Had a green smoothie here. It was very good, on the sweeter side but one of the better green smoothies I've ever had. My boyfriend had the tall dark and handsome and he like his as well, it was also on the sweeter side but he is super picky and he finished it all. read more

This is a great option for a quick lunch while at work, it is located centrally and the bowls are healthy and affordable, I tried the jerk jackfruit, the rice was well seasoned and the jackfruit was yummy. It was fairly priced, I don't enjoy the smoothie too much, but it was fine. They are quick and the place was clean. read more

Working on a Saturday trying to get Financial Statements out at work. We had food ordered in through a third party delivery vendor. Wise and Wright does not charge delivery fees on the third party delivery website. I got the Gone Fishing bowl and the Berry Smoothie. Gone fishing was ok. It was not wow. I don't think the bowl was super healthy. Inside the bowl: coconut turmeric brown rice, seasoned kale, wild roasted salmon,cumin chili spiced black beans, edamame beans & sweet corn, purple cabbage, mango, cherry tomatoes, avocado, tortilla chips*, chipotle aioli. The salmon didn't taste roasted at all. It was more like just cooked fully. I totally missed that the bowl had black beans. If I knew I would have went with something else. Luckily there weren't a lot of black beans. The bowl was ok. The portion size is definitely big The berry smoothie was pretty good. It was definitely something that I could make at home and is not worth the $8.95. But I guess the price is for convenience. Everything was super filling. I am not a healthy healthy person. Might come back for their smoothie. read more

Got some takeout for lunch - ahi tuna poke salad. It was good size portion and very fresh.

This is soon going to be my favorite place. I only have one complaint - it closes too early :( wish healthy eateries in Calgary downtown were open for late hours. Tried out their unique healthy hot chocolate which is pretty filling and nutritious. I enjoyed their bowl and their mushroom avo toast is awesome. Would recommend this place for fresh & healthy eating. read more

This is my favourite place for fresh, healthy food in Calgary. Absolutely love every item that I've tried so far on the menu. I've recommended this place to numerous friends and they all love it as well - the food has a very authentic and farm-to-table feel. My guilty pleasure is their elixrs - pricey lattes... but I justify my purchase because of the bougie "superfood" ingredients that also taste bomb af. The interior is very hip and they always play great r&b music. My only critique is that the chairs aren't super comfy for those who want to sit and down and do work. Location is a little bit hidden inside the core on the first floor but visibly accessible via stephen ave. The service is usually speedy and always friendly. The owner is awesome and even remembers my name! Also love that almost everything is compostable/recyclable! Can't recommend this place enough. Try the rancheros breakfast bowl or coconut chicken bowl or anything with the turmeric brown rice, you won't regret it! read more

I've eaten here several times as it's close to my work. The food is delicious and freshly made to order. For breakfasts, I've had the Royal Benny (this one is a big portion - I had leftovers for lunch!), the avo toast, and the mango toast (which I don't think is on the menu anymore but it was fab). For lunch I've tried the Coconut Chicken Bowl, Yoga Fire Bowl, and the Jamaican me Crazy Bowl (spicy and delicious!). The coffees and smoothies are also all very tasty from what I've tried! One star off as I feel the prices are pretty high for what you get (portion sizes are kind of small). read more

Walking into W&W, a sign on the wall states "Quality over Quantity" greets you and you know you're in a good place. Your three categories to choose from for eats includes flatbreads, salads and wise bowls. I went with the Coconut Chicken Bowl (coconut turmeric brown rice, roasted coconut chicken and veggies in a curry sauce). Not only does it sound delish, it also tasted delish. They serve your food in compostable containers (yesssss) and you can choose to dine in or take out. I opted to stay and enjoyed my bowl with some refreshing infused water (available free of charge!) and gazed out the window as I ate my lunch. It does get busy (aka noisy) in here during the rush, so if you're looking for a quiet place to nourish yourself, I'd suggest to do carry out or come at an off time. read more

This place is amazing! We had the Jamaican Me. Easy bowl and it was delicious! We will be back tomorrow to try the Let's Taco Bout it Bowl

