I have a big HEART-on for the Big Carrot! Who doesn't love this place? I mean COME ON, PEEPS!
Most important star factors for me:
1. They carry Ying Ying Soy Food products. They keep up their stock. A reliable source in the East End for my favourite tofu = Priceless!
2. The staff aren't snobby.
3. Clean, well laid out, and doesn't smell weird. So many similar establishments SMELL SO WEIRD. Not an issue here
4. Is this the biggest retail store of its kind in Toronto? It's the biggest I've been to! YAY!
Lose a star:
Why can't I FIND anything here??? Maybe it's me... but I just don't get the layout. What is the suggested pathway through the store to see everything? Where is the signage? Help!
Lose another star but I'm not actually deducting it:
As others have said, the OTHER CUSTOMERS are the worst thing here - I want to slap that "holier than thou" smug look right off their face and trip them so they fall right into the gluten-free bread display and it all goes EVERYWHERE. Douchebags.
