Five Etobicoke grocery options worth knowing: Longo’s Queensway at 1055 The Queensway, Farm Boy beside Kipling station, Bruno’s Fine Foods in The Kingsway, Costco on Queen Elizabeth Boulevard, and the Wednesday farmers’ market at Montgomery’s Inn in Islington Village. They cover a new full-service supermarket, a station-adjacent fresh market, an Italian specialty grocer and a year-round market.
Where you buy food is the amenity you use most and think about least. It is also one of the few things about a neighbourhood that is easy to verify before you buy — unlike commute times or how loud the street is at 11:00 pm.
Etobicoke is well covered, and the picture changed recently: a major new full-service store opened on The Queensway at the end of 2025. Here are five worth knowing, chosen for range rather than for being the cheapest, and spread across the borough rather than clustered in one pocket.
Longo’s Queensway
1055 The Queensway. The newest of the group, opened in November 2025 as the chain’s 43rd store, and the most complete single-stop option in Etobicoke.
Alongside the standard grocery offer it runs a stone-baked pizza and gourmet sandwich programme, a hot buffet and salad bar, ready-to-go meals, a sushi and poke bar, an in-store Starbucks, and a selection of local beer and wine. It also houses The Loft Cooking School.
Longo’s noted at the opening that the location sits about eight minutes from the Ontario Food Terminal — the wholesale produce hub that supplies much of the region and happens to sit just inside Etobicoke, on The Queensway at Park Lawn.
Farm Boy
5245 Dundas Street West, beside Kipling station. A 25,000-square-foot store in a condominium and retail complex steps from Kipling station, opened in September 2021 as the chain’s second Etobicoke location.
Farm Boy’s pitch is a fresh-market format — produce, butcher counter, cheese, prepared foods and a large plant-based range — rather than a full department-store grocery. The location is the argument: Kipling is the interchange for Line 2, the Milton GO line and MiWay buses from Mississauga, which makes this the most car-free-accessible full grocery shop in the borough.
Bruno’s Fine Foods
4242 Dundas Street West, The Kingsway. A family-owned Italian grocer that has been operating in Toronto for over fifty years across two generations, with four locations of which this is the Etobicoke one.
It is a specialty grocer rather than a supermarket — the draw is the counters, the prepared foods and the Italian range, not a 40,000-item aisle count. Hours are Monday to Saturday 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and Sunday 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. It sits in the Humbertown area of Dundas Street West, a short drive or bus ride from Islington station.
Costco Wholesale Etobicoke
50 Queen Elizabeth Boulevard. The borough’s membership warehouse, tucked into the industrial pocket between The Queensway and the Gardiner. Membership required, and the usual warehouse format: bulk grocery, a bakery, and the ancillary services Costco runs at most warehouses.
Its relevance to a house hunt is straightforward — households that do a monthly bulk shop rate proximity to one of these highly, and Etobicoke has one centrally placed with easy Gardiner and 427 access. Confirm current warehouse hours and services on Costco’s own site before a first trip.
Montgomery’s Inn Farmers’ Market
4709 Dundas Street West, Islington Village. Not a store, but the most useful weekly food stop in Central Etobicoke. The City of Toronto museum at Montgomery’s Inn hosts a farmers’ market every Wednesday from 2:00 to 6:00 pm, running year-round and moving indoors in the winter.
Local growers and small food businesses sell produce, baked goods and prepared food. The museum itself has free general admission and is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Free parking is accessible from Montgomery Road, one block east of Islington Avenue, and Islington station is close by.
The five at a glance
| Name | Neighbourhood | Known for |
|---|---|---|

| Bruno’s Fine Foods | The Kingsway / Humbertown | Family-owned Italian specialty grocer, 50+ years |

| Montgomery’s Inn Farmers’ Market | Islington Village | Wednesday 2–6 pm year-round farmers’ market at a City museum |
Why this matters if you’re moving here
Etobicoke’s grocery geography follows its two big east-west spines. The Queensway carries the large-format stores and the warehouse; Dundas Street West carries the station-adjacent and specialty options through Islington and The Kingsway. Lake Shore Boulevard West through the Lakeshore communities is served by smaller-format stores and independents rather than the big banners.
That has a practical consequence for buyers. If you are shopping the South Etobicoke waterfront, a full grocery run usually means a short drive north or east; if you are shopping the Queensway corridor or around Kipling, it can genuinely be a walk. Neither is a reason to rule an area out, but it should be a conscious choice rather than a surprise in month two.
The farmers’ market is the underrated entry here. A year-round weekly market inside a City museum, with free parking, is the kind of thing that quietly defines the character of Islington Village — and it is the sort of detail that never appears on a listing.
The takeaway
The large-format grocery in Etobicoke sits on The Queensway and around Kipling; the specialty and station-adjacent options sit on Dundas Street West. Drive your real route at your real time before you commit — and if you are in Central Etobicoke, put the Wednesday market at Montgomery’s Inn on the list.
