I would give it a 4.5 if I could. I had THE BEST chocolate chip cookie that I've possibly ever had here. I'm fairly picky. But the girl at the cash suggested it when I asked, telling me they'd baked them not too long ago and they were still soft. OMG, so good! She was a very helpful staff member. I also had a nice vanilla-almond rooibos tea with it. Very good. Pricey, but I guess it's all pricey everywhere. I would like to go back to try more of their food as it looked really good and healthy for people with different diet restrictions and preferences. They had a nice jazz band playing which I loved.

Their scone is so good, great texture and you can tell it’s made fresh. Their cookie is also so flavorful and fresh. I would definitely just say expect freshness when dining here. Only negative is that they won’t heat up their pastries.

I've just had their weekend salad special. Greens with pecan nuts, slices of asparagus and blue berries with 2 scrambled eggs, grilled flank steak and sourdough bread. This was the best salad I've ever had! Note that the sourdough can be substituted with baked sweet potatoes or just simply ask for more salad. Also, the eggs can be any style... Kudos to their chef - the steak was perfect! A deal for $27 including tips and a cup of tea!

Amazing food. Delicious fresh lunch. The way the menu works is very clever - easy to understand, but by varying the proteins and the sides there are seemingly infinite options. The salad was fresh and tasty. The ginger tofu was delicious. Staff were efficient and friendly. Tea was best we had in Toronto - proper hot water which is important for us Brits. We'll be going out of our way to come back. Easy to get to just a stones throw from St Clair metro station. Decor, like the food, is clean and light. One minor complaint: no filter coffee after 11am. I prefer drip coffee to espresso based coffee and don't see why they need to stop serving it at 11.

Mary Be is a A Delightful Healthy Place. Dish: Salmon with Garam Masala Cauliflower and Mediterranean Salad The salmon was cooked to perfection, with a tender, flaky texture and a subtly seasoned crust that highlighted its natural flavors. Paired with the garam masala cauliflower, which offered a delightful spice and a slight crunch, this dish was a harmonious blend of tastes and textures. The Mediterranean salad, fresh and vibrant, provided a refreshing contrast, making this meal a well-rounded, nutritious delight. Dish: Toast and Avocado A simple yet satisfying choice, the toast and avocado at Mary Be did not disappoint. The avocado was creamy and ripe, perfectly complementing the crisp, warm toast. It was a delightful and wholesome option, ideal for a light meal or snack. Dish: Asparagus Salad One of my friends opted for the asparagus salad, but it fell short of expectations. While the flavors were good, there was a notable scarcity of asparagus, making the dish feel unbalanced. A more generous serving of asparagus would have made this salad much more enjoyable and fulfilling. Overall, Mary Be excels in creating delicious and healthy dishes with quality ingredients. With just a few adjustments, such as ensuring consistent portion sizes, it could easily become a top choice for health-conscious diners.

Wow, far exceeded my expectations… I ordered online and the food took over an hour to arrive but still came hot somehow! that could have been due to my Delivery drivers insulated bag, but anyhow, the food is absolutely amazing. I will be ordering from them again for sure… Everything is so fresh and delicious

Not usually the biggest fan of “health food kitchens” but this place is amazing. The portions are humongous and everything is filled with flavour. I got the chicken with sweet potatoes and cauliflower, but the possibilities are endless with their protein and 2 side method

Mary Be is my favourite healthy option when I do food delivery, all the ingredients are always fresh, the steak is cooked perfectly! I love their grilled avocado, steak and roasted sweet potatoes, they also make an amazing guacamole. The portions are perfect! If you haven’t tried it, I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Food packed full with flavor! So many wonderful options that were both gluten free and vegan. I had the ginger tofu as the protein and had sides of brussels sprouts and bean soup. So satisfying! Looking forward to going back.

Went to MBK for brunch with a friend. No tables available. So we decided to wait. We were told its first come first served. But none of the staff help direct guests or provide numbers to ensure theres order in getting seated. We saw one table with 3 kids working their laptops- all they had at the table was a bottle of water while guests continued to wait for a table. Even diners are better organized! Then were told to go in the line up at the counter where they said if your order arrives before you get a table you should take your food to go! What a dump. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Do not waste your time or your money. Wish there was an option to give zero stars

The food is amazing and the staff are great. I would recommend this place to anyone. I cannot give 5 stars all around because they do not accept cash, card only, which is elitist as hell and they should really change this policy. It s borderline ableist and it limits who they can serve which is a big turn off.

