked. But the biggest disappointment was the cheese/sour cherry strudel which was no strudel but a sweet bread which cost me $ 19.99 and l had to trow away half of it. I am afraid to go for holidays shoppings there to not get dissatisfied again. Hope things will change. In general the store is nice, shelf products have good quality and variety. It never happened to me in Toronto to be served in a market with unpleasant attitude, like at Yummy market. Isadora

We, a senior couple, bought two loaves of bread that were produced at this store. Trying this bread at home we found a very poor quality product - bread was uncooked with bad texture and falling apart. Our attempt a few days later to address the issue of uneatable bread to the store's customer service left a very bad taste and experience. In a very arrogant and unfriendly manner a customer service rep immediately turned down our request of taking back this defective product referring to the "48 hours returning policy". Our explanations of belonging to a high risk group during COVID-19 and as a result a very limited ability of leaving home was ignored and immediately rejected in a rude and unfriendly manner. After 20 min on feet waiting the store manager (Simon) showed up just to copy exactly the same kind of attitude and unfriendly behavior towards senior customers. We left the store with a deep feeling of humiliation and disappointment. Later we found several similar complaints on the forums regarding poor customer service at this store. It makes you wonder if the store management even cares about such important issue as customer service satisfaction.

They keep reminding everyone to stay 2 meters apart, the staff are the worst offenders!!

Authentic Russian food heaven to me. Also, produce, groceries, sweets, and a range of other products. Pros: - Tons of items, both fresh and prepared, to suit your fancy for Russian food - Fresh produce and baked goods that look amazing (not gluten free of course) - Deli meats and I believe I saw some different seafood, most likely fish - Wide range of perogies, borsht, salads, cheeses - You can grab a lunch to go - Extensive European candy selection - I went here since I can't have the baked goods! - Prices are pretty standard, some things are great deals Cons: - Not close enough to where I live (which might be good for my wallet) - Can be intimidating for those who don't speak Russian - the staff speak first in Russian and may not speak English. I got around fine with some staff who spoke English or by pointing. If you're shy, bring a friend with you! Definitely worth a visit if you're craving some European food, or some delicious treats!

As you walk in you go straight to the bakery section. The aroma of freshly baked bread is overwhelming, I should stay away from carbs and yet I am finding myself grabbing all these loaves of rye, multigranes, white,challah .. Also in that section freshly baked piroshki with all kinds of fillings: salmon, meat, cabbage, potatoes... Also vatrushki ( like a cheese filled pastry thingy). To the right you will find the cakes, my favorite is Medovik(honey cake) and Izba (sour cherry cake) the reason I like this store is that everything is made from real ingredients and not a lot of substitutes that makes that food delicious and not that bad for you. The cakes are topped with real cream and many use natural ingredients like honey. As we walk forward you will run into the cheese, meat section. You will need your ticket # just like in Starsky. Don't pay much attention to the frown on the staffs' faces. It's an Eastern European thing. Nobody smiles there, except today I found this lady in the ready made food section that was unusually pleasant. In the ready made food section I'd recommend the shashlyk ( kebobs), blinchiki ( similar to crepes) and everything else. The food is not extreme in taste but is not bland either. It's delicious and comforting without loads of MSG in it. To the left of this section you will find the smoked fish/ caviar/ salad department. I saw today some really good looking caviar $120.00/kg.... But it was really nice. In the dairy section you will find lots of organic, local yogurt, kefir and creams. And on the rest of the isles there is lots of chocolates, candy, preserves, etc If you have never been exposed to Eastern European culture I would recommend this store as you can experience something different and if you come from Easter Europe, then Yummy market is the place to be. It has a "welcome home" feel to it.

You feel like you stepped into a supermarket in Russia with beautiful brand names and foods you've never seen before. The prices are reasonable and the quality is high. The fresh fish, meat and produce sections are all pretty small. But the prepared food section is huge with lots of tasty options at very reasonable prices. I usually try to avoid places with yummy in the title, but this place is fantabulous.

Strange specialty food from Eastern Europe. If you like that stuff, it is great. I am not a fan but my friends who are love the place.

Bought local strawberries for the second time and they were rotten on the button of a container again! Had to go to the store to return. They gave me money back, no apologies . This store is too crowded . They need some more space for sure.

Love that Chocolate aisle! European brand boxes of Chocolates perfect as Gifts. VODKA or Brandy Chocolate :D Long line up at Cheese & Deli. I couldn't even see anything through the crowd. People must line up for a reason. Smoked Fish and Salmon Caviar($$$$$) I didn't notice any Sturgeon Caviar but Smoked Fish a plenty. All I saw was $99.99 for Caviar while I faint. Cooked Food selection smells excellent. Rotisserie cooking those Whole Ducks filled the area with aroma. Lots of things look Doughy/Heavy. Bulk Candy aisle separate from Chocolate aisle. I couldn't understand most of the words on the wrappers. It's Russian or European Candy so fill-er up. Cakes & Desserts quite recognizable. Different names and styles but still the basic Pastry Methods. Maybe it's not a Cake night. Perogi filled more than one fridge. Flour Dumplings filled from side to side in Frozen status. Somebody must be OD'd on Perogies.

If you crave Russian or Ukrainian food, this place is an absolute must. It is the size of a small supermarket. The deli meat counter offers all varieties of wonderful sausages; the deli salad counter has all type of tasty morsels (I'm partial to the Armenian style eggplant - or baklazhan, as they say in Russian). The bakery offers a variety of homemade breads, rolls and pirozhky (yeast buns with savoury or sweet fillings) at very modest prices - all of exceptional quality. Frozen foods include a large variety of homemade soups and frozen berries. Additionally, the isles contain a wonderful assortment of teas, pickles (I love the Polish pattypan squash and the pickled garlic stalks), jams, bulk candies, cookies (try the Russian zephyrs - marshmallow concoction between a candy and a cookie), chocolates and more. Definitely a shopping highlight of North York. Most of the help speak reasonably fluent English and unlike some locally run supermarkets, the checkers are very professional and extremely efficient. A counter in front of the store offers Russian pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and even birch branches (for beating your legs at the banya).

Giant eastern European supermarket. That bring said, generally good food, lots of grandmothers, some angry people, and lots of very young children. I do like the prepared foods area. Don't come when hungry. Do check produce and packaged goods to make sure it's fresh. Overall 7/10.

Love this place!! Their sour cream is just like back home-all goodness. Love the ethnic variety of food and choices.

Great Place to find almost anything from the former eastern block! The staff is extremely helpful and clearly well trained. There is always a security guard up front right in the middle of produce department, I assume they're told to look quite serious, and check everyone up and down, looks a bit ridiculous for a grocery store, but I guess they really need one right there, must be a problem area.

European grocery store was very nice, lots os specialty items I wouldn't be able to find else where. They have a large hot food and salad section as well. Price is higher than normal groceries but worth the cost. Will be back again soon

I have been here several times and each time I have experienced favoritism. If you are not russian, they serve you last - many men just push their way to the front of the line or get service at the counter without getting a number - the food is good but they have to STOP playing favorites like that - I also witnessed it with other english-only speaking clients - wisen up yummy market!

Large prepared food section. Good ingredients brutalized. Too much, cooking, too much salt, too much oil. Then it sits around. Everything, all the time, is ruined. But some people like it this way! Fruit and vegetable section better, but brainless. "We'll just get it from a wholesaler."
