Jim Buffett

Easy to find items, clean and very friendly staff

ZachFX

Just as good as any other Sobeys. Clean and tidy. Never seen much staff around the store..

Evison Jr. TATO

Best Sobeys in town. I was really impressed by the customer service especially in regard to their employees are who always seem to wear a smile and ready to assist your every need. Absolutely loved the Deli Department best samosas I’ve had.

Vijaykumar Solanki

Convenient Grocery for all customers. Friendly staff. You can find out most of the products there. International sections are also available. And a wide range of Dairy, vegetables, and of course, near to bus stop.

Kevin Eugene Dakin's

You don't sell cannabinoids that it's this place at four out of five

Kathy McKay

Nice small grocery store with all we need. I prefer it to the larger ones.

This store suffers from poor management,because of this i have noticed a huge difference with this store compared to other chains and also other sobey's stores I shop at. For one thing they do not hold to what the flyers state,if you think you can go buy a full stick of bologna that was advertised as on sale think again,they get it and cut it up to sell for more. My wife has a rain cheque for over a year now and hasn't been able to buy a single full stick,there are countless other points on that topic alone such as terrible selection of comparative foods. Just go check the freezer section for burgers,breaded chicken products etc...it's laughable. The one star i gave is for the great staff.

Staff is consistently friendly and helpful. They have chocolate covered jujubes! They usually have the free run eggs and soy milk that I go there for. They carry Silver Hills (sprouted wheat) bread, and lot's of gluten free breads. Produce section seems smaller than other supermarkets.

Sam N

Super clean and organized! That crowd has it together!

gil shalev

Great supermarket with an even better NLC store. Great location for the downtown crowd.

Stacey Mercer

Staff is great. Amazing customer service.

Robin Sukhan

My wife and I from Winnipeg are in Newfoundland with our four grand kids. We rented a house which is slightly over 1 km from this Sobeys. This store is convenient for us so we have been to it every day to date. The store has everything that we want. The service is excellent.

larrain lsd

Best supermarket in town. I wish I can find more vegetarian options.

mehedi hasan090807

Excellent place for daily life shopping.

Ajay Sankar

One of the best supermarkets in the city. Plenty of choices.

Peter Karl

Pretty small sobey's. I usually go there if I am in a rush cause it's close to my house. A lot of times they don't have certain produce in stock.

A Fire

Clean and well stocked with a large selection

Bobbi Collins

Good selection. Friendly staff.

Barry Delong

Typical Sobeys experience. Good selection.

Shannon Wilton

It's a decent grocery store. The vegetables are often lacking in quality. The staff are helpful if not the most cheerful looking bunch.

Simon Blair

It's a good store, it doesn't have quite the selection that dominion has, and has hand sanitizer and directional lines.

Jay Lavigne

Well played out center of the city, starting to build out speciality and organic section

Crystal Jenkins

Great prices, flyer specials are usually in stock and very friendly staff.

Linda Furlong-Coles

What can I say or do about this place? Grocery shopping do not exist for me anymore because everything is gone threw the roof for All Food and it is truly Sad that I can't afford to buy any food ????. But unfortunately I'm not the only one who is Starving.

April M Sullivan

A busy spot for sure, great staff including my son that works there . Sometimes they have good sales and its kept clean & organized.

Bloggy Z

Another day, another Sobey's. Clean, well stocked, fast lines. So sure they're a bit more expensive than Walmart but it's worth it. Some actually pretty decent baked goods (and I'm from France so i'm used to good bakeries). Cake service was good both times I used it. Also, this one is right between downtown and MUN, so good location ! Nice big parking lot too, though careful it does get icy during winter. Definitely recommend it.

Ana Ramirez-Cruz

Nice food. Nice staff. The elderly are more hostile there.

Krishnaa Mahbubani

Nice grocery store with a liquor store attached

Daniel Hutchings

Pleasant Staff. Usually well stocked with hard to find find food items. Quiet times for people with Autism and seniors. Plenty of parking. Wheelchair accessible.

