“I had a great experience at Avoca! The chocolate and ice cream were both amazing and everything tasted fresh, rich, and high quality. There were lots of delicious flavors to choose from, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the visit even better. The store was clean and had a cozy atmosphere. If you’re looking for a sweet treat or premium chocolate, I highly recommend Avoca. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Probably the best "chain store" pizza in Canada! Love to get a slice or two when visiting Toronto. Hope they open branches in Ottawa soon (we need better pizza slices in the nation's capital).“

“As a veg/Vegan for the last 30 years or so, this was the most amazing plant based meal and experience, I have ever had. The bar, the quality, the STAFF …EVERYTHING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you so much for your beautiful food and atmosphere. 🙏✨💕 I can’t wait to return.“

“If you are looking for incredible tasting food, quality ingredients, environmental sustainability, a trendy and tranquil café vibe, detailed dietary accommodations, and complete transparency, this is your spot. You can tell that Chef Ishan and his team truly care about the food and experience they are offering to their guests and go out of their way to offer suggestions, provide any information you need and offer delicious bonuses throughout your meal. There is a fantastic range of options on their menu making it an excellent spot to stop for a specialty drink and appetizer, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or cocktail hour. With every bite you can taste the quality of what you are eating. I ate there with my 3 and 6 year old recently and they loved it just as much as I did. I highly recommend everyone visits this unique spot and appreciates their ethos for themselves! If I lived in Toronto I would definitely be a regular customer.“

“First meal on a patio this summer I think? Really nice atmosphere, music not too loud nor was the side street the patio borders. I always get the Tiger bowl, and did so once again— but I think next time I’m going for the protein bowl that my friend had. Our server Spencer was great, good energy.“

“Amazing lunch at Fresh at Yonge and Eglinton.
Soup and salad were fresh and delicious.
Chel did a wonderful service and suggested to order soup and salad separately since I didn’t want to have pita or bread .
This was a great suggestion as I got more salad that I love .
Service was also excellent .
Would definitely recommend coming here for lunch / brunch .“

“Really good cheap and filling vegan food. Such a delight.“

“This was one of the best experiences I have ever had in a restaurant. The owners are hands on, the service was better than anything I have experienced in a long long time. The price was right, the atmosphere was great! The food though.... this is a one of a kind experience and I strongly urge you, vegan OR NOT, go to this place and eat the food. It is on a completely different level than anything I have ever experienced. The flavours are so unique. I felt high after eating it. My friend and I were completely on cloud 9, we could not believe it! We had Papadam, Gai lan, Mole, Grapes, and then ice cream and cake! It was soooooooo good and we will be back!!!!!!“

“Juice is always so fresh, favourite juice bar in Toronto. Everything on the menu is super fire 🔥 I recommend all the juices, for smoothies big green and galaxy (in photo) juicing is a lifestyle. Everytime I drink a fresh beet or greens I feel renewed. Staff is so kind, Isabele is especially so wonderful! 💖 come have a juice and make the cells in your body happy 😃 you won’t regret it“

“This location is my go to - the food is of course great (and I’m a carnivore) and the atmosphere and location are great too.
The staff are what makes this a special spot. They are courteous and professional and make you want to come back. Bo in particular is exceptional.
The value and pricing is also very reasonable. Was able to take advantage of the the happy hour today and the prices are amazing ($5 for a smoothie?!)“

“I believe our server’s name was Rachel, if I’m remembering correctly. I just want to say - they were SO incredible! What a competent and kind person! I would recommend coming to this Fresh location any time you’re in the area!“

“Delicious vegan Caribbean food in the heart of Kensington Market. Veggie D'light hits the spot for lunch on a weekend. I had their meal with jerk saitan, veggies and basmati/quinoa. I asked about the soup of the day and was promptly offered a taste by the friendly chef. Had the medium soup as well--a delicious rich soup with yams and coconut milk. Now I have a new favorite lunch spot.“

“Definitely long overdue but truly a hidden gem in Toronto. I highly recommend everyone to try Stefanos, as a non vegan myself I really enjoyed the food and the experience. I love that they rotate their menu and that its a laid back environment. My photos display the current menu and items that use to be on the menu.“

“My wife and I had an amazing experience at Vegan I Thali! Amazing staff and we were offered delicious Avocado Tea while we waited. The samosas were incredible! The corn soup was unreal and the food was fantastic! We loved the Ethiopian vibes! Definitely recommend, especially if you eat vegan!“

“Just the best - our fav over and over again - try the garlic shrimp!“

“Great food, great drinks, great prices, and great service. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Toronto!“

“Ital Vital is an absolute must! I had them cater for an event and am beyond happy with how it went! The food was so amazing! We had so many delicious options and everyone loved it. The plant-based bbq spare rib was a crowd favourite! The chef and owner, Arnold, is so kind and generous. The customer service experience was incredible. It was such a pleasure having Ital Vital cater to us and I can’t wait to call them back soon!“

“You really understand the vocabulary of great food!☺“

“Drove up from Ottawa a few days ago and stumbled across Lettuce Love Cafe on a whim, and honestly it might have been the best decision of the whole trip. The Thai crunch salad was so good I almost ordered a second one before our server talked me into trying the cashew cheese bowl instead, which was somehow even better. Staff were genuinely warm and patient with all my questions about the menu since I had no idea what half the ingredients were. If you're visiting Toronto and want a lunch spot that actually leaves you feeling great afterward, do yourself a favour and come here.“

“I was keeping in touch with this place since september 2025 cause I really want something special with my husband for our 10th anniversary together and the only thing I can say is this place was more than perfect. We've got an incredible waiter (Joydeep), we've got a lot of restriction with all the allergies I've got and the fact my husband is cœliac and they take care of both of us all night long. All the money we spend here worth it and if you need a place where they take care of you, this is the place! Just take you're reservation in advance and they will do something for you. Perfect is not enough to describe the experience. Thank you to the team andthank you to our waiter Joydeep 😀“

“Amazing vegan burger! Was a lot better than I expected! Love that secret sauce“

“Love this place. Wonderful chocolate in so many great creations and flavours... handpainted chocolate boxes, chocolate dipped treats, amazing ice cream, real hot chocolate, and a drool-worthy case of incredible little bombshell desserts. Plus, friendly, easy-going, helpful staff. So... yeah, I recommend!“

“evarthing is good service very good“

“Highly recommend this restaurant. From the minute you walk in hearing the music, seeing the vibe of the place you get the sense that it’s going to be a good experience. Shout out to the chef’s and servers. I will definitely come back.“

“Still my favourite neighbourhood sushi resto. Small, sweet and very well done.“

“Didn’t realize I was dining in Vancouver tonight bc this meal was gastownnnn!!! Went for a highly anticipated grey Monday tasting menu and was wow wow wowed by pretty much every bite (particularly the shrimp ravioli, and yes, I’m GLAD it came with bread). Do the freaking wine pairing if you ever go, it’s well worth it to have to think just a lillll bit less and have a sexy little sip to hold hands with each course (thank you Jake!) Service was wonderful, every member on staff that interacted with us was very kind and attentive at every step of the meal. Just a lovely experience overall (portion size was good, we left full! 🫄)“

“Accommodated allergies and dietary restrictions without compromising flavour. Really inventive and delicious menu -- every dish was a standout. One of the best meals I've had in Toronto in a long time.“
