Foods For Life

Stopped in daily while in Toronto. I like «regular» coffee, a warm, comfortable brew that gently says «good morning, welcome to your day». The Tenant gave me exactly that. Better (and cheaper) than the Gladstone.

Absolutely the best prices and selection in the city. Obviously. many of you know it, as the store is usually packed.

I love this place so so so so so much!
I come here at least twice a week to pick up health food stuff, many of which include regular grocery items (dairy, breads, snacks, tofu, etc). I’ve been to many health food stores in the city, and by far, Foods for Life has the BEST prices I have seen anywhere in Toronto. They are unmatched!
Only downside is that they don’t accept credit cards, and the store is quite small and cramped all the time. It’s all good though– the service is always friendly, and I never think have to think twice about where to get my health goodies!

yes they may be cheaper than others, but a horrible shopping experience… so crowded, dingy, the staff are incredibly rude (and this is my 7^th time going, diff people — same ‘tude, so its the store culture… line ups ridiculous, Peachtree — 2 blocks away is a dream and so much nicer in terms of the shopping experience

Wow! If you are looking for health food (supplements, organic food, vegan food) this place is the bargoon mecca. Yes, it is perennially crowded, but there is a reason for that! I‘ve also been able to find some obscure oils (e.g. pumpkin seed oil, avocado oil) here which are great. Limited selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. No credit cards, booerns.

Key Features: A lot of the items here are cheaper than you could find anywhere else (including grocery stores)
Alright, now I’m no health nut. But everyone I work with is. I was finally dragged into one of these stores — you know, the type where Kale Chips are not only heard of, but actually well liked? And I tell you what — there was some good things to be found here.
What I discovered is that health food people love ginger. What a coincidence! I love ginger too. Together we loved ginger. They have more ginger flavoured candies, preserves, or other tasty treats than you would imagine.
The problem is, I am not a small man. And these aisle terrify me quite a bit. Every time I turned around, or — gasp — had to pass someone reading over what essential vitamins or nutrients were in their product, the likes of which I’d never seen before, I felt I was going to knock over all the shelves, like dominoes in a made-​for-​tv movie.
This was less than ideal. But, at the end of the day, the prices were great. This shocked me quite a bit. And the items seemed nice.
This was, clearly, not a store for me — and I did feel somewhat claustrophobic, hence the 3-​Stars. But, if you need health food, and you’re into that stuff — in which case you’re probably half my size — this is the place for you.

What an incredible store. By far the best prices in the city for health foods. I shop there every week. The place is jammed with stuff and there isn’t much room to walk around. We call it the skinny store because you need to be skinny to get around in it. Almost everything you want to buy in a health food store is significantly cheaper in this place. I’ve shopped at all the other big ones in the city. Worth a trip to the west end.

This the most inexpensive store for supplements. It has great alternative food options as well. Love it!

Fabulous store (very packed!), but they seem to have everything!
Very knowledgeable staff too

This store is amazing! They have everything in stock and their prices are the best in the city. The down side is that they’re closed on Sundays and also their store is very small with narrow aisles. It can get very crowded on a Saturday, so you have to be patient. They take debit cards, but no credit cards. But trust me their prices are really really good!!!
