Had a Maple Squash bowl from them and it was delicious! Loved the ingredients and proportions. Would go back. Their chocolate chip cookies are top tier too. Only downside is that it's a bit on the pricey side with bowls starting at about $17 each. read more

ooooooh this spot is good. Lima chicken Bowl is my favourite order. Cajun Salmon and veg is a close second. But the EVERYTHING TOAST is almost too good. The amount of times I've ordered this is staggering. Like how is this so good! For sure will be by soon for another order. Thank you IQ read more

I had the grilled salmon bowl. It had one small piece of salmon. Don't go here if you need some significant amount of protein. Or at least don't order the grilled salmon. Maybe the other dishes have more protein . My other complaint is that the broccoli was barely steamed at all. It was basically raw. If you like raw broccoli, that is fine. But if they are going to bill it as steamed, it should be noticeably softer than raw. Salad dressing, avocado and sweet potato and pickled cabbage were good. Watch out for the stuff that looks like green bell pepper. It's actually jalapeño. It is easy to avoid if you're not into hot stuff. read more

I wanted to like this place as it had a nice fresh vibe but the food was somewhat uneventful. I got the avocado toast with egg. The toast was fine, the avocado was fine, and the hard boiled toast egg was... fine. It seems to be a place for working professionals to grab something quick but heathy on the go but for $11 I could get the same thing in LA but so much better. Additionally, the staff seemed kind of over it. read more

Really good quinoa bowls and the chocolate chip cookies are delicious too. They can be crowded at lunchtime. Order ahead

I was searching for quick, healthy, and reasonably priced, and found it here! The avocado toast is divine, the bowls all look delicious and extremely healthy, and the espresso is wonderful. They also have super healthy smoothies. I had the almond brothers smoothie (almond butter, almond milk, banana, dates, and vanilla) and was also utterly in love with the texture and taste. A classy joint with high ceilings and happy people, I'll be sure to return next time I'm in Toronto! Note - they are cash only read more

Excellent salad-y food, try the smoked salmon. I tried this place at the York & Bremner as I was in downtown during lunchtime. The place looks cool and earthy, inviting, casual. There were a few people, mostly dressed in formals, so this is probably a popular lunch spot for office goers around here. The menu is short with limited food options. I ordered an avocado sandwich with smoked salmon. The food bar where they prepare the items has a slanted mirror on top so you can see the entire array of items and the food being scooped out and readied. After a 7-10 minute wait, what I got was a small piece of toast loaded with a small mountain of fresh avocado and topped with mouth watering smoked salmon. I hopped out to the patio to watch the downtown pass by as I downed my lunch, all the time wondering why I haven't tried this restaurant earlier. The cost can seem a bit pricy but the quality justifies it and then, it is also the location. I'm kicked about trying some other food options and definitely the smoothies on my next visit. A must try if in the area, at least the avocado sandwich with smoked salmon, this one I can vouch for. read more

I noticed a lot of IQ Food locations on the Bunz app, so I was curious to try my app and see if they will accept my cryptocurrency. When you walk in they have sounds on the PA that makes it fuller and more crowded than it actually is...so with the ambience, we found it was a bit tough to speak over it. I guess it is comforting when you're eating alone. We order the first two bowls on the top of the menu. The one with salmon was fishy. It was not fresh, it had a texture from frozen. Under the bowl there was brown rice. The Piri Piri had white chicken but it was dry. I did not really like the bowls, just the feature protein did not taste great, it just wasnt fresh, it was not well prepared. The protein is served with light veg more like decoration and the main feature is really the brown rice at the bottom -which is what ends up filling you up. The smoothie had a good sweetness but it was watered down. It could be from the greens or they added water. One size only. The matcha was good flavour, serves one size. Food is served cafeteria style. The way the location charges item by item I guess it can help with omissions on orders, but it also makes it quite difficult to budget your spending on the spot. I saw something disturbing, the girl preparing in the prep kitchen area was constantly scratching herself while wearing her food prep gloves. Occasionally shes on her cell phone. And prepping food....I understand the gloves are just for appearance. I didnt see her washing her hands after scratching herself or touching her phone. :/ Location accepts Bunz and charges tax in cryptocurrency. See photo off receipt. I've rated this 3 stars. For the following reasons. - the feature fish was fishy. It was not fresh, it tasted from frozen. It was just coated with stuff or really was not recognizable on the dish. - the chicken protein was white, it was dry. It was whole chicken no substitutes like protein though. - the smoothie was water down in taste. - the veg in the dish were not limp but I wish there was more, the rice outshined it. - value, I did not see the value in it. I am just recalling that a Reuben goes for $15 in Pickle Barrel and you can always substitute the fries for a salad.... so I am conflicted to buy a bowl of rice with veg side garnish and poorly prepared protein for $15. I think $5 to $10 for this size would be more appreciable because healthy does not need to be pricey. - also the salmon bowl, it was smaller than the piri piri. Inconsistency in size, they just loaded blue corn chips in the bowl, I expected more value when I picked the pricier dish. -I didnt really appreciate seeing how the food was prepped, girl dont scratch your body and touch your phone while prepping food. Come on! I might give another franchise location a try. I hope the girl in the back refrains scratching herself and touching her phone while prepping customer orders. read more

