salad's are always fresh and delicious. Price is very resonable since you get alot of unlimited topping choices. Parkking can be difficult depending of time of day.

Quite pricey for a salad and long wait times. Friendly service. Food is pretty good.
They have delivery so I was excited to get healthy food delivered but they don't deliver to Yonge and Eglinton and the location at Yonge and Eglinton doesn't have enough staff working to deliver. What the heck?
This chain is frustrating. It's a good concept but if they're going to offer delivery they shouldn't half ass it. -

First visit and last visit.
I ordered a bowl that was labelled as a best-seller on the menu board.
Since the order card listed premium toppings with additional prices and then unlimited toppings with no prices listed, I thought I'd add a couple things. Sadly the order card is misleading. The "unlimited toppings" are in fact not unlimited and cost extra for each. I did choose to pay an extra $1 for avocado, but there were only a few small chunks which left me feeling disappointed and ripped off.
The bowl did taste ok, and the ingredients were fresh and almost healthy but the price left a bitter taste in my mouth. It was essentially a big bowl full of brown rice with a few token veg thrown in with too much salt.
I doubt I will ever return since there are so many other options in this city that offer more yum for less cash. Honestly... $11 for a lackluster and tiny lunch is quite ridiculous. -

If you're looking for a relatively healthy fast food option, there aren't too many choices in the neighbourhood, or anywhere in general. I do come here for the slightly over priced "bangkok" burrito (Brown Rice, Roasted Chicken, Carrots, Cucumber, Mushrooms, Bean Sprouts and peanut sauce) for $7, which is tasty for the most part, but nothing to write home about.
I don't get coming here for a salad when there are several markets in the vicinity. But this place is busy during lunch hours and there is usually line up of girls coming out of their yoga classes.
The frozen yogurt is ok, but there's homade icecream just around the corner at xococava! Yeah yeah.. it's not frozen yogurt but it's a billion times yummier.
If this was a singles pick up joint, I may give it a higher rating as it easily has a ratio of 3 to 1 women to men, but it's not so it gets a Meh.Listed in: Ridonckulousness! (Oh no you…

Healthy food gets them up to three. At least the food tasted real, and not very processed. As a person who takes healthy food very seriously, this is important to me. That being said, the Freshii Bowl I ordered was a little heavy on the brown rice, and didn't have enough veggies or protein to be perfect. All in all, it was good. It tasted great.
The problems are twofold. I was in there for half an hour to forty minutes. During that time, there were two songs on rotation. Two songs. It's enough to drive you insane. Sure they were decent indie rock tunes but man, I must have heard them each seven or eight times.
The other problem is their gift cards and their stamp cards. The stamp cards are only good for a calendar month, so if you are lucky enough to start on the first, and eat there all the time, you might get one (maybe two if you go every other day) loyalty reward meals. It's hardly worth carrying the card. Their gift cards expire pretty darn fast too, like 3 months or so. I had a fifty dollar gift card I almost lost out on.
But.... at least it's not deep fried or made from mystery meat. -

Bland, boring, slightly overpriced food - how perfectly fitting for the Yonge/St. Clair corridor. Harsh, maybe, but I have given Freshii many chances and have never failed to be underwhelmed. It's healthy, I suppose, but just not very good.

Freshii is a great discovery in the food wasteland of Yonge & St. Clair.
Except for the Charity Juice bar beside Good Life (where my friend Drew works) there is no option for a flourlesss meal that is to go at this $.
They have my standing order & when they see me 2-4x's per week ~ on it goes. I get double veggies & all the fresh (3kinds) of lettuce they can pack in - to squeeze the top down!
Its a great high energy - low protien meal. With my work, gym, home & meeting's in the area ~ I don't feel so left out! -

Cheap, healthy food.
Great wraps, interesting brown rice bowls, and an occasional frozen yogurt.
If you're a sucker for membership cards keep in mind that it expires at the end of the month, so get your free wrap before it runs out. -

OK, I tried the wrap and WHAT A WASTE!
Seriously, I got the tuna wrap and they literally must have shredded the tuna into tiny little pieces and then put a thimbleful of it into a giant stack of lettuce and wrapped that in a dry piece of cardboard and rolled it up. That's how bad the wrap was. I had to unwrap it and eat it with a fork and it was bland and bad. Don't get a wrap here. Stick with the salad.Listed in: Lunch at Yonge/St. Clair

