You know how kids have to get up and dance or run around after eating? That's how you feel when you eat at Impact: there's so much powerhouse nutrition and stellar flavor on your plate it makes you want to jump up. We've been twice and this is hands down the best lunch bowl we've had in Toronto. The Asian Slaw tastes like pure excitement. The Maverick is a stack of broccoli slathered with delectable pesto with slides of fresh bruschetta, avocado and sweet spuds. Last time we had the amazing warm root veg mash with micro greens, beets and avocado smash. Also tried an immunity juice shot and a matcha latte with almond milk (made in-house and tastes healthy.) It's definitely pricy but you get what you pay for, and what you're paying for at Impact Kitchen is super high quality local ingredients prepared with care. read more

See all

I love this place. If you want healthy, clean eating food in a nice big place to eat then this is your place to go. The salads are bomb, especially the warrior. I love the juices, the chicken soup, and especially love the chocolate collagen pudding and the paleo cookie. My only problem with this place is when you order chicken on a salad. Would it really kill them to season that chicken up a little more? The taste of the chicken with no seasoning is really harsh and eggy In the salad. Please season that breast with a lil Sumthin!!!! read more

I realize that healthy food comes at a premium, but these prices are outrageous. $12 for an 8oz bowl of chili is too expensive, I don't care how healthy. Most of the staff is friendly there, but they are definitely over staffed, perhaps why they have to charge so much. I appreciate having a restaurant with healthy options. Now we just need a couple more, to keep each other honest on pricing. read more

Seriously yummy food. Big portions and so delicious. Not cheap but well worth it. I had the Halo salad with some salmon. My husband had the venison stew and a citrus salad. Everything was incredibly tasty. Will definitely return!!!! read more

Not bad, has quite the selection of bowls to choose from. I will be back for sure to try their coffee and cold pressed juices. I got the Hero Bowl I believe. Tasty, but smaller portion then I was expecting for the price and I could go somewhere similar for a better deal. Also, some of the veggies were not fresh-which is something I would expect from this place. read more

Here, I felt appreciated. Good people good food, nice big tables and a beautiful orchid to greet me on my way in.

Excellent brunch with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend the waffles!!

AMAZING food and phenomenal service. I go here a lot but just had such a great customer experience so I had to give them props. They sell cold pressed juice, 2 that look very similar. I accidentally purchased the Black Out Green instead of the Black Out Lemonade and took a sip. When I explained what had happened, they were super understanding and offered me a smaller Black Out Lemonade on the house. I was taken aback by how nice a gesture that was! Additionally, everyone is super nice and I've noticed that they even get to know the regulars by name. I know some of the price points may be a bit higher than one might expect but it's so worth it. Thank you Impact! PS. The Black Out Lemonade, mango pudding, Easy Green Smoothie and the Maverick Bowl are FANTASTIC. As is all their food but those are my faves. read more

They charge ALOT for what you get. Like, fill the take away bowl if you are going charge $20 for a salad ($14 before a small amount of protein). Food seems very fresh, however, quite bland. They have a great bone broth and a tasty turmeric/citrus/coconut water drink, the small size is just perfect to get you back on your feet after a night of a few too many beverages. read more

This place has a very comfortable vibe. The coffee is very good and there is a very good selection of food offerings. We just stopped in for coffee and were impressed - we plan to come back again for brunch. read more

Never again, will I come here, the staff here is terrible. - I've been here a few time and have so-so service but never anything to stop me from coming in. Today, I ordered a simple cup of Oatmeal and waited over twenty minutes for my order. The best part is the server decided to go on break and took my original order with him on his break. He sat five feet from me and chilled with it on his table instead of doing his job. When I asked someone else what happened to my order, they tracked it down on his table and tried giving it to me! Who does that? read more

This has become my go to spot for healthy eating, from breakfast to dinner. If you are looking for healthy food this is the right place to visit! Also has free parking. read more

