15/10 Impact Kitchen completely blew me away While visiting Toronto, my friend (who's vegan) suggested we check it out, and let's just say... we ended up ordering from here every single day for four days straight. That never happens. The bowls are on another level Fresh, hearty, perfectly balanced, and somehow healthy while still being insanely satisfying. Every ingredient was crisp, crunchy, and prepared with so much care--it didn't feel like "just a salad," it felt like a full-on meal that left you energized instead of weighed down. And the smoothies? Incredible They're thick, refreshing, and taste like the best version of clean fuel for your body. Pairing one of their bowls with a smoothie became the highlight of our days in Toronto. What's wild is that I hate eating the same thing every day... but for this, I'd happily eat here for a week straight That's how much it hit the mark. Honestly, I'd go back to Canada just to have these bowls again read more

Amazing and great food. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and quite nature of the restaurant.

Buh-ew. Boo. It's so easy to be disappointing these days. Why aren't businesses striving for excellence? Scene: meeting a friend for lunch. I'm early. I want a coffee while I wait. BUT, they don't take cash, and I don't want to use my debit card twice. Just a thing for me. So I go to the counter and explain: I want a coffee now, my friend is meeting me, at which time we'll be ordering food. May I pay for the coffee at that time? Here's my business card for assurance, (meanwhile, whatever happened to trust?). "No...I'm sorry, (they're not), we can't do that. Now, anyone reading this knows they absolutely CAN, but will not. Why make my experience here embittered? Why not just fucking TRY HARD to deliver satisfaction?? read more

Yet, it was the zesty Mexican power bowl ($15.50) that drew me in. Yes, it contained kale (not massaged so my least favourite way of eating the fibrous green), but also roasted sweet potatoes, red peppers, rice, and a nutty tostada crumble. It's healthy but filling. Filling indeed as I had to get the rest to go, which once augmented with more salad mix was enough for a second lunch. The bowl also desperately needed more sauce. Despite containing black bean mole, avocado, salsa, cashew sour cream, and a cilantro jalapeno dressing, the kale was still tasteless and dry. Impact Kitchen seriously needs massage and "marinate" the greens beforehand. The added falafels (additional $5.99) were dense and baked - lacking a crispy crust that makes these snacks delicious. As a falafel they blow but as a savoury snack ball they're not horrible. Thankfully, our server asked if I wanted hot sauce on the side, that mild chili garlic sauce saved the day. Even then, I could only manage having one falafel at the restaurant and couldn't get through the others until I had a creamy dipping sauce the following lunch. Impact Kitchen's display case of baked goods drew us in and were surprisingly delicious for being gluten free. While I could have done without the sea salt on the chocolate sea salt cookie ($4.50), this was easy enough to dust off. Soft and chewy with a deep cacao taste, the cookie is the closest thing to a "sinful" dessert you'll find here. The almond protein brownie ($4.99) tasted "healthy" and the texture a bit crumblier than a traditional brownie... likely on account of the whey protein powder. If you can withstand temptation, save some for the next day, as it became tastier as the flavours intensified. Their matcha latte ($5.99) was beautifully presented, incorporating a rich green tea flavour and a creamy matcha dusted foam. It was one of the better versions of the drink I've ever had. read more

Food is great. You can add grass fed steak or salmon or chicken, tempeh etc to your bowl. Almost everyone had the Hero bowl with additions. It was filling and everyone agreed they would return Service is set up where you order and they bring it to you. It's fine. Ambiance was great as they had a really nice patio in the back. I also had a paleo cookie and it wasn't too sweet which I appreciated I'd definitely recommend and definitely interested in trying more things there read more

Fresh wholesome food with an interesting gluten-free and healthy alternative spin! I also liked their outdoor patio. Superfood Benny (4/5) - generous salad, interesting take with the tapioca waffle under the poached eggs, and their hollandaise sauce looked from orange and tasted different from what I'm used to. Huevos Racheros - my friend seemed to have enjoyed it and said it was filling! read more

I live nearby, so I have frequented this location quite often. Impact offers fresh and wholesome foods that taste great. I have tried quite a few of their bowls. You can create your own, but currently I tend to go with the Zesty Mexican with chicken added. They make their bowls to order and the service is quite efficient. I typically order take out, but I have dined in a few times. There is ample seating, the place is clean, comfortable, and it doesn't get too loud. Recommended if you find yourself in the Summerhill neighbourhood. read more

Très déçues! Trop cher pour ce qui y est servi, par exemple 50 cents pour une motte de beurre qu'il faut absolument commander au comptoir, un mini morceau de pain, qu'il faut commander et payer en surplus, pommes de terre froides, à moins que ce soit le nouveau trend des intenses de la vitamine, mais bon... le latte est parfait. Vrm pas un coup de cœur read more

