Freshii

In terms of healthy lunch options in Toronto FiDi, Freshii is average and therefore priced appropriately. I’ve had the Mediterranean bowl with grilled chicken, and although the ingredients taste fresh, it doesn’t compare to the more complex combinations at iQ. The bowl itself is a heartier portion, and I like the addition of roasted red peppers and olives. Ultimately, it’s a refreshing lunch, but nothing particularly memorable.

Gourmet salad… pretty straightforward… lots of veggies, maybe some grains, cheese, or meat.
The same price as a full meal at some other fast food places, Freshii assembles your salad when you order. There are a pre-​set choices for salads, bowls and wraps all with the option to take out something you don’t like or pay a bit more for something you want to add.
It’s been a while since I went as I don’t work in the area anymore but when IQ Foods opened up across from them, they lost business and had to introduce a weekly $ 5 menu. I’m not positive they still do the $ 5 deals but it was good enough for me to choose them over the competition…

This place works for me — relatively fast, cheap, healthy food. Not a lover of chain anything, there are times when we are all faced with Sophies Choice of lunch; Chain Restaurant or Wait Until Dinner. I chose life! Well, at least in the case of Freshii…
Fantastic spot for CCFs (culinary control freaks) who like to micro-​manage the ingredients and prep specs of everything that passes through their lips. My personal strategy for success here is to go salad or bowl — the wrap adds little food value/​flavour IMHO — and I have found it better to leave out the protein.
The Bliss bowl actually includes double avocado and a smidge of goat cheese resulting in a super creamy take on a quasi-​Asian brown rice bowl. Had it once by accident and must say that I’ve become quite a fan.
When you’ve got to go chain, go here. You’ll definitely feel better about your decision in the short and long term.

Came to Freshii today to meet up with a good friend from high school as he works close to the Financial District. My intention was to be able to custom make a salad to control the amount of calories I would be consuming since I dined out for both lunch and dinner yesterday, and tonight is the Unilocal event, which means lots and lots of boozing… especially this time around.
My salad consisted of:
Spinach
Egg Whites (extra $)
Double Protein: Oven Roast Turkey Breast (extra $)
Feta Cheese (extra $)
Sweet Corn
Roasted Peppers
Onions
Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
Mandarin Orange
Cucumbers
Diced Tomatoes
Artichoke Hearts
Sundried Tomatoes
Cucumber Dill Salad Dressing
My salad came to a grand total of $ 13.99. Some of the ingredients were missing (artichoke hearts, cucumbers).
For this price point, there are better places to dine at that will leave both your wallet and tummy feeling satisfied. I also noticed the sodium intake from my sodium salad was over 1,000mg and this was further highlighted by a feeling of thirst upon returning to the office.

Good fast service
salmon was very cold however.

Love freshii. The Liberty Village location is just getting established, but already I find myself there a few times/​week. So happy to have one in my work ‘hood.
