Since I had been doing a lot of walking and biking, I decided to replenish with a Matcha Collagen, surprisingly smooth with a balanced flavor that wasn't too sweet or grassy. It took almost no time for them to prepare the smoothie, quite efficient especially since there was a steady line of about six or so people. Some locations provide samples and promotions for their smoothies as well, so I had the chance to taste a dragon fruit smoothie which was alright. The only downside is it that their rewards program are tied geographically, so while there are a few of these outside of British Columbia, the program cannot be used for locations in the US. Hopefully they can combine them in the future.

( I totally understand the current situation regarding the Covid-19, but other online orders were still being delivered within their promised time frame and if they do not have orders in stock they would contact me to let me know and let me have the option to have the order cancelled and refund ). End of April and I called them to please refund my order since there are no way of them to let me know what is happening, called and spoke to customer service on Monday and was promised that the refund will be done within 2 days, a week later still no sign of refund, called again and was told they will look into my file and have "the best person that can help me" will call back within 5 mins., 2 hours later I am writing this review and no sign of any calls from them!

Also I caught a glimpse of their ingredients (e.g. the almond butter) and it looked like good quality almond butter (it's actually the same brand as the one we purchase for the house; Nuts to You).

They used to have a proper holiday meal program where you could pre-order, pick up, and feel like you were getting something special. I remember picking up a whole hot turkey with piping hot sides. This year, it's turned into a help-yourself setup from the Deli counter deli section where you grab items and pay. It feels less personal this year, less festive, perhaps, Thanksgiving came in really fast and perhaps not a lot wanted to do any advance food order. The food's okay for what it is, but the change takes away the polish where the food has generous servings before that made it worth it. Still a solid option if you're in a pinch, but definitely not the same experience Whole Foods used to offer.

We found this as our initial destination had an absurd wait, and we left satisfied and pleasantly surprised. I saw pics online of what appeared to be large, juicy, and crispy fried chicken sandwiches sporting local hot sauces as the secret ingredients, and that's what brought us in. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with the Hot Duck chili crisp on it. Upon the bartenders rec we opted for the extra hot, which was a good call because it didn't really pack a punch to us chili heads, but had great flavor. The chicken was juicy and crispy, and the brioche bun was so soft and fluffy. All around a good sandwich, but we found it strange that they only offered it with chips, and no upgrade to fries, which were available as an add on order. As we ate our sandwich and waffle fries we realized there was no smell of oil in the air or sounds of a fryer, which had us scratching our heads. We looked for a hood too and noticed none. Eventually we realized that everything here is commercially air fried, which was both fun to learn and somewhat surprising. If this place had a fryer, it would be SO much better, but considering this limitation, it was solid. The sauce selection was huge too. I loved that you could taste them all and that they offered some amazing deals too. We found a few that warranted us checking a bag on the way back so we could enjoy them on the other side of the border, and I'm stoked they offer online ordering and shipping so we can get some more when they run out. All in all a solid experience. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. As a hot sauce store, this is a 5 star experience, as a restaurant, also good but just have the right expectations.

I came in to check for a sauce my friend asked for but stayed for a bite! Did I mention that this place is cheap AF!? I don't know how they do it but it's incredibly affordable and the quality of food is impressive! I got their Veggies on Fire (Cheddar, lettuce, sprouts, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, pickles, red onion, banana peppers, Dijon, spicy mayo - Hot Sauce: Dawson's Shawarma). This was $8. Plus I added waffle fries, which I don't even care for. But these were heavily seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sandwiches come with chips but you can't miss the fries. You can choose which breads you want and I choose sourdough. Highly recommend that you toast that bread. The sandwich was huge and staked with so many veggies. The hot sauce was very mild but paired so well. The service was phenomenal! Above and beyond and so friendly. The place gets quite busy, understandable, and they are still so patient and friendly. I can't wait to try their extensive menu and order their veggie friendly menu options! And, obvy, their 1000 hot sauces!
