I have been shopping at Fiesta Farms for years. It is my favourite store as the quality of foods are superior to all other stores I have ever experienced.
I know most employees personally, and they go out of their way to help you find a product, answer your questions and help you find the right product.
From the managers to the cashiers, and everyone else in between, they are all friendly, receptive to questions and suggestions, and respectful!
What I see is that they truly care about what they sell and are very helpful and accommodating with their customers.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 27, 2019
I just hate Fiesta Farms even though I shop there often.
Why do I shop there? I like the items they carry - specialty international items,
good coffee selection, hard to find artisanal food items, nice produce, fresh salmon, almost like a poor man's Whole Foods.
Why do I hate it? I have a stroller that has made me realize how completely inaccessible the shop is to anyone in a mobility device/wheelchair. First, just to get into the shop from outdoors, it is completely closed off by metal rails that I can barely can squeeze my tush through.
Once inside, you can only exit if you are purchasing something (ie you have to go through a checkout to leave) and only aisle 7 fits my stroller or anything larger. So I'm faced with either lining up in aisle 7 even if I'm not buying anything OR if aisle 7 is closed - they put an upside down shopping cart in it to block it off!! So aggravating and the people working there don't give a care at all!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Danielle F.Toronto, Canada527429219May 21, 2019
I'm obsessed! It has been a longheld dream of mine to live within walking distance to Fiesta Farms. I'm not quite there yet, but the dream is still very much alive and I make the stopover whenever I can.
There's something about Fiesta Farms. It's the wondrous local products and new finds. It's a layout that just makes sense. It's how nice all the customers and staff seem to be. I truly find something great that I've never seen before and have positive interactions each time.
Most recently and excitingly, I picked up a pack of frozen spanakopita that are the perfect on the go snack for a savoury girl like me. In the same trip, I picked up a bright yellow bar of Cows Creamery sea-salted butter. Consider this my start in my foray into cool, Canadian butters. This one is from Prince Edward Island and you can just taste the difference in richness.
Christie Pitts, you are one lucky lass.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Kyla C.Edmonton, Canada1258355Dec 3, 2019
Fiesta Farms is one of my favourite places in the whole wide world! And that says a lot coming from someone who hates grocery shopping.
They have all of your usual grocery staples, with the added bonus of a variety of local delights from farmers across Ontario. I sound like my mother when I say they honestly have the best produce out of any of the competing Sobeys, Metro and Loblaws stores in the area.
As a vegetarian, I love that they also have all the "weird vegan things" I like to eat, like chia seeds, hemp hearts, and various tofu products and mock meats.
The prices are competitive as well. I usually find it much cheaper than the other shops, though they could do to have some sales every now and again.
Plus, whenever I come in it seems like they're always playing the best 80s hits overhead?! If Fiesta Farms is a party, then I want to keep this one raging all night long.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Apr 7, 2017
Neighbourhood grocery store close to my heart (and home) I have been consistently going here since I was in elementary school. This grocery store is the epitome of a one stop shop. They have all your typical conventional brands from the major CPGs as well as a large selection of organic, natural food items you may find in a Whole Foods. I used to live and breathe their hot food section. One of the few grocery stores in the area where you can buy bulk buns, stock up on olives from the olive bar and snag planters for your front porch.
Wouldn't say prices are exorbitant; you are definitely supporting a local business!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 2768551379Sep 19, 2016
I love this little gem of a grocery store!
Fiesta Farms stocks many unique foods products that I hadn't seen before - I had a lot of fun wandering the aisles looking for some grocery treats. They also seem to have a big selection of organic products as well.
When I was leaving on my last shopping trip, I was struggling with a giant watermelon (lol no joke) and a kind man working for the store named Vito came over to assist and helped walk me to my car. Too sweet.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Stephanie P.Toronto, Canada6613612Feb 7, 2017
Hidden gem in the city! Really great selection of produce, meats, speciality cheeses and non-dairy products, and Italian products you'd find in Vaughan or in speciality boutiques.
Prices are great (more affordable than Metro or Loblaws!) and the quality is fresher than most grocery stores in the city.
Free parking!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kate C.Waterloo, Canada12989130May 14, 2019
Normal grocery store but most things are severely overpriced. Would much rather just buy items at the fruit & meet markets on bloor near the subway station.

I'm definitely a fan of coming here. Especially since I sometimes go on a gluten-free diet.
Pros:
such a nice selection of tasty, gourmet-friendly foods;
produce tends to be fresh-o-fresh;
prices are reasonable. Look out for any cool savings;
special reason to enjoy this place? Their variety in carrying items that come directly from Italy or Europe. Otherwise typically hard to get in your average grocery store, they have many Italian brands of foods, cosmetics, pastas, sauces.
really great Organic selection, in particular. Most places don't stock this much!
goodness - their garden centre is a dream. They treated the public to a corn maze during the fall, and were offering cocoa during a part of the cold winter season. Not only this, but they offered pumpkins to a neighbouring school so that each class could decorate their own pumpkin for free. Supernice of them.
Cons:
still feel awkward to return anything. Easier to not return an item and regret purchasing, than returning anything here. You have to go through a couple of people - both the cashier and the store manager (who is called in to authorize the return, after asking you some questions about why you want to make the return). Luckily, I don't normally want to return anything here.
I debated whether I'd give 4 or 5 stars, but FF does so many things right - that despite having a con-notch, it is still always a lovely place to shop at!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Mar 13, 2012Previous review3.5 stars on average. Compared to the veggies found at markets, the ones found here aren't bad. I find FF to be a reliable store to go to for weekly goods. Prices are usually the going rate. Sometimes much? more, sometimes much? less. Substantial enough Organic produce section.
Buy what you're sure about, since returns are a pain. Twice I've come to return something, twice I had to answer multiple questions about the item. If the item is sealed, not perishable, purchased recently, and I have the receipt, then why do I have to answer so many questions to make an honest return? As I typed, I figured that at say Loblaws, the managers there wouldn't have a vested interest in finding out why the customer wants to make a return. Ff being family owned... I can see hy they'd want to stay competitive.
Staff members have all consistently been kind. They've done a really good job of hiring friendly workers.
Good overall. Minus one and a half for not having a different system in place for the many cyclists coming their way, and for making returns difficult to do.
