I love this location. They have a lot of fresh food, fresh meats, and a lot of Caribbean items that you cannot find in other stores. Also, the gentleman at the back that deals with the meat by the name of Abdi is so friendly and so kind. He has a beautiful smile and amazing customer service.

This your ultimate Caribbean grocery store. You can get almost anything you want from the Caribbean. I love getting Caribbean style bake goods and treats, different kind of teas and tonic and drinks and lots of seasonings, herbs, and spices. This store has been around for decades as it fills the void for those looking to buy Caribbean groceries that you won’t find in the chain grocery stores. They sell everything, and I mean everything including hair products, heavy duty aluminum pots like you would see in a Caribbean kitchen. They also sell barrel ( cardboard in all sizes and the tall blue plastic kind) for those who want to ship stuff back to their home country. $19.99 for the small cardboard and $65 for the tall blue red plastic. Check out the fruit market for imported Caribbean fruits and produce. There’s a fish market/counter where you can get popular types of fish like snapper, goat, parrot, doctor, grouper, herring, bangamary, king fish, salmon etc. There’s also lots of salted fish for your choosing. For meat eaters, the meat market sells fresh oxtail, goat, mutton, cow foot etc. you can get the regular frozen meat you would find in a grocery store. The staff in store can help you find what you’re looking for if you get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things. I have never wanted something and didn’t find at this store. There are a few Danforth Food Market stores in Toronto. Sometimes l, I would like to see the store neater but I realize the space is small and they have thousands of products

Yes the have lots of West Indian stuff. But I will say it’s over priced. I went in there last week to buy west Indian bread and I found so much mold on the bottom of the bread. I show one of the staff and she laughed and said no one checked. That’s scary because you are supposed to clean and check your product.

Three stars because while the store has an impressive selection of Caribbean items I haven’t seen elsewhere, my experience was ruined by an uncomfortable encounter with another customer. A man repeatedly followed me around, harassing me for my number and offering to “take care of me” despite me saying no multiple times. I understand the store can’t control the behavior of others, but I didn’t like it at all. On top of that, there were also some male workers making comments in my ear, which made me feel even more uncomfortable. The workers are also not welcoming. Unfortunately, because of this, I won’t be returning though the store itself has a great variety of products.

Carry a wide range or Jamaican/West Indian/Caribbean groceries. Nice to have market like this in the community. I don’t do ALL my shopping here but do come regularly form specific items. Store could use a likkle refresh, and I find some products a little expensive but nowadays with inflation you can’t really blame them.

If zero star was an option i would have picked it but this place has horrible service, The items are a bit overpriced for not so good of a quality. The worker called me an idiot after i had clarified something about the hit table in the back. Looks like they are scamming people and would not recommend this place

Danforth is my to go to grocery store for jamaican groceries. It's quite expensive on some merchandise, but the guys working at the meat and fish sections are very friendly and nice.
