Terry Rhyno

Love this sobeys. It's never overcrowded

Brandon Faulkner

I like the location, but occasionally have difficulty with the produce here. Still a solid choice though

Tom Bulger

Finally got my 12 pack of Kraft Dinner that was on sale but out if stock. Was able to get a rain check for it.. Only took 2 weeks to get back in stock.

Shauna Gates

Great deals. Great location.

Sackville bayrentals

I love this store!!! I have been doing the family shopping since Covid started and when I moved to a new job in Sackville I was told to try here. I'm very glad I did. Overall the store is very clean!!! The people I've talked to in the store, Bakery, Meat, Grocery and Cash are knowledgeable and friendly. There is always lots of the specials each week. Thanks for being there and keep up the great work.

Reza Amiri

It is small and nice, with good customer service.

Chelsea McMillen

Why would you go to Downsview when you could just go here? It's better organized and the staff are helpful and pleasant.

Kyle “902Lancer” Fenner

Management is horrible and from what I can see treats staff like garbage. Always long lines because of cut hours and workers are stressed to the max but work hard.

Martin Kidd

nice store with a better produce section than some other Sobeys

Yvette LeRoux

Great airmiles collected

Brad Haughn

Always friendly service with a smile

Colleen “Colagranola” Lively

Yay they had take and go pizza. Many sobeys don't have it. So yay.

Linda Forsyth

Great

Angela Cowan

Cashier was very pleasant and courteous. Store is clean and you can locate what you are looking for fairly easily.

brenda lajeunesse

It was good got the feeling the cashier didn't want to be there on a Saturday

- V3RT1CAL

Even at its busiest its still easy to get around and staff is always friendly. A hidden gem for grocery stores in my opinion. The NSLC Express at this location is great as well.

Lisa Swinimer

Not too busy

Ray Newman

Okay for topping up groceries.

Aubrey Corbin

Excellently cleaned and floor layout really nice.. products, staff and management awesome....

Jacquelyn Bradford

We love this Sobey's!! The staff are helpful and friendly and Jenn, one of the cashier's, remembers our daughter by name and makes a point to say hello to her every time we are there. Our daughter looks for her and only wants her to ring us through, which can be a problem when we have more than 12 items ;) She refers to Sobey's first lake as "Jenn's Sobey's" :) And LOVE that there is now an NSLC too!

Tim H

This is probably my favourite sobeys to go to. The parking lot is never full and normally a good fast experience. I recommend this one for anyone near Sackville.

Shauna Smith

Small, but has everything you would ever need

Heidi Slauenwhite (A Drop of Wellness)

Not a bday spot

Stephen Parfitt

Clean store with very helpful staff. Love having Sobeys in the area

sheila young

Great people ????

Michael Braedley

I prefer the Downsview Sobeys as it seems to offer a slightly larger selection and has self checkouts. The NSLC at Downsview is also a full store compared to an express store at First Lake.

Rick Lyman

Always good deals

Haley Hendry

the hot mac and cheese at the deli is good but made me and two of my friends feel VERY sick after eating other wise the place is clean and very good

chuck bishop

Shop here regularly ????

Jacob Luedee

Nice staff and very clean location, great selection of meats and fish, However It can take a while to purchase your goods as there’s usually only a few cash registers open.

Mathew-Leroy Rauber

(Translated) Very well! (Original) Sehr gut!

Kenneth Evoy

This location is a bit out of the way, but it is way less crazy than the Downsview location.

Mike Wetzel

Great little Sobeys.

Troy Drysdale

It's so chill and relaxed, you can go in your pjs. Cashiers like it when you offer high fives. Food to go counter could use some an upgrade of friendly staff. They always have to be beckoned.

Terry Mulcahy

Excellent. Front Store Manager very helpful.

davyman2000

Nice and clean store. Smaller then the one on Sackville drive but never as busy. Only thing keeping it from getting 5 stars is the service from the deli and store made area is usually a hassle

Lindsey Campbell

Good place to grocery shop!

Austin Hiscock

hidden beans

Kevin

bring your airmiles card

Grest store and friendly people. Doesn't have the biggest selection as the bigger stores but understandable for a smaller store

Standard Sobeys, bit smaller but fully stocked.

Very clean. They use the new store layout here. I'm not a fan.

Trevor O'Neil

Like most sobeys slightly over priced

Nancy Mailman

Great evening at the Healthy Living sessions. Lyndsay Fredericks provides great information and great recipes to taste.

Ken Cantley

This is my local Sobeys, I go here when I need to pick something up quick. The staff are helpful and they are fairly quick at the cash. I often find what I need, so they seem to keep stocked.

Will Aitken

Why the queue so slow on the "express" lanes

Mr NoName

Logan Oderkirk

Found what I needed

Angela Connolly

It's a small cozy Sobeys that always has parking and the lines are decent.