I have come here for breakfast and dinner, MUCH preferred breakfast. I ordered the Maverick bowl for dinner, and it was fine...but the broccoli was cold as though it had been steamed and stored in the fridge, which when combined with the (delicious) warm root vegetable mash and guacamole, was a wired combo of texture and temperature. I would have definitely preferred the broccoli to be warm. I definitely love the mission of this establishment so would come back for brunch/breakfast when in the area. read more

Love this place! Something for everyone no matter the dietary restrictions. A healthy and friendly spot. The vegan chocolate chip cookie and MCT bar are dangerously good. Fresh juices and bone broth are perfect snacks. I'm so glad this place exists! read more

I enjoyed my first experience at Impact Kitchen today. It is a great addition to my hood of Corktown. The food was fresh and tasty with lots of healthy ingredients. I definitely would eat here again. read more

A really decent sized meal with plenty of protein, no skimping on the chicken! I thought the juice was a little too watered down/watery - I couldn't really taste any of the greens. Overall worth a visit! read more

Impact Kitchen is a long-overdue addition to the neighbourhood and I am hooked on this place. The hours are super convenient - they are open until 9 in the evening so if you're getting home late from work you don't have to rely on delivery or questionable personal cooking skills with whatever is in your 'fridge. The décor is hipster meets Blade Runner, and the staff keep it super clean. The space is huge and there is usually a place to sit. The staff are pleasant and more than helpful. I have ordered the power breakfast bowl a few times now, sometimes for take-out, and it has been fresh, delicious and filling every time. It may not be a huge meal by volume, but the ingredients are fresh and healthy, and I'm not hungry until well after lunch. (I'm always hungry!) I have also tried the Maverick Power Bowls with chicken and falafel options, and was just as impressed. The in-house cashew milk is not cheap (around $12) but if you're in a rush it can be a tasty and healthy meal supplement. read more

I think they call it Impact Kitchen because it has such an "impact" on your wallet. The service is friendly, the ambiance is easy and the food is excellent, but it's definitely a splurge. read more

Impact Kitchen was a staple on my weekends...their oatmeal was creamy and delicious. The last two times I've been there have been very disappointing. I asked for the oatmeal and it was cold and the apples were raw. I went again today and ordered the oatmeal and specified to have it HOT and with COOKED APPLES. TAADAAAAAA.....cold and raw apple oatmeal. Refund please. They were nice about the refund. Never going back though...disappoint me once, shame on you. Disappoint me with your oatmeal twice...SHAME ON YOU. read more

Not a grab and dash kind of coffee bar, no sense of urgency, ambivalent staff, so don't expect to be in and out. Coffee is excellent if you have time to wait; I waited 15 mins in line for my coffee even while I watched people get out of line ahead of me and leave frustrated sans coffee. Only one cash register and one person operating it while two people running the coffee bar stood idle twiddling their thumbs. Absurd... read more

High quality food that is simply prepared and always tastes fresh. We have been 3 times and I'm always impressed.

Great food! Took our lunch to go and was impressed with the world quality and quantity. An bit pricy but totally worth it.

I've noticed a difference in portion sizes. Feeling like I get a bit more for the cost, which is great! Food is so good and breakfast menu is fantastic. Happy to have this spot in my neighbourhood :) read more

I go to Impact Kitchen to pick up their bone broth which has been cooked for 20+ hours and love to eat there as the food is fresh and healthy. Unfortunately the last experience was not the greatest for my friend. She ordered the pulled chicken as the protein and it tasted like the left over chicken from the bone broth that had been cooked for 20 hours. Totally bland and dry. The staff were not apologetic and asked us to add hot sauce instead. One of them even admitted that the chicken can get dry. This neighbourhood needs places like Impact kitchen but Impact Kitchen also needs this neighbourhood so they need to up their game. read more

Went to Impact for lunch today and it was fantastic! I had the 'lean bowl' with falafel and it was delicious. Service was fast, staff were kind and the space had a great atmosphere! I'm planning on going back tomorrow for a smoothie as they sounded unbeatable! read more

