Tried to order lunch, owners harassed me about an old review about how I didn’t like the price increases. Absolutely will not be back.

October 19, 2024

My experience at this Freshii location was quite disappointing, mainly due to the poor management. One of the managers was raising their voice at the staff, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. It was clear the employees were under a lot of stress, and it showed in the service. The whole place felt disorganized, and the lack of professionalism from the management really impacted the overall experience. I came in expecting a relaxed, healthy meal, but instead left feeling uncomfortable. I wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone looking for a pleasant dining environment.

I had an unforgettable meal at Freschi, thanks to both the fantastic food and the outstanding service. My server, a friendly guy with a ginger beard and a fat ass, was incredibly attentive and made the experience even better. His recommendations were spot-on, and the whole night was a hit. Definitely worth a visit!

Not fresh at all… save yourself the trouble and choose another freshii location because this franchise is a mess. The strawberries were rotten on chia pudding and after spending $40 on two drinks two immunity shots and a pudding the manager asked to speak to me on the phone to dispute my ask for a refund and a new smoothie. We talked on the phone for way longer than we should have where she told me the strawberries can’t be rotten… when I told her I won’t be returning she said if that’s the case she can’t do anything for me which is crazy…. she did refund my pudding and had them make me a new drink after fighting me about it… normally if you serve someone rotten food you should own up to your mistake and be apologetic not fight for a $7 refund and a new smoothie.

I haven't been to Freshii for a while, but I will be back! Cobb Salad and Roasted Pepper/Tomato Soup! Fantastic! The staff here are great! Very helpful and polite. The sitting area is not fancy by any stretch, but most people take food to go. It was clean! Will be back. A little steep on the price ( maybe I am just old..), but $50 for two salads, two soups and a drink! But once again, that may be just me. It was very good, so no real complaints here..

This place has such a diverse selection and so healthy! The salads are so balanced with flavours, im a picky eater but I wouldn’t change a thing about them! The owner was so sweet and gave us testers of his flavours without us asking for them, smoothie was light and flavourful too! Will be coming back!

had I not eaten here at least I would have accomplished 24hr fast feat.. total rip off.. just walk few steps, for 15 dollars you get a super nice salad at Costco; frankly I started realizing this as I start typing this review..

Server had me repeating myself when placing my order. Then after handling the register, taking money etc. she proceeded to make my food without washing her hands. In an industry where health and safety is top priority I was disappointed. I ve been to other freshii locations and never had to tell someone to wash their hands before making my food. Very unsanitary and I feel management should review sanitary protocols with their employees.

In this pregnancy all I been eating is freshii and I been to multiple different location and this was far worst experience I had .. Service was not polite but top of that I got a choclate peanut smoothie (which didnt taste like how usually everyone makes for me ) and Buddha bowl was just not nice at all.. This was a good location I used to go during summer and so disappointing the service went bad ( staff members werent friendly at all today )

Been going here to purchase food which I enjoy (regular customer). Needs improvement with the customer service...I was in the area twice and chose to use the restroom only to be argued with by the lady to the front with the accent (Middle Eastern look/short) stating it was out of order which it wasnt knowing I wanted to go urgently. This is unacceptable especially for a regular customer! Good business ethics is NOT just about receiving peoples money but GOOD customer service.

Watch out for the Pangea bowl. This location makes the top Look very presentable but don t be fooled like me! Unbeknownst to me - small assortment of toppings with 2.5 cups of rice!!? I take the L here. I will give this location one more chance. Next time, I will ask for LESS rice/more topping & open the bowl before leaving to avoid any disappointment. :)

Visit of Freshii today Pros - VERY clean and bright inside - large windows with plenty of light - lots of space in the common area and bathroom for wheelchairs (with accessible buttons) - workers are very respectful - food is delicious and healthy Cons - need better labeling for fridge items - small serving sizes - need cushions for the chairs - need table option to sit down and can wait for food Will visit instead of Panera Bread Vegetarian options: Many

I come here all the time and today I wasn t happy with what I got. I understand they have to increase their prices but I certainly did not get what I paid for. I asked for a Bamboo bowl, add beets and my choice of protein was chicken. But when I got home, I looked at my bowl and didn t get any beets, 3 pieces of broccoli and 3 pieces of chicken. I tried calling the store a few times and no answer. I m very disappointed. I don t think I ll ever go back.

Food is really delicious with alot of great, healthy options and alternatives for a vegan diet. The owners were absolutely wonderful when I went in my first time. I wasnt familiar with the menu and all of the customizations you could do. They were so helpful and have my son and I samples of their amazing smoothies. We cant stop ordering freshii now that weve tried it!

My sister in law brought me in to this location this past weekend.The store itself was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. I found the menu had many options for me ( vegetarian/sugar free). There was a man helping us that day and he was so fantastic! I wished I grabbed his name. Fantastic customer service and took the time to show us the menu and all its options. We even got a couple samples to help narrow down the choices! Will most definitely be going back!

