Quick answer

Grocery access is one of the few amenities that genuinely changes whether a condominium works day to day, and it is the one most often overstated in listings. Here is what is actually on the corridor. Ratings retrieved 30 August 2026.

Grocery access is one of the few amenities that genuinely changes whether a condo works day to day, and it is the one most often misrepresented in listings. Here is what is actually on The Queensway in Etobicoke.

The options

# Store Rating Reviews Address
1 Longo’s Queensway 4.3 187 1055 The Queensway
2 Ontario Food Terminal 4.3 508 165 The Queensway
3 Sobeys Queensway 4.2 2,765 125 The Queensway
4 Cosimo’s NOFRILLS 4.1 2,508 748 The Queensway

Read this before you read the ratings

Grocery ratings compress. Everything here sits between 4.1 and 4.3, and the two with huge review bases — Sobeys at 2,765 and NoFrills at 2,508 — are within 0.1 of each other. That spread is noise. Do not choose a condo based on a 0.2 difference between supermarkets.

What actually differs is format and location. Longo’s at 1055 is the premium option, mid-corridor. Cosimo’s NoFrills at 748 is the discount option inside the walkable east cluster. Sobeys at 125 is at the far east end near Park Lawn.

The Ontario Food Terminal is not a grocery store

It appears in every grocery search for this corridor and rates 4.3 across 508 reviews, but the Ontario Food Terminal at 165 The Queensway is a wholesale produce market — where restaurants and independent grocers buy. It is not open to the general public for regular shopping. Worth knowing, because listing copy references it as a nearby amenity in a way that implies otherwise.

Which buildings can actually walk to groceries

  • Around 700–800 — Cosimo’s NoFrills at 748 is a genuine walk. Curio at 799 is essentially across the road.
  • Around 1000–1100 — Longo’s at 1055 is walkable. Loggia at 1040 and 1050 are very close.
  • Everywhere else — a drive or a bus, whatever the Walk Score implies.

Costco is close to the corridor and one of the most searched things about this area, but it is a drive for almost every building here, and it is not a top-up shop.