I was so happy to find a healthy yet delicious spot in downtown Calgary for a quick lunch in the middle of the workday. Wise & Wright has delicious bowls and salads (with some options for breakfast as well) that are served up quickly but taste incredible. I got the coconut chicken rice bowl that was perfect for a chilly day, and it was ready in less than 5 minutes. The portions don't look huge, but I filled up completely off my bowl - didn't even have room for the delicious vegan power cookies that I had my eyes on! Only wish the space was a little bigger. I felt rushed eating my meal as the place got busier, and it was a little chaotic trying to navigate around the tables to pick up my order, grab silverware, etc. read more

My absolute fave is the Crushed Avocado Toast with a soft poached egg. I would give 5 stars as the only pet peeve I have is that the egg has to be soft poached if that is what the restaurant is calling it on their menu. I keep getting medium poached and even hard poached egg. W&W needs to be consistent with their soft poached eggs. read more

I'm so glad Calgary FINALLY has a place that serves healthy food, a lot of it sourced locally. I love the minimalistic but modern interior. I have been here a couple times now, each time getting great service. The food is delicious and plated beautifully. The prices are pretty reasonable and there's a lot to choose from. I had the chicken coconut curry bowl (I don't know if that's the exact name), the portion was a good size, not too heavy but a good amount. ALSO they have coffee happy hour after 2pm! How do you even say no to $2 specialty coffees. I'm definitely going to be here often when I go downtown! read more

I foresee this being my new spot downtown. Wise and Wright make their mark by being Calgary's newest spot emphasizing on local, healthy eats and are doing an AMAZING job at it as well. Their menu is fresh, the service is quick and they all around have a very lively vibe. Above it all, I find the prices to be actually pretty reasonable compared to other healthy places. For $10 you can get a side salad (or soup) and one of their flatbreads, the chipotle squash one is delicious! I also recommend you try their cashew cup, great treat for later! Most of their menu is vegetarian (and possibly could be made vegan?) and you have the option of adding chicken to their dishes if you like (and they don't skimp out on it either!) Like any place downtown, it can get pretty busy during the lunch rush and sitting fills up quite quickly just as a heads up. It's a small joint so it can feel a little cramped at times. Overall, I love the place so far and can't wait to try out more items. read more

O.M.G!! Hands down the best restaurant I've come across if you're looking for gluten free or vegan food. The food is literally out of this world! read more

I went here twice while in Calgary for a week. Had avocado toast one morning and the mushroom toast the other. Both delicious. Also got the tall dark and handsome smoothie both times. Have never experimented with mushrooms and mushroom powder in my smoothies. It was really good! The only thing I didn't like was the price but work as paying ;) read more

Great option for healthy food! Food is incredibly fresh, tasty and seasoned well. Appreciated the gluten free and alternative milks

The best bowl in town!! We had the avocado toast, coconut chicken bowl and the jerk chicken bowl. All the food was thoroughly enjoyable. I wish there were more Wise and Wrights in Canada. read more

My new spot for coffee and quick lunch. there are aslo healthy food option available . read more

This place is so much more than coffee and snacks. I have been here 2 days in a row for lunch and it is healthy yet delicious!! The flatbread and salad is a great value ($10) as I often prefer more than 1 item for lunch. The kale, quinoa and broccoli salad is my new addiction. The ingredients are super fresh and everything is made to order. They also have brunch and loaded toast which is what I'm going for next time. The cashew cup is to die for! It's like a fancy Reese's peanut butter cup but with cashew and real chocolate. This is definitely my new lunch spot! read more

I love all the healthy choices popping up around town. Made a visit to Wise and Wright before a rowing class. They have lots of options for all kinds of diets, and I like their use of real cutlery, and recyclable to go containers. It's a bit on the pricier side but you are paying for originality and quality food. For the time being, they offer $2 premium coffees from 2:30-6pm Mon to Friday. Had a pretty smooth and creamy capuccino. There is almond milk available for non dairy drinkers. Will definitely be going back to try the breakfast/ brunch menu. read more

