Tucked away in a corner near the Shangri-la hotel, it's cozy and has a large variety of options on the menu, from salads, breakfast yogurt, to sandwiches and soups. We got two sandwich combos to try: - Chicken breast sandwich: Got this one with the potato focaccia bread. Mindblown that they had such niche options of bread (aside from typical sourdough and whole wheat that other places would offer)! The goat cheese was so fresh and the chicken was juicy. 10/10 - Braised beef brisket sandwich: I'm not usually one who goes for braised beef, I usually find it very tough. But this was pulled apart and easy to bite through and the tomatoes and coleslaw were amazing and added to the juice. 10/10 Both came with a side salad. The salad itself wasn't extraordinary but obviously understandable to not overpower the sandwich, the star of the show. Service was friendly and the staff were very attentive. Only a couple spots for seating so would recommend takeout when it gets busy. It was also open on the weekends which is rare for food places located in business buildings. I don't give 10/10 lightly here. But this place was truly amazing, a very fair price, and if I worked nearby I think I would find myself here every day (I even came back another day to try a salad - also amazing). Hope they open more locations throughout the GTA!

They almost lost us on that first unstirred sip. All in all, good drink though

Summary: expensive salad with good ingredients…read more I tried make-my-own sandwich here. For half of small bowl salad, it costs me around $8, which is pretty expensive. The place was clean.

I probably would not come back again.

3.5 stars, but giving the 3…read more I did really like this location (and I LOVE their sandwiches), but all in all they have some improving to do. I'm not sure if this is a chain issue, or a franchise issue. Pricing here is high for what you get. A sammy costs $11.75 with a tiny, basic salad on the side. You get selection of bread, spread, protein,and 2 additional toppings. Each additional topping after this is a whopping $1.50. And the toppings are skimpy and very limited. The salads are where they really fail. They give an extremely low amount of greens to start off. This is surprising considering it's the cheapest item they put in it. You can then select from a long range of items to put in your salad - but be careful - instead of a fixed price, it's by weight. Most salads end up costing $10 and they are NOT filling. The Good: 1. Taste. Everything is fresh and delicious (especially for the sandwich). 2. Bread. The bread is fresh from Ace Bakery. Need I say more? The Bad: 1. Overpriced. The items, especially the salad, are high in price for what you are getting. 2. Tiny. This location is the tiniest hole in the wall I've ever been to! 3. Debit/Credit. There is a tip option on the debit credit machine which makes for an awkward interaction when you don't feel a tip is warranted. The food is already expensive enough without adding an extra 10-20% on top of it. Recommendation: If you have a bit of extra money for lunch and want a healthy option, stop by here and try the rosemary focaccia bread.

Quaint little lunch cafe behind an industrial plaza…read more Came here for the first time and I'd heard from a regular that pretty much everything is made in house. She says even the fruit is cut fresh (as opposed to places using the cheap syrup stuff from cans). I wanted to get a burger from the photos they had but it's a bbq Friday special. They were just out of whole wheat bread when I arrived after 2:30 so I settled for a whole wheat chicken Cesar salad wrap. Portion of chicken was good, and the toppings seem fresh. For some reason, there's something special about this place. I can't put my finger on it. They have wifi which is a plus! I think it's run by a family but I can't promise it is. They seem pleasant here which is a big plus. Yes, they have premade sandwiches there but there are other options there too for you to customize your sandwich. This place reminds me of a little sandwich shop I'd like to run one day.

