Freshii

The food is always decent, nothing compared to the veggie places you can find in Toronto — Fresh or IQ, but a good stop for lunch near the hill. Decent prices too for the amount of food you get, but they always skimp on the more expensive ingredients i.e. avocado, tofu, crispy noodles. The one thing that bugged me enough to write a review is that they laughed at my name when they shouted out my order. I have a pretty interesting name but it’s not unheard of, and when the cashier called it out she said «hm that’s a weird one» then proceeded to say «for Mercedes!». Doubt I’ll be back just because of how rude that one cashier was, even though she probably assumed I didn’t hear.

I ordered the Cobb salad a few weeks back. The salad tasted good, although pretty pricey. It’s weird but the cobb salad doesn’t have eggs… so how can it be a cobb salad? Also I waited in line for 25 mins to get my order. If you decide to eat here, come early or pre-​order. Some bowls look like good portions, but I found my salad was a little small. They have gluten free items, but look online first to find the allergens (tricky to find on the website but it’s there). I can’t say I’m in any rush to go back. I think I’ll stick to my homemade salads.

I really like Freshii for their delicious and health lunches. My latest purchase was the Spicy Kimchi bowl. Brown Rice, Edamame, Red Cabbage, Kimchi, Shredded Carrot. Added the Gourmet Tuna and an extra splash of Siracha.

Well I did it everyone! I had my sushirito virginity taken away from me. Let me first say, this is a great healthy option close to the parliament hill on a nice pedestrian only street.
I got to try both the chicken teriyaki sushirito and tofu kimchi sushirito. Both were great, kimchi was very spicy.
I’d like to make a point that these rolls dont really taste ANYTHING like sushi besides the seaweed paper. I would call it a Korean Roll. The seaweed or nori is pretty tough to rip a bite off, so it fails a little bit in its functionality as a burrito and taste as a sushi. But still great tasting!

Usually fast service, nice staff, great food :) I love to have the option to order ahead online and pick up quickly at lunch time!

Terribly overpriced for what it is. The options here are either wraps or some weird pasta-​like concoction that they mix in a plastic bag.
A wrap and drink will easily run you $ 10+, assuming you order off the menu and not from the create your own menu, which is more expensive. Cans of pop are $ 1.35 each; bags of chips are $ 2 – 3 each; smoothies are $ 5.99.
This restaurant is also way too small for the volume they do: it’s about the size of a small cell phone/​mobile store, yet they’re expecting to pack in hundreds of people for meals. It’s a very narrow entrance.
On entering you’re given a clipboard and (maybe) a pencil to fill out what you want. While waiting in line for about 10 minutes you’re supposed to write down what you want and/​or complete the create your own menu. Then you give it to a staff member, who tells you that they’re sold out of what you want (why not have that person FIRST, before filling out the clipboard?). When you settle for something else, they take your order slip. Then you wait in line for another 10 minutes to pay. Then you gaggle with 20 other customers at the end of the counter and wait another 10 minutes for your name to be called. Finally, after waiting 30 minutes for your overpriced wrap and can of pop, you get it and think «this is it?»
In summary, avoid this place and go somewhere else. The service is slow and the food is overpriced.

Great food. Really liked the chicken club wrap. Very near to Parliament, so that’s also a plus

