Ordered the chicken avocado wrap with salad AGAIN for lunch and I still love it. The food feels clean and healthy, and the salad is actually a generous portion with a tiny dressing (to keep my calories in check) Wish they could add healthy smoothies to the menu tho.

Came by for lunch takeout as I was lucky to have a day off they are only open weekday lunches. Seems like a popular spot for nearby staff on their breaks grabbing takeout. Plenty of seating inside and noticed it was clean and bright. Super friendly as well! I guess they noticed it was my first time there and asked if I needed any help with the menu. Plenty of options for both the main sandwich and salad selections. Got the chicken avocado wrap with the spring mix. For 11.75, I was happy with what I got. The wrap was tightly packed and held well throughout. Chicken was not dry, and went well with the avocado, peppers and tomato among other toppings. Salad greens were fresh and was a generous portion. Parking might be harder to find during peak hours but otherwise its pretty easy to find just off Woodbine 7. Will be back!

The free coffee is a nice touch (although I didn't try it, so I can't vouch for its quality). But I wonder why it's free, but the only water is bottled and you have to pay for it. The portions are huge; my husband and I could have split a salad and been full. I have one food concern what's prepared on the same grill. I didn't check whether they have a panini press to separate gluten. I'm also allergic to eggplant, so I avoided all the grilled veggies. But I also didn't ask.

In terms of the space, it's a medium-sized restaurant with a limited number of seats, giving it a modern feel. However, parking can be quite tricky during peak times due to its limited availability. I also wish they were open longer, especially for dinner!

Everything is so so so fresh and the portions here are amazing! I never go back to work feeling hungry or grossed out or greasy after having a meal here. I love their tofu wrap it is a bit spicy but you can always ask for a different spread/sauce. They even have complimentary coffee. The staff here are also incredibly friendly. A must visit!!