I am so disappointed in about the my experience. I made an order through Uber Eats on Thursday evening 6 pm, my intention was to schedule a delivery for the following day. This order was for a meeting on Friday 12 pm. Immediately I realized my mistake and frantically started to reach out to Uber eats, their live chat recommended I reach out to the merchant and I tried over and over their phone it was not getting through I finally did and I spoke to an individual who said hes the manager called Tony. I explained my predicament and he was very rude, he told me that is not his problem its my problem and I should figure out what to do with this food...(16 orders costing $284). I definitely understand this would have not been a good business deal but all I wanted was for him to meet me half way ....I am sure he has experienced this before. His tone and language was very wanting and honestly wondered how he is a business person. I have been ordering our meetings meals from Freshii but that has come to an end. To close this review the Uber driver who was going to deliver the food was awesome her name is Yvonne, we spoke and she called Uber Eats on my behalf and I got a total refund for the order.

Buddha s bowl with Falafel including tax $14.67. Good size a little expensive, not enough spicy peanut sauce. It looked like they put a couple of teaspoons of sauce. I was digging through the whole bowl looking sauce. It was just dry. I had to add my own peanut sauce. So over priced something I had to change at home to make it taste better. Friendly people, I may try it again but hesitant.

December 22, 2022

Ordered a bowl, go here pretty often. They tend to make mistakes and just pull things out. Servings are skimpy. What really got me mad though is my partner goes there and specifically asks if the cabbage is a mix with carrots or is it just carrots. They say just cabbage, so we select it in a custom bowl. I can t have carrots because I m allergic and he gets home to them having put carrots in my mix, one giant chunk of cabbage, which is gross, and they missed another one of my toppings now I can t eat it and I d have to go back in person to get it fixed. What a waste of my time. Not even going back. Terrible attention to detail on a place that literally has it written out in front of them. Also wouldn t pick up their phone and didn t ask for half sauce but definitely didn t put nearly as much as prior times. Not impressed. Would not recommend Dietary restrictions: Does not abide by requested restrictions

Check your order... they will put rotten and spoiled items in your order. Order today using skip the dish app and receive rotten spoiled avocados. Avocados was so brown and soft. Should have been put in the garbage but instead they put in my salad. I order Sunday April 11 at 12:30.. using the skip the dish app...I would go back to the restuarant but unable to do so at the moment. Shame on you whoever made my salad. Youre disgusting

I wish I could give this location a zero star, but unfortunately Google will not allow this. I ordered a kids Kung Fu Bowl, and this was the chicken I was served. This chicken was certainly alive an hour ago. Cluck Cluck. Im extremely alarmed at the salmonella that is definitely populating in my body. Please see picture below. To the owner of this franchise, please do not continue to serve raw chicken to your patrons as no one likes to be sick on a nice summer day. Not recommended. Not dine safe. please FIX YOUR FACILITY. #kitchennightmare #gordonramsaywhereareyouat #ew #rarechicken

I have just had one of my worst service experiences at this restaurant. I have been ordering for our family most Fridays with no issues, probably about twenty times. Tonight I ordered two Oaxaca bowls for me and my wife and a burrito for my daughter. When I exited my car with the order, the paper bag holding the order broke, strewing the bowls onto my driveway. It looked like there was some spillage while the meals were packed as the bottom of the bag was soaking wet. Now, at this point I am not upset, these things happen, and any restaurant that adheres to a customer focused service model will replace your meal. I called the restaurant and explained the situation to which he responded Im not sure what we can do for you. I asked for replacements, the response being that he was not authorized to do so and would call the manager. I was refused the replacements. After a little back and forth, it became apparent that if I returned with the dropped meals, I could have a replacement. Now to be fair, I probably should have mentioned that I could bring the dropped meals which I had scraped off my driveway, and to be fair, this should have been offered to me in the first place. So far here is what is wrong with their response: *refusing to replace the meals implies that I am dishonest and attempting to get a free meal *lack of communication: they should have stated to bring back the dropped meals for replacements *staff are not empowered to make decisions for their customers When I arrived to pick up the meals, I really wanted to explain that I was not upset that the bag ripped open, but at the response to the situation . Here are some of the things that were said to me: This is not something that is on us, we are not obligated to do anything for you No other restaurant would replace your meal for you We are doing you a favour, we dont have to do anything There was much more. I asked for the name of the manager. You can come back tomorrow any time and speak with him He refused to give me his name. I asked then for him to just finish making the bowls. All the while he kept talking at length repeating that that they had done nothing wrong, they didnt have to replace the meals, they were doing me a favour. When I left, he sarcastically said make sure you dont drop it. If you wrote a manual for how not to treat customers, this employee would be in it. I will never be back

Love freshii and that we now have one in Oshawa. The bowls and smoothies are the best! Edit: I cant believe I posted such a positive review just 10 months ago. Ordered from here yesterday and all four orders were a complete disaster. They had little to no ingredients and ended up being almost nothing like their description. What a joke. I fed my 4 year old plain quinoa with a few chickpeas and a few pieces of rubbery chicken - in what was supposed to be a kale cesar salad.

Good food. Friendly service. They just have a real hard time having your food ready when its suppose to be if you order using the app. 3 of 4 times I have used the app I have had to wait while its made. You cant cancel in store either once its ordered on the app. Very frustrating.
