Food is good and fresh but not dirt cheap like the sign suggests. Pre-made burritos and salads are good
On the pricy side. Expensive to buy food here but convenient location to grab groceries after work

I saw the Root Cellar was offering Waygu Steaks for Valentine's and this past weekend. I had always wondered about this meat specialty and decided to order one for this past weekend. While there was a mix up in the location pick up (their error and they corrected) I was excited to try it and checked online on the correct way to cook it as I had just spent $80 for 1 8.9 ounce steak. It turned out perfect and this steak literally melted in my mouth. Definitely a special occasion purchase but well worth the money.

For the third time now my freshly made ham and cheese quiche came without any ham or cheese. Literally just egg. Happened previously with a differnt quiche from here as well. Three times.

Good prices on some of the produce but in these times I would be grateful to see solidarity with locally grown and Canadian and Mexican produce rather than American. I understand it's hard to find in winter but yesterday (Jan/25) I found some local onions, beets and parsnips and lettuce greens and Mexican peppers and squash. So I am very happy and will be hunting down more grown in Canada. I appreciate the signs stating "country origin" too.

A wonderful find. Super-fresh produce, and an incredible and eclectic assortment of cheeses and dried goods and upscale products. They had some incredible deals, including 3 eggplant for $5. And I bought some of their green sauce, made in-store, a blend of fresh herbs, jalapeños, and sour cream, and I am looking forward to sampling it. The cashier was extremely friendly and helpful so all in all my first visit there was an exceptional experience.
