feelgoodguru

This place is amazing! Their food is delicious, healthy and the owner is an absolute sweetheart! After hearing me rave about her soup, she gave me a breakfast cookie for free. A really small but sweet act of appreciation.
Love feelgoodguru!

I really want to like this place, because I love the idea of it, but any time I’ve been in, the staff has been really rude to me, the prices are beyond exorbitant, and they never seem to have much on their menu actually available.

I used to be quite fond of this place, but I just had a not so awesome experience. I’m going to split the difference and go with three stars… but I’ll likely only come back for my lunch needs, and never again for a juice fix, and I remain pretty unimpressed with their Saturday staff.
Their vegan treats are delicious, and they do make their juices in house. However, they don’t make juices to order, and sometimes later in the day the cups of green juices (what I’m usually after at this type of place), need some refreshing.
My annoyance is surrounding their juice ingredients not being clearly listed (on the plastic cup options). I recently went for one of these bad boys and when I asked the girl at the counter what was in it, she said: «like so much, pretty much everything.» What does that even mean? I asked her to clarify, she didn’t/couldn’t. I asked about the couple of things I can’t have and am adverse to, and they weren’t in there, she seemed to know what was *not* in the drink, so I went for it. It ended up being a very grainy and chunky juice, which I probably would have known beforehand, had she just taken the time to explain the ingredients. I rarely complain about service, but this instance really got my goat, especially since this kind of treat is pretty pricy.

The rawzagne will blow you away, these people know how to make began delicious! The food is creative, different and tasty, and best of all very good for you. Another queen west gem!

Tried the Bangkok salad with the avocado and cheese sandwich. Both were quite good. The dressing on the salad was very delicious. Loved the zucchini, edamame and spiralled carrots in the salad.
I think their service is very slow and the prices are quite High. For Half sandwich with a very small side salad, I paid about $ 17, so very overpriced.

Amazing, wholesome, fresh food. Had the green smoothie and the avocado, tomato and cheese sandwich. First time having raw food and it was so good! Good enough to make me consider converting. It is a little pricy, but health trumps money any day in my mind.

Tasty. Everything I have tried here was delicious. My favourite is Bangkok doc noodles. Prices are high but most of their ingredients are organic, which justifies the higher prices.

I just tried feelgood because I love vegan food and cannot eat dairy, so always looking for the next spot. I go to Fresh a lot, and Looooove their BBQ burger. Went to another one in liberty, Live, and was more impressed than ever!
Tried FeelGood, and i will not be back. I know vegan is overpriced, and generally don’t care, however for $ 25 i got a bite sized burger and noodles with a bite sized brownie. The burger was TASTELESS. It looked really pretty and sounded delicious, so when i tasted it i was so very disappointed — nothing, no flavour at all! The noodles were actually not bad at all, in honesty I would possibly try them again, but I wouldn’t pay $ 15 for them as they are very basic. The brownie was INEDIBLE! Lastly, the girl at the counter was rude. Not overtly rude, but just had this passive aggressive personality and could not be friendly if she tried. I don’t like that trend in Queen West, and won’t go to places with rude people (unless the food is amazing, and then i really don’t care anymore!).
I would not recommend this place. I should have looked at the reviews before i tired them!

Before finding this place I went to Fresh, but the wait for a wrap was 20 mins-​forget that!
I came across this place and reluctantly entered. I say this because it didn’t look like a place to eat. It kinda has a strange set up.
Inside, the front if the store is quite bare, but appeared clean. At first I couldn’t decide what I wanted but settled on the 2 salad combo. I needed to use the washroom and when I found it I was quite shocked! I had to go down the hallway (the walls and floor were filthy) and could see the kitchen from a distance. It looked quite dirty too.
Seeing the bathroom just topped the cake. It’s was gross! Had I seen all if this before I wouldn’t have ordered.
I went to pay and when I left I opened my bag. It was a super tiny container with my salad. What?! I paid $ 15 for that? Unbelievable.
The curry salad was tasty, but defiantly not worth that price.

I really wanted to give a higher rating as I really enjoyed the food (green smoothie and rice bowl). This restaurant did not honour their Unilocal check-​in offer. I was entitled to a free bliss ball by checking into Unilocal.The staff didn’t have a clue what I was talking about and just said they didn’t have any. This is very poor customer service.

Okay, so I’m an omnivore and I don’t have any dietary restrictions, but I do like vegetarian food a lot. Yes I know this place is vegan and I know the difference, but my point is that I do know a few things about eating vegan.
I came in looking for a quick snack/​pick-​up and got the Super Green Fuel. I have no idea what it was but it was $ 8 for a small snack size. I don’t mind paying that for a health drink, as long as it taste good. This did not. It tasted like it looked, green and yucky. I’m not sure what was in it, but it felt like they just added a bunch of things together. And for $ 8 that was the size of a small soda? Way too pricey. I’d rather just have wheatgrass juice.
Verdict: maybe I got the wrong thing, but I probably won’t be back.

Food is delish — fav is the avocado and cheese sandwich. Service leaves a lot to be desired. Twice I have called my order in so it’s ready by the time I got there and both times they forgot to punch it in and I ended up having to wait 10+ minutes when I got there. I expect great service when I’m paying $ 14 for a sandwich and unfortunately it’s not found at feel good guru.

