I've always been so curious about Fresh since these restaurants are always packed whenever I walk by them. Now that the curiosity has been curbed, I won't be back.
I didn't want to be too adventurous so I decided to go with the Grilled Vegetable and Pesto Burrito - with grilled red pepper, zucchini & sweet potato with pesto, house mayo, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, red onion & alfalfa sprouts ($10). I thought this was a pretty safe choice... but it was incredibly bland. It was as if they grilled the vegetables without any seasoning and placed it in the wrap. I couldn't taste the pesto at all.
I added a side of Sweet Potato Fries - with dip ($4.25) to my burrito. I complimented them with the garlic mayo. Fries were just okay, not very crispy. I still ate most of them because the garlic mayo was really good (and it helped save the burrito...).
My boyfriend went with the vegan, gluten-free Banana Nut Pancakes ($10 for triple/$8 for double). Not at all satisfying. They were incredibly dense and didn't have a great flavour to them. My boyfrend always eats everything on his plate (and mine) but this time there was quite a bit left on his plate.
Maybe this place is really great by vegan standards...but this just didn't cut it for me.
