Benny Foods Ltd

Holy carp, the selection of goods is surprisingly complete for a corner store. Good bread, fresh produce, essentials, canned salmon, a deli in the back... Yeah, it's more expensive than a supermarket or one of the Chinese markets, but you could cook well and healthily just from here.Plus the door was open, always reassuring in pandemic time.

I go out of my way to grab a sandwich from Benny's. Simple, nothing fancy, but great ingredients and the family/staff are always friendly and kind. Sandwiches are affordable too. I also suggest any of their home-made cookies.

Love this store so much. The staff are amazing and make you feel like family. You can fond virtually anything here and the prices are good

I absolutely love that this store has been a family run business for over 100 years now. The owners are from what I can see a very lovely couple who really care about being there as a family business which face it now a days you don't come across these types of businesses anymore because everything is has been franchised and become one of many chain store's some might even go as far to say they just all have been commercialized.. So I encourage everyone to go and get out to support businesses like this because soon we won't have any left cause of how big corps have been buying everyone out that they can.

A classic neighbourhood grocer whom everyone knows each other. They carry a good selection of items. In the back of the store is where you will find delicious sandwiches and an assortment of deli meats & food. I had the ‘Prosciutto Italiano’ sandwich consisting of prosciutto, provolone, tomato, onion with a choice of Italian white or whole wheat bread or un. You have a choice of regular or Dijon mustard, mayo, or chipotle mayo. The prosciutto was sliced to paper thin thickness without too much condiment on it. The whole wheat bun was fresh and not too hard. At the price of $8.75 plus tax, you just get a sandwich.Off to the side of the store, there’s a coffee grinder so you can grind your own coffee. There’s a good selection of Italian products. Located on Union Street they are only a couple blocks from Chinatown. A great neighbourhood store serving the local community.

Nice place, a bit pricy but fair for a neighborhood store. They got their own deli and sizeable pantry selection, but I only go for bananas and ciggies

They sold me chicken that was soured and wouldn’t replace it.They sold me repackaged frozen chicken thighs without an expiration date label. When I opened the package the chicken was clearly gone bad, it smelled foul. I threw out the chicken and brought the package in. The owners told me they don’t have a good sense of smell and were very defensive. They would not replace the meat, which I was shocked by.That seems like a given next step for This situation.I am disappointed and frustrated and I won’t be shopping there again.I like supporting small local businesses but I didn’t receive the care back I expect as a neighbour and regular customer.

It's not a popular opinion but I don't care if it's a 100 year old family business. I hate Benny's Foods.I have been going here for the 6 years I have lived in the neighborhood. Finally, this week, they actually acted friendly to me and asked me if I lived in the area. I have been coming here for 6 years! Same 2 people always at the cash register. Happily chit chatting with customers. But when I try to make friendly chit chat, I am met with what feels like hostility. I noticed from the get go that they didn't treat me the same as other customers. Yet they pride themselves on being a family business, and part of the community. But they don't treat the community all the same, that's for sure. Last year, I got a lecture when I needed a bag 5 cent bag for my $25 purchase. After spending who knows how much money at this store, I decided to try a Too Good To Go box. It was awful! Literally rotten fruit that was inedible. I saw all the boxes waiting to be picked up and what people before me were getting. They were getting good stuff. Then when it was my turn, the lady didn't give me one of the pre-prepared boxes and literally grabbed rotten produce and gave it to me. I decided to give it one more try and still the same, except it was much smaller than the first time. I threw the entire thing away both times because it was inedible. It's over priced, and there are lots of places that sell similar stuff at better quality and prices. The products they carry aren't hard to find or all that special. After spending a lot of money here over the years, I plan to go elsewhere, where they treat me nicer.

It is a great place to find things even the big stores don't have. And the deli makes great sandwiches.

Went here to buy art, they’ve got a huge range of Laughing Hand large prints!!
