Habesha African Market

This African and Caribbean store has literally everything. The owner is really friendly. She knows everything about her products. She answered all my questions. Great price. You get Ethiopian complimentary coffee freshly brewed every day. The coffee was 10/10. I've been trying to find a local African and Caribbean store. And this is a great one, especially if you're in the downtown area.

Great place to shop but make sure you check the expiry dates. The produce ranges from super fresh to questionable. Staff is super friendly and eager to assist. If you don't see what your looking for, just ask.some things aren't where you'd expect to find them. Their signature Habesha Ethiopian coffee, whole bean or custom grind is simply exquisite. A must try.
Habesha African Market ia a fresh food oasis in a food desert and a great place to buy a mango.

They have different African goods but it's not organized there, not easy to find price

Received my Business Cards from here as they are an access point. Their service is excellent and products are bountiful.

The owner doesn't have any respect for his employees. Shame on him the way he treats them.

Very friendly staff, clearance shelf is worth my stopping in at least 5times a week, convenient for me since circle k is way to expensive.

This place is very inviting and clean with great selection. Yassin the meat cutter is awesome!

Picked up a u-haul yesterday and drove it ten minutes to my old apartment, ten minutes to the new one, and ten minutes back to the store. Despite this thing being a gas guzzler, the gas gauge did not move because of how short the trip was.

The photos are time stamped and you can see that they look exactly the same at pickup and drop off. I guess I’m naive but I thought it was silly to stop to put $3 in on the way back but boy was I wrong.

Because I’m honest to a fault, I made the mistake of telling them I hadn’t put gas in it because it literally hadn’t moved. I guarantee if I hadn’t said anything they would not have noticed. They told me I had to take it to the gas station and put the $6 it cost me (and put me over the original amount) or they’d charge me $25 on top of my bill.

I truly cannot understand how eating the cost of $3 is worth losing me as a customer and getting this one star review. You can tell that it didn’t move because even with gas prices being the way they are $6 me over the original amount.

They told me that uhaul is the one who makes the rules but I didn’t realize the vehicle transmits the gas gauge to uhaul (it doesn’t) for a gauge that, had it moved, had a difference of of something as thin as a strand of hair. The lady at the counter went outside and took a picture that looked exactly like the picture I had taken 8 mins before and insisted that it had moved.

I swept out the back as asked and was not refunded the $25 dollars for bringing it back clean as the sign inside and of the box truck said.

I went to this place because it was the closest to my apartment and had an okay rating, but never again.

It’s sad because initially I had planned to do some grocery shopping here in the future ‍️

Really love this store. Really brings the taste of Africa to Canada. Very nostalgic. Please bring back Pronutro

Super friendly staff! Awesome product choice with the BEST prices! Not to mention their bread is usually fresh from a local bakery! Amazing coffee that’s the best price around. The best little hidden gem

I had an absolutely terrific U haul pickup experience from the Habesha African Market location. I received a confirmation phone call the day before my pickup confirming the time and location. Once I arrived the next day the staff did a tremendous job of completing the paperwork and getting my U haul ready. It made my moving experience that much better.

Don't bother coming here for Uhaul, they tell you that all the trucks are reserved and then when you reserve one for this location 5 minutes after leaving the store they tell you its been given to the person in line in front of you

It was ok. The customer service wasn't very apretiated concidering I was there for Uhaul and they Gave me a truck that was dirty and never fixed my mileage and didn't even hear me when I asked if they had a mini Usb charger just assumed I said I phone. I felt like I was annoying them

Friendly devoted owners that make you feel like a VIP! Great selection, variety store, acceptable prices. Things could be a bit neater and prices displayed better. Efforts are definitely noticed, they're doing they're best to meet needs so clutter can be ignored to support a local business that cares

Herbs and veggies look old and almost rotting. Prices are higher than superstore. Selection is no better than a superstore. Came here looking for some African spices, but honestly their selection is simply no better than the international aisle of the superstore. Poor quality groceries and higher price make this a ripoff especially if you are on a budget.

Don't ever go here for Uhaul.
We had a reservation.showed them the reservation number and told us that it's not their issue, and the truck got transferred else where but didn't know where.
We move today and are now stuck.

Great customer service

Always filled with fun energy, they always stock what you will need and have grown to accommodate. Always great deals to be found

Very disappointing when picking up my U-Haul truck today and only being told that the dolly that I PAID to reserve is that they do NOT even have one- I called one week ahead specifically asking this store how I go about reserving a dolly and was advised by them to go on the official website for booking. Thanks for making my moving day with almost 20 boxes a great one guys.

OK the owner is nice but cashier (short girl) can be rude and no proper communications, i will see if things change the next time i visit the store:)
professionalism and proper approach is great asset to have for any business.

You can buy fresh, frozen and dry/canned goods here. The service is friendly and willing to address any questions/concerns.
An essential part of the McDougall community.