Matt Glover

My favourite Sobeys. Everyone is friendly, always clean and well organized. Lots of samples given out. I like that it’s a little smaller - everything is much easier to find than in most of the other much larger stores.

Trent Connors

Awesome store. Love it. Better than most Sobeys stores. Love the bakery layout. Deli is amazing. Just great overall!

Paul Dowie

Friendly speedy service

Mae Fredericks

First time there yesterday and went again today. The staff were very helpful and very nice.

Bumblebee Nickles

Better to go here, rather than the much busier Downsview location.

Kyle

Friendly helpful staff. I find there are usually more registers open here than other locations, one of which always seems to be the 12 items or less express. The little attached NSLC has dramatically improved their selection.

Mike Sideroff

This is a good location, there is enough selection to suit your tastes. Would love to see 2 tier carts for easier loading without crushing the 1st items picked out

Ben Bates

Great store, great location, great deals, friendly staff. There has always been a high pitch whine (dog whistle) when I am in the produce area possibly comming from the deli. The whine has on occasion made me trek further to superstore to shop to avoid the headache caused by this whine. My (50+) mother doesn't hear this whine while I (27) do whenever I am there. I hope this is addressed!

Jodi Rhuland

Well maintained supermarket, always fresh and clean.

Brian Lager (Sandylns)

Typical local Sobey's store. Friendly and clean. Good parking with easy exit and entrance.

Ian Whynacht

Darrell and his team do a great job and are an asset to our community.

Doreen Barton

Clean store and great service!

Andre Barthelotte

The World Reviewer

That girl in the Deli is great, I think her name is Haley. she is so friendly every time we go in to get our groceries. She always sells us something on sale, I was not planning to buy, and she is right, it's great! I love going there and spending our Grocery budget because the people that work there are happy and seem to enjoy their work! We all have to shop for food, so why not shop where it is making a positive impact in so may peoples lives, in your own community? Sobey's First Lake, First on our list! Kind Regards BigReg & Charmaine

Danny Grant

Love the nslc express, very convenient!

Mary Ann

Best Sobeys on the planet.

George MacLean

A small liquor store is to open here shortly which should be a big boon for the store. I'd avoid lunch time here as the local Jr. High and high school kids gather here and it is very busy.

Sarah Moulton

Not only in these trying times, but every day, the folks at my local Sobeys are always ready to go the extra mile. They have the friendliest front end workers, stock people, janitor (hi Dave) , dept managers etc. A big THANK YOU for your tireless , and often thankless, work and STAY SAFE.

The layout of this store is a little confusing...the milk is in 2 different spots and the honey is with the peanutbutter rather than with the natural sweeteners. Thankfully the staff is super friendly and helpful :)

Elaine

We were looking for the advertised special... mincemeat tarts and they had them! Also picked up some candy cane ice cream and storm chips. Ready for the holidays!

Amanda Douglas

Friendly staff! Perfect size for easy in and out!

Robert Braby

Just went for my booster shot

Odette Smith

Friendly and never too busy, perfect place if grocery shopping with kids

Rebekah Macmullin

Gucci

Peter Andersen

Hire more cashiers! If I had a nickel for each time I walked into this Sobey's location, tried to pick up a prepared sandwich and get to the line to face 30 people with packed carts and one lonely Sobey's cashier. Nothing like taking 5 seconds to pick up what you want then waiting 35 min in line so you can pay for it.

Jay Belle

Great sobeys. Before I moved to the area I couldn’t believe there was a sobeys there. But glad there is super handy.

Starting to go down hill. New manager is not as good as the old one, and there is a lot of products they are not carrying. Not good. Plus they upped prices on almost everything.

John G

Convenient location and always has what I need !

Joe Lowe

Great thanks strawberry shortcake tasted wonderful

Amandamarie Douglas

Worst service i have ever had here. The cashier accidentally overcharged me. Noticed AFTER I walked home in the rain with my groceries. Had to walk back. The cashier who was processing the refund decided to do the math on my receipt instead of the register. Got it wrong twice after I had already offered to go get the product off of the shelf. Told her twice her math was wrong then she gave me attitude about it again AFTER I had offered to get the product off of the shelf for her to scan. I don't appreciate the attitude after it was the cashiers fault and not mine. I was the one inconvenienced not Sobeys. I never got one apology just attitude.

Darlene MacDonald

I love this store. It's almost like a hidden gem. Slightly off the beaten path. Parking spaces are extra large, which means no more dings in my doors! This Sobeys bakery is one on the best.

Amy Moore

Great store.. Kids love the mini shopping carts

Clea Douglas

Great store. I shop there all the time. I find it odd that some say it's out of the way, as there are large subdivisions around this store. Great selection, great customer service.

Donna Orr

Always friendly staff and super clean store. It's nice that the store is only minutes away from my home. My one wish is that I seem to always be missing airmiles. I buy products that are on my personal email list yet I never see the points. Very frustrating. I have kept track and I am missing 464 airmiles over the past year
