| - I read the reviews from the other IQ locations and heard people raving about their salads. Coincidentally this location in particular just opened not long ago, so I decided to give it a try for the first time. I got the C++ salad, for $12.
I thought people were exaggerating in their reviews about how good it was...but clearly they aren't. I saw one girl write about her feeling 'clean' after eating it and I'm like wtf - but i completely know what she means now lol. I got that same feeling - how? I don't know. but you do.
When i first got the salad box, i was disappointed because it seemed like i paid for some overpriced small salad. but after i finished it, i completely agree that it may seem small, but it's actually very filling. But keep in mind I got the C++ salad which had chicken in it - not sure how filling the meatless salads are.
One thing i really liked was that they default put dressing on the side for you, so you can pour as much or as little as you like. the dressing is really good - its a dijon mustard salad dressing. it complements the salad really well and improves your appetite due to its sour / tangy taste.
One other thing i really liked was that they source everything locally - and they are proud of this. you can see them displaying where in ontario they got the mustard, the cabbage, etc. great way to support local farmers and businesses.
their shop is super cute and this location has little nooks for people to sit/eat. i think i saw 2-3 tables, but no more. also love how they have a two level bench for people to chill on while waiting for their food. def helps seeing how i noticed sometimes they have line-ups out the door.
i will make sure to try their baked desserts or drinks next time - they do look expensive, but i have a feeling it's worth it. one thing that caught my eye was the sweet potato brownie?
**tip: they are cashless, so make sure you have cards on you for paying.
