This Freshii location is a bit odd, you walk down a large flight of stairs to enter, and there's little natural light inside. As for the food, it's nothing to write home about - as usual for Freshii it's overpriced bowls that typically consist of 70% grains, and skimpy amounts of protein unless you pay a lot more to double it to a more reasonable amount that will keep you full for longer than 2 hours. It would also be nice if the ingredients were a little fresher. Overall not a great experience, and there are a couple better options in the area for health-conscious food. read more

Freshii - a bowl of salad with a laptop in the background - Vegetarian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The frozen yogurt is great especially when you having it with a friend! Would not comment on the services since the 2 girls are kind of indifference.. no welcome, no thank you...no smile... The yogurt toppings selections is great! I have the blueberry and mango and the fruits are both fresh. You sure that it is really LOW FAT?? Or it is a trick?? This tastes so rich and yummy! read more

If you're looking for a relatively healthy fast food option, there aren't too many choices in the neighbourhood, or anywhere in general. I do come here for the slightly over priced "bangkok" burrito (Brown Rice, Roasted Chicken, Carrots, Cucumber, Mushrooms, Bean Sprouts and peanut sauce) for $7, which is tasty for the most part, but nothing to write home about. I don't get coming here for a salad when there are several markets in the vicinity. But this place is busy during lunch hours and there is usually line up of girls coming out of their yoga classes. The frozen yogurt is ok, but there's homade icecream just around the corner at xococava! Yeah yeah.. it's not frozen yogurt but it's a billion times yummier. If this was a singles pick up joint, I may give it a higher rating as it easily has a ratio of 3 to 1 women to men, but it's not so it gets a Meh. read more

I had lunch here the other day because I was between meetings and there didn't seem to be that many quick yet good places around to grab lunch. First impressions were not good. You walk down a rather large and steep flight of stairs into a basement dungeon where it's unclear whether you pay first and then wait to have your food prepared (as is the case in the Freshii at Bloor and Islington where I usually go) or order your food and then pay. The dude at the cash kept calling out to me but I couldn't hear him because it's crazy loud in that dungeon. I finally got within 6 inches of him and I could finally hear that he wanted me to order first before paying. Okay. The order girl couldn't hear me and I couldn't hear her. Again, the acoustics are terrible in this dungeon and you're separated from the person making your food by a high shield of glass. Finally we managed to make ourselves understood and I got and paid for my Zen wrap. I'm very disappointed that they seem to have gotten rid of my favourite Spicy Thai Burrito. Very disappointed. My Zen wrap was not good. First of all, the other reviewers are correct. This place does shove as much lettuce as they can into your wraps at the expense of not having room for other things in the wrap and also at the expense of the integrity of the wrap. My wrap was split down the middle so it was very unpleasant and messy to eat. My wrap also barely contained anything other than the lettuce and spinach. There were a few scant pieces of broccoli, a few shreds of carrot, a couple edamame beans, and a meager amount of mango. Dressing? If there was any on this wrap, it was the driest, most invisible dressing I've ever come across. That's another thing that the other reviewers are accurate about: they do not want to give you dressing. Why, St. Clair Freshii? Why are you hoarding your dressing? Are you saving it up for the apocalypse? Do you plan on bartering your hoarded dressing for medical supplies and zombie-slaying tools? Sheesh. Be a little more liberal with your dressing, dudes. read more

First visit and last visit. I ordered a bowl that was labelled as a best-seller on the menu board. Since the order card listed premium toppings with additional prices and then unlimited toppings with no prices listed, I thought I'd add a couple things. Sadly the order card is misleading. The "unlimited toppings" are in fact not unlimited and cost extra for each. I did choose to pay an extra $1 for avocado, but there were only a few small chunks which left me feeling disappointed and ripped off. The bowl did taste ok, and the ingredients were fresh and almost healthy but the price left a bitter taste in my mouth. It was essentially a big bowl full of brown rice with a few token veg thrown in with too much salt. I doubt I will ever return since there are so many other options in this city that offer more yum for less cash. Honestly... $11 for a lackluster and tiny lunch is quite ridiculous. read more

