Scheffler's is the kind of deli that's so good it makes you want to move to Toronto. It's a living, breathing charcuterie board in the middle of a St. Lawrence's Market.
First of all, bravo on the samples. I haven't seen this many samples in a Costco. I haven't seen this many samples in the Great White North except at the Granville Island Public Market. Oh yeah, and if it's not out for samples already ... just ask ... they know you'll love it all!
They have the meats. They have the cheeses. I mean, they made a couple a charcuterie wedding cake, people!
They also have the patés, stuffed peppers, antipastos, tomatoes, roasted garlic, dips, olives, salads, truffles, milks, spreads, oils, vinegars, mustards, condiments, and dressings ... from all over the world. And, near and dear to my heart, homemade pesto!
Scheffler's says they have "the largest selection of prosciutto in the city" and with their bounty, it's hard to argue. I would add BEST selection to that name, as well.
Some of those that stood out? I tried a strong, nutty, bold, and sweet Fontina from Italy's Aosta Valley made from unpasteurized cow's milk. I also loved a Spanish chorizo and a French paté, the brand names of which escape me.
Everything I tried at Scheffler's was DELI-icious! -

Went to the St. Lawrence Market on 21 December 2018. It was quite busy. The cold cut selection at Scheffler's was quite nice, the staff was attentive and polite. However, the price was similar to other shops, like Metro, Loblaw, that have a deli counter. The meat was fine, however just like other delicatessens. The girl at the cashier however wasn't all that friendly, never said thank you after my purchase. She was busy talking with the cashier beside her. Sorry, but I won't be back.

6/24/15: Came here as part of a food tour, and while I didn't get to choose the items that we ate, I could tell that everything is awesome here.
1. Cheese: The one we had was some kind of cheddar (I think). Very strong and packed with flavor. Has more of the stinkiness found in the high-end soft cheeses, and is just a totally high-end ultra-high-grade cheese.
2. Prosciutto: Well, I think it's prosciutto, or at least some variant. Sorry, I'm not versed in all the different cured meats, but to me that's the general category. Sliced ultra-super-thin and served on butcher's paper. Looks and tastes great.
3. Peppers: So, I dunno what these were, but they're a little more than 1cm in diameter, and are really cute! Red with a little tail sticking out. You eat them with toothpicks. Tastes sweet and isn't too hot. Love these!
If you want a snack, this is the place to go if you're in the St. Lawrence Market building.

The best deli meats and overall spread selection I've had in toronto. Reasonable prices.

I used to come to this place until I noticed something sketchy going on. They had this batch of calendo brie on sale, and I saw from the packages that they would expire very soon (I checked the whole stack, they were all about to expire), so I didn't buy it. I come back 2 weeks later (so the cheese would have been expired by now), but the cheeses were STILL THERE! And the expiration dates had been RUBBED OFF THE PACKAGE! You could see the blurry smudge where the expiration stamp used to be.
Also, their prices are not even that great. Certain cheeses are overpriced, and the crackers (like the rainforrest chips) are way more expensive than say Domino Foods downstairs.
