Yonge St. Is the worst ever in terms of food. It's basically a trinket shop mixed with a strip mall and the ind of variety in food you find on the side of a highway.
Papaya Hut is an oasis in a desert of suck.
the guy who owns it is very hands on. they always have a "deal" he's pushing with the smoothies plus the sandwiches, but here's the thing; he really knows what he's talking about.
You can get the cheapest E3Live shots here, and the smoothies he makes are actually organic, actually good for you and the prices are great considering the competition.
I like the thai texturized tofu sandwiches and nature burgers. it's got a mini diner feel to it, which makes for a great quick getaway from the loud, suburban toxins that run rampant on Yonge.
The best is that al the men who work here seem like rough construction workers, which is kinda a rad contrast tot h super healthy menu. The worst is that the bathrooms are all busted and rapey feeling. They're clean, but in that way that they never really seem clean, even when they are.
Either way, on a scorching summer day, Papaya Hut might save your life.
