I got the Enzo here after getting it at another location and really enjoying it. It's basically a poke bowl as it's their "Japan" item. This rice bowl did not disappoint me. Had the same quality as the other location so they have consistent quality among the locations. The veggies are fresh, spinach was nicely chopped making it easier to eat and had no bad spots. Same with the avocado half. It also comes with sauce on the side but the bowl is flavourful enough that I prefer the bowl without sauce. This crave also has a variety of fresh drinks like watermelon juice, and a ton of options from greenhouse juice. Overall, I would recommend this crave location. read more

I've tried a variety of different Crave boxes before, including their Il Padrino (I really liked the tangy flavours, but found it to be watery by the time it was transported to my office) and Pablo's Daughter (didn't enjoy as much, primarily because the poached egg was over cooked and I found the flavours to be muted and there to be too much starch packed in that one hefty box). This time I chose to try the Banh Mi, substituting the chicken for salmon. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. While the flavours were bright and vibrant (the kimchi and jalapeños added a truly flavourful punch), the portions were tiny for the price point. My piece of salmon was dry and over cooked - it was a flat fillet that was over seasoned with some salt rub. Moreover, the box was supposed to come with avocado, but it came without any! I felt utterly cheated... Crave serves decent dishes, but given the fact that now there's so much comparable competition that can act as substitutes, I'm unsure if I'll come back! read more

Love this place. Food is over the top fresh and tasty. Banh Mi with chicken is amazing with the kimchi, kale, avocado cucumber etc. The box is actually enough for 2 but I have no problem finishing it off. Highly recommend this place read more

This is my go-to place for a healthy lunch. Not only is it healthy but tasty too! My 2 favourite lunch choices here is either the Banh Mi or Gusto. If you worry that the salad is not filling enough, you can add rice for no extra charge. I'm always very satisfied with the Banh Mi salad with rice. It has a perfect mix of kale, cilantro, avocado, jalapeño, carrots, red cabbage, kimchi, and chicken...so refreshing and tasty! I was never a salad person until I discover places like Crave. Never would have thought that I would have cravings for a salad! read more

I am not a health-conscious eater. In fact, even the thought of salad makes me grumpy. I would never choose healthy food over tasty food.... but now I don't have to. The Californication steam box includes quinoa (you can choose to get brown rice), napa cabbage, snow peas, corn, peppers, and alfalfa sprouts. Sounds terrible but was delicious! All the ingredients complimented eachother well and went great with the tempeh that I had added. It filled me up without making me feel gross and helped me get through the rest of the day without snacking. No 4pm hanger surprise! It also comes with 2 sauces on the side (Next time I will opt to get 2 of the hot sauces instead of the peanuty one). A guilt-free lunch for $11 taxes in. Not bad for the underground path. Other menu options include breakfast, soup, and cold boxes. Verdict: I am a fan and no longer believe that healthy means bland/dull food. Will definitely go back to this place and recommend it to all. Bonus: they have a 'take a book, leave a book' case close to the pick-up area. read more

Crave Healthy Habits - Californication Steam Box with Tempeh - Gluten-Free Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

So basically, I bought grass for lunch. But, hey, don't knock it till you've tried it - this was still a tasty and appetizing meal! After hearing good things from various colleagues, I visited around 12:45 PM on a Wednesday afternoon and the lunch rush was basically over (lineup was very minimal). Unlike iQ Foods, I didn't have to wait 25 minutes just to order, food preparation was quick and efficient (I received my order less than 10 minuets after paying), staff were friendly and sweet, and very welcoming. I ordered the Californication Lunch Box (cabbage, snow peas, corn, peppers, alfalfa sprouts, peanuts, sesame seeds on quinoa), chicken, and honey sesame and thai peanut sauce. Don't let the picture fool you - this was actually really appetizing. The sauce made the salad - a wonderful sweetness, and the ingredients were extremely fresh, the veggies so crispy, great temperature, and by the end of the meal, you feel super refreshed. Yes, it's pricey, and portion size is just average. But, taking the whole experience into account (staff, wait times, freshness of ingredients, careful preparation, and decently sized menu), it was pleasant, and I'll be back. For my salad, I paid $11.26 after taxes. Note that the Richmond-Adelaide Centre location does NOT serve their famed breakfast menu (the TD Tower location does). read more

I ordered the Gusto Box during the $1 Ritual Lunch event, but the box is originally $11.95. It was not bad but I wouldn't pay $12 for this. I like that they give a decent amount of avocado and dressing, but there's definitely not enough chicken. read more