Our company orders team lunches frequently from IQ, which we thought to be a fresh and healthy option. On May 6th we placed an order and found bugs in the salad of one of our team members. After emailing IQ we have yet to even receive an apology or even a response from their team. It's unacceptable to think that veggies are not being washed as they should be. Do better IQ and at least acknowledge your customer's concerns. read more

You may think salads/vegetable could not be substantial or filling; healthy food won't be delicious. However, IQ Food will change your mindset. Recently I am changing my lifestyle to be more healthy. IQ is very close to my office; I would go there to get my lunch after exercise. The menu is very simple and they listed all the ingredients on the board. At first I would wonder why people would pay over $10 for salad, but once I tried it I would understand why. The ingredients are very fresh, the proportion of each ingredient make a very balanced favour. I like they put the sauce on the side, and I usually put 1/3 of the sauce only since it is most of the sodium and sugar coming from. The meal indeed is filling and I don't need an afternoon snack. It worths to mention their coffee is very nice too. It was first introduced to me as a nice coffee place from my coworker who is an European coffee drinker. read more

Tasty salads and coffee! I love how they have seasonal boxes featuring local ingredients which, when combined expertly together, taste amazing. The boxes themselves cost less than $15 (still a bit pricey) and service is pretty quick and efficient. I've only gone to this location as it is the only one open on the weekends. Both times it's been pretty quiet. The last time I was here I ordered the 100k box! I think one of my fave seasonal boxes. All the ingredients went so well together and it was a great healthy meal that didn't feel heavy on a hot summer's day. Will be back for more if I'm around the area. read more

Solid, solid healthy food and drink options with a spacious interior and chill vibe. Look forward to going back! I recommend the Lima bowl (the spicy sauce is conveniently served on the side - and man is it spicy!) and a ginger kombucha. read more

First time coming to iQ! Staff: Was super friendly! Welcomed us here for the first time and gave us good recommendations to eat. And the food arrived very quickly about 5 mins within ordering! Food: Some of the ingredients are grown locally from Ontario, they are listed on the pamphlets! I ordered a Lima and Sparta bowl both of them came up to $28. They use very fresh and quality ingredients but for the portion size and the price for a student it is a bit too much. Maybe if the bowls were $10 flat for students I would go much more often! Space: very open, there are tables for you to eat and work at the same time. They also have a nice coffee, latte, and tea bar! read more

I went to this place with my healthy-eating friends. I like the food here. For around 10 dollars, you got a salad with a piece of meat. I am not vegan and I want meat. The salad is incredible tasty. I don't usually choose to eat raw food or salad for lunch, but I would not mind eating here. Tip: order online during rush hours My favourite: lima and spicy salmon read more

I wanted to try out this place because of the average 4 stars review. Honestly very shock of how much I didn't like this place. I ordered sababa, which is the box that comes with cauliflower. I'm surprised how much it costs, over $13 after tax. But oddly as a main ingredient, there's only few small pieces of cauliflowers. Also I didn't like their homemade salad dressing. The build-in kale is $2.21, even I didn't want it, but I didn't know I can get rid of it and the box would be $2.21 cheaper. The ambience is quite off too. Seems to be a place with nice and high-end deco but also weird music playing at the background. Would not recommend. read more

This place is right in my work building at 18 York PWC building. The food is healthy here. I usually order here st least once a week. I usually get the Lima box which has rice, red cabbage, cherry tomatoes, avocados, white cheese and chicken or the salmon box is pretty good as well. It's a bit pricy but very tasty and healthy. There's locations everywhere. This place gets packed after 11:45am. Usually when I want to not wait in line I get my food at 11:30. I was told of you go around 2 pm they're trying to get rid of the food so your get bigger portions. When you go during rush hour the portions are smaller. read more