Len Penton

Extended hours are a good feature during the Dominion strike

Keith Stapleton

Good location, parking, and good selection

Daphne Rayner

Young staff didn't know where what I wanted was. I had to find older staff who did.

Emily Coffen

Staff is awesome! However compared to other Sobeys the selection is poor.

Khamadi Ojiambo

As good as grocery stores get I suppose. Clean, always well stocked, friendly people working there. It however is a little more pricey then Dominion or Superstore.

heather kennery

We recently ordered the large wrap tray for a small gathering and they were absolutely delicious. It was a great option for a very fair price and it was done super quickly as it was a last minute order. We did ask for some vegetarian options which were not included, otherwise the order was great and was the perfect amount of food.

Wualla “Wualla”

Nice prices Lack of vegetables It has a Liquor Store nearby

Nicholas Subramaniam

It was a great experience everyone was super friendly and helpful!!!

Celebrity Sobeys? The selection is decent, and you may run into a local celebrity.

Clean. Not crowded. Mostly has what I need.

Zach W

Has a decent variety. Nice location too.

nirmalya das

Huge collection. Price is competitive. Overall a good neighborhood grocery.

Mireille Eagan

It's a standard Sobeys. But they've made efforts to have a nice international food section which has some cool choices.

Michael Venart

Friendly staff, have most everything, and the produce is better than most.

Renee Boileau

Just the right side grocer, pedestrian friendly in winter, friendly fishmonger, helpful produce staff.

Japinder Singh

Fresh and quality product get easily

Dana Decker

It is clean bright with good deals and good people

Rick Bailey

Always friendly staff, great selection, sunny days!

Michael Walter

Great neighborhood supermarket, with a large variety of food. Usually have what you need, good parking lot. Only really bad thing is that they have odd Sunday hours, closing Sunday evening.

Ruxandra Dranga

Good grocery store conveniently located for downtown B&Bs.

Peter Sorensen

A nice sobey's with attached liquor store!

Diane Aylward

Not a big selection of fruit/vegetables especially the trays :(

Canning Factory

This Sobeys has easily one of the best fish sections in the city, also the second best grocery store bakery in town after Belbin's (not the best bakery mind you, nothing beats Georgetown Bakery, just best grocery store bakery). Everything else is good in this Sobeys, but the frozen dairy section is pretty weak with poor selection and usually badly stocked, the one weak part of a solid neighborhood grocery store.

Household Dakins Kevindakins

This place has a decent location. And a liquor store. They are also small so for that reason they alsolose a star.

Sheldon Huelin

Friendly staff, fair prices and great vegetation.

Darryl Hollett

A Regular Grocery store shopping visit. Good verity of food here.

Febin Francis

Grocery store at a comfortable location with ample parking space. Things are bit costly when compared to Dominion and Costco. Not so crowded. You've some Indian items sold there.

Mg 0

Good selection of quality products. Wonderful to see a large array of local produce. Such beautiful bunches of beets, on my most recent visit. There are health-ish foods, including a very good kombucha from Nova Scotia, Cove. There ar also some British sweets, and heritage Canadian brands of biscuits and such. Fun. Strange and disappointing, though, that the wholesome / eco-friendly items, like a fair trade chocolate bar ($3.99), are more expensive than a large box of’cookies ($2.50). Says more about our food systems than anything, tho.

Patricia Rose Bailey

Horrible GF prices for someone who is Celiac. Prices increase substantially from one Canada Pension pay period to the next. Since my income doesn't change, I have no choice but eat less & less.

Ginger Cross

The pharmacy staff are extremely helpfull with explaining medication usage. If not in stock, they will order it in for you.

Kartik Patel

Location is pretty good for MUN students and you can get pretty much anything you need.

Iago Carvalho

This is a very nice supermarket, the staff is kind and helpful, fruits and veggies always fresh and they have pretty much everything you need.

