The favourite bowl
Anthony F.

Came by for a work lunch and was really happy with the recommendation from a coworker. The service was excellent as the staff was polite, attentive and patient. The dining area is roomy with nice sofas and chairs. Food was excellent as I didn't feel like crap afterwards. Would come back again for sure.

Buffalo chick'n wrap
Alykhan V.

Pretty good place! Especially for a vegan restaurant! Overall: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 - a nice classy vibe, but still bright and open. Service: 4.5/5 - servers were really friendly and helped me with recommendation! Food: 4/5 I'm critical as I'm an omnivore. However, even considering that, I thought the buffalo chic'n wrap was great! Would've liked it regardless of if it was vegan or not. I've tried a few things at Fresh and would say this was probably my favourite from the menu. Overall, would come here again and get the same thing. Decently priced too because vegan food can be expensive.

Oatmilk cappuccino
Indo S.

Our first meal in Toronto after a long flight. Service was friendly, prompt and courteous. I think Rebecca was the name of the nice lady that helped us. We enjoyed every part of our meal. Food was fresh and tasty. Atmosphere is relaxed. Everything on the menu is plant based. Would recommend for a casual bite.

Dining area

Fresh on Front is easily the chains nicest location, especially for a comfortable dinner. It's more spacious, and less cramped, and the high ceilings make even more so. (I remember first going to the location at Spadina and Richmond back in 2007! Always very cramped but we still loved it.) The menu is expansive and reasonably priced. Servers are always very kind and cool.

Really cute restaurant chain in Toronto. Lots of different locations. Got the cauliflower bites because they were a fave and they did not disappoint. They are a full service restaurant and juice bar. Shops, salads, bowls, smoothies, burgers, & light bites. Did I mention it was entirely vegan!! Food came out super quick and it was warm n fresh. Highly suggest trying out the food here. Easily identifiable gluten friendly items as well.

Protein bowl small, buffalo cauliflower, passion  fruit smoothie
Rachel L.

I came here for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't very busy! The vibe and decor is really cute. I ordered the protein bowl with noodles but they mixed it up and gave me rice instead. I also got a smoothie but they ran out of bananas, so the smoothie was bit sour (wish they used some other alternatives to made it a bit sweeter/drinkable). The buffalo cauliflower were pretty good and crispy. A good plant based restaurant with a handful of options to select from, but wouldn't be my first pick to come back to.

Date Almond Shake, Watermelon Crush, Sweet Potato Fries with Garlic Mayo, Dragon Fries and Fresh Hummus.
Monica M.

The service was good and the ambiance and aesthetic was nice but, the food wasn't that great. The garlic mayo was the highlight of the meal.

Breakfast burrito
Goose R.

We came for breakfast and got the breakfast platter. Generous portions. Delicious. It doesn't get 5 stars because the staff kind of forgot about us after sitting us , took some time to flag one over. Second. One of the bathrooms was nasty dirty. 3. They forgot to do an omelette that was supposed to come with my dish. Other than that very good and will try again

The NEW but not improved nachos
Signe L.

I have had so many errors I the past year, including food that I was allergic to sent to me. The portions have dwindled, and I just found out that these folks who are committed to sustainability and quality put GMO canola in every single soup and every salad dressing except 3 (which contain soy). They also deep fry in canola oil. There are more processed items like beyond burger, JustEgg, Daiya-style cheese now, and more wheat in many new dishes. They also use Redpath sugar which has GMOs and is refined. This is just not healthy anymore. The juices are still organic + good, but expensive compared to others like Village Juicery. The food is vegan, but no health-conscious person could call any of "healthy". It's a real shame they're focusing on expansion instead of quality.

Nachos
Patricia J.

Neither of us are Vegan but I'd come back here in a heartbeat. The nachos were fantastic and tasted no difference. Hearty toppings. Loved my Ceasar! The tahini dressing was on point. I also asked for hot sauce which was really good. Exceptional meal and we had plenty leftovers for the next day.

Sharky L.

My friend always pick Fresh after a workout to be healthy but he orders fried food and always get the cake after. Ended up eating unhealthy. So be careful what you order. I do like the food here it's simple and healthy. I like the tiger eye and always start with a the ginger balm shot. For me I like the Tiger or Powerhouse bowl, large. Big enough and very filling, especially after a workout. Ambience is casual and nice here, good background music and spacious seating. Good for business meetings, dates, and catching up with friends.