Mary Be Kitchen is one of my go-to spots in the Yonge and St. Clair neighborhood for a healthy lunch or dinner out. Everything is made fresh to order, and their menu changes seasonally, which keeps things exciting. I ve dined here many times, and it s consistently fantastic I ve never been disappointed! I always look forward to their new menu items and specials. Definitely check out their Instagram too the staff has a great sense of humor that really comes through.

Mary Be is a great lil place to meet for brunch. You walk up to counter and pay beforehand then they bring your food to you. They have very healthy options, including vegan! I went at a busy time this Saturday morning so the espresso didnt taste right, but normally they have fairly good coffee and lattes!!

I m not one for writing reviews, but I ve ordered from Mary Be Kitchen several times over the past few months and each time is always better than the last. Whether you re going for brunch (the smashed avo plate is my favourite), for dinner (Mary s Mac, the kale & red cabbage Caesar, and grilled tofu is surprisingly a great combo), or just for a smoothie, coffee, or pastry (specifically the energizer smoothie and cinnamon bun biscuit), it is consistently incredible. The ingredients are fresh, portions are sizeable, and prices are affordable. Tonight I tried the Red Lentil Dahl and was blown away, as per usual. Please do yourself a favour and dine at this restaurant!

Healthy, delicious and hearty! The protein portions are adequate, just enough and delicious - Im a big fan of quality over quantity and this checked that box. The sides were plentiful, tasty and they had great options. They dont have a long list of options but what they do they do very well. Nice no frills spot for breakfast lunch or dinner, they also have a nice space for those who want to work. It can get a bit loud when its busy, but the ambience is nice. Going back for brunch and looking forward to it! Vegetarian options: Veggies, stews, etc Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, non dairy, cholesterol friendly

I have known this place since the 1st day it was opened. Very disappointing, their services are getting worse and worse. Ordered a pick up. The order was all smashed, the package was covered and dirty with food. My order was all smashed over the package and I just had to throw it. Unfortunately, it is not the first time....also, the space itself became very dirty, tables, cups, plates. They DO NOT CARE ANYMORE. But still they charged 20% for my going there and picking it up.

The first time I visited this place, maybe B, the service in general was good. However, lately it has deteriorated. The food quality is good, but the location is inconvenient for driving, and customer service has also declined.

My recent visit was disappointing. Despite ordering a dish with protein, salad, and a side, my protein was missing from the meal. I started eating the salad and believed the protein would come later. When I brought this to the staff s attention, they insinuated that I had already received it and consumed it, which felt disrespectful. After persisting, they reluctantly checked with the kitchen and eventually brought out the missing protein, without justifying or apologizing. For the price paid, I expected a better service and communication, it was very disrespectful the way they handled the situation.

I placed a larger order at Mary Bes for a baby shower. We were 12 people who together included allergies to dairy, gluten, peanuts, chocolate, and certain fruit. Amazingly Mary Be was able to provide an absolutely delicious meal and everyone kept asking me where the food came from. Huge success! At a later time, I came back to try the Enlightened Cookies (Vegan) - they are probably the best chocolate chip cookies Ive ever had (I am not vegan). Excellent customer service and fantastic food - what a great find if you ever need to cater to a group! Dietary restrictions: I ordered a large delivery for a group that together included allergies to dairy, gluten, peanuts, chocolate, and certain fruits - Mary Bes catering manager was able to help me select a great menu which avoided all of these allergens!

STOP with the praise inflation. It takes little effort and know-how to turn noble ingredients into a spectacular meal. Here we had good quality salmon and perfectly executed poached eggs, but they came squeezed in a tiny plate full of greens and two white bread toasts just thrown out there, making it unpleasant to eat while trying not to make a mess. They could have spent 2 seconds laying the salmon on the toast and the egg on top, maybe a minute more to make a hollandaise sauce and I would have called it awesome. For now I ll just stick to lazy and overpriced. If I want to make my own food, I go to the market and stay home (and save money). I encourage you do just this until they decide to be a true restaurant.