I love this place. Good quality, delicious, whole foods. I wish more places existed like this that offer bowls with a variety of healthy, comfort food ingredients...not to mention their chocolate sea salt gluten free cookies, that are perfection. I never miss a trip here when visiting Toronto. The staff always goes above and beyond to make sure customers receive the best quality experience -- they are friendly, helpful and accommodating. More just like this, please! read more

I wanted to try out this restaurant since their menu looked incredibly healthy and on trend (turmeric, bone broth, etc...). I thought this would be the perfect place for all my meet ups with individuals I meet on Bumble Bizz to learn about their careers. I go for lots of coffees with different people so I try something new every time! My fave so far is their Turmeric Late :) read more

Great space and decor but worst value for what you get. I ordered a hot chocolate with almond milk and it was like I was drinking ONLY almond milk, then I discovered that they actually make it with ganache. Honestly, the worst hot chocolate I've ever had. read more

We tried a Maverick Bowl and a warrior bowl and both were awesome. The proteins are really high quality and in my opinion 5 dollars for the steak is incredible value for money. We got cookies too which are gluten free and really good. Overall this is exactly what you want for a healthy meal that actually tastes good in a hip setting. read more

The food is very average if not poor and overpriced to boot. There are some items that are decent and the coffee is good, however I would not recommend it for lunch or dinner. Rarely have I been so disappointed by a meal. read more

Paleo, healthy, fresh. Love love love this place. Healthy bowls and fun paleo treats. Lots of seating and natural light. This place is a gem. read more

So Impact has a huge Impact on your wallet. Try ordering a lunch bowl with steak protein, plus a latte and dessert item. Fork out more than $30. Cant support this neighboured cash grab under the guise of good for you. Not good for your bank account! read more

Very busy place. Food is fresh, but it's hit or miss on flavour in some of the ingredients. Falafel balls are kinda bland chokingly dry. A bit pricey too. read more

I am baffled by how busy this place seems all the time - I honestly don't know who can afford eating here, are there really that many 20-something hedge fund managers in Toronto? Or do people just drink water and nurse their coffee for hours? I live right opposite and only go in when I literally have no food at home and am too hungry to order delivery. I had a salad with chicken which I ate in about 2 minutes and it cost close to $20. This was AFTER the manager (?) stepped in as and forced the kitchen to put more chicken in when he noticed it going out with a teeny tiny portion (yay for the conscientiousness btw!). It's a shame as I hate cooking and really appreciate the "clean food" approach. read more

Fantastic spot! I had the magic bar, protein balls, and a bowl with the blackened trout. It's fantastic food, very healthy, and service was great. read more

I've been here roughly half a dozen times since Impact opened its doors. I'm in the neighbourhood, I like their food and the vibe is nice. My only qualm is how long the food takes to be prepared. I understand everything is made to order, and while that's appealing to me, it's a mildly frustrating 25 minute wait for a dish that doesn't have any protein on it. I've noticed that the wait is consistently this long despite how busy they are. As someone who also works in food preparation at a busy downtown establishment, it's painful to watch them move so slowly without any sense of urgency. If someone is taking their dish to go, there's a good chance they have somewhere to be. I always ask myself upon leaving why I leave a tip on takeout service there. Hate to be a wet blanket but.. read more

Delicious!!! Tried the Zesty Mexican Power Bowl with chicken. Fusion of favours was awesome. Service was friendly and helpful. Left delightfully full:) read more

Brutal customer service. No greeting, no smiles. Manager is miserable and has no idea about regulars- turns me right off. There food is great but without the customer service, it makes me not want to got back. read more

good service. good selection. healthy choices like nowhere else that i know of. bit expensive. wish i lived closer. too bad brunch is done so early. read more

Comfortable & cosy seating and ambiance. Everything is a bit pricey for the portions offered. They have something good great on as a concept, hope they stay in business for long time. read more