I feel like I’m going to get shunned on Unilocal for this review but I really didn’t like freshii. I really want to like it, the concept is rad & I know so many people who love it.
First of fresh markets to be a healthy place to eat but they sell coke & other sodas from that company. It seems hypocritical to me to carry those beverages in the place. Just saying.
Atmosphere– It seemed very open, clean, airy, that sort of feel. A nicer «fast food» kinda feel. You order from a counter and then can find a seat or take it to go. Not somewhere I would go for an experince kind of a meal. The big thing I didn’t like was the blasting of new music. It was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. I’m ordering food, not going out dancing. Calm down with the music. I found it rather annoying to be in the place. 1.5÷5
Service– The service was perfectly fine here. They answered all my questions, were friendly & fast. Have nothing negative to say about service 4.5÷5
Food– The food was nothing special or even tasty to say the least. I had two different dishes, The Spicy noodle bowl without cilantro & the Asian bowl with out the crispy won tong, tofu instead of chicken. Maybe it was because of the substations/​changes but the food wasn’t very good at all. The Spicy noodle dish was very spicy to me. I can handle some spice but this dish was hot! The Asian bowl was just very bland nothing special or yummy at all. Not worth the 7 something it was. The prices aren’t bad if the food tasted better. ¹⁄₅
Over all I wouldn’t recommend this place. The only way I’d eat here again is if I was hungry and it was the only restaurant around.

An elaborate selection of delicious, healthy food. Makes for a great after-​workout meal and you choose your ingredients! Very convenient location for anyone with dietary restrictions like gluten-​free and vegan. And their $ 5 meals all week are so filling! Good, fast service too, might I add :)

Finally a fast health food joint that lets you pick and choice your meal buy ingredients. I walk buy this place during a festible on sparks street and noticed wraps with Swiss char. I have been making my on veggie /​chicken wraps at home with Romain lettuce and was happy to get some new ideas for healthy tasty food.
The service was quick and friendly. I hope this place gets big in Ottawa, we need more places like this to help people to stay fit and healthy.
Thanks Freshii I am a fan for sure.

The place was hopping when we went in for a Friday lunch (and on Sparks Street on a Friday it’s hard to find space anywhere) but they got us our salads relatively quickly. I was a rookie to this place so I didn’t know about the menu you fill out and hand in but it worked seamlessly.
In hindsight, and looking at my wallet afterward, I probably would have avoided adding as many 50 or 75 cent and especially any $ 1 additions to my salad because it ended up costing a lot but that’s something I’ll know for next time. The salad was large, very fresh and tasted pretty good. However, I don’t think I’d make a great restaurant menu creator as some of my ingredients sort of conflicted with each other and tasted a bit odd…
You can build your own salad here using almost any ingredient you can think of. There isn’t a whole lot of seating but it’s a good place to grab lunch from and go back to the office too. I think in the summer they have a small patio in the middle of Sparks Street too (not to fear, tourists — it’s a pedestrian street)!
I’d certainly go back but probably only as a treat as it was a bit pricey — again sort of my own fault for building an explosion of extra costing food!

A healthier option than most, Freshii has wraps, salads and soups for lunch as well as a breakfast menu. and what looks to me like a desert-​yogourt menu (reeses pieces!)
Salads run (at time of this review) in the 8 — 10 dollar range.
Salads are made to order, so it’s not quite fast-​food — but you can get it to go. About 5 minutes for my salad to arrive.
Freshii advertizes their eco conciousness (yay!) With all bio-​degadable or easily recycled packaging as well as their connection to food at the source.
All in all, good experience.
Would I return: yes
Would I recommend: yes

I work downtown, and my mission is to find the best vegetarian, high-​volume, low-​cost meal. I think this is it: $ 6.77 for a noodle or rice bowl that will fill you up quite solidly. I find you can alternate through the sauces enough that it doesn’t get too repetitive. Be sure to get the loyalty card.
I tried a «burrito» one time and was not impressed; it’s really just a salad wrap so much less filling.

A quick spot to grab a healthy lunch downtown.
It took me a minute to figure out how to order at this place – each patron gets a menu card and marks off what they’d like. It’s a nifty idea because then you can customize your meal with the flick of your pencil.
I had a buffalo chicken wrap and it was easy to substitute ranch dressing for the blue cheese (which I don’t care for).
There isn’t much seating, but when you’re on Sparks street it’s nice to eat outside anyway.

Quick, tasty, reasonably priced. Good on the go lunch spot for the downtown crowd.