I live a few doors down, and all of the food at FeelGoodGuru is fantastic. Although the prices do seem a bit high, the quality of the food and the intricacies of each dish can be seen. All time favourites = Avo & Cheese Sandwich (try ½ w/​salad); no bull buritto; hemp shake, juice cleanses (order in advance).
Best thing ever: cinnamon bun

I strolled in here a couple months ago and ordered a watermelon juice, no more than 400ml, and «meh» tasting. I was expecting it to be a bit pricey, since it’s a health food joint right across from Trinity Bellwoods, but 10 F*CKING dollars? Move your store to Beverly Hills where it belongs. Jesus.
Good for you if you can afford this bizzniss, but for me… Never again.

I found myself in my old hood with a craving for something healthy. After a few taps of my trusty Unilocal app, I went to feelgoodguru and got a super green smoothie. It was delicious and exactly what I was looking for. The girl at the counter was super helpful.
The drink came out to just over $ 10. The drink that I wanted happened to be in a glass bottle (they did have others that were in a disposable clear cup) so I had to pay $ 1 for the bottle, which is refundable if I bring it back in. Not a big deal, because I know I will be back to check out more of their goodies.

This is a review based on their catering, I didn’t visit the restaurant.
I LOVE this place. I am a total non-​vegan, but my boss and I occasionally do vegan catering for office meetings. We’ve ordered from Belmonte Raw a few times but this place was a zillion times better.
First of all, the customer service is just excellent. Moira (I think she’s the owner) answered by initial call and helped me through the menu and didn’t push for me to spend top dollar.
We ended up ordering 8 juices, the Bangkok Pad Thai, Kale salad, Quinoa Salad, No Bull Burritos, Cheese and Avocado sandiwches and an assortment of treats.
Everything was seriously amazing — beautiful to look at and actually tasted good. There were some brownies with some kind of hot chilis added (delicious)
I highly recommend the pad thai, burritos and kale salad.
Delivery guy was super nice and on time.

I went here for the first time with a friend of mine. I was so happy with what I ordered. It was so wholesome and healthy (you feel it). So far, I’ve tried the earth burger, the avocado and cheese sandwich, the hemp shake elevate, as well as the super green smoothie, and a couple of the desserts… My friend and I split that raw slice of chocolatey goodness, and I’ve tried one of those energy, raw cocao and goji bars– delicious. Something I can not seem to get enough of… Make Kale not War salad. Everything is amaZing. The staff are friendly and informative. This is the new place to be. Hopefully soon, they will accept the LiveGreen Card. :)

Mmm, the food is so tasty here and you know you are fuelling yourself up with some good. Really informative staffs here and never rush you to order (and we’re talking about the most indecisive person ever).
The only downside of this restaurant (and the reason why I refuse to visit it more often) is because it’s SO expensive and overpriced. Yes, the food is organic, fresh, etc. But, it really drives more people away from opting for healthier choices. The takeout box for the salad and/​or noodles is extremely tiny for the price you pay for — it doesn’t even fill me up! Since I’m forking out over $ 10, I do expect some degree of fullness. It’s more of a snack for me and I’m already a tiny person to begin with.
Do see myself coming back here in the future, since my best friend is a vegan — but, don’t ever see myself coming here on a consistent basis even if I’m usually in the Queen West area.

Feel Good Guru is a new addition in the Trinity Bellwoods area serving up organic/​raw food. They kind of price themselves out of the market, with a Chinese-​style takeout box of soba noodles (the Tokyo Toss) ringing in at almost $ 16 with tax and tip. Why does eating healthy always have to be so damn expensive?
I’ve been to other raw/​vegan places before that I think are a lot more creative in terms of the dishes they put out.
There isn’t much in the form of seating, so you’ll want to get your meal to go (perhaps across the street at the Trinity Bellwoods Park?)
The herb garden on the wall is quite interesting, and there is fresh lime/​lemon water at the counter for free which is refreshing.
Happy to see another raw/​vegan option, but still nothing special.

Git in here and git yo’ kale on!
I liked Feel Good Guru right off the bat because the owner seems to like fun names, catchy slogans («make kale, not war!») and punny (healthful) references. We were off to a great start, sight unseen.
Walking into the location — across from Trinity Bellwoods: perfect for an impromptu feel good picnic! *you’re welcome for the tip* — made me want to dust off my spork (best utensil ever) and jump into the options. Here’s what I tasted samples of:
— smoothie made with hemp, dates and bananas
— green juice
— kale salad
— raw falafel, wrapped in collard leaves
— burrito ««
— raw pizza
— carrot cake
— chocolate brownie
Hmm. The list confirms: I definitely did *not* just eat with my eyes.
All was great, and I would (will!) happily eat any of it again, but a special shout-​out goes to the raw pizza topped with divine pesto, and the varied flavour and amazing textures of the desserts. I defy even the most cynical to test any of the treats on offer and then argue that «feel good» and «taste good» can’t go hand in hand (challenge extended, Toronto!).
On a note that doesn’t involve putting things in mah mouth: the staff is warm and open while fielding questions, the space is crisp and fresh and white (hollllla for the edgy edible wall installed), and the service was fast. Though the restaurant is geared towards takeout, there is space for a few people to sit and munch while looking out the window and giving passersby two thumbs up.
Unilocal note: Feel Good Guru is still in the process of getting up and running, so certain small tweaks are still happening; when I went, for instance, prices for menu items weren’t listed which led to a total guessing game when I hit the register. Eventually I think they’re aiming to be open 10 – 8, 7 days/​week.