Crave Healthy Habits - Gusto Box ($11.95) - Gluten-Free Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This review is purely based on my Mealpal experience. As such, please kindly disregard this for regular purchases as the quality may differ. I have never thrown away a Mealpal order until now. Even when my sushi burrito was dripping with excess liquid like a wet towel, I soldiered on because I normally don't like wasting food if it is still edible. However, the Gusto I ordered from Crave Healthy Habits was beyond salvageable. The Gusto is a mixed salad with chicken, avocado, and leafy greens. When I arrived to pick up my Gusto, I noticed that all the Mealpal orders for the day were already made and were left sitting on the counter until their respective owners picked them up. Pre-making Mealpal orders isn't unusual for participating restaurants, but the quality just avalanched for my Gusto. The avocado already had black-brown patches and a rotten taste, meaning it probably wasn't the freshest even before it oxidized. The chicken was dry and scarce. The leafy greens that took up the majority of the box seemed wilted. Even the two salad dressings that came with the Gusto were sour. They were dairy based, so it's possible that the dressings were left out on the counter for too long. After two bites, I threw the whole box into the garbage. Despite the restaurant's self-proclaimed healthy menu items, this seemed worse for my body than stuffing myself with cake. I warn you to stay far away from here for your next Mealpal order. read more

*Will update with picture! Didn't like it the first time I got it - Banh Mi. Overly sauced and my kale was rotten - it was soggy and not fresh. Second time - Il Padrino 2.0 - supposed to be steamed but don't be mistaken apparently that doesn't mean warm. It was cold as well. Huge puddle of oil. Wasn't full after both times. read more

I've only tried Crave once, I ordered on Ritual because they were having a "First Time Taste" promotion and I ordered the Gusto box and I subbed the chicken for tempeh. This was also my first time trying tempeh and I was pleasantly surprised at how flavourful it was. They also didn't skimp on the tempeh, there were a good number of large pieces in my box. The box contained "massaged kale" and I thought that was just Crave being extra but I think I've been converted. Massaged kale somehow tastes so much better than regular kale. I don't know why. There was a light dressing on the salad and it tasted great, it didn't have any of the strong flavour that kale usually has, it was very pleasant. The other toppings were fresh as well and overall a decent portion size. I was full about 3/4 of the way through the box. The food also didn't make me feel heavy or gross as some foods tend to do. I would definitely try this place again, especially if Ritual does more promotions. Normally, the prices seem a bit high for what you're getting because it's essentially all vegetables. read more

They got rid of the only meal I ate there, which was called the Fiyah. The epic jerk sauce with coleslaw, rice and beans, and chicken was incredible. Suddenly, they replaced it with some crappy, light bowl. The only thing really left to eat is called Gusto - it's got chicken as well as spice and kale, etc. But I'll just go elsewhere. Otherwise, high quality food and ingredients. Very long wait times for a meal during lunch. read more

New spot for healthy eaters in the west end of the path, underneath 120 adelaide, near the york/adelaide stretch of the path. the place offers clean food with a delicious twist and has similar aesthetic characteristics. the place is conveniently located and easily spotted near the starbucks and rexall and is also reacheable form the outside with entrance directly from nearby buildings and even a direct entrance to the path from the outside near the york/adelaide intersection (north east corner). it has an appeal to the "clean" eating types. The place has an app which makes it easy to order food. 5/5 for the place the food is unprocessed (for the most part with the exception of some condiments and cream cheese) , clean and very fresh. each item has a good texture, freshness, a mixture of colours (means good for vitamin variety). the kitchen is open, which makes me trust them more, compared to hidden kitchens. the problem with the path has been that it is hard to get fresh, clean, unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods. you can argue and probably you would be right in finding a place that has some of these but not all of these criteria. food 5/5 the service is quite good and I never have to wait on my food for long. servers are generally nice. crave has an interesting ordering system, one is that you can pay with the app, but the second interesting part is that after you order there is a distinct sound made by the speakers, indicating to the servers that an order has been received and that it is time to prepare it for the customer. service has been great overall 5/5 reasonably priced when you consider other healthy option and definitely a great bang for your dollar!!! 5/5 looking forward to coming back. read more

I really like this place for work lunch/dinners that don't send me back to my desk feeling lethargic or bored. The portions are good, the ingredients are colourful, taste fresh and seem to be of high quality and the flavour profiles are surprisingly distinct for a PATH boxed lunch; real spicy Mexican themed dish, good pesto in the zucchini noodle dish, crunchy kimchi, etc. The combinations taste well thought out. Bowls are not bulked up by excessive grains, as is often the case in these sorts of inexpensive "fast healthy" places. They have Ritual, as well. Yum. read more

Ordered a large office order through food.ee for 20 people. Everyone loved the food - the portions were big and the taste was delicious. Lots of fresh, healthy options that satisfied everyone's different tastes (was going to write 'cravings' but that seemed eye-rolly)...from soba noodles to salads. I would definitely order from here again for the office lunch,and am happy that Crave uses food.ee read more

