The wraps are great! That said, I used to love grabbing some doughnuts here but something has changed - they are lacking that rich yeasty flavour and complex texture, and now taste like bread with sugar on top. Really not a fan of this, especially when the prices are on par with other high quality donut shops in the city.

Love this place. Started coming here while Keto for their low carb breakfast option and have been coming back since because the breakfast wraps are so good. See photos for examples. They also have local hot sauces and other items for sale.

I ordered a vegan sandwich that I wanted to love. Unfortunately, the tempeh was not cooked and the ingredients were cold, despite the sandwich being toasted. I couldn’t finish both halves. There are good pantry items for purchase (kombucha, non-alcoholic beverages, and vegan ice cream), but I don’t think I’d reorder the prepared food.

A true gem of a local business I discovered and started supporting during the pandemic with donuts I would buy and deliver to clients to cheer them up on their confined bdays. The rest of their food is always delicious, made freshly by their passionate staff and always guilt-free! Great selection of meals ready for you to heat-up and delicious ice cream selection in their fridge too! It's basically very hard not to love anything they make or sell here. Keep up the good work Y'all!

I have been searching far and wideeeeee for the perfect wrap and i didn’t think it would be that complicated but my gosh it is !! There’s a secret to making a good wrap and this place has it all the way figured out. Literally the most delicious simple chicken avacado wrap i can’t wait to try all of the wraps and sandwiches. The best !!! The donut was just okay but i think it’s because i came at the end of the day. Will give it another try. Service was great !!

Really healthy and tasty lunch options but whether it s from the cooking techniques or the ventilation system, the scent of fried oil tends to cling to your clothes and hair. It s a strictly to-go place for me.

Small café and bakery with breakfast and lunch options and a nice selection of pantry and frozen grocery items including vegetarian and vegan options. Wonderful donuts with vegan options. Recently I had breakfast and lunch here and both were great. We grabbed some frozen enchiladas (a chicken option and a vegan one with seitan) and these were delicious. The staff is friendly and courteous. Altogether a great experience.

Everything normally is 100% but one time, the lady and I grabbed a frozen meal. Cooked it. And as we started eating. She was chewing on this tuff broccoli only to find out it wasnt broccoli but a plastic tube. Stopped eating and returned it. They refunded and took care of us but now its a running joke that I make that gets her mad at me. Lol it did taste good till that point

Stopped by after a place nearby was closed, and am SO glad that we had the chance to stop by. Sat on the dog friendly patio and enjoyed some brunch, coffee, smoothie and donuts! All of it was deliciously homemade with fresh ingredients that made us want to come back again. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Also look forward to trying all their premade food selection over time. We will be back!!

Cute market with both gluten free and organic prepared frozen and pantry foods and lunch foods. Known for their gluten filled and gluten free doughnuts. Fluffy doughnuts with many rotating flavours. I got both a cream doughnut and an Earl Grey gluten free doughnut. Something to check out if youre in the east end. Has coffee but havent had a chance to try it...

Love the vegan breakfast burrito. Coffee is decent. Pastries are pretty good. I had some of the coconut Thai curry one day and it seemed like someone forgot to add the coconut. It was terrible. I dig the breakfast potatoes as a side. Service is not very personable considering I went there everyday for a month and they never once seemed to recognize me. But the vegan burrito kept me going back for sure.

December 23, 2022

I just bought 2 salads wow simply awful so much curry u taste the powder no taste at all and the kale one so sweet I mean it s basically maple syrup 12 $ in the garbage food may look pretty but that s it not going there again I m so upset had to write a reviews cuz for the portion I get and pay to have it thrown out the garbage is simply wasteful and a shame ..

A gem! Churning out deliciousness left, right and centre they ve been an emergency source of Pandan coconut ice cream when no where else had any, insane gluten-free donuts (although I wish they d make some stuffed with coconut cream/vegan custard), and they ve been open for an emergency shop when all other places were closed for holidays. Need to come down to try their breakfast offerings most staff there are friendly and very helpful!

I m really digging the donuts they started to bake. Plus there really isn t anything place nearby that does donuts. The takeout food is good too. The breakfast burrito and sunshine wrap are amazing. My only small issue is the logistics of ordering online versus in store could be modified; maybe separate lines. Or maybe more staff at the counter. During busy moments it can be slow.

Really good frozen meals and the doughnuts are really, really good. Also one of the only places in the city to get what I would consider a real apple fritter.

★★★★★

December 23, 2021

A great little hidden spot that s totally worth checking out! Their doughnuts are super fresh and quite large, but make sure you go early or pre-order because we got the last of the apple fritters at 10:30 am!! The fritter was LOADED with apple chunks and super crispy (so if that s your thing, they re a must), but my favourite was definitely the maple cinnamon oat - the crunch the topping added to the doughnut with the maple glaze that didn t taste artificial was PERFECT.

★★★★

Absolutely loved the donuts! So delicious and a great selection of unique flavours. My favourites were the apricot honey cornflake and the raspberry white chocolate. Will definitely be returning to try other baked goods like the cinnamon bun. The oat milk cappuccino was great too! Ordered a tuna melt and the tempeh wrap for lunch. The tuna melt was good, but the tempeh wrap was not for me. I wouldnt recommend the tempeh wrap, especially warmed up. The flavours went kind of funny. Overall really good! Just avoid getting the warp warmed up.

Generous portions of delicious gluten free and vegan salads. Delicious tempeh. Everything is customizable with awesome add-ons. Fabulous sweets and baked goods. Don t forget to check the ice creams and pops in the frozen section for dessert. When Naturally Yours in the PATH closed, I thought nothing could ever come close to replacing it. Fruitful Market s selection of sweets and salads helps to fill the void, and is conveniently much closer to home.

I wish they had a fixed menu with daily specials instead of no fixed menu and rotating menu items ad hoc.

This organic market located in Leslieville has a lot of great products such as: micro greens, Death in Venice Gelato, great assortment of snacks, juices, and prepared food. The prepared food is often mediocre. The soups are very bland. Their sandwiches are hit or miss. My favourite is the Jerk Chicken Wrap, or the Chick Pea Bah Mi (Vegan). The cold bar is often your best bet. I notice that sometimes that have the salads for a few days. Had one bad experience with one of their female cashiers, but for the most part staff is very friendly. Prices are on the higher side, due to the quality of the ingredients.

This is such a great stop for healthy snacks, meals or groceries.

They recently expanded to include a full sit down area in addition to the ordering counter and grocery display area.

The worst shop in Leslieville. Combination of terrible service and unfriendly staffs.

December 23, 2017

A bunch of weirdos working there. A combination of urban hipster pompousness and aloofness towards customers. A really weird vibe. The bread for their sandwiches is stale and I saw one guy accidentally drop a cookie, pretend to discard it (but placed it on the back counter, whispered to his colleague about it while handling it with his bare hands). I couldnt help but think that they were going to put that cookie back on the tray when no one was looking. Plus this place is damn expensive.

I went to get a sandwhich for lunch. Its a small store in a neighborhood that values community but still there was no hello from an employee (looked like a manager) standing near the door as I walked in. I ordered a sandwhich and had an awkwardly quiet exchange with the girl behind the deli. The sandwhich was good, but I cant get over the weird vibe in there.
