| - I wish I could write about the quality of the food. Unfortunately, EFC is inaccessible to many people. "Evolution" is a misnomer. An evolutionary eatery would encourage everyone to try its l food and make it from unsprayed, organic, and hormone-free ingredients. Healthful? Not so much. Trendy? Maybe. Comfortable? No! Every table and chair is high and made of industrial metal. I use crutches and can't sit there at all. But it's not just people with disabilities who feel unwelcome. I live nearby and almost never see anyone sitting there, while nearby eateries are mobbed. Getting fresh-made meals and juices requires standing and waiting, so I only sampled two pre-made juices from the fridge: Pure Gold (carrot, orange, apple, pineapple, lemon) and Watermelon Wonder (watermelon, lime) juice (pleasant, but surely no wonder). Toronto has countless cold-pressed juice/fresh food stands and sit-down eateries. I can get very nice juices across the street at St. Lawrence Market and enjoy them at one of many accessible tables. EFC will eventually have to comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians Disability Act, so why not be accessible from the start? AODA is already in place. The owner is either waiting for deadline or doesn't expect his business to last that long.