SO REFRESHING. If you're growing tired of IQ, give Crave a try. It's located in the Richmond-Adelaide center adjacent to the Starbucks that's across from a Rexall. I've tried two boxes and would get both again. The dressing is always provided on the side (win!) and is super tasty. All the greens are fresh and crisp. You line-up to order, pay by cash or credit, and give 'em your name. Then, wait to be summoned to receive your delicious lunch box. Tried - STEAMED: "Il Padrino" is a zucchini pasta with loaded green goodness and a delicious garlic-free basil pesto. COLD: "Lulumelon" is an interesting arugula salad with watermelon, chickpeas, edamame, corn, cucumber, feta cheese, mint, basil, quinoa or brown rice + avocado basil. Do something different for your tastebuds! read more

Made my first order on the Ritual app last week, and could not be happier with the bowl I got! They had a $1 lunch promo (a bowl I got was originally $12) which was definitely worth it! A very healthy option if you are short for time and need a bite for lunch in the city - my order was ready for pick up 5 mins early! Will definitely go again, especially if the promo comes back! read more

I'm not a health but, but do like to eat healthy from time to time. If u can cook me up some healthy fast food, I'm loving it. But when it's tiny portions of bland healthy food... Pass! Servings sizes are like a side salad, and the salmon I added were two thumb sized pieces (albeit nicely seasoned and cooked). For roughly $12, If you want a very light healthy snack, but I wouldn't call this a meal. read more

If you're looking for a quick breakfast before work, you should try their breakfast menu. Personally, I love their MORNING RUN! It's filled quinoa and yogurt topped with fruits, lemon curd, splash of syrup and nutmeg. It also has almonds on it, but I prefer with pecans. So if you're a pecan-type-of-person, you should definitely ask for that. I also asked for raisins on top to give that tangy-sweet taste on my yogurt. If you like raisins, ask if it's available. :) read more

Delicious healthy options. Adorable staff. Fast service. I would suggest checking your sauce to ensure it's what should come with your meal. My fav meal is Californication. Don't be dissuaded by the lineup, it moves fast. read more

Crave Healthy Habits - Under $5 for quinoa, fruit, almonds and lemon curd for breakfast - Gluten-Free Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Honestly, this is nothing special. Got the "Pablo's daughter"? box.... meh. Also, got no egg (allergy) but wasn't informed of any other substitutions I could have been given, or even a different salad dressing. Personally, the cheese on this was gross for me, in addition to there really not being much flavour. I would give another box a try just to be sure of how I felt but if this is the caliber, won't be purchasing again. read more

Everything I've had here is delicious. There's lots of great variety. Pretty healthy too. I'll be going here often. They also have snacks and drinks. Haven't tried their app where you can order ahead of time and get a discount. Lots of people seem to use it though. Just need to pick your order up whenever you can. read more

This is a place I walked by several times a day but didn't stop because I assumed the food would taste like crap, even if it was good for you. Last week, I saw a colleague getting lunch there and she convinced me to give it a shot. I have been back four more times (in the last week). So far, I have tried the Taj Mahal, Californication and Gusto (substituted salmon for chicken). They were all good - my favourite is the Taj Mahal. I would encourage anybody to try this place at least once. read more

This place is unreal. Totally underrated! I love the il padrino for lunch and the morning glory for breakfast ! So amazing

Their lunch boxes are always very good and I like that you can sub. tofu (being a vegetarian) for any of their boxes.

So let me first start by saying the food is great and tasty. The staff are very nice. I have been a patron since day one when this location opened. Californication and Il Padrino are the best lunch boxes. Very fresh and tasty and you don't feel sick in the afternoon like you would after eating a burger or burrito. BUT..... Over the last few months the portions have been shrinking faster than swimming in an ice cold ocean. I wasn't always sure but kept returning and now today the Californication with chicken was pathetic in size. In fact, the staff were weighing the food in front of the customers and recording the result into a spreadsheet. Very amateur and a turn off to the customer who was ahead of me and myself. I get how tight margins are and to survive you have to watch every piece of quinoa. However for $12 it is beyond ridiculous what they are serving. I guess they think if you work in corporate-land we are all rich and they can gouge us and we will keep coming? If you are wealthy, order 2 boxes at $24 and enjoy. For myself I wont return and 'give away' my money. The only thing I am craving is MORE FOOD! (bada-bump) ;) read more

I love this place and being able to order on Ritual makes it even better. I even customize my orders (no dressing etc.) and they always get it right. read more

Good breakfast options but so slow. They need to figure out a better way of getting food out the door. Not uncommon to take over 10 minutes and that is unacceptable. read more