Menu is unnecessarily complicated and it feels a little condescending. I'm serious when I say, older adults with a high-school or college-only education, will be confused. You have to know how to read it properly and order it, in the proper order, and there are little papers to fill out.
Also, the promotions are too strict and a little unfair. Right now they have a promotion with nearby gyms where you get 20% off your first purchase, 35% off the second, and then 10% off subsequent purchases. They meticulously verify your gym membership in their records and make sure you haven't already used the 20 and 35% discounts. So, new customers always get a better deal and existing clients. I would have rather seen a consistent discount card like 15-20% instead of these fluctuating discounts. After I used the 35% discount on the card, I brought in a new card so I could get the 20% off again, and they wouldn't let me. I found this arbitrary, because there's nothing on the website in Terms and Conditions which say "One card per customer fore the lifetime of the promotion.". When I go to a store and I have a pile of coupons, I expect to be able to bring a new one in each time and use it, unless the coupon specifically prohibits it.
To round it all out, the Fiesta wrap I got was bland. They were also out of tomatoes, not just once, but twice. Evidently, their supplier had issues - well, maybe they should change suppliers temporarily? Tomatoes are a fairly staple ingredient.
I will only go back, a) as long as the discount lasts and b) only if I'm in not in the mood for anything else in the area. One positive, is that you can order ahead with an iPhone app, also, another positive, is that the food, albeit bland, does indeed taste fresh.
I have also been to the Washington DC store, and it was a better experience. -

The frozen yogurt is great especially when you having it with a friend!
Would not comment on the services since the 2 girls are kind of indifference.. no welcome, no thank you...no smile...
The yogurt toppings selections is great! I have the blueberry and mango and the fruits are both fresh.
You sure that it is really LOW FAT?? Or it is a trick?? This tastes so rich and yummy! -

Am surprised but not THAT surprised to see that Freshii's been getting some sub-par reviews.
I read about the founder in a Globe & Mail article and was impressed and couldn't wait to try this place. My first one was the Bangkok Chicken burrito. $6.95, not bad...I was going to opt for the veggie since I'm not that big on meat but dammit, the veggie burrito cost the same if not more (definitely not less than), so I went ahead and ordered the Bangkok Chicken requesting "more vegetables than brown rice".
It came grilled which I was impressed with. Then I ate it. Then I realized that there was A TON of brown rice and not enough veggies. Then I thought to myself, next time I'll just go to Booster Juice (which is literally 15 steps away) and spend $6.95 and be happy about it.
Then a week later I went back to Freshii to give its Veggie Wrap a chance. It was about $7.95. Expensive, and my mind wandered over to Booster Juice again but I stuck to my guns. I even asked for tofu (an extra $1.50). The wrap arrived, I paid $9.52 for this thing.
I ate it. I was incredibly unimpressed and felt extremely ripped off. There were veggies, a pinch-ful of chick peas, sun-dried tomatoes...my tofu. It was dry, no balsamic dressing like the menu said. It was gross-dry. Basically, it was all those things wrapped in a tortilla.
Honestly, I could've just gone to Metro next door and spent $9.52 for a week's worth of this wrap. I could've spent $1 more and gone to Booster Juice for a Regular Drink Combo plus grilled sandwich.
The good thing about this place is that I bitched on Twitter and they responded right away. I still have to email them about my experience before they decide to do anything about it. -

Before I went to this place, I was under the impression that a fast food, salad assembly line, should be fresh, tasty, and fast. But I was terribly mistaken.
I gave Lettuce Eatery a fighting chance, frequenting the place on many a lunch hour, because nothing healthy was close by. But the place never ceased to amaze me. Despite its many workers behind the counter, almost always outnumbering the clientele, they just couldn't seem to get the food out. Going there was stress inducing because I was constantly having to stop myself from jumping the counter and grabbing the bloody ingredients myself. The only thing that kept me from behaving so erratically was the fact that the choices behind the counter were either wilted, tasteless, or just plain uninteresting.
Unless you are in a self-destructive mood, and feel like trying your tastebuds or giving your patience a real run for its money, the place is just no good. -

The wraps here are always delicious, although the atmosphere is a bit clinical. It's almost like eating in a tiled bathroom. Still, for fast food I can't think of anywhere better in the neighborhood.

I was on the way to a yoga class with Jennifer K. & only ordered a low fat frozen yogurt (strawberry & banana). It was so good! I will def. be coming back to try other things next time. Fast, decently priced.
