Overall it’s a nice neighborhood store with some great organic options. Went this past week to get some fruits to give to my baby. Unfortunately, after getting home I’ve realized that papaya I’ve got has mold on it so went straight to compost (paid $10) and they had organic strawberries 2 for $4 from USA and after soaking them with water they turned pink and brown (even though they looked fresh and red when I looked at them at the store) so I was really disappointed

Good store. Several items have good quality. The review could be full 5 star, if their Organic Milk Product of Hope Farms, didnt turn curdled before expiry for all 3 to 4 bottles bought recently.

Either Hope Eco Farms giving Organic Goat Milk is not storing well or Sweet Potato is nit storing these bottles well enough to remain fresh and not get curdled. Milk turns salty and yogurty. This happened consecutively for past 3 weeks, in almost 9 bottles out of 12 bottles bought, that too when expiry date had not reached. So had to review this today here. Also milk seems GMO Modified, Chemicalky made goat milk. Please check in Lab.

I enjoy coming here. The staff and food selection is great! What impressed me the most was the last few times I was in, the staff were teaching groups of developmentally challenged students how to shop and understand the signage and price tags. Having a disability myself, I congratulate you for including them in your day to day routines they always seemed happy & excited!. I’ve never seen this anywhere else. Only sad thing is I miss the bayview location as it was closer for me. Hopefully one day in the future you’ll open another location more north. Thank you

Stop shopping here!

This place is a cash grab dressed up as an “organic” grocery store. It’s consistently the most expensive health/organic shop I’ve been to in Toronto. More expensive than the Big Carrot!! How can that even be.

What really bothers me is the public messaging from the owner about “trying not to raise prices", "supply chain issues", "inflation" when other stores don't seem to be increase prices drastically. After multiple visits, it comes across as spin—because the pricing reality here is the opposite. I've shopped all over Toronto and this is just greed. Prices here are consistently 30% higher than other stores. Check yourselves.

And for what? There’s barely any variety. You’re paying boutique prices for a narrow selection of the same few brands/products, so it’s not even like you’re getting some unbeatable specialty assortment to justify the markup.

The overall vibe is also awful— on top of that, the staff are rude and dismissive. I’ve had enough short, unfriendly interactions that I now avoid this place entirely. If you want organic food without the attitude and inflated pricing, there are better options in the city.

Alternatives in the area:
- No Frills organic section
- Farmers market
- Healthy Planet
- Easy Health Food Store
- Food For Life

Very honest pricing , reliable and high quality produce, clean, friendly
The best sushi in Toronto! Organic wholesome ingredients, very tasty and fresh! Great prices if you order 100 pieces for party! Ask them-you won/t regret!

Great Junction local grocer! Amazing fresh meat and fish section. If you're looking for pork (Berkshire, du Bretonne) they have it at reasonable prices. A lot of fresh local produce and a good selection of pantry goods and personal care items. Watch the prices - though most are reasonable you may be surprised by some.

Decided to give The Sweet Potato a try today, hoping for some high quality ready to eat meals despite the steep prices. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. The combo meal included kale that was clearly stale and meatballs that tasted rancid. To top it off, I found a hair in the quiche absolutely disgusting. Given the prices, I expected far better quality and hygiene. I won’t be returning, and I can’t recommend this place to anyone.

We wanted to gift our daughter and partner a voucher from this great store. It has such a variety of quality food. We reside in Australia so the time difference presented a challenge. Shannon went above and beyond, the most amazing service I have ever experienced. Nothing was too much and my daughter was thrilled with the gift. If I lived in Toronto this would definitely be my favourite store. Thank you Shannon, you are a gem and Sweet Potato are so lucky to have you in their employment

I not only love the selection of items available here, but I also love the customer service provided by the friendliest staff. This location is wonderful, has lots of parking space and I also love the quality of their fresh baked goods. I mostly love to shop from that department since their baked goods make the perfect and easiest snacks and/or breakfast. The best part? Finding healthy and organic options. They've got fresh seafood. Shelves are full and I love the little details around the store, such as the maple leaf 🍁 added to the Canadian items. I love being able to support local and finding staff picks for when I'm not sure what to buy. I love their cheddar scones and their raspberry loaf. I also got their new bake at home product to try and can't wait to see how that goes.

I love the staff at this store. They acknowledge me when I walk in and say hello always. They go out of their way in regards to customer service. The cashier offered today to call someone to help me bring groceries to my car. So accommodating and for her to ask me made me feel very welcome. Also, the butcher offered to vacuum seal my meat as I stocked up. I greatly appreciated this gesture and felt like he went out of his way asking me this and vacuum sealing it for me. It made me feel appreciated as a customer. I love this store, the high quality products and the staff. Keep it up Sweet Potato. Customer service is key makes customers keep coming back. Thank you. 💗

Just writing to tell the staff how awesome they were. I did a demo here yesterday and everyone helped to set me up for success. I met a LOT of happy customers that used to shop at the other location that come all the way to the junction for a reason. Some of the awesome team members are Ben, Tobias and Nadiya but everyone helped to make the demo a success. Can't wait to come back in the warmer weather. Hugs.

Vincent was amazing in assisting me in my shopping venture. He is just greatest model employee I have ever seen. Hopefully management will treat him to a raise he well deserves

I have been going to the sweet potato since they first opened and always have a great experience. Great quality and fair prices. I am writing this review because I just tried their sushi which is something new for them. It was delish! Fresh rice, fish and veggies. Loved it!

Nadia was so kind and helpful, she offered to carry my groceries to my car seeing I had my two small children with me.

Everyone here is also very friendly, always being so kind to my children, offering them stickers.

Good quality food, lots of sales!

Love the organic and fresh large grocery store in the junction and the new location which is easier to park by and access.

The interior is well organized, clean, bright and well stocked in a variety of items and selection.

The prices are more expensive ( as expected for any organic/health food store).

Fantastic to see such a great selection of produce with local options. Store is nicely laid out and the sale prices are quite good. Lots of space to get around with the carts. The parking lot provided is great to have as the area is getting very busy. Knowledgable staff that are helpful and friendly. I can now go to one place to get all of my favourite items and brands I also appreciate the I store samples that they often have. Some great ready to grab and go meal options.
