La Prep

I am a loyal la prep customer, go here for lunch all the time. I had really bad experience at this location. As they were packing salads for me, I saw a full box. After I paid, I waited a while for my salad, then when I opened the box. It’s only a half box and you can clearly tell that they put some salads out after I went to the cashier. What a hell is this customer service? How can they screw up in front of a customer so bad? Very disappointing!

Nice place to chat with a friend. Modern and comfortable furniture: slab tables with stools, coffee tables with leather chairs, modern décor and big windows. Fairly cheap ($ 6 for avocado blt and coffee). Coffee was great, tomatoes in the blt were pretty gross but I was very hungry. Barely any avocado. But you’re not really going here for a nice meal. Come grab a bite to get you by, or buy a coffee and stay a while. Yes, there is free wifi with YouTube quality speeds.

Great coffee, excellent croissants, fresh food.

Good fresh sandwiches. Combo with two salads and a drink for under $ 12 is not a bad deal. Arrive before noon as the food court is jammed by 1215 pm. Service is a bit slow. Coffee is hot, fresh and dark. They have espresso as well but I’ve never seen them make it.

Food is ok and soup and salad is a good lunch option. Only, they claim to make things fresh, but the parfait for one never tastes fresh even early morning. As well, there’s no nutritional info or ingredients on anything but the soups. For a deli, they don’t have anything made to order, and everything, including salads, sandwiches are pre made. The only reason my colleagues and I go here — there’s nothing else around us.
Some food is tasty (though often even salads are dripping in oil. That’s the only reason this gets three stars, though 2.5 would have been more accurate.

Due to convenience of where it is located, I have become a regular for breakfast and occasionally lunch.
Nestled at the corner of University and Wellington in an office building, La Prep (formerly Café Supreme) has very fresh premium tasting breakfast and lunches.
I’ve had their english muffin with tomatoe, cheese and ham breakfast sandwich, their croissant with spinach, cheese and ham, and their bacon and cheese panini. All very delicious… served hot and their eggs are microwaved in a non-​plastic container so they are safer. You get a discount on the coffee if you buy it with the breakfast sandwich as a package. Price ranges for the package deal from 4.75 to 5.75.
As for lunch, they serve a variety of sandwiches (approx. $ 5-​$ 7) and if purchased with two salads, the cost goest to $ 10. Their soups are good but nothing to write home about.
Everything tastes fresh and the ingredients are of premium quality. It is a little more pricey than other places, but you get what you pay for. Their coffee I find is weak compared to Second Cup or Starbucks, but they do have very aromatic flavors such as French Vanilla. Their lattees are also ok.
Their cookies are very delicious… homemade tasting and melts in your mouth. But pricey at $ 1+ for a small one.
As for the service, I have found it to be slower than McDonalds, Bagel Stop, or Tims but staff is friendly and location is on my way to work, so convenient, which is great in cold winter weathers.
Their seating area is very clean and comfortable… inviting. Great for informal business meetings or for coffee with friends.

Good food, slightly pricey (compare it to slightly less than starbucks prices but more than tim hortons). Decent atmosphere, comfortable seating. I really like their coffees. They also have fresh fruit, yogurt and parfaits which are quite nice. Sandwiches are nice but expensive and not very filling. Overall everything is pretty healthy and tasty. Areas of improvement: Salads could be better, unfortunately they also got rid of egg whites as an option which was great for the health conscious folks. Cookies and snacks aren’t bad. Service can be slow. Staff is usually pretty friendly.

La Prep (formerly Café Supreme) is located in an office building at the south-​west corner of University and Wellington. The franchise recently changed it’s name to La Prep — new look, same menu.
The food is really good! I find it a bit pricey, but truthfully it’s worth it. It’s just that I can find lunch for cheaper in the area. The staff are typically friendly, although sometimes appear tired and over-​worked. The owner/​manager is great, she works very hard to maintain consistent quality. They do catering and I have ordered a lunch for 12 people only 2 hours before it was needed and they were able to accomodate us.
There is a variety of sandwiches and salads on display. Paninis, wraps, sandwiches and pita served after being grilled (or not if you choose). Salads are veg, bean and pasta. The coffee is pretty good, and they serve the delicious and overpriced «mighty leaf» tea.