Before I went to this place, I was under the impression that a fast food, salad assembly line, should be fresh, tasty, and fast. But I was terribly mistaken. I gave Lettuce Eatery a fighting chance, frequenting the place on many a lunch hour, because nothing healthy was close by. But the place never ceased to amaze me. Despite its many workers behind the counter, almost always outnumbering the clientele, they just couldn't seem to get the food out. Going there was stress inducing because I was constantly having to stop myself from jumping the counter and grabbing the bloody ingredients myself. The only thing that kept me from behaving so erratically was the fact that the choices behind the counter were either wilted, tasteless, or just plain uninteresting. Unless you are in a self-destructive mood, and feel like trying your tastebuds or giving your patience a real run for its money, the place is just no good. read more

As gimmicky as this place is, I have to say I was impressed with the Oaxaca bowl. There is a good mix of fresh flavours and the addition of chicken and a squeeze of lime enhanced the flavour quite well. The only real downside to this bowl was that it had no heat (both temperature-wise and spice wise), which was disappointing given the expectation that comes with the name "Oaxaca". read more

Freshii - Vegetarian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

OK, I tried the wrap and WHAT A WASTE! Seriously, I got the tuna wrap and they literally must have shredded the tuna into tiny little pieces and then put a thimbleful of it into a giant stack of lettuce and wrapped that in a dry piece of cardboard and rolled it up. That's how bad the wrap was. I had to unwrap it and eat it with a fork and it was bland and bad. Don't get a wrap here. Stick with the salad. read more

Freshii is a nice alternative to the usual lunch fast food places around Yonge and St. Clair. I've never caught a line up longer than maybe 5 ppl so they're always fast to take your order. What I like best about Freshii is that you have a lot of options for colder days. Their rice bowls and soups are filling and come loaded with as much or as little as you want. Go for the custom ones to get the most out of everything they offer; that's especially important if you're counting calories. Some of their chef's menu items can pack in a lot of calories after they add bacon bits and heavy dressings. I'm giving it a 4/5 because they did get my order wrong twice before. But every time I would call them to let them know and they comped my next meal to make up for it. read more

Cheap, healthy food. Great wraps, interesting brown rice bowls, and an occasional frozen yogurt. If you're a sucker for membership cards keep in mind that it expires at the end of the month, so get your free wrap before it runs out. read more

I was on the way to a yoga class with Jennifer K. & only ordered a low fat frozen yogurt (strawberry & banana). It was so good! I will def. be coming back to try other things next time. Fast, decently priced. read more

Am surprised but not THAT surprised to see that Freshii's been getting some sub-par reviews. I read about the founder in a Globe & Mail article and was impressed and couldn't wait to try this place. My first one was the Bangkok Chicken burrito. $6.95, not bad...I was going to opt for the veggie since I'm not that big on meat but dammit, the veggie burrito cost the same if not more (definitely not less than), so I went ahead and ordered the Bangkok Chicken requesting "more vegetables than brown rice". It came grilled which I was impressed with. Then I ate it. Then I realized that there was A TON of brown rice and not enough veggies. Then I thought to myself, next time I'll just go to Booster Juice (which is literally 15 steps away) and spend $6.95 and be happy about it. Then a week later I went back to Freshii to give its Veggie Wrap a chance. It was about $7.95. Expensive, and my mind wandered over to Booster Juice again but I stuck to my guns. I even asked for tofu (an extra $1.50). The wrap arrived, I paid $9.52 for this thing. I ate it. I was incredibly unimpressed and felt extremely ripped off. There were veggies, a pinch-ful of chick peas, sun-dried tomatoes...my tofu. It was dry, no balsamic dressing like the menu said. It was gross-dry. Basically, it was all those things wrapped in a tortilla. Honestly, I could've just gone to Metro next door and spent $9.52 for a week's worth of this wrap. I could've spent $1 more and gone to Booster Juice for a Regular Drink Combo plus grilled sandwich. The good thing about this place is that I bitched on Twitter and they responded right away. I still have to email them about my experience before they decide to do anything about it. read more

