Longo’s

They carry same selections and products as other Longos but this location is so busy and crowded. I don’t normally like to come to this location, especially on weekends

I really like longos.
I love how neat and tidy the store is, how fresh the produce is, how clean the floors are.
I also like that there are a lot of adults working there. Older adults who have worked there for years. to me this means they pay a fair wage because those guys would probably move on if they didn’t.
I love how you can wander the produce aisle and ask anyone that works there how to tell if something is fresh, or when it came in, or tips and tricks for cooking and they can answer you. Even the teenagers. I’ve tried so many new things because of that.
Parking here can be a real stress ball depending on where you choose to park. If you park by the door good luck trying to back out if its shopping rush hour time. They have a fairly big lot so you can find stress free parking, you just have to do some cardio to get it. :)
Che, knout is great, it can be busy but usually there is someone there directing the. Chaos and you can get out pretty darned quick.
Only downside– holy cow it can be pricy. Bit that being said, when things are on sale, its a great price and it make up for the $$$. Also they have a rewards programming. Its free to sign up!

I have been a faithful customer of Longo’s since the 80’s. I used to come here when there was a poultry farm next door and there were chickens walking around in the parking lot. A lot has changed in Markham since then but thank goodness Longo’s has remained right where it always was. Not only that, but the very thing that kept me going back all those years ago is still the same. The staff at Longo’s is the best! They are friendly, efficient and very hard working. You can see they take pride in what they are doing. That means a lot to me.
Longo’s produce is very fresh. They have a pretty good selection of organic produce. Their deli has great Italian cold cuts and cheeses. I have bought birthday cakes from their bakery and was very happy with the quality. The artisan breads are also delicious. My favourite is the olive walnut loaf.
Longo’s has unique products to try. I recently picked up some miniature sweet peppers from the deli section. They not only added colour to salads and appetizers but they tasted great. I’ve never seen these tear drop shaped peppers any where else. I’ve tried Longo’s brand of fig, apple and walnut spread. It’s great on crackers with cheese. They also do a spicy pineapple jelly and a cranberry port jelly that are great.
Their sandwich counter and stone oven baked pizzas are very popular with the local lunch crowd. You can pick up a party tray for your next event. Their focaccia sandwiches are amazing. Being a huge fan of Starbucks, having a counter right by the entrance is a big plus for me. Overall, I love this location for its unique products, consistent quality and excellent service. I hope they will be here for many more years to come.

Way too boutiquey .very limited cheese counter but they do have a thousand varieties of hummus. not much selection. much better to be found at Michaelangelo’s across the street

Amazing! staff is always helpful and organized. They are very knowledgeable about the products.

I used to shop at this Longo’s all the time when I worked in Markham, in fact, I remember shopping at the Markham store when it was on Woodbine just north of Steeles.
This store is always clean and tidy, and I like the vast choices for takeout food, including the salad bar, sandwiches, hot food, etc.
Like other Longo’s locations it has a good but not great selection of organic food.
The parking lot always seems packed, and yet the store does not, same thing I noticed at the Leaside location, would the store be busier with a larger parking lot?
Lastly, Longos used to sell these great collapsible fabric grocery bins, but they have been out of stock every time I shop there. The one I have is getting old and is my favourite for light but bulky items, please bring them back Longo’s!

I use to go to longos downtown for a good yogurt breakfast with berries and granola. Nice to know there’s a location here in Markham too!
I like making my own giant salad and I don’t know if it’s the items I pick or what not but it’s never over 7 $ for a really big awesome salad!
Some things here are over priced, but the service is excellent and the store is well organized and well stocked. It’s not a quiet supermarket. Fairly busy place actually.
I just wish they wouldn’t put the dining tables right by the door. It’s horrible trying to eat with people walking past you ever few seconds opening the doors.

Longo’s is by far the most trustworthy and reliable grocery store of all in the GTA. I find that they go far out of their way to please customers. Occasionally (extremely rare), I’ve had a problem with a purchase and they really bend over backwards to make things right. I’ve been shopping at Longo’s for over a decade and it always #1 for freshness (of meats and vegetables), customer service (way beyond the scales) and everyday value. What really sets them apart is the extent they will go to appease a customer. No other grocery store even comes close to their standards.

Gross
Never again for the takeout food.
Raw cubes posing as potato salad, without any flavour. Just raw cubes.
Pasta salad, cooked Yay, but again no flavour.
BBQ’ed chicken slimey and undercooked.
I’m not sure what is up with the cook, but I will not be buying anything premade again.
I still can’t get the taste of raw potato out of my mouth.

Bought some La Rocca Creative Cakes at your bakery at your Markham location yesterday for a birthday. They aren’t cheap, they looked good but they tasted horrible. They were at least a week old. Stop selling stale crap to people and misrepresenting the deliciousness that is LaRocca. Disappointed That is all.

