| - This is the perfect place for business people in the area. I used to visit this place two or three times a week back when our office was next door. It is sort of hidden inside of a convenience store, but once you find it, you'll make the regular trip there for breakfast and lunch. Picture a small cafeteria with ultra friendly staff who knows the regulars by name.
The food here is fresh and cheap. You can get omelettes for breakfast served on bread, a wrap, or on it's own -- for $3. Lunch consists of different daily specials, typically a stir fry or meat of some sort served on rice or noodles. A small portion is $4 (enough for most people) or $7 for a large (my size). They also have gourmet sandwiches, fruit smoothies, wraps. Everything is made to order. For Yonge and Eglinton, the service and prices are excellent!
The biggest draw to this place is its DIY salad bar. There's easily over 50 items (maybe even 100) and you mix everything you want -- fruits, veggies, nuts, dressing, etc. and pay by weight -- $5/lb. You can get a nice meal sized salad in the $5-10 range. I love to mix in fruit with my salads, so the DIY style was perfect for me.
They also have frequent user cards, where you can earn a free meal after 9 visits. I've had countless free meals over the 4+ years I spent there. I miss this place!