My bosses and I ordered from this location via Hurrier on a Tuesday evening around 6:30 PM. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't great. As per my other in-person visits to iQ in the past, the overall product had potential for greatness but, when considering the experience in the aggregate (including price point and value), it was very sloppily put together and left us sorely lacking. We ordered 2 Limas and 2 Spicy Salmons with very diet-specific requests on the Hurrier order (i.e. quinoa to replace the brown rice in the Spicy Salmons, and no avocado in the Limas). While the Limas were fine, the Spicy Salmons came with, wouldn't you know it, brown rice - something that wasn't part of anyone's diet. There were no napkins in the delivery bag, cutlery haphazardly thrown in, boxes slightly ripped at the edges and sloppily put together. The boxes also weren't labelled, so we had no idea which order was which, and which order belonged to whom. Considering the price point, it was a really disappointing experience. The ingredients were indeed fresh, but the portion size was also quite small - overall, it isn't the best salad you can get in the Financial District. You can take your money and put it elsewhere, if you're looking for value, quality, and above sub-standard service. For 4 meals, we paid around $62 (included any Hurrier fees, for those ordering through the app). read more

Folks we have winner on hand here if you are tired of mundane food court offerings that leave you bloated and unsatisfied this place will not only satiate your food craving you will come out feeling light and not bad on what you had. My friends kept on recommending this place to me for the past few months and these folks are what you health conscious eaters (read health food deliveries and reading of all the ingredients, calorie counter etc. etc.) and they enjoyed their food so much that even cancelled their pricey food delivery service and tend to have an almost daily meal at this spot. With so much pressure on moi the expectations were sky high, I was expecting something a tad better than food court offering which I avoid like a plague and just another health craze. I am happy to report this place works I felt full after the meal I had here and still felt light. I tried their bellwood box and it was fresh and full of so many ingredients that I am curious to know what their food costs are as surely with that much on offer it will be on the higher side of the spectrum. Not overwhelming by any means I would describe it as a very hearty salad. We came here in the evening and my friends had their menu options picked already (the sales person even knows them by name now) and good thing for regulars is that they have their regular menu and seasonal offering so one wouldn't get bored. I would recommend that if you are within the vicinity and part of the lunch crowd you owe it to yourself to give this place a try. 4 Stars! read more

I often go to this location to fulfil my weekend cravings for healthy takeout options. The place is pretty quiet on the weekends. There is enough space to sit and enjoy your meal and hang out with friends or family. The service has always been consistently awesome. Everyone that works here is very friendly and helpful as well as incredibly efficient. The restaurant has a pretty decent range of healthy offerings including small, sweet and savoury snacks to large meal boxes or smoothies. My personal favourite snacks are the sprout & trout (very light but pricey), as well as the incredible CRACK CUP which looks like a giant reese's peanut butter cup but does not taste like one. It is filled with dates, chocolate, and nuts and it is definitely one of my favourite desserts. I have also tried the raw cacao & almond smoothie which is a sweet, light, and refreshing beverage made with almond butter, almond milk, bananas, and raw cacao. My favourite meal box is cobb off guard which has goat cheese, cranberries, chicken, and onions. I find this box is lighter than other box options but very tasty! When I am looking for something heavier, I often order the sparta box which consists of your choice of grains (which can also be replaced by greens), chicken, onions, feta, and tomatoes. All boxes were filled with fresh ingredients and were of a good sized portion. You can add any ingredient to your box (for an extra cost) as well as make substitutions for grains vs greens or vice versa. This place is a good option if you are in the area and looking for a healthier alternative for your next meal. read more

Tired of Starbucks for coffee at Southcore Financial Center? iQ Food is just a few steps away. iQ has only a few coffee choices, including lattes, americano mistos, flat whites, etc, but the coffee that they produce is excellent.

Really enjoyed my experience and meal here. Stopped in before an event at the ACC with my momma bear for a quick, healthy bite. I got the spicy salmon salad (bowl?) and my mom got the sparta option along with a hot tea. Ingredients were super fresh, very tasty and pretty reasonably priced (about $30 for two meals with two beverages). Would absolutely return if in the area and recommend if you are looking for something yummy and not super bad for you too ;) read more

such good food and service! fast too. always a go to spot for a health bite. on my way to work or lunch break... can't go wrong.

Pros: + Chic ambiance, very clean, there's a few sit down spots + Food is yummy, very healthy, fresh, high quality ingredients + they put the sauce on the side by default Cons: - The value is bad. The portion is small for how much it costs Other: + No cash, only debit / credit / phone read more

Super delicious. Spartan is my go to meal! Just wish their portions are bigger or have an option to order reg. & large size!