Craved avocado toast and ordered on UberEats. Got two servings to share with my sister. Price is pretty steep ($11 plus tax), adding turkey sausage was an extra $5.20 and a poach egg was +$3.20. Overall, I thought it just tasted okay (7/10) Also got the Greensicle smoothie, tasted very heavy on apples for some reason despite it not being an ingredient. Could be the kombucha (7.5/10)

Update on 2/10/23 - deducted 4 stars. I have been ordering from MBK for more than 3 years now. It s sad to see both quality and quantity have gone downhill. A Porridge for $9.20 only a half bowl. The ingredients are less than a spoon full each. It s definitely not worth for the price. The weekender breakfast s salad dressing can only taste vinegar unlike the dressing before. For 2 breakfasts, 2 shake smoothies and a porridge for total of $86 is a rip off.

5. Had a wonderful first experience at Mary Be Kitchen. Went with a group for lunch so had the opportunity to try many things. The sides are flavorful and delicious- very much enjoyed the brussel sprouts and found all the sides quite flavorful. The smoothies are a great consistency and the desserts (sweet potato brownie and vegan cookie) were both so good!!!!!! Need to return to try the lentil dal and the curry! Returned for the lentil Dahl- and it s amazing- comes on long grain rice with currents. The regular salted chocolate chip cookie is really amazing too.

Always amazing and delicious. I have been eating from Mary Be since 2000 and the food is always consistent. I m a vegetarian and have a great variety of options and have never been disappointed. Each dish has a special little twist, a certain ingredient that s unexpected but welcome. The food is fresh, well prepared, and also well packaged for takeout/delivery. As an American, I think Mary Be has the best, most authentic American style biscuits in the city. Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options for breakfast, brun, lunch, and dinner!

Racist and not dog friendly (only to non-white dog owners). My family is regular customer of Marybe Kitchen and we are visible minority. We were walking our puppy in a rainy day and asked whether we could order food and have our well trained small puppy sit with us at patio to wait for rain to stop. The service lady kicked us out from the outdoor open air patio area using the excuse that our dog is not service dog with a vest. Our entire family were throwed into the heavy rain with our poor little puppy. The next day, we saw a white couple sit in the INDOOR area with the same breed of dog you have - without a service dog vest as well. The dog even has his/her front paws on the table. No one was asking anything. We are really mad at how dog un-friendly to dog non-white owners.

I dropped in completely on spec. It a friendly airy space. I had stew described as Red Lentil Dahl. It was delicious. I thought it was a little expensive when you take into consideration the ingredients. Anyway I was satisfied and there was a steady stream of takeaways and delivery going on.

The food was decent, but the experience was terrible and I will never be going back! I love this kind of food and I live in the area, so I was very excited to try this restaurant. When I arrived, the tables were dirty and there were flies. Then, to make matters worse, when we ordered the wait staff was so rude to us and never said a word! I ve never written a review before, but I was shocked as I have never experienced a server so rude towards customers. Save your time and your money.

I love Mary Be Kitchen so much! My partner and I come here all the time and cannot recommend it enough. The place is more take away style but there plenty of tables if you prefer to eat there. Some of our favourite things include the macncheese, harvest salad, mediterranean salad, kale caesar salad, dhal, cookies, and turkey breakfast sausages. We have had almost everything on the menu and LOVE all of it. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are awesome! The team works really hard and you can tell that they love what they do. Serving people is not easy but everyone is so kind and friendly. Whenever we walk into Mary Be, we are immediately treated like family. If you are in the Yonge and St. Claire area you have to go to Mary Be! Vegetarian options: 100% and they are AMAZING! I would say Mary Be primarily appeals to vegetarian people. Dietary restrictions: My partner is celiac and I am dairy free. There are plenty of options to choose from and everything is properly labeled. The staff are always willing to answer any questions you may have. Kid-friendliness: I dont have kids but I see kids there all the time.

I found this place by frequenting a neighboring business. Decided one day to place an order to go and came back when finished my initial errand and took it home. Food was fantastic to say the least! Ever since My daughters and I have pretty much tried everything on the menu and everything has been great. I went today for the first time in a little while and grabbed a Weekend Breakfast Meal. Cooked perfectly, followed all my notes and they must of recently changed the salad dressing cus it s so good. I also love that they care about the environment. Even before it was a thing they had environmentally friendly packaging and biodegradable cutlery. All around a dope spot. Check it out. Thanks guys

Big place with lots of tables inside and some outside. It works as a self serve basis. You place your order at the counter, take an order number and they bring you what they prepare. They have a variety of healthy types of food, smoothies and cookies. Me and my friend had smoothies that we enjoyed a lot as well as a chocolate sesame cookie which was delicious. Will definitely come back.

