Got the green smoothie then tried the smoothie bowl which is a smoothie with toppings of fresh fruits and granola, kinda like an açaí bowl but not as sweet and more healthy. I knocked down one star bc the pricing on the menu above was wrong. They need to update the pricing on the board to match what they actually charge. Otherwise, workers are somewhat friendly and smoothies are bomb.

Points for presentation and quick, friendly service. I didn't order ahead and waited less than 5 minutes for my order. The bowl was a filling, good-sized portion. Not much seating inside (though all spots were available). Seems like a tasty, reliable choice for one's smoothie bowl & I'd definitely come back!

I ordered the Tuscan Kale wrap (kale, sweet potatoes, quinoa, broccoli, chickpeas, onions, basil pesto, hummus, cayenne, tortilla) in a gluten-free wrap, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful wraps I've ever had! The ingredients tasted super savory and fresh. I also tried the Coffee Date smoothie (cold brew coffee, almond milk, banana, peanut butter, raw cacao, dates), and it was delicious. The atmosphere is cute, clean, and trendy, with a really welcoming feel. It's small with limited seating, but it wasn't overcrowded at all. I went with a group of three and we sat outside--perfect setup for a warm day with shaded seating and umbrellas. Inside, there were people working on laptops, so it definitely seems like a great spot to hang out or work remotely. Service was quick, warm, and friendly. Overall, such a great find. I'd absolutely come back.

Their sweets did look overly sweet and unsubtle and I opted against getting any. Their menu of breakfast foods didn't have much to my liking either. There were several breads available. I ended up liking the baguette, which browned nicely, but got a multigrain bread as well which was a little too soft to butter properly. I liked them, but I wasn't overly convinced that I needed to come here for baked goods given plenty of other options; the bar for specialness in a bakery is high, and Seylou this was not.

Prices are on the moderate/high for the city. We ordered a steak sandwich. It was very good. The meat was actually sliced pieces from a quality slab of steak with tomato, arugula, pickles, cheese & dressing in between crispy flatbread. The flavors all melded together perfectly in harmony. My son & I shared one. They were presented in nice pink boxes. I could have finished several of them. Overall, a nice place to have a meal but it is pricey. I do recommend it tho.

South Block has scores of options to choose from and I got the peanut butter & jelly. A+. I tried my fiancee's nutella amalgamation and it was just as good. I need to go back! We had such a great time enjoying it on the picnic tables outside. My only complaint was the acai bowl's were so good, our conversation was practically non-existent... we mostly just ate. They were filling, delicious, and broke my brain as to why I had gone this far in life without making this treat a regular in my pursuit of constantly enjoying the most toothsome dishes to be had. I need to go back. Soon.

This was fine on a nice evening, but left me wondering why their online ordering system defaulted to a fairly generous tip from a price that wasn't low to start.

We hoped to find a place that offered decaf coffee since it was late in the day, but really wanted something warm since it was a bit chilly outside. Unfortunately, this location of Toastique does not offer decaf - they only have a single hopper for their coffee, so it is not an offering. We were going to find another place, however, they said how about a hot chocolate or a tea. My friend is vegan and inquired if their hot cocoa was vegan, as most places have dairy in the chocolate. The cashier went to look at the chocolate syrup and also had another person look at it to verify it's vegan. My friend ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk. Even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes for her drink. We appreciated the effort to double check it was vegan, though I do wish they had decaf options.

The bread was too chewy, which made it difficult to bite off because there was no proper angle of attack since the toast was large. With that many toppings, it really should have been pre-cut, especially for a takeout order. I could not even cut it properly with the plastic knife they gave. Flavor-wise, it was fine but underwhelming. The salmon was good, and everything seemed fresh, but the overall balance felt off. The cucumbers were plain, and the toast leaned dry, like it needed more sauce or spread to bring it together. For $18, it felt like a ratios problem more than a quality problem. Overall, it is not bad, but I left a little underwhelmed given the price.