Haven't been here in a long time but a co-worker convinced me to go with her for a quick bite and I am so glad I did! Two words - collard greens! I have been trying to eat healthier (outside of Yelp events that is) and cut down on bread and gluten products - well Freshii now offers collards as the sandwich wrap around your favorite "innerds". Tried the Buffalo Blue Chicken Wrap and was wow'd by the amount of flavour. Just enough heat from the buffalo sauce, with a nice hit of the blue cheese, before the surprise avocado cools everything off. Its $8 but this thing is as large and jam packed as any burrito and wrapped so well you can eat it one handed with out making a huge mess (although its so big you actually need two hands to eat it). Might split with a friend next time as it was a bit too filling for me - but I have now found my sandwich place of choice for those days when I dont want gluten. read more

Quite pricey for a salad and long wait times. Friendly service. Food is pretty good. They have delivery so I was excited to get healthy food delivered but they don't deliver to Yonge and Eglinton and the location at Yonge and Eglinton doesn't have enough staff working to deliver. What the heck? This chain is frustrating. It's a good concept but if they're going to offer delivery they shouldn't half ass it. read more

Freshii is a great discovery in the food wasteland of Yonge & St. Clair. Except for the Charity Juice bar beside Good Life (where my friend Drew works) there is no option for a flourlesss meal that is to go at this $. They have my standing order & when they see me 2-4x's per week ~ on it goes. I get double veggies & all the fresh (3kinds) of lettuce they can pack in - to squeeze the top down! Its a great high energy - low protien meal. With my work, gym, home & meeting's in the area ~ I don't feel so left out! read more

Healthy food gets them up to three. At least the food tasted real, and not very processed. As a person who takes healthy food very seriously, this is important to me. That being said, the Freshii Bowl I ordered was a little heavy on the brown rice, and didn't have enough veggies or protein to be perfect. All in all, it was good. It tasted great. The problems are twofold. I was in there for half an hour to forty minutes. During that time, there were two songs on rotation. Two songs. It's enough to drive you insane. Sure they were decent indie rock tunes but man, I must have heard them each seven or eight times. The other problem is their gift cards and their stamp cards. The stamp cards are only good for a calendar month, so if you are lucky enough to start on the first, and eat there all the time, you might get one (maybe two if you go every other day) loyalty reward meals. It's hardly worth carrying the card. Their gift cards expire pretty darn fast too, like 3 months or so. I had a fifty dollar gift card I almost lost out on. But.... at least it's not deep fried or made from mystery meat. read more

There is little competition near by, allowing this freshi to continue despite being sub par. - They continue to charge extra for protein, pricing themselves too high. - They have attempted to copy the Kumfert and Kim menu and charge the same price. Problem is Kumpfert and Kim is far better. - Their rice is like a mush. - The ingredients are not the freshest and they skimp on the ingredients (beans, corn, tomatoes). - The Venue is ok with a park you can sit outside at down the street. Punch line is; Kumpfert and Kim should open up here and bring some real competition. Until then, the aroma cafe down the street is better value by a mile. read more

This place is usually good, but there is one glaringly obvious problem....the j3w woman. She likes to restrict the food quantity, mishear orders in an attempt to upsell you things like vegetables/protein and is generally out to make your experience less than satisfying. The other women who work there are darlings and are the complete opposite. I'd avoid ordering there when you see her. She stands out like a bad cold sore and once you see her you'll know. Aside from that, the food is great. I suggest the chicken chili. :) read more

I really wanted to like this place, as it is a convenient location coming out straight from yoga and rushing back to work. As the other have said, the food is incredibly underwhelming. It's a special gift they have. There is NEVER enough dressing in their wraps. PLEASE put more dressing in your wraps. I mean I get that you have a reputation of being cheap, but dressing is not an expensive ingredient. Thin it out! Add water! Anything! Underwhelming food, but good healthy ingredients (which is why I keep giving it another and another chance). Wraps are hard as cardboard. Manager is creepy and obnoxiously peacocks as he takes payment. Bizarre place. read more

