Picnic

The few times I ate at picnic I found the food to be decent. But then I had a sandwich and the bread was stale and the egg salad/​lettuce seemed old and sad.
A friend of mine recently went to eat here and apparently one of the people that works there told him that almost all the food from Picnic is made/​assembled in China then flown over!!! No wonder the bread is stale. Not sure if this is true– but I could believe it.

Decent place for grab-​and-​go food.
Picnic’s thai lemongrass soup is a favourite amongst my coworkers. Their chia seed dessert pudding is comparable to Belmonte Raw for a fraction of the price.
Note: Picnic turns off their frozen dessert machine at 5:30pm. Come before then if you want to try their frozen greek yogurt dessert! I like to add chocolate drizzle to mine :)

I ordered a large soy chai latte and got a cup of foam with little soy chai latte. I wish businesses train their baristas before letting them serve customers. Now I see why there was no one here in the morning. They should consider taking coffee/​tea off their menu unless they make their staff get some decent training. Anyone can push a button and stick a cup of milk under a frother. Won’t be coming back here in the morning for my caffeine fixes. Very disappointed.

Just ate here today for the first time. Was excited to try it out as it’s always nice to find a new lunch place for when I fancy buying my lunch. I spent just under $ 15 on two hot items. The mac and cheese (which I thought I might have with salad for dinner) and a falafel wrap (to eat for lunch). Long story short, I won’t be back to Picnic although if budget is your top concern then it might be worth trying again in order to locate a couple of worthwhile items. The staff were friendly when I checked out which was nice but it was no substitute for blah food. The falafel wrap was small, had a couple of thin slices of pepper and some spinach leaves but was totally dry. The wrap had that microwave taste (with one crispy end from being kept warm I imagine) and the mac and cheese was mushy (overcooked pasta), low on cheese flavour and high on garlic seasoning. If either item had been good I would have overlooked the weaker item and given the place the benefit of the doubt. As it is I’ll skip it and maybe go with some pricier but tastier options that are available nearby.

I tried the coffee at Picnic and it wasn’t half bad! Originally dropped by to pick up some breakfast but nothing appealed to me so I just got coffee. Rating stays the same.
I don’t know what it is about this location… it just feels super cold and sterile. I’d prefer to pick up food from the Longo’s across the hall than wander further into the store here.

I get food from regularly at pinic as they have the best thai lemongrass soup. It is gluten amd dairy free.

Their sandwiches and salads are good, but they don’t have a lot of selections for juices in the morning. I wanted to try the green infusion or healthy sunrise juice, and I am told every time that they are not making it today. Not sure if they are ever going to make it, since I have been there for a week straight and was told that they don’t make the drink today. The prices are fairly decent, especially for the food quality.

Working downtown and always being on the go, i don’t have the patience to wait in line to get food, especially healthy food.
my coworker told me about this place and I decided to try it, and was pleasantly content.
I got a half tuna sandwich and a taco salad, with taxes came to $ 10.85, not bad at all for a good balance.
so I’m usually hesitant to eat cold sandwiches because they don’t taste good (like the ones they have at Longo’s) however, I was very happy with my lunch. it tasted fresh and wasn’t overly cold.
I like how with the purchase of a salad you have the option to get one of the dressing of your choice available, and you determine how much or how little dressing you want to add. Again, the ground turkey that was in my salad wasn’t overly cold, I really enjoyed my salad too.
I don’t know how busy they get at lunch time but I went at 11:40ish and I was out in less than 5 minutes.
Definitely will return to try other food here.
