    Great store, I'm a regular. It is always clean and organized. The produce staff are super attentive and always go the extra mile. Most cashiers are very friendly with customers but some do not act the same when their co-workers are purchasing items. Just an observation.

    There is fresh produce. Prices are reasonable.. great place to shop for groceries and home items. I did take out from farm boy to try out. Their food was good. The roasted chicken was great. The prices of the take out food was reasonable. However the taste was not the best. Given that this is a grocery store food can not complain. There were range of available dishes. They were presented well and variety of options were available. The pizza bread was not that good. The salad was subpar. But the others were great.

    Just discovered this gem today, and very happy I did. They have plant-based croissants, strudel and other pastries/ baked goods!! Very difficult to find in Niagara region, and they are very delicious. Fruit is very fresh and at reasonable prices. Ready to eat section looks good too- looking forward to trying next time. Friendly staff and very clean store.

    They have the best double chocolate cookies and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies of anywhere in the city. Also I like the green seedless grapes they're always big they're always sweet never find any rotten ones in the bag like I do at other grocery stores. And there selection of gelato is awesome. Cashiers are always Pleasant well at least to me shouldn't use generalities cuz some people might not have got the same experience I did. But then they might not have given off positive energy so they were getting back what they gave, who knows!

    Great market place! So many diverse products. Make it yourself or try their premade meals. Everything so fresh!

    We don't have Whole Foods in Niagara Region, but we have Farmboy (why not Farmgirl?). It's a great place to get a lot of niche products; like organic, vegan... and the produce is reasonably priced!

    Staff were extremely friendly. The fruits and vegetables are so fresh. Great selection of meats and they have the hot food counter. Amazing place to shop.

    Great Outlet. We've shopped here many times over the last month and a half, and feel that we've gotten quality products, in a clean environment and good service. The layout is almost exactly like the one we frequented in Waterloo, with a few changes in the bakery and self-serve coffees areas. In general, prices are high, but quality is also high. My only quibble is that the produce can be very average at times. We will definitely return.

    We've started going to farm boy more often because it has great produce, cheese and bakery. This what is always bright and clean and has lots in stock. We love the chili lime schnitzel they produce. Recently we tried the take out dinners they produce and you get a lot for your buck, even our guests enjoyed it. Prices are on par with most grocery stores of this caliber.

    My favourite deli and meat counter in the city for sure. Great produce and an amazing selection of greens. The store is always clean (which was appreciated during lockdowns especially) and the management is very friendly!

    Friendly and helpful staff. Place is super clean. Hot Food is delicious and a decent price. Produce Meats and Fish are all very fresh. The check out area can get very crowded. There is just no place to stand. Cashiers are still very quick. Dining area available. The bakery always has super fresh items and smells amazing.

    My absolute favourite grocery store!! This place has everything and the vibe is so homie and all the food is amazing! Their bakery is also absolutely wonderful and delicious! You will not find a better grocery store! Wish we had one in the Falls.

    This grocery store is my favorite to shop at in the area. You are going to pay a premium for meat, produce and cheeses but the selection is very good. You will need to supplement your groceries with a visit to another store as they do not carry some of your everyday needs. The staff is generally overly pleasant, which in my opinion is nice and annoying at the same time. They will continue to be my go-to for certain items.

    Good produce! I go there for their milk (natural grass fed). They are the only ones that carry that brand with a long expiry date.

    My favourite grocery store in the area. Fresh, often trying their best to carry local. There’s both a hot and cold bar, sushi station and bakery as well, which is always good if you need something fresh and fast. Extensive cheese options, fresh fish, local produce. Very reasonably priced too compared to other grocery in the area.

    I was not overly impressed with this store. I was first struck by the strange layout which felt very cramped. I found the baked goods section expensive and seriously lacking in standard fare, as were most sections I visited. The few good points were that the cashiers were very friendly and the parking was ample. I honestly thought Farm Boy would be similar to Longos, but there's absolutely no comparison. I doubt I'd return.

