I only became a fan of Freshii a few months ago, and now it's become a staple in my on-the-go diet. Even though you can track these places down easily I was quite happy to find out they were opening a location two minutes from my house.
They're right below the new Globe & Mail offices, which is going to be a rapidly changing intersection, but for now is pleasant and relatively quiet. With that comes a very spacious sidewalk that's also nice and bright during the evening. Staff is always polite and quick, so no complaints about the service. Ritual is even better when you don't want to mess around. I've always got take-away here, but it's a spot I would hang out in. Lots of seating options whether you're alone or some pals, and (being a new spot) the restaurant is quite clean.
Salads, bowls, and burritos are all good. It's got that fast-food vibe and quality, but I don't feel like garbage eating anything there. Smokehouse burrito is usually my top choice, though I gotta start getting them to press it longer -- it's never hot enough. Mediterranean bowl is probably my favourite -- the feta cheese and quinoa mix so well together. Make sure to throw some chicken or tofu on there!
Good food, decent prices for a healthy spot, great location. read more
