Fast Fresh Foods

One of the best sandwich and salad combos in the path. Comes out to be $ 10 and you get a custom pressed sandwich and a side salad. The sandwich is great. I usually get turkey, roasted red pepper spread, arugula, brie and eggplant, toasted for extra long. Its satisfying and delicious. The line up goes by fairly fast and worth the slight wait while your sandwich is pressed.

Honestly, I really, really love FFF for the salads. It’s great value for the quality, the number of (and variety of!) toppings, and sheer volume of goods. A large salad is LARGE and with no extra charged toppings to the 7 that you’re entitled to — the monetary hit is a modest $ 8.75.
$ 8.75.
I’ll let that resonate with you for a bit.
See, ya just don’t get the whole package for that price point at Freshii or Druxy’s or Sandwich Box or salad bars in the PATH supermarkets (Longo’s, McEwan)! (You’re welcome, yes, I did the high-​level comparables analysis! :P)
I like to get the kale salad with avocado (charge), corn (x2), chickpeas (x2), banana peppers, and cherry tomatos (x2) with ¼ lemon poppyseed + olive oil + lemon dressing. I don’t get protein with my salads because I find better value in nearby grocery stores :)
Graze away!

I love this place. I can’t speak about the salad bar because no one makes friends with Salad. Their sandwiches are amazing! A sandwich (comes with a side of spring mix salad) comes up to $ 10.00, drinks excluded. This is pretty average for downtown Toronto. If you’re looking for a good sandwich, I would highly recommend this place. The only thing is make sure you go when it isn’t busy. Once it does get busy the sandwich spends less time on the grill and it isn’t as crispy as it should be.

I ordered a sandwich today for the first time and I was disappointed to learn that butter, cheddar cheese, and regular lettuce were not available for sandwiches. In what kind of world is there no butter, cheese and lettuce to introduce the turkey to the bread?

This is a review of the salads (I’ll update when try their soups and sandwiches).
Ordered a large custom salad with mixed greens, and my choice of 7 toppings, with salad dressing on the side. Greens were very fresh — no wilting leaves in this bowl.
Wow, it really is a huge salad (I’m comparing to Freshii, which seemed to have caught SSS (Shrinking Size Syndrome).
Yes, if you get meat and other ‘charged’ toppings, the cost will add up. Yes, they could probably give you more toppings (granted, I’ve never been totally happy with the amount of toppings I get in salads).
Compared to other places I’ve been to, this is a good deal. A large salad, with no charged toppings will cost you $ 8.75 and a day full of grazing.
Cash only is from 11 – 2. I had no problems using my Mastercard after those hours.

This is my «big salad» go to spot for lunch at work. I always feel better eating a salad as it does a body good. This salad is huge. There are 3 sizes and the large is about $ 10 with chicken. You pick your type of lettuce — romaine, spinach or spring mix (or all 3 if you like). With the large salad you get 7 toppings. I’m a fan of the beats, black beans, corn, broccoli, carrots, celery, peas and various croutons. You can add chicken, turkey, salmon or tuna and various types of cheese. They have a wide selection of dressings and you can indicate how much you want on your salad. They put all your chosen ingredients in a big mixing bowl so everything is mixed well. I have a big appetite and this is the only salad that fills me up!
Warning — the line gets very large during lunch hours so I recommend going around 11:30 or after 1:30. They are also open later in the evening so also a good late night work dinner. They also sell sandwiches but I never tried them so have no comment.

They have started chincing on salad toppings… I actually had to endear myself to the salad creator to get more than 4 slices of apple. On top of that, they now douse the apples in lemon juice – I get it, it prevents them from going brown, but they go overboard and now my salad tastes purely like lemon juice. A coworker just walked by and asked what the acidic smell was that was wafting from my desk. Seriously. Enough with the lemon juice. CUE JONI! *I don’t mind spots on my apples leave me the birds and the bees, pleeeaaase*
Why are there no good affordable salad options on the PATH?! :(

Good quality food. A bit on the expensive side — $ 9. Salads better than elsewhere on the food courts around.

$ 9 for a lunch (excluding drink) is fairly average lunch price in the financial core. The sandwich comes with a green salad. I prefer this sandwich shop over others. The ingredients are visible and I’ve never seen anything wilting.
I tend to always get the olive bread with avocado salsa (previously basil humus), turkey breast, goat cheese (I do try all cheese except gouda), portabella mushrooms and arugula. Delicious! And filling. Two key criteria because the last thing you want, is a hunger pang around 3pm and stressing over the work you need to accomplish.
The salads are filling but those are actually expensive and little value for price, because I order extras that are not covered in the standard prices. Unfortunately, I haven’t looked elsewhere for other salad places.
I recommend it for sandwiches but not for the salads.

The sandwiches are pretty good but a bit on the smalll side and light on toppings. Their inspiration Sandwich Box is still a bit better.
I would probably give 3 stars if not for the fact they are cash only. I don’t understand why in 2011 some places insist on inconveniencing their customers to save a few bucks on merchant service fees. It’s especially cheeky for a place that charges $ 10 for a sandwich.

They have a basket of rolls at the checkout. After paying over $ 11 for a salad and a can of coke, I asked the cashier if the bread was included. She said no, it’s an extra $ 0.54.
The salads and sandwiches taste good, don’t get me wrong, but I think you can get a more affordable and equally good (if not better) lunch elsewhere.
The salads are primarily lettuce, and you only get 5 additional items (particular items that don’t cost extra) without incurring extra charges. For example, cheddar cheese is the only cheese that doesn’t cost extra. And don’t even think about asking for avocado without paying extra. At Freshii you can add a lot more to your salad and pay a lot less.
And if I’m paying over $ 11 for lunch, I think you can throw in a piece of bread.

FFF is good for a quick $ 9 salad.
I find this location gives more salad than the FFF on Yonge or the Freshii in TD Centre — so bang for the buck it is probably the best. It is hard to not be full after what seems like an entire head of lettuce plus toppings.
I typically avoid the long line by selecting the pre-​prepared salads (they will mix them with dressing for you). I am usually in and out in under 3 minutes.
$ 9 salads can add up — but when you’re in the PATH most everything is going to cost you $ 7-​$ 10.

First Lettuce/​Freshii introduced us to the $ 10 salad. Then the likes of Reggie’s etc introduced the $ 12 sandwich etc. Now, I can add FFF to the list of outrageous lunch prices. My simple sandwich and soup was $ 13.50! For takeout!
I’ll admit the sandwich was tasty and well-​prepared (rosemary focaccia, curried apple spread, turkey, brie, and roasted peppers) but the soup was a little bland and left my mouth tingling as though it had been full of MSG. Who knows? For the price/​experience ratio, I think this falls quite short of Petit Thuet, but then you’d have to venture out of doors.
Cash only.

Being at the base of a 56 story building means that this location has long line ups. Much longer line ups than the nearby Yonge Street location, but the salads are prepared with move love and more lettuce. Focusing on upscale sandwiches and Salads, this location is perfect for the starving lawyer with an assistant that can run out and grab lunch while continuing charging outrageous hourly rates.
As a plebe who fetches his own lunch, I completely avoid the sandwich line. The sandwiches are great here, but not worth the wait and my proletariate background prevents me from paying $ 10 for anything called a sandwich. But the salads are great. If you avoid the add-​ons and stick with basic veggies, you end up with a great salad at a reasonable price.
