Convenient one stop shop with great deals. I love the convenience of the in store Starbucks and the fresh sushi. Parking is easy to find in the mall basement, though the center itself is a bit older. Avoid the late afternoon rush when it gets crowded with university students...

A nicely laid-out store with an interesting mix of products. The bakery has a good stock of fresh goods. I have often popped in to grab a few groceries and some ready-made meals. Overall, an excellent shopping experience with friendly and helpful staff.
