The following review refers to the Yorkville location and no others: Ah Pusateris, do I have a review to give you! Many people have issues with the fact that the prices at Pusateris are high. I do not. If you don't want to buy something, you don't. They do cater to a more affluent set although the majority of their customers are really after buying the prestige of shopping there and are not necessarily rich. So let's say that this is really more of a social climbing atmosphere than an affluent one. However, it is their disgusting and completely discourteous service/workers/managers that blow my mind. Since they are less than 1 block away from my Condo, I normally shop at Pusateris if I'm lazy. I have rarely heard a thank you from ANYONE who works there. From the servers, to the floor staff who have no problem in PUSHING you out of their way, to the attitude of the tall lanky manager who must be a relative, to the nasty stares of the counter staff who look like they hate the world, to the sharp and ungrateful women at the cash registers, this is a MESS of an establishment. I'm almost ashamed that I've continued to shop there but for me, it's been convenient. Now, we could pretend that these poor workers are just responding to weeks of dealing with attitude-driven rich folks. No way. This is Toronto and the clientele at Pusateris are quite polite, with exceptions but no more than any other spot in town. In any case, this is no excuse. If the food at Rabba was not half-rancid, I would shop there but I have purchased my last batch of rotten chicken and will stick to Pusateri's Kosher alternative. Honestly, the momos running this store think that since their business is good, they are good. Well, they could possibly have had Pusateris all over the world if they had any sense of management, etiquette and organization. I give this spot the worst rating of any grocery store that I have ever been to. Such a shame that their food is usually good. Advice - get in a taxi and go someplace else. I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

What do you expect from the name Pusateri's???when you heard the name it means fine foods,imported good from Europe,fresh,up scale items,clean,they are like a luxury/gourmet store...High class area,good service,one of a kind product comes with a high price tag here... They do deliver if you are busy,nice staff,convenient place to shop for those who have the money,or who appreciates luxury in life.If you are the type of person who is practical & more into savings you can go to exclusive grocery store for less price. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

I don't understand why people come here! Please elucidate to me, because I have lived next-door for some time and I never go unless it is an emergency (like I desperately need a $6 gallon of milk I could get at Rabba for $4). Everything is overpriced, and you can get it all within a short distance for much less (Rabba, Valu-Mart, even Whole Foods for some things). So why oh why, with the rude staff and mediocre coffee bar do people crowd into this place like it is some kind of mecca of gourmet food? Could it be the pre-made foods? I have tried some, including their salads, and I was not at all impressed. So what is it? I know they sell goodies from Wanda's Pie in the Sky, which are delicious, but don't you all know the actual shop where they make them is less then a block away? I do not recommend this place.