Kurtis J.

One of my favourite places, always a great stop. Fresh juices, smoothies, and more. Love to sample it all.

two plates of food on a table
Hana T.

Popular vegan brunch spot. We got their bowls and had brown rice at the bottom. It was pretty good but I think overpriced. They have a lot of options but it was either just vegetables or too sweet like their french toast. The broccoli appetizer was a little too oily for my liking. It's a very nice spot for brunch with your friends but in terms of my preference for brunch food, it was not the best. Great service though!

I've heard some conflicting reviews about this well-known vegan restaurant, but I'm quite…read moreimpressed! I feel that the price point is actually very reasonable given the portions and quality of ingredients. A disclaimer that I've only tried their noodle dishes and not the sushi (I do like my seafood haha), but these are fantastic - rich in flavour without being overwhelmed with salt and sugar (the typical fallbacks for vegan food). Highly recommend the truffle fried rice and the Singapore noodles! The fact that the food seems to be relatively healthy (at least psychologically...) is of course a plus as well. The interior is fairly upscale, the dim lighting and elegant decor contributing to a muted but lovely ambiance. I do love a place that allows you to have a conversation at normal volumes! Service is always excellent without fail, the staff is helpful but not overbearing. A must for anyone who's vegan, vegan-curious, or simply searching for some great food in beautiful surroundings!

This continues the 2025 alphabet series, C is for Cafe Landwer. On Tuesday, 6/3/25, we went to St. Lawrence Market; see my B is for Buster Sea Cove. Seems like we happened to go alphabetical for lunch/brunch as the next day Wed., 6/4/25. This place had good reviews. So, we got on TTC to Osgoode station and was a very close walk. It said established in 1919, so we thought it's a good sign it's been in business over a century; although not this location specifically. Their history in the 20th century was that they started in Berlin, Germany in 1919, but they were a Jewish family who ended up immgrating to Israel in 1933, opening their store there, and expanded locations throughout Israel. Their history in Toronto & North America (including some in the US) is much more recent since opening in 2017. Unfortunately, my closest is New York City; none in Maryland or DC area. This location is in busy downtown Toronto. We sat outside on their big patio area as the weather was warm and could enjoy the view of the buildings, people, cars, etc. Server was friendly answering our questions. I ended up getting an egg benedict with salmon in a croissant. It was creative and delicious take on egg benedict. The only issue was it was messy to eat in the croissant, but I didn't care as it was so delicious. My girlfriend got a Belgian waffle with blueberries, whipped cream, etc. It was unique and very good & sweet too as I tried a bite. Overall, this was a 5-star experience with great food, service, & atmosphere.

We sat for a while and no one took attention (we were outside and they were busy but no excuse for them -- they should do better). We had folks come in and out and were somewhat nonchalant and not attentive. Food: This was the great part of the experience. - Berries and Granola with Greek Yogurt: My brother in law got this an he devoured it and said it was great. - Farmers Breakfast: My wife got this and she LOVED it. She went back to get their Halwah Latte (which she said was just OK) - Egg white Omlette Skillet: I customized my food and it was good -- for reference I've had better only because the cheese was feta and it was unclear that this was the only option as I don't love feta. Also I'm pretty sure while I asked for egg whites there was normal egg (i.e., eggs). If you order egg white make sure the server hears you. They screwed this up for me. This is why I'm giving it three stars -- I could have made a stink but didn't think it was necessary to do so. All in all -- I'd recommend this spot to folks but don't go there thinking the service will be great.

It has a clean, almost cafeteria feel which doesn't do a lot for the experience but at least provides confidence in the food quality. Service is friendly and professional, however it doesn't offer table ordering so you order at the counter and the food to your table. They advertise "Wheatless and Meatless" so as well a gluten free baked goods they offer many alternatives to popular brunch staples like bacon and eggs. I had the Breakfast Bowl, a beautiful medley of guacamole, pico de gallo, sweet potato, roasted mushroom, organic kale, black beans and tofu eggs. It was delicious. Have to admit, not exactly sunny side up eggs over a couple of slices of bacon, but it did taste great and I actually felt good afterwards. My daughter had the avocado toast which was served on a seed and oat toast. Spectacular dish, really tasty and gorgeous! I'm a black tea drinker and an added bonus is that they serve one of the best I've had (other than in my own kitchen). Will definitely be back, and they cater so next time you need to serve a lot of vegetarian celiacs you'll know who to call!