Good prices, friendly staff, clean store

Md. Omer Khayyam

Going there for last four years.. always organized.. Tuesday is best for students as you get 10% discount

Rob Brewer

As with most places in NL, vegetables are way overpriced although they do try to compensate with some BOGO deals. Overall selection of goods is average.

Alex L

Would rate zero stars if I could, staff are rude and judgmental, don’t expect good service if your under the age of 18. Treat students horribly, clearly the “undercover shoppers” have nothing better to do harass students during the lunch hour.

Leszek Marcinkowski

they did not accepted olde 5$ bills..

Oludare Oduekun

Always a nice store to shop in.

James Dwyer

Small store with limited selection. Biggest issue is that there are never enough lines open, so be prepared to wait for a while to pay.

Pete West

Friendly helpful staff and a well stocked, clean store with a good selection of vegan products.

Kyle Roberts

Pure garbage--lack of selection--high prices--even the sobeys on Elizabeth has a better selection---legit, go to the dominion

sarah squibb

Poor attitude from front end management. The rest of the cashiers are phenomenal!!

Adam Chafe

Go to supermarket for downtown. Usually have everything I want but sometimes could have a better selection in the meat department.

Wisewebwoman

Fast checkouts. Pricing on some items like yogurt not honoured at checkout.

Babulal Chaudhary

It is good place to purchase grocery and dairy products, and better rewarding air miles.

Jonathan Young (Jonny Fever)

Prices are too high. Hand sanitizer always empty have to use spray from carts.

W Gobert

Most notable is that the store connects indoors to a very large liquor store, government owned.

Deb Bellows

Always well stocked.

Ashley P. Hall

On last visit, I ripped my tire in the parking lot.

Raul Torres More

Gotta go on tuesdays to get a 10% discount with student ID and air miles

Mad Murphy

Great place for groceries

Kavi Heerah

Tony Bishop

Good selection, nice baked goods,plenty of international foods .

MM Huque

Small outlet, but neat and clean.

Uzomamaka McQueens

I went there 2 days ago, on the 19th of March 2019. Amongst $102:68 I spent there, i bought 4 pork chops in a tray. Yesterday when I tried to wash them to start cooking, I realized the other side in the tray of 3 of the pork chop, were green, sticky and smelling. I quickly called them to complain. The lady I spoke to, said I must bring the receipt and the product. When I went to look for the receipt, I realised that that cashier who checked me out, didn't put in my receipt in any of the bags. So I lost $7 of my groceries and nothing I can do now. They ruined my dinner, because clearly the packaged the pork, knowing it was spoilt or someone isn't monitoring or inspecting their products properly.

Mitch Snow

The "made in store" items are reliably marked down when the shelf life is about to end. Exactly what I'm looking for in a grocery store.

Natalie Butler

Pleasant and helpful staff. Most foods available.

Carol Greene

Poor parking due to hockey game in the arena next door.

Mary Wyse

Brilliant! They went above and beyond to make it easier for shoppers while under this State of Emergency!!

Zita Holubova

This store is walking distance from lots of residential neighborhoods. The variety of fresh produce is limited. Most of the sale products is sold out by early afternoon. Pharmacy section is small with limited variety. Staff is very helpful and courteous. You must bring your own bag as the plastic bags are not available in the store at all any more.

Donna Downton

I like this supermarket. It's clean, with friendly staff, and I can always find what I need.

Brian Peyton

I was looking for a specific item and the only place that carried it was Sobeys. So I also did some grocery shopping while I was there.

H Fitz

SimSimma 868

We've only been in Newfoundland for about a week and we've gone to Sobeys atleast 3 times already. As a Supermarket it has everything we needed, the staff is friendly and it is clean and well kept.

Ken C

Big store and staff were friendly and helpful. Prices are okay and lots of free parking out front. Good location and not far from downtown and close to where we stayed. Will even cook lobster for you while you shop. If you are starting in the area, this is a good place to visit to pickup some food as it's cheaper than eating out all the time. Did not notice any international food though.

Em C

Decent but not great selection, produce area always disorganized, sale items typically stocked

Jeff

Excellent service. All checkouts open