Upon seeing their Instagram account, I was immediately intrigued. Wise and Wright definitely seemed to have a comprehensive menu that included all the trending health foods, such as quinoa, kale, and smoothies among other items. As a person who is quite active and is somewhat conscious of what I eat, I was definitely excited to try it, but unfortunately, it ended up being a huge let down. The space itself is cozy and cute, tucked right beside the Cactus Club Cafe in the heart of downtown. I ordered the vegetable super bowl with roast chicken, and for a price tag of $14, it was far from "good value". The food was... bland. The roasted vegetables in the dish had a hint of spice, but lacked essential seasoning (salt and pepper) that would've really boosted the flavour. The same could be said for the chicken, which was also incredibly dry. The thing that really sealed this 2-star review for me was that they didn't properly debone the chicken and that there were small pieces of bone that I had to remove while I ate. Wise and Wright, thank you for attempting to provide Calgarians with a healthy alternative for lunch, however, I will not be coming back. read more

3.5/5. Wise and Wright is very expensive but has some cool ingredients. A keeper in a place like Calgary, which has tons of fast food and expensive dining but not as much in between. Takes about an hour for them to make your food if you order via uber eats. The gf brownie and chocolate smoothie were good. Tasted like the real thing! The ranchero bowl was a pass- it was $17 for a little bit of fish and tons of rice. Worth a try if you have money in your wallet and need something relatively quickly. read more

Stopped in here while traveling from Seattle. Loved the look and atmosphere which drew me in to check it out. Their health food options are really great whether your looking for breakfast, something refreshing, lunch or dinner. I had their savory breakfast muffin which tasted really fresh and packed full of healthy ingredients. I also enjoyed their Matcha latte. Check this place out. It's sure to be your next fav. p.s - they have fast, reliable internet. :) read more

I worked close to this place for years. It is by far the best place to eat in downtown Calgary and usually packed. All items are healthy, made with high quality ingredients and tasty. If you have not tried it yet, I strongly recommend it. read more

Ordered the tuna poke salad and ohhhhh my goodness, it is the perfect balance of flavours and textures.... also ordered an almond milk latte that was chuggable. I will definitely go again! read more

4.5 stars...LOVE this place! Everything I have eaten there (magic mush bowl, coconut chicken bowl, ahi tuna poke salad, poached eggs) has been delicious!!! We even opted to have them cater our Xmas lunch this and all 17 people loved their food. Had the Turmeric Latte which I enjoted greatly as well...even the bits of fresh ginger that I had to spit out! It can be busy which is why the app is great so you can order ahead and pick up. However...the app needs some work still...not everything is on it. Hence the 4.5 stars! read more

More like Wise & Wrong. I understand what they're trying to do but they need to do it better. I ordered the Spanish Chicken Bowl and it was almost offensive. A couple pieces of mushy zucchini and soggy onion just didn't do it for me. Not to mention the flavorless chicken and abundance of brown rice was enough to make anyone feel like they were eating a backpackers meal in Central America. I would have rather eaten at Jugo Juice. Would not recommend. read more

I enjoy the matcha late with almond milk. They have lots of healthy eats. I haven't tried them but a lot of people order them. They also have happy hour from 2:30 pm to 6 pm on weekdays for $2 a coffee (small size only). read more

Healthy, great tasting food. I am in love with their vegan power cookie! I've also tried a few of their bowls and the Thyme Scented Turkey Meatball Bowl gets my vote! Yes, they are a tad pricey (nothing too extravagant) but small details such as using compostable takeout containers and utensils justifies the cost to me. I've been there three times and service is always good - the servers are more than happy to provide assistance! read more

Excellent spot for healthy, and equally important taste. Creative, flavorful dishes all around with influences from all over. A great/better alternative to Freshii. Recommended! read more