Solid 3.5. I've been going to IQ for quite some time now. From experience I have not ventured far away from the Lima or Sparta as the other lunch boxes which I have tried were not very good. For $10 dollars a box it's a pretty solid choice for lunch however they have recently increased the price of all their menu items and I feel that the size of the portions has decreased with time as well. What you can expect from the IQ if you get the Lima or Sparta is a well balanced lunch with your proteins and veggies that you probably should have and/or could have made at home for lunch for a lot cheaper. If your going to have IQ for lunch, 12:00PM is when the line is the longest so I would suggest waiting 15-30 minutes for a faster line queue. read more

Okay so the gist of this downtown lunchtime healthy food staple is seasonality and sustainability. So when you come here your colon will thank you and you will find the menu creative and full of interesting combos. On the downside your wallet will not thank you. It's expensive for a casual lunch hour at work. If you are budget conscious, I would only come here for their hot drinks and soups when you are needing nutrition to nurse a cold/flu. There is a juicery beside them with juice shots containing oil of oregano, etc... that are also useful for getting your immune system back on track. read more

The hipster vibes are strong with this one. Average rating due to high price point. I arrived for lunch on Saturday afternoon and managed to get a seat with guests (can't imagine how busy this place must be on weekdays). Rustic/industrial themed interior is as Liberty Village as it gets, but I won't hold that against them. I'm skeptical about the freshness of the ingredients used here. The roast chicken in my salad was definitely on its way to a better place (not in the danger zone yet, but decidedly stale), and the cream formed a thin skin on top of the coffee...hmmm. The staff seemed somewhat bemused by the sight when we asked for a fresh cup, so it made me wonder if they're used to that. Portion sizes are decent and we left satisfied, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to return here again - it's a case of A+ idea, B for execution. I would go here again if the only other choices were fast food. On the plus side, the gender-neutral bathroom was sparkling clean. read more

This place is a little too tree hugger for me... had a brown rice with chicken and assorted veggies, in some spicy sauce. It definitely seemed like it was on the healthy side, but didn't really taste that great- was expecting the chicken and rice to be warm, didn't taste right cold. read more

I really wanted to like this place, so I came back for lunch. I am upgrading them to 3 stars because the Lima box and date cookie were both good, and service was quick. I am hesitant to upgrade them beyond 3 stars because their Iced Americano and Blue Magic Smoothie were completely disappointing. I ordered an Iced Americano, Lima box sans cheese, and date cookie. The Iced Americano was super disappointing. I didn't think it was possible to make disappointing coffee (I am not a picky coffee drinker), but it is. I asked if they put anything in it, because it looked light brown (like iced tea), and they said they didn't. It tasted more like water than coffee, so I was able to put 2 and 2 together. Come on, guys. Pilot Coffee is highly revered by my hipster friends, so it's a shame I wasn't able to really try it. The Lima box was good, a solid 8 out of 10. If you're going to get it, keep in mind it's pretty spicy. They were good about accommodating me, as I can't have dairy, so they omitted the cheese and gave me extra avocado instead (at their suggestion). That was nice of them. The date cookie is apparently a bestseller and sells out quickly, so I had to try one. It was pretty good. Soft, tasty, not too sweet. My friend ordered a Blue Magic Smoothie, which she has had before, and was disappointed. It didn't taste like it did the first time, was thin, and tasted like nothing but lemons. Verdict: I'll be back for another box, maybe the spicy salmon,or cookie, but I will never order another beverage here because based on our experience, they are inconsistent at best, and disappointing at worst. read more

Awesome place. Have ordered probably over a dozen times from here and it's consistently very well done. It's a bit expensive but usually fills up two of us and is very good for you. Makes you feel better while you eat it. Love the sauce in the lima bowl, especially the new jalapeño vinaigrette. My only feedback is that It would be a lot more clean if you left the sauces out of the box themselves. I have no idea where those sauce cups have been snd who has touched it so the fact that it's literally sitting in the food is a bit worrying. 5 star food 3 star packaging. read more

I like IQ and have enjoyed the Wellington location. Unfortunately, the service at this York location is substandard, sloppy; simply not on par with the quality/ethos of the food.

I love, love, love this place!!! Fresh food and smoothies and teas and espressos. My dream! I had the Blue Magic smoothie which was delicious but I would've preferred a bit less almond butter in it. I also had the lentil soup which was piping hot and totally hit the spot. Finally, the star of the meal, which was the Apple Cobb salad. It was divine. It has chicken, apple, cheese and other goodies. I finished the meal off with a chocolate brownie, which is very good and very chocolate-ty but after a couple of bites, it became too chocolate-ty for me and I had to put it away (and I'm a chocolate fiend!!!!). All in all, a great meal. The portion sizes don't seem big at first but I was very, very full (and only got through half the smoothie). I will be back! I wish it opened a tad bit earlier so I can grab a smoothie bowl for breakfast :) read more
