| - Yikes. Their menu update is stab in the heart to any regulars.
Things that have changed:
SIZE:
--------------------------------
Maybe a year ago, Urban Herbivore (UH) changed their take-out packaging size. I thought maybe I remembered it wrong, but I'm glad other reviewers noticed it too. Now, their eat-in bowls are about a third smaller, which bring it in the "not quite filling enough" category for me, but for smaller stomachs and diet chasers, it is probable a welcome change.
PREMIUM TOPPINGS:
--------------------------------
UH tried to secretly discourage customers from choosing their more premium toppings months ago by moving them to the back where people would not be able to see and that new customers would otherwise not know to ask for. With the new menu, the premium toppings cost $1.50 each, including avocado, BBQ tofu, fried vegetables, and a few others.
DRESSING:
--------------------------------
There are more choices now, but they got rid of old ones, including my favourite Red Wine Dijon. I had chipotle. That was a no.
NUTS & SEEDS:
--------------------------------
What was once "nuts and seeds" is now only "seeds".
TIPS:
--------------------------------
I still forget this even after over a year of visiting this place: get your forks, spoons, and napkins when you pay. Counter-intuitively, but most likely due to their layout, you have to grab cutlery before you get your food.
What used to cost me $11.50 would now cost me at least $15. While the taste is still great, the price is a bit steep for a casual lunch. I haven't visited their competitor, Freshii, in a while. However, I'm inclined to look elsewhere.
