An Amazing Meal From Start to Finish! - Edit
Absolutely love everything about Fresh on Spadina! From the huge menu, to the retro decor, to the incredible food! Particular favorites: the Broccoli Cheeze Soup, the Quinoa-Crusted Onion Rings (which are possibly the best onion rings in existence), and the Cauliflower Tacos! Can’t wait to go back!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Returned to Fresh on Spadina on 8/18/23. The Puffed Quinoa Onion Rings were perfect, as usual, and we also discovered a new favorite: the Crispy Dumplings. Mains (9–Layer Burrito and Cobb Salad) were ok, but lackluster. We tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake for dessert and were not disappointed! It is amazing! Still a five-star place for us, but it does seem that the quality of the food varies depending on what you order.

Decent food, but overpriced - Edit
We found this restaurant to be a little stuffy. The bathroom was a little sketchy, and the rest of the restaurant was trying to be high end, it seemed. The staff weren't overly friendly. The food was decent, but for the price and portion size, we were left a little disappointed. We would go back if left with no other option, but not somewhere we would seek out.
Read morePros: Food was good, Juices are a great addition
Cons: Expensive, Smaller portion sizes

Fast vegan food and juice bar - Edit
Went there for lunch in 2004. I was amazed that I could get a glass of freshly made raw juice to go with my vegan sandwich. Since it was a cafeteria style setup, and plenty of employees working behind the counter, the service was quick. Mostly it was a "to go place," but there was also plenty of seating available. Good prices as well.

Tasty tofu wrap - Edit
Nice vibe in this little eatery, loads of options on the menu. The breaded tofu wrap was lovely and had a ranch feel to it. The fries were on point to. Partner had the French toast which although looked amazing was a little underwhelming and probably wasn’t big enough for a main. Worth a visit if in Toronto though.

Good Go To Vegan Food - Edit
I really enjoyed Fresh on Spadina! The onion rings were phenomenal and our wrap and burger were pretty good as well. We also tried the rose late and a sparkling lemonade and both had great fresh tasting flavor. The only downside to Fresh is that it is a little pricey. They up charged us to have a dip with the onion rings which I didn't even realize until we got our bill. I would definitely go again if I was in the area because it's good, dependable vegan food.

The superfood soup is awesome. The protein bowl was flavoured perfectly and the buffalo wrap was so well done. Highly recommended.

Oddly rude…not sure why? - Edit
I went with 8 other vegans and the staff were visibly irritated at our arrival…not sure why. It took a very long time for our food to arrive, but we didn’t get forks. We waited for a while and none came. One of us had to go in to look for utensils. The food also was weirdly bad at this spot…not sure why because I’ve loved Fresh for decades. When we had to pay, the machine stopped working right after it processed our credit card, and we were asked to check with our bank if the payment went through. This was the strangest experience I’ve had eating out 🤷🏻♀️

Soooo good! - Edit
The Protein bowl was amazing. Holy cow. We also get the Bbq Burger and it was superb. Those onion rings and the sauce? I woke up in the middle of the night, dreaming about it. That good!

Good; Could be Great - Edit
Their ‘Buffalo Wrap’ (in their favorites section) was excellent. The ‘9 Bean Burrito’ was fair. I opted out of ordering a salad because I ordered two side salads (one with each wrap). Although the side salads were appetizing, their quantity was surprisingly small
Read morePros: Entirely vegan, Their ‘favourites’ section are worthy of tries

Good but not my favourite - Edit
During my week visit in Toronto I came here twice for dinner. First time I had the Cobb Salad, it was tasty but not filling and expensive. Tempeh tasted just like fermented soy, no delicious flavour to it. Second time I had clubhouse wrap, the tempeh “bacon” was not crispy or flavourful again and the tofu was just a big hunk of med tofu - not impressive. We also shared poutine as appetizer, it was pretty good. My son and his girlfriend always have the Big Salad and love it.

Nice and relaxed brunch - Edit
We came to the Spadina fresh for brunch. It is a little further out from the city centre so was a bit less busy upon arrival. Food was good, had the Scram & Smash. Also stayed to try the Nanaimo bar (never had one before) all were tasty and filling. Got busy towards lunch time.

One of my all time faves! - Edit
I love most everything I've ever had there, but the quinoa onion rings are always a must-order for me! I usually get them with garlic mayo, but really all the sauces are delicious! Cauliflower tacos are also great. There are so many amazing and delicious options for every palate! I've taken meat-eating friends there, too, and they have always been very impressed. I'd only say that some of the dishes seem a little overpriced for what they are, but others are more reasonably priced. It's worth visiting during happy hour where some items and drinks are much cheaper. (I believe 3-6pm and 9-close). Overall, I love this place!

Delicious but expensive - Edit
The poutine is super yummy, greasy goodness. The peanut bowl was a little boring buts lots of fresh veggies - too many noodles. Also had carrot cake which was probably the best vegan carrot cake I’ve tried

Over priced and under healthy - Edit
Here’s the thing. This is still a healthier lunch option than most. But as a big fan of bowls I find there’s lacking compared to other plant-based competitions. The star of their bowls is rice or noodles and while delicious I’d far prefer a place like Freshii, Kupfert & Kim’s, Copper Branch or Imperfect Eats that really gives you a lot of veggies and nutrients for your buck. As such this is over priced for what it is. Don’t get me wrong - it’s delicious - but when I have healthier options this isn’t my go to.

Excellent Selection! - Edit
Wow! Loved the meal I had at Fresh on Spadina. The Mexican breakfast platter was incredible. Perfect mix of flavours and a decent portion size - not too much, but plenty to feel full. Pancakes were hearty with tons of nuts and fruits. Meals were well balanced & well thought-out. Great service too!