Too bad there isn’t a Longos closer to home. Its either this one or the one further in east Markham. I didn’t especially shopped here before until I was having a conversation with a friend and they always shop at Longos. I wondered why… the fruits and veggies are definitely way more fresh than the nearby less expensive grocery stores… You will not be disappointed in the freshness.
There’s also quite a bit of variety as well in dry products. Some products that aren’t usually seen in lower graded grocery stores. like Barilla pasta sauce and etc…
It’s a clean place to shop for sure. and I simply love their deli section… yummy fresh made sandwiches and sliced meat/​cheese to perfection… my fav. Montréal smoked beef on ciabatta…
Staff are nice and friendly… longos card to accumulate points are a plus…
All in all, a place I don’t mind coming for fresh produce…

The fanciest schmanciest Longo’s I have ever been to. Everything is so shiney, and in it’s proper place.
There’s a place to get «gourmet» meals. Take the «gourmet» with a grain of salt. BAHAHA. get it? get it?
Yup, I’m showin’ myself out while you eye roll.
And everyone smiles — like the staff AND customers. It’s surreal.
Anywhooo. if you ever have the desire to experience what Stepford Ville would be like, do drop by.

Great wood oven pizza. Thin crispy crust, agree with other reviews, it is the bet in the area. Good size too for the price. Good selection of toppings from artichoke to sausage… Great tasting veal sandwiches as well.

If you want a quick lunch this Longo’s has a great selection. You can hit the salad, cold or hot food bar where you fill your container with whatever you want (wicked spread). You can also grab a slice of ‘Za or a veal/​chicken sandwich or a panini or a hot container with lasagna and potatoes or hit the bin full of wraps and sandwiches. The list goes on what you can get here for lunch. HUGE selection… and the eye candy of yummy mummy’s isn’t bad either :) LOL

Mr. Longo, you make goooooddd pizza! That’s how that slogan goes right? Longo’s pizza will actually surprise you, I work across the street and have tried several of their pizza selections, IMO their pizza is better than any chain pizzeria available in the suburbs. You can get it by the slice or call ahead and order a whole pie. Their pizza by the slice is way more innovative than your standard pizzeria, while they have your pepperoni, cheese and veggie variations they also come up with some pretty cool combinations. The best slice I’ve had here was a cheese-​less pizza (GASP! I know cheese-​less?! I too thought this was a sin until I had this bad boy) this particular variation was topped with figs, prosciutto, and what I believe was rapini (might have been another type of bitter green). The figs sweetness was balanced by the saltiness of the prosciutto and the bitterness of the rapini, all these toppings worked in perfect harmony to create an orgy of flavours the likes of which my palate has never seen. Their dough is quite good too; crispy and not too thin, it has a nice crunch with some solid chew. I highly recommend their pizza if you are looking for a quick meal, I believe Thursdays are pizza nights where you can get a 1 topping large for 6.99 (Great value! Way better than pizza pizza’s walk in special).
Enough about the pizza, this place also has an extensive hot-​table but I have never liked any of their hot-​table food, it is usually pretty mediocre. Their rotisserie chicken is probably the best of any grocery store it has a nice smoky flavour and the chickens are usually plump and juicy. (Wednesday is Chicken night, 6.99 for a 1kg chicken! the self loathing after I have polished off half the bird comes free of charge). They have a dinner special for 6.99 every night of the week for those of us too busy to prepare dinner. Their salad bar is also pretty extensive if you are looking for a lighter lunch. WARNING! This place does get pretty packed around lunch time due to the outpour of employees from the several businesses in the area.
Other than that this place is a standard Longo’s, fresh produce is always good and groceries are way over-​priced. Double bonus for having a Starbucks located right inside! Great lunch option for those who work and live in the area!

This Longo’s has been around as long as I remember.
Carries all the basic items, nothing too fancy.
They do have make to order pizza and a hot table if you want to pick up something for a quick bite.
oh of course a Starbucks on site too!

Came back here recently as I was in the area & they are carrying more vegan & vegetarian friendly foods which is great! I won’t always have to go to Ambrosia to get my fix! Plus on Sundays they always do a sample table for one product & we got to try something called Bagel O’s. Delicious & healthy snack that’s like a bagel cream puff. But inside is cream cheese & herbs. The other flavour was Salmon & cream cheese.

The store itself is lacking in selection in some departments, is a bit expensive, and is often understaffed at the checkouts.
However, the salad bar is fantastic, and offers a great way to get actually healthy food for lunch at a reasonable price. Raw veggies, quinoa salad, and chicken or salmon is my standard, with flax seeds and/​or almonds, and a bit of red wine vinegar. There are tons of great combinations that will leave you feeling healthy and nourished. Watch out for some of the oilier salads as I’m not totally convinced they are using the healthiest oils and they often seem drenched in dressing. Also, there are fresh fruits, hard boiled eggs, and tons of other great things to eat. A vegetarian could also get a good, healthy meal here.
