Why can't they never open on time. 7am they are suppose to open. I got here before a meeting and they are still not open. Blasting music and just moving around slowly. Why have opening hours if you never open at those hours? Completely unprofessional and frustrating. Finally opened at 7:20am. Too late now for me to grab a bite. Just horrible. read more

Pumpernickel's - Still closed!! - Caterers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm so sad. this is my favourite restaurant and I started coming here but at the king E location. this location is a dump and they don't have anything, won't make anything you ask for like the basic schnitzel and they gave me all stale and freezing food. I came out of my way to stop here and I was excited but this sucks man. it actually ruined my day. they don't care at all here. my salad box I ended up getting was cold pasta that tasted like it should've been warm (it was red pasta sauce not pasta salad) and it was mixed w the 'beet salad' which is just huge beets that are so overbearing to eat even one scoop and then they gave me chicken and it's cold too. and it's all mixed together disgustingly in the same box. then the icing on the cake is that I ordered fries on the side bc I didn't want it mixed and they gave me stale fries. when I asked for their hot sauce (which is why I get the fries-- it's amazing at king location) they just gave me franks and all together I paid $27.52 for this piece of nastiness. also when I asked what's wrong with everything wrong here they said they just want to close and they closed at 1:30 but why? That's not closing time? How are they so poor at their jobs and not care so much and they only even worked like maybe 6 hours max? Y'all ruined my fav restaurant. When I tried to call no one answers phone. I wanted to show the chef or manager without confrontation by I'm shy and I understand ppl have bad days but damn. Can't believe I wasted almost 30$ and left literally sad and threw out the food. This ain't right. Please contact me if u can give a refund. My number is +14374434466 And my name is Luka. read more

Pumpernickel's - Sadness - Caterers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A great spot to get a bunch of food for the workplace. The food they had for us at work included a sandwich, a cookie, and a small salad. The sandwich was tasty and well seasoned but a bit dry. I needed to dip it in the salad dressing in order to get it more moist. The ingredients are fresh and it hits the spot if you want a sandwich read more

It's 2022 and the cost of living is so high. This place has daily specials that are the best deals anywhere near this location. The breakfast specials are varied and stable choices. On Friday the special is the classic breakfast with a coffee for 7 bucks. You won't find a better deal in the city. It's clean, well prepared, and well portioned food. read more

Food is good. Service is bad. Passive aggressive staff makes it a bad experience. Otherwise would have been nice. read more

Was walking by from TGH/Mars Discovery District and was feeling a bit hungry from missing breakfast. Pumpernickel is located in the basement of Mars Discovery District. Took a quick glimpse of the menu they have mounted on the wall. Didn't feel like splurging on a big meal, luckily there is a holiday special they have going on for Breakfast and Lunch. Good thing today is a Thursday and the special is a egg, avocado, bacon and cheddar on a sandwich with a coffee or tea. The lunch special looks promising from what I took a look at the daily special, I'll probably come back and check out what to expect.. read more

See all

Best sandwiches closer to Toronto general. I have tried their salad bowls also on other occasion. You can mix and match a variety of salads. Very good vegetarian options for a very reasonable price . The portion sizes were good and service was excellent and quick even when they were serving a busy queue of lunch crowd. Love love love it. read more

My friend introduced me to the breakfast $5 specials. They change up monthly. For $5 I got a great breakfast sandwich with a tea or coffee. This week they changed the menu and it was a burrito. I wish the burrito was a tad bigger but still good value for the price. And it seems to be real egg none of that fake stuff like Subway. They have $10 lunch specials too that look good read more

Pumpernickel's - $5 French toast breakfast special - Caterers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Been coming here almost daily for the past week since been too lazy to pack a lunch and snacks during the work week and Pumpernickel's lighter lunch options are starting to grow on me! Pretty affordable if you have a small and plant-based appetite. My favorites have been the yogurt parfait (vanilla non-Greek yogurt, sugar-y granola, topped with wonderfully fresh berries) for $2.50, small soup for around $4 (they have daily vegetarian options, but be warned that since the staff fills your container the soup will consist mostly of liquid rather than solid ingredients), and the small salad (2 choices - quinoa, tabbouleh salad, couscous, lentils, etc) for around $5. Animal proteins are more expensive, e.g. salmon + sides is around $15. Whole fruits here are $1 per apple or banana. Tip- consider walking 1 block east to Sobeys or Metro for their pre-made lunch options (e.g. $8 salmon with sides at Sobeys vs. $15 at Pumpernickel's) and cheaper fruit by the pound. read more

