Food is decent. It's great that they have a gluten free eggs benny. Potatoes were definitely undercooked. It is always busy and a zoo to get in - not necessarily worth the wait to get in.

I visited Fresh on Bloor street west on a quiet evening. Despite being an old patron at front street location, I gave a call prior to visiting since it was my first time at bloor street location. I am vegan, and allergic to gluten and soy and wished to eat something on the appetizer side. I ordered a soup and poutine which had topping of cheese sauce and miso gravy. Being allergic to soy, I requested to give only fries with cheese sauce. To my dismay, when the poutine arrived - it was a plate of completely SOGGY and COLD fries on one side and a lump of dry cheese ( it was not even shreeded cheese- just a lump) dumped on another side. Honestly, I was offended to even look at it and how a kitchen is called a kitchen ( of a plant based restaurant) and chef are called chef? I checked with server- was it not suppose to be cheese sauce - he very proudly mentioned that “ maybe if there was miso gravy, the cheese had melted to become cheese sauce”!!! REALLY ?? I was again offended even to discuss or argue about it as that soggy cheap cold fries with lump of dry cheese WAS NOT worth my time when I already wasted money. Just an advise - if you really want to hire people who read the books and work in your kitchen- you may want to pickup college or school kids who may do a better job and likely be creative - but please do not offend patrons to waste their money on a plant based restaurant run by “ culinary chefs”! A total shame that one cannot get normal fries right. The soup was another disaster! No thank you!

Not the greatest food - or coffee - but there’s something about the atmosphere here that I like; lots of windows and you can usually get a table here. Good place to work on your laptop or phone. Patio option is nice in summer. Extensive cake and pie menu is tempting. The chocolate macaroons are a good gluten free option. I think it’s really the spaciousness that brings me back here.

Just perfect. Went there with my wife for her birthday. We're big fans of Japan and this was like we were right back in Tokyo (with a sprinkle of North America added). Delicious food. Courteous staff. Amazing atmosphere. And they somehow catered to my gluten intolerance perfectly. Fantastic.