I'm not sure if they changed management or not but the service has gone down hill. It wasn't great before but now it's worse. I ordered a toast and asked if the "cashew cheese" was dairy, just to double check on my end, but even the person taking the order had no clue. To make it even worse, the person making the food was asked and she had no clue. There was one person who knew and I'm assuming it was the owner, who was on the laptop. I order my food and I got the mushroom toast. I noticed it didn't have the micro greens on it like it had said in the menu. I go back up to the till and inform her and she corrects me like I ordered the wrong thing and that there are 2 mushroom toasts on the menu and the one I ordered doesn't have it. I look back on the menu and there's actually only 1 mushroom toast in the menu. She realizes she's wrong and she asks the lady preparing the food and she replies back that they're out and in a way where it sounded like I should've known if it wasn't on my food. I have no issues with ingredients running out but that fact that the lady who prepared the food and handed me the food didn't even have the audacity to tell me they ran out and for her to reply back in the way she did when I had asked about it was just annoying. Wasn't worth spending my money on. read more

It's hip and catering to the current food trends etc. But man, it's not cheap. The taste is good, I will admit. However, a drink and a rice bowl (lunch) shouldn't cost $25... a bit much considering it's more like a cafe/restaurant set up. read more

This is still by far my favorite place to eat. Their elixirs are amazing and I feel good about taking care of my body with food. The chef is passionate about creating dishes and takes time to connect with people to make sure their experience is one that will have them returning. read more

One of my go-tos for ordering vegan lunch at the office! Love the food, especially the breakfast bowl, I ordered today (couldn't wait for lunch - I was hungry!) I thought it was awesome that there was no plastic bag when it was delivered, but there was a straw (I didn't order a drink), and full cutlery. A fork would've been great, but the other stuff is kind of a waste and totally unnecessary, especially when we're working on phasing out plastic straws in our city! Just a suggestion, going forward - read more

Fantastic concept. Quality fast service place, delicious healthy and creative options AND to top it all off a serious coffee programme that's brought a completely new-to-Calgary roaster (LA's Portola) to town. This morning I had a "brunch bowl" that had brown rice, yellow beets, a poached egg, and they "yogurt hollandaise." This could've been a disaster in so many ways- the rice could've been mush, the beets over- or under-cooked or over/underseasoned, the egg a too-hard nightmare, the hollandaise a mistake, and the portion tiny. Nope on all counts- it was delicious! Nicely nutty well-cooked brown rice, beautifully cooked beets just on the cusp of crisp and with a judicious amount of salt, a perfect poached egg, and a yogurt based sauce that added just the right note of sour and richness. Minced chives too. Finally the portion was ample, a really good deal at just $8! read more

??? Did I drop by on a bad day? What is with the hype?? Maybe my taste buds just reject super healthy food so I'm not able to appreciate this place like I should? Either way, I hated it. A friend & I stopped in here for lunch on a Friday just before the lunch rush. We ordered the moroccan chicken flatbread with the broccoli kale quinoa salad, a pork loin bowl, and a waffle. The flatbread probably tasted the best, but was a WTF level when it came to cutting it. Honestly it was the worst, either they need to hand out steak knives with the flatbreads or present options for it to be cut up into bite sized pieces. The flatbread comes with a side of salad in a little bowl which we appreciated until we took a few bites & just bleghed at the level of saltiness. Whoever made the salad that day literally seasoned the kale with so much salt I felt dehydrated after having a few bites. The pork bowl was quite boring and the squash was seasoned with a very sour vinegary taste.... whether or not it was on purpose we will never know. The bowl was mostly untouched... we both were just not feeling the bowl that day. The waffle was also disappointing because how can you fuck up a waffle? It wasn't fluffy, it was quite dense & the whip cream it came with had coconut in it... ehhh was neutral on the coconut. We also purchased a pressed juice, and an iced tea. The iced tea is literally just maybe slight steeped tea with lemon so it tastes like lemon water. I'm usually a huge fan of pressed beet juices but it was just very bitter and though I did finish it, I only finished it because I convinced myself that it's good for me and I paid $7 for it. Bad lunch aside, I did really enjoy the atmosphere of the little shop, and their decor is quite clean, modern, and cute. Little succulents placed here & there with wooden bench tables. Maybe better to just drop by and sip a coffee? read more