SAVE YOUR MONEY! I…read morework in this area, and it's one of the only places to grab lunch or breakfast in the Wingold/Tycos area. I gotta be honest here- the management does NOT care IN THE SLIGHTEST about satisfying their customers. I think they changed owners a few months ago- and they were very sweet and accommodating. The new management there is entitled, rude, and do not know how to run a business. Their MEGA- overpriced menu should have been the first red flag. One time they tried to charge me $5 for a bagel with cream cheese and told me I was wrong when I asked about it. Then I had to do the math myself and present it to them (came to $2.29 or something with taxes). Did they apologize for attempting to overcharge me then told me I was lying about it? No. He rolled his eyes and cashed me out. Clearly trying to pull a fast one. I reluctantly have gone back a few times (like I said, there is not a lot of choices in this area). The other day I went in and ordered a sandwich. I asked what was on it, she mentioned 4 ingredients, and I said sure I'll have it. Got back to work and it had been PACKED with cilantro. I couldn't eat it. (If you also hate cilantro you know it RUINS a meal if there is too much). For an $8 sandwich, I walked back over and asked them if I could have something else, since I did not know this was going to be a cilantro sandwich, and it'd be nice since they made no mention of that before I ordered it. The "chef" there told me I was LYING again, that there is NO cilantro on the sandwich, and then had me dissect the thing IN FRONT OF OTHER CUSTOMERS. It was ridiculous. After all this I politely asked if I could just have something else instead, and I apologized for the trouble. I asked for a chicken cutlet sandwich, which they of course put together in a hurry and didn't bother to heat up the chicken. So it was a cold chicken cutlet with cold tomato sauce and cold cheese. Appetizing, right? It came to a dollar more then the other sandwich, so they asked me to come back with a dollar next time. Whatever. They're cheap, it's very clear. My next visit: I order a bagel, toasted with cream cheese. They didn't listen when I asked for it toasted and got annoyed when I had to repeat the request. While I'm waiting to be cashed out, the "chef" there ACTUALLY YELLS ACROSS THE RESTAURANT: "you didn't come back the next day with the dollar" IS THIS GUY FOR REAL? My response "you served me two terrible sandwiches in one day, wasted my lunch hour with continuing to screw up very simple orders, gave me a "hot" sandwich that was freezing cold, told me it was MY fault, and now you're bothering me about a dollar? This is will be my last visit here." He shrugged his shoulders and said "Ok" I hope the other patrons heard this. This place is only there to take your money with their overpriced, bland food- and they do NOT care about making their customers happy. Not one bit. YOU'RE BETTER OFF GOING TO MCDONALDS, YOU'LL DEFINITELY GET TREATED BETTER.

I was a little surprised at its popularity as its location is in a plaza with plenty of other eateries and chains. I ordered their wrap that came with a choice of soup, salad or chips ($10.15). They also offered many pressed sandwiches and salads at similar prices. The grilled chicken wrap looked delicious with quite a variety of fillings: corn, tortilla chips, black beans, lettuce and monterrey jack cheese with chipotle dressing. The portion was huge and each fresh bite had a nice crunch. Chunks of chicken breast filled the cold wrap but would've tasted better warm. It was still good. The spicy Thai chicken soup was similar to Tim Horton's. I felt they should've used a soup bowl instead of the styrofoam cup for dine-in at the eatery. Both items tasted mildly sweet (wrap from the chipotle sauce) and weren't spicy at all.

I've been to this particular location of Mandy's salad several times for their coffee and salads. Each time the service is great and the items are made at a reasonable time. I particularly enjoy the caesar salad and cobb salad! The vibes of this place can't be beat and the salads last me 2 meals. Overall, a solid place for healthy eats in the Yorkville area. The salad portions are huge, staff are friendly, and the space is stunning. A definite hit since it is also connected to several workout studios/wellness studios in the area. Will return for more if I'm craving a nice gourmet salad!

Long story short: I came here on Monday around 10am and didn't receive the best customer service and the food I ordered was not the best quality for the expensive price tag. I'll probably never return here in the future. Their menu changed since the last time I came in (which was probably months ago). So I asked about the Turkish bagel with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and bacon. The lady at the cash suggested an item which was similar but it also comes with egg. I went with her suggestion and told her to also add bacon to my order. I even confirmed that I was okay with the egg that comes with it. My total came to almost $6 ($5.95?) so I thought, ok paying $6 for a breakfast style bagel, it should be good. But it wasn't at all. It was soggy even though the bagel itself was toasted and the bacon was over cooked and hard. *Keep in mind, this bagel at full price is actually $8.99+ tax (see below in my next paragraph for details why).* So for $10.16 after tax, I had expected a much better quality. I could've had a better breakfast bagel at McDonald's or Tim Hortons for half or even 1/3 the price. On another note, the horrible customer service I received was from the lady who served me at cash. After a gentleman made my order, I told him that it should have came with cheese and egg which he missed adding it in. The lady jumped in and said that I didn't order that even though I confirmed my order with her when paying. Then she insisted that I pay an extra $3+ tax for the egg since apparently what I wanted is actually $8.99+ tax. I told her exactly what I wanted in the beginning and even confirmed with her a second time when paying. She was also the one who made the suggestion... so I don't understand how she kept fighting that I needed to pay $3+ tax extra and how she kept saying that I was in the wrong. If you're working in a customer service environment, making them feel like they're in the wrong even though they weren't, isn't professional at all and will lose customers like me.
