Bulk Barn

WARNING: Price rip offsDefinitely comparison shop before you make the mistake I made, presuming bulk barn would be cheaper than other alternatives. Case in point, Turbinado sugar at this location is now $6.95/kg.. That's almost double what it was 3 years ago. Another bulk food retailer (Urban Bulk on Queen S E) sells the same Turbinado sugar for $5/kg.Bulk barn, or at least this location, is milking it's customers using inflation as an excuse. Yes, inflation is happening. But some retailers are padding the increase to line their pockets. Shop around.

10/10. Hands down the best bulk barn ive ever been too! The staff are friendly, welcoming and kind. Super covid-safe and explained the regulations clearly. The cashier was so lovely and funny. And all other staff were friendly and helped make shopping efficient, fun and safe!

A very good Bulk Barn. Very clean, the people are nice.

Well stocked, clean and organized location. If you are here because you believe in the concept of less (or cero) waste, which is precisely the idea... bring your own paper or reusable bags or containers. They will mark at the front the ones that need to be weighed. You can find pretty much every ingredient and spice, even bulk honey, soaps. The location is strategic, close to grocery stores and every need to do a one stop shopping. Parking is free. For easier shopping avoid peak hours.

I was totally impressed with the super protocol in place at this Bulk Barn. Customers wearing masks must wait to be allowed inside. The greeter gave me instruction to sanitize my hands and to wear gloves. Each scope of all items are only used once and then put into a nearby container in the aisles to be collected by a worker.

I really like the bulk barn. The staff are helpful and often knowledgeable about various things ie cooking or herbs, supplements etc. And how do they memorize all the codes and know what every little item is? It's amazing when they know I have tapioca flour and arrowroot flour both white and similar looking and don't have to ask what they are! Now during the pandemic customers can't go into the store and serve themselves product from the storage bins like we used to do. It's not safe. So staff leads individual customers around - and serves them their order by scooping it out of the bins for them. Customers are asked to clean there hands and put on gloves upon entering the store, after waiting outside usually in a very short line, and the staff uses a new set of scoops when serving each customer. It's very well thought out. If customers don't want to or can't go to the store most stores offer curbside pick up as well but I've found orders can take a couple days sometimes before they are ready. The store has so many different things to choice from there are cereals, flours, candies, chocolate wafers for making candy, pans and molds, dried fruit, natural honey and peanut butter, varieties of nuts - whole or chopped and so much more! Check out the site and then make a list and go to a store and get one of the nice staff to fulfill your order. My only real complaint is there are no prices listed on the website. Bad enough prior to the pandemic and worse now when trying to shop and figure out how much of such and such you need and you can't figure out a price.

Good selection and lots of free parking. Good prices and there are regular sales and discount coupons if you subscribe to their emails

It was clean and the cashier was nice. Missing 2 items available in most bulk barns.

Good experience. Covid changed the way things were done but in an efficient and hygienic manner. The scoops are all single use, so you use it once and it goes in a bin where it goes to get washed. Someone was standing at the door to inform us of this new process.

Bulk Barn offers a huge selection of goods and affordable prices. This location is very well kept. The aisles and bins are clean and well organized. The staff are particularly good. They were very eager to offer help and they were very friendly. I was impressed with the wide selection of protein bars and gluten free products. They have an updated format which works well.
