| - I was really excited to try Salad Days given the rave reviews I've seen. I got there around 1:30pm on a weekday ---it can be tricky it find if you don't work in the Cumberland building and you are coming from the Bloor & Yonge subway station like I was. Make sure to read the signage that leads you to Cumberland.
There was a line up at the shop when I got there, and I really appreciated the posters all the interior and exterior of the shop so you can decide what you want as you are lining up. The daily lunch special looked really good. It was the greek salad with sweet potato mash and grilled chicken and salmon if I remember correctly.
The employees at the counter were very fast and efficient, kudos to them for being able to work so fast in such a tiny space! The wait was not long at all, and everyone there seem to be regulars because the employees already know what they were going to order once they see them. All the good signs so far.
As I progressed through the line I realize that the register had no interac machine, so I looked all over the store to see if there was a sign saying it was cash only. There was none. I was next in line already so I had to go get cash from an ATM down he street before coming back again.
I only had to wait about 2 minutes this time (before I was sure which of the delicious salads I want to order actually) and I decided on the small nicoise salad. I saw that they had smoked salmon on the menu so I asked for smoked salmon to be added on as extra. The cashier just looked at me with a stunned expression on her face, and said there is already two scoops of tuna that comes with the salad. I said that's amazing, I did not want to substitute tuna for smoked salmon, but I want to pay to have an extra portion of smoked salmon on the side. She still didn't seem to understand what I'm talking about. So I asked how much they charge for an extra portion of smoked salmon, she hesitated and asked how many pieces I wanted. Now it's my turn to be surprised. The menu clearly had an option to add smoked salmon to a customized salad for an added cost but she just refused to do that for me for some reason.
So I walked out with my salad feeling quite let down to be honest. The salad itself is great, very fresh like many others have said, not as big of a portion like many others have stated in my opinion but overall, it was a fair deal considering its location and quality.
Would I go back again? Yes, if I'm in the area, and is looking for a fresh, good quality inexpensive option.
I definitely want to give this place another chance, but they definitely need to work on their customer service.