  • 5/5 Kim M. 11 months ago on Google
    This is a great place for high quality and healthy meat, produce and other grocery items. You will pay more, but it's well worth it. Watch for sales...it makes items more affordable.

  • 5/5 Brenda B. 11 months ago on Google
    Always fresh and good prices. Smash burgers are amazing better then 5 guys for sure. We had fried onions bacon cheese tomatoes lettuce. Fresh hamburger patty.... will be back .

  • 4/5 Hedia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for healthy, and organic foods. Cashiers are very friendly and helpful. Would love to see more local produce and products in this shop, which is surrounded by farms, some of which are greenhouses and can provide veggies throughout the winter. Also: local flower farms. Please bring support your neighboring farms "Farm Boy"

  • 5/5 Heidi P. 1 year ago on Google
    Just literally bought the best green grapes I have ever eaten-and for a very reasonable 3.99 a pound!! The food quality and selection has always been top notch and now that other grocery stores have upped their prices there is really very little cost difference-there is however a significant quality difference!! Keep up the great work!!

    I think this place is great!! I shopped here once while trying a new recipe and was able to find all the ingredients I needed thanks to the employees. A gentleman I did not get the name of helped me to find nutritional yeast and tahini, which I was quite greatful for. I even asked him what other things I could use nutritional yeast for and he happily told me about how he put a bit in mac n cheese. Super awesome person!! I also got helped with my cashout by Breanna. She was super friendly and helpful! I forgot one ingredient (realizing it as I am almost done cashing out) but Breanna asked me if I'd like to go grab what I needed while she holds my items there for me. I appreciated that a lot!! She even told me where to find the item I needed, so nice!! After all was square, we had a super pleasant chat, and I was on my way. Great store with great staff! If it wasn't as pricey, I would definitely shop here all the time!! Thank you <3

    First time at Farm Boy. Lots of selection and more unusual products. Prices are much higher for regular shopping, but I would shop here for specialty items.

  • 4/5 Gisele C. 1 year ago on Google
    The Xmas turkey dinner was good however the veggie dishes were just ok. No other options could be ordered with the dinner box.

  • 5/5 Doug S. 1 year ago on Google
    Mostly everything is cheaper than most big box stores. I like that they support more local produce and other businesses. Love the 🍑 🥧 :)

  • 5/5 Jazzy R. 1 year ago on Google
    It is very easy to spend a lot of money here, everything looks so good... don't go with an empty stomach, lol. The pizza and sandwiches are delicious. Great stuff for platters here. Produce is always fresh.

  • 4/5 Matt M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice Farm Boy! Nice inside and out with a the same great selection you would expect from the store. Definitely a great spot to go if you're looking to really treat yourself to making a nice meal, they'll have everything you need!

  • 4/5 Yo M. 1 year ago on Google
    i have a really hard time eating most chicken products from the food bar. any breaded chicken is extremely hard to chew. i spend about 5 minutes trying to break it up, i feel like im chewing straight tendon :/, other than that the store is pretty good

  • 5/5 Chris H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of produce as well as groceries. The selection of prepared food is excellent as well. The quality of their products are very good. Always great customer service.

  • 4/5 Karen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great store for fresh organic meats and produce . Lots of goodies and home made breads as well. I find Tuesday's ate less busier. A little more expensive for grocery items but overall you get what you pay for .

  • 4/5 Devon St. Denis - R. 1 year ago on Google
    As grocery stores go, the prices on .ost things are higher. The store itself has some unique items and is always fresh and clean. Their produce and bread is pretty great.

  • 4/5 paul c. 1 year ago on Google
    Good selection of product. Produce nicely displayed along with the meat section. Store is well laid out and clean. Staff are helpful. Rated 4 stars as its a bit pricey

🫤 Too expensive. Right across from Walmart supercenter. Identical prepackaged goods ranging in cost from $4-10 were shockingly an average of $1-3 more expensive than Walmart.

👍 Store is good. The only this is...the older cashier at the express checkout gave me an eye when I put my items to pay. She thought I have more than 16 items (express checkout is for 1 up to 16 items). I have only 12 items. She seemed not happy & ddn't even smile.