This is a pleasant find in this neighborhood. I did a pickup order this time. The weekend brunch menu looked interesting so I picked up the superfood benny with a smoked salmon add on. I enjoyed the salad and waffle. Poached eggs should have been runny as were on the solid side. They are on pan par with dine in options at this price point. What gives them an edge IMO is the fresh ingredients and the variety they used here. One can do a lot worse in this neighborhood for a lot more :) 3.5 stars. read more

I came here for a latte and to do some work. They have a delicious vegan cookie and oat or almond as alternative milks. I asked for the wifi password and got to work. I arrived at about 10:45 and by noon it was busy for lunch. It's a great place to meet friends or to do work. read more

A big no from me! Was super pumped for a fun family weekend brunch and this place certainly fell flat. The food is tasteless and overpriced. But that isn't what prompted this one star. The service was appalling. It started with the person up front taking 20 minutes to put in an order for 4 adults - not the biggest deal as he was new (we all have been there) and it's a weekend so we have all the time. Once seated and the orders started coming in - they were all incorrect with missing items throughout. We flagged it to the server but mentioned it's ok... just wanted to let them know. Five minutes later the server came to our table and started to obnoxiously, loudly lecture us on how to to order in the future. She said we added to much to our order (I'm talking extra toast here...) and the proceeded to say the person up front was confused because he heard other voices (I think she was referring to my two year old singing). Just to put this into context - I was the only one ordering for the group and the place had no one else there at the time. She continued to lecture us for the next 5 minutes until I asked her to politely leave as she was making a scene around children. A few minutes later she came by with a complimentary order of wedges. Making the whole situation that much more awkward... read more

I ordered a large Venison and beef stew. I thought the bowl lookd small before I ordered but it actually came full of a ton of meat so it's very filling. The flavour of the stew itself was ordinary. It came with the cider roasted potatoes but they came completely cold which isn't very appetizing as a potato. I'm glad the dish wasn't overly salted The space is clean and not cramped. It's the style where you order and then sit. $15 pls tax I wouldn't run back here but I would eat here again. read more

We found this brunch spot at the recommendation of a local and it did not disappoint. The grain bowls were tasty and the service was quick as it is fast-food style with ordering at the counter. read more

On Yonge st at Summerhill, this is an upscale coffee shop with juices, traditional and specialty coffees and teas. Nice selection of healthy food. Seating has a view of the street with a individual tables and a counter. Pleasant patio at the back. Nice spot to meet for lunch or a coffee/tea. read more

Great staff, very attentive, and personable. Beautiful space with ample room and seating area. The almond butter toast was delicious , and food was handled with care. Thank you for the great service read more

I really want to like this place. It has a beautiful space with a treed patio. Had an avocado toast and it's just bland on bland. Same thing with their vegan broth. I tried their other location downtown - same experience. read more

I wanted to love this place but it definitely fell short. The space is beautiful and I loved the outdoor seating and retail area. I was annoyed that pretty much all of the Power Bowls don't come with protein so you have to spend $14+ for a salad plus $5+ for protein. I ordered the Macro Bowl because it came with chicken but it was extremely sad - it came with, well chicken, sweet potatoes and arugula with lemon olive oil. The roasted veggie bowl is much more interesting but then if you want protein, it is about $21 (I got this previously on Uber eats). I personally think this is expensive compared to similar places in the area (i.e. Mary B and iQ Foods). My husband got the farmer's skillet for Sunday brunch and assumed it would be on a bed of potatoes ... there were literally THREE potatoes. We assumed they forgot the potatoes at first so they were kind enough to bring us FOUR potatoes on the side. Also it came with only one egg ... These portions are just sad (especially for the price). A skillet would generally imply that the base was potatoes ... but here it is arugula ... I guess it is healthier but should be renamed "salad" or "power bowl". Since our meal was less than satisfying, we got a raw cookie which was tasteless and the sea salt chocolate was amazing. read more

Lunch (at least on weekends) doesn't start until 12:30 which is the worst. This is a family neighbourhood where people are ready for lunch at 11:30am so the mediocre, over priced breakfast selections don't work for me and my family. I will be going to freshii down the street to get my lunches until they change their lunch hours. read more

Amazing back patio! Love this spot in the neighbourhood for a good healthy bite. Portion sizes are good and more fresh than alternatives in the area. Baked goods are delicious, like the dark chocolate sea salt cookie, banana bread and energy bar. The service is also fantastic, they anticipate what you need before you ask! read more