In desperate situations, I would go to Pumpernickels but quite frankly, it is a bit of a hit and miss at times. Here are a review of the things I've had so far: Breakfast sandwiches: The vegetarian version is gross. The tomato is watery and it ruins the whole breakfast sandwich. The meat version is decent although their egg is quite dry and there are bits of pesto sometimes (why.....!!!). Salads: Their small salads run you about $10 and if you add protein in a large salad, it can cost you up to $15-20. They are big salads, granted but not superbly delicious. Soups & sandwiches: Again, it's quite expensive for the amount of soup they are offering. It's $7 for a soup (large) that isn't actually that large. I could go across to swiss chalet or even Flock and get a better soup. Overall, their service is good for the most part. There is a skinny South East Asian girl with dark red lipstick in the mornings who give you lots of sass. I asked for a BLT with a fried egg white (and said it in exactly those terms) and she gave lots of attitude about it. The other time, when I was paying, she asked me if it was credit and I said "yes" and she then said, "Well which one is it...debit or credit?". In my head, I was like..uhh pretty sure you just said credit but whatever. This one needs to work on waking up on the right side of bed or she shouldn't be doing the morning service. read more

Pumpernickel's is a nice option for a healthy lunch. They serve a variety of sandwiches, hot plates, and salad bowls (with a variety of options such as spinach, kale, quinoa and couscous). The ingredients are fresh and the service is reasonably quick. The big negative here is price. A bowl with a fish/meat topping and a drink will exceed 15$ and often be around 20$. read more

One of my go to work lunch spots for a nice salad. Love how you can mix a variety of different salads all for 1 price. I also added the turkey meatballs which were a little dry but paired so nicely with the beets in the salads. Unfortunately the staff there aren't the friendliest read more

Recently moved to Sagatuck and supported this business with table out during COVID shutdown. Having Enjoyed the food we invited 2 other couples to join on a Saturday evening as their FB post touting live music. Well, no live music, salmon was over cooked, wrong side that frantic waitress offered to swap but did not until reminded again near the end of meal. I appreciate at times things may not go perfect, however, when I shared our experience with the owner he seemed inconvenienced not put off by the feedback and neither thanked me for sharing or apologized. They lost a potential regular customer. read more

Conveniently located in the basement of MaRS, Pumpernickel's features quick and friendly service, and is consistently fresh, flavourful, and well-priced. The salad bar is a lunch time favourite; there is a variety of between 7-10 offerings that you can mix and match in the 'plentiful salad' option, including kale Caesar, spicy chickpea, pasta salad, couscous, grilled vegetables, etc. Additionally, there are about 8 types of protein (chicken, beef, and fish) that may be added à la carte. read more

This review is only for the salad bar as I have not tried anything else. The salad selections are fresh, tasty and there is a wide variety of healthy options. However, their service and policies are terrible. They are very reluctant to fill your box, even though you pay per box. On several occasions, I ask for an extra scoop of a certain item because I like it, and they claim that it is one scoop per customer and if I want an extra scoop, it is $1.75. What if I only wanted one item in the entire box, are you saying I get one measly scoop in a large box? That makes no sense. I'm not asking that they push down my items to pack it in. But when I pay for a box, I would like it to be full, not just 3/4 full. I don't understand why they are so cheap, the regular size already comes to $9 and this is a salad, why so much attitude for an extra scoop? They should charge by weight if this business model doesn't work for them. read more

After merely two visits to the salad bar at Pumpernickel's college, I've decided it as my new go-to place for work lunch. The richness of fresh flavours in their salads had me impressed. I probably haven't tasted enough salads in my life to say this - but how can a salad be so good? Despite previous comments addressing the portion issue, I personally find that they fill up the box quite well! I guess it could depend on the employee. I was lucky enough to have positive experience both times. On my first visit, the employee even suggested to add more into my box, since "it's still got some space". As for the second time, I asked for one scoop of each veggie and ended up getting a heavy salad box with enough portion for two meals. They literally pushed the food down to close the lid - that's how much food i got. Their low rating on yelp surprised me. The only thing I didn't like was how early they're closing the store - on the website it says "open until 5pm", but today at 4:30pm, I cheerfully went downstairs just for their salad, only to find out that the store was already closed. Salad 5/5 Service 5/5 Early store closure 4/5 read more