Ritual. Ricotta. Toast. I ascended to the pearly gates from the first bite. The ricotta? The soft challah? That blueberry jam business smattered over top?? I m currently on the phone with my dealership, refinancing my car loan so I can invest in eating Ritual Ricotta Toast for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My family hasnt heard from me in days. I m busy hoarding unsightly amounts of Ritual Ricotta Toast into my fridge and installing militarized locks on the door so no one else can get to my stash. Have you ever had your toes curl while shoving an open-faced-lemon zested bliss vehicle straight into your tummy? I have.

Food was ok. I had the Dahl and the flavor was lacking but it s not like it tasted bad. With a bit more salt and spice it would have been great. The service was not good which made me regret tipping. The person who brought us food to the table didn t offer us water, and when I asked her for some she just seemed upset that I was bothering. If your staff are to busy to serve water then make it possible for me to pick some up on my own. Also the bathroom wasn t that clean and it smelt off. Lastly, it s hot hot hot here. They have the worst air conditioner.

I ve been quite obsessed with this place lately, getting it delivered at least once a week or two. I usually get the Be Square, but at this point I tried a good chunk of the lunch menu. I can t stress this enough, I think this is the best healthy (and truly delicious) lunch place downtown. Their salmon is amazing, chicken is also great and comes with a nice green sauce. But I d skip the steak if you re getting delivery as it gets a little overcooked in that time (I can tell it was prepared well though). My favorite sides have definitely been the soup, kale caesar and the mac, but all others are good as well, with only broccoli being a little disappointing (pieces too big, none/too little seasoning and wasn t grilled enough imo, it almost looked steamed). The desserts are all great, but I was especially surprised by the brownie. It blew my mind when I read it had sweet potato in it - I had no idea this was a thing, and you truly can t tell. Anyway, I obviously can t recommend this place enough. If I lived closer to it, I d probably go there like every day.

Im very disappointed that Mary Be does not accept cash. Just moved into the area and was hoping to make it my go-to spot but I guess not. I wont spend my money on businesses that refuse to accept legal tender. It strikes me as highly elitist and a concerning trend that has been emerging. And heres the thing, Im not the only person refusing to go to places that dont accept cash. But how would you know? You wouldnt... because were not there, which is why Im choosing to write this review so that you know there are would-be customers that are just waiting for you to accept our money. I kindly urge you to consider bringing cash back.

I could only rate the food as Ive only order from here once. I was really pleased with the quality of the food. Theres so many places I cant order from because of the lack of healthy options and persistent stomach issue I have. Often healthy option arent that healthy. However Mary Be Kitchen provided some great food. Quality, prepare well and very tasty. Was like a really well cooked homemade meal. Im looking forward to trying it in house.

Ive never been there to dine in-person, only ordered Doordash thrice this winter, and I must say - the food is fantastic, healthy and with generous portions! Really recommend the sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, grilled avacoda and all the greens and soup options! I still have to try quite a few from the menu and maybe Ill dine in one day. Keep up the good work with the taste, quality and quantity Team!

Ordered the seasonal stew (green curry chicken) via Uber eats and received their short rib chili instead. Very disappointed in the lack of care when putting together the order. Would have expected some communication if the item was out of stock (not sure if that was the case). Have had the chili before and it s not worth $22. Loaded with chickpeas and has little flavour. Was really looking forward to trying this famous green stew topped with cabbage.

I order from here frequently on ubereats and the quality/flavour of the food is always amazing! I ve never been disappointed. The avocado toast, the dahl, or their seasonal salads are a must, along their matcha latte. I ordered their curry chicken stew because I have Covid and even though my taste is mostly gone I could still taste that soup!!! It also made my throat feel so much better. I wish I could just only eat food from here while I recover. It is so nourishing.

I m not breakfast people but just close to the place. Normally didn t eat until noon. So I went for breakfast but not really hungry or want any food that time. Looked at menu and lot of interesting, end up order ABC Toast (sourdough toast, almond butter, banana, coconut toast, maple syrup, sea salt for $7.93 And ordered Northern Comfort ( warm apple cider) $5.76 I pretty much like the ABC toast, bread is crunchy and delicious. Northern comfort is the one I really enjoy for cold morning winter weather. I might go back to try other menu when I am super hungry or lunch time. I like at atmosphere of the restaurant. Nice and clean, easy going style restaurant. Service is good for me, just order and pay at the counter, got your order number at the table and they will bring it to you. I like this kind of service, no need for the server to come to the table and bother you during the meal