If I could rate it lower I would. They don't make brrakfast at 11:56 AM but all you can see on the menu is breakfast. When you ask them to make something they make you something different. I asked for greens but got a rice bowl that looked like rice with BBQ sauce in a horrible mess. They charged me the price for a bowl. Then I said that I wanted a salad and they made me some spinach that looked like saucy vomit and did not even refund me for the difference between a bowl and salad. read more

Bland, boring, slightly overpriced food - how perfectly fitting for the Yonge/St. Clair corridor. Harsh, maybe, but I have given Freshii many chances and have never failed to be underwhelmed. It's healthy, I suppose, but just not very good. read more

I walked in there after my yoga class and had a salad with BBQ chicken. It was a pretty large portion with fresh mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and corn topped with chicken. Overall I think there are 4-5 of your daily servings of veggies and one serving of protein. Also, I enjoyed that the "healthy" greens came with the "junky" taste of BBQ - you get a taste of the guilty pleasure. The place is clean, service fast and friendly. Their cutlery and containers are very biodegradable. I like. read more

Menu is unnecessarily complicated and it feels a little condescending. I'm serious when I say, older adults with a high-school or college-only education, will be confused. You have to know how to read it properly and order it, in the proper order, and there are little papers to fill out. Also, the promotions are too strict and a little unfair. Right now they have a promotion with nearby gyms where you get 20% off your first purchase, 35% off the second, and then 10% off subsequent purchases. They meticulously verify your gym membership in their records and make sure you haven't already used the 20 and 35% discounts. So, new customers always get a better deal and existing clients. I would have rather seen a consistent discount card like 15-20% instead of these fluctuating discounts. After I used the 35% discount on the card, I brought in a new card so I could get the 20% off again, and they wouldn't let me. I found this arbitrary, because there's nothing on the website in Terms and Conditions which say "One card per customer fore the lifetime of the promotion.". When I go to a store and I have a pile of coupons, I expect to be able to bring a new one in each time and use it, unless the coupon specifically prohibits it. To round it all out, the Fiesta wrap I got was bland. They were also out of tomatoes, not just once, but twice. Evidently, their supplier had issues - well, maybe they should change suppliers temporarily? Tomatoes are a fairly staple ingredient. I will only go back, a) as long as the discount lasts and b) only if I'm in not in the mood for anything else in the area. One positive, is that you can order ahead with an iPhone app, also, another positive, is that the food, albeit bland, does indeed taste fresh. I have also been to the Washington DC store, and it was a better experience. read more

RIp-off! I bought a groupon that they refused to honour because their antiquated system (basically manually just crossing off a list, they must have crossed off the wrong one) said I had redeemed it when I had not! Other times I've been here because there are hardly any healthy alternatives in the neighbourhood and their topping quantities are pathetic. Their kale bowl literally has 2 shreds of kale and the rest is rice. Same on the salads, all the toppings sound great until you open your order and it's all lettuce! They parse out their toppings like its caviar! Try Druxy's in the St Clair Centre food court for way better salads that actually have toppings on them! read more

This "healthy" food chain has gone downhill in quality in the last couple of years. Toppings are sparse, frequently they are out of stuff too. Froyo is tasty though. Many more healthy quick stop restaurants have my vote! read more

Today I visited the Yonge & St Clair location and had questions related to menu items that contained gluten. The response I got from the female team member was "they're just vegetables". My response was to ask whether there was gluten in the salad items. Her response was to say "nothing has changed in the menu lately". Bear in mind, that I am not a regular at this location. I then asked whether there was gluten in the optional proteins. The female staff member adamantly refused to check whether there was gluten in the proteins. I explained that at another location there was a book with the list of ingredients that staff referred to. The employee stared at the list of menu items on the sheet that customers can select and repeated "nothing has changed". I told her I would take the salad without proteins. With such poor customer service I will go to the Summerhill location instead, where service is better. read more