Pumpernickel's - Got this for $12(tax included). Picture taken after a few bites - still quite a nice portion - Caterers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

For a quick lunch, Pumpernickel's is another winner. While the sandwiches and soups here are really good, the salad bar option here is solid. Alternating with Est West (see other review), these two places form the foundation for some solid lunches. There are three sizes available for the salad bar: small, medium and large. Since these are primarily grain salads, a medium is more than enough for lunch. Options include: couscous, a couple rices, grains I can't identify (maybe quinoa, maybe lentils), black beans/corn, chickpeas, coleslaw, cold pastas, and if you're lucky, some awesome tabouli. This alone is a heavy meal, but if you want you can add chicken to it. The medium salad without chicken is $6.50 including tax. Note: the MaRS building has some great lunch spots, but don't neglect the outdoor atrium, located up the stairs and west of the food court. read more

Pumpernickel's is definitely one of the better places in this particular food court. The sandwiches are delicious, particularly the BBQ chicken avocado, but a bit too small and expensive for what they are. They handle the volume of customers very well and the wait times are very short even around noon. Also free WiFi at MaRS. read more

Man I visited this location a few months ago and had a fantastic Cuban sandwich. Back in the area today I decided to try the famous schnitzel lunch combo with two sides. And I also got a hard boiled egg as an extra side. Thank god for that because that was the only edible item on my tray. Having left the building before tasting this disaster, I decided to chalk it up to a bad experience and put it on my never list again. The sandwich: stale bun, flavourless schnitzel, though it did have a good quantity of meat, volume was not going to make up for this. My side was mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The mashed potatoes were barely mashed. Think over mixed diced potatoes somehow well disguised as mashed. And the dry coleslaw. Oil and vinegar based I think they forgot both or were running low because it was dry as the stale bun. For just shy of $17 I expect to be able to eat the food but the picture below was what went to the garbage. Fortunately the hard boiled egg saved the day. Can't screw that up right? I'll never be back read more

I can only comment on the salads as that's all I get there. The value is okay, although on a pricier side. The food is too salty for my liking in general. read more

The Pumpernickel's in the MaRS food court embodies the phrase "service with a smile." Every time I grab lunch here (which is rather often), the people that work there are super friendly and welcoming. The salad "bar" (not self-service, you just point at the items you want and they spoon it into your bowl of desired size) is great, as are their daily soups. You can eat your food amongst the hoi polloi at one of the adjoining food court tables, or if it's sunny, take the escalator upstairs to the outdoor atrium. Or, if you're a loser like me, you grab your stuff to go and eat in front of your work computer while catching up on Reddit. Either way, you're going to have a nice lunch. read more

This pumpernickel is one of the worse ones I have been to. I usually go to the pumpernickel in First Canadian Place, for the same price they really pack it in and fill up your box. However this location is very stingy on the fillings, my box was only 3/4 full by the end. I will not be coming back, I hope the owner will correct this because this is ruining the pumpernickel brand! read more

Very friendly service and a large and tasty variety in their salad bar selection! Ditch the soup though; had salmon "bisque" that was more like shreds of canned fish in tomato broth. read more

Finally decided to try this place for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. It has a great salad bar with lots of options for a quick and healthy lunch. The large salad (no meat) comes to $8.97 with tax and I found it very filling even without any meat. They let you choose as many salads as you want and I thought the bowl was filled fairly (some other reviews said it wasn't filled all the way). I've come here twice now and each time found that the salads had lot of flavour and the service was quick, efficient, and friendly. The sandwiches and other meal options look good but a bit on the expensive side so I haven't tried anything else there and will probably stick to the salad bar. This will probably be my go-to take out lunch now. read more

I normally don't review places. But if your going their for lunch and getting the salad, ask for the small. If you ask for the regular, they only fill a quarter of the container. Salad was okay, staff couldn't care less. read more

I ordered the turkey and avocado sandwich and got two tiny pieces of avocado, very thinly sliced (about the size of two quarters side by side) and the avocado was hard as rock. Definitely not worth the money and will not go back again as I feel it is misleading to tell customers there is avocado in their sandwich when there is so little and it is inedible anyway. Very disappointing - you can get much better quality sandwiches anywhere else! read more
