"If I was with my friends and I called one of them "a little bee" that would not be a good thing; however it's the Little Bee Supermarket we're talking about. And they are a good thing. It's a family run store around the corner from me where I've been shopping for all my emergency and other needs for 16 years at least. They kind of become a part of your life as you watch Mom oh, Dad, and grown-up son take turns manning the cash register. This is not a glamorous store nor does it always have everything I want. But it's completely reliable for those kitchen staples, produce and a surprising number of hardware store items, which makes it very handy to have nearby. They carry all the usual vegetables (limited but consistent selection) and pantry items, the fruit in particular are usually high quality. One of the things that you do not have here is a wide selection of meat: they have pre packaged chicken legs and thighs, bacon, sausages, cold cuts, hot dogs... That's it. Not even ground beef or pork. Do expect authentic Kimchi, however, and all types of Asian noodles. I would say that the Little Bee has a consistent, wide range of products, but is not the place you'll find obscure products. After shopping there almost daily for years, I got to know them well enough that when I am a couple bucks short for my purchases they give me credit and let me come back with the balance (experience may vary). Speaking of prices...these are higher than you'll pay at Loblaws or even Rabba, without them even being open 24/7. What can I say? I support their family business over a chain. I feel their prices reflect small business reality."
