Fresh and tasty food at affordable prices
Great food and service, price is too high.
My favourite place to grab a lunch while working downtown? The food is great, well priced and always hot and fresh. The service is also awesome! Definitely recommend
Wow wow! Fantastic friendly staff providing healthy affordable meals. Olly Fresco’s need more locations. For quick lunch places it ranks tops in my books. The chicken & beef kabobs 👌 so good and tasty. They provide great service and lots of choices for a great meal. Amin was so nice and provided great recommendations. I’ll be back many times. Many thx Amin grill 👨🍳
If you're looking for a nice, inexpensive sandwich downtown, this is the place for you. You can get custom sandwiches and wraps, with an inch thick of fresh meat and cheese, for less than $9. Their buffet bar was good too before the pandemic, hopefully, it makes a full comeback in the future.
I have breakfasts and lunch here. The place is very popular with office folks around here. The soups are delicious and reasonably priced than the other specialty soup shops around. There are always at least two vegan soup options and a one or two vegetarian options and several meat versions every day. A small bun is included. The hot sauces provided are amazing and a little goes a long way. Did I mention even without the hot sauces the soups are perfectly spiced and flavoured. You get the feeling that these soups are healthy and fresh home made. The mornings they serve oatmeal which is again reasonably priced and they offer quite a few toppings included in the price. The oatmeal is perfect. Their vegan falafel pita sandwich is amazing as well. If I am not carrying lunch, this the place for me.
I absolutely love the food here, it’s to die for. The staff there are friendly and so sweet. They provide so many options and amazing tasting food at an affordable price. They are my go to when I’m downtown Toronto.
Good price. Tea is $1.25 any size and love their oatmeal $3.29 for unlimited toppings . Lunch time get super busy though.
Huge variety of options available. Their hot and cold salad and curry bar also has multiple options. I tried veg samosa, Brussel sprouts and California sautéed veggies. Vegetarian options: They are some vegetarian options too but the dishes are not labeled explicitly Dietary restrictions: Only name of dishes available , you have to figure out yourself regarding your dietary needs.
Not at all worth it for vegetarians and it is overpriced as well. I took it and it was a 20$ vegetarian meal. In the market, there are so many better options available. Food : 1/5
Incredibly nice staff, came in at the end of the day as they were closing, they unlocked the doors and invited us in. Very kind and helpful,
Tried a couple of hot sandwiches like chicken melt, chicken quesadilla and Philly steak sandwich. Freshly made and tasted good. The staffs are friendly as well. Going back to try other food. Took one star off because they drastically increased the price within the last few months but still affordable and could provide more options. Overall it s a good grab and go place.
The food is super fresh, people are nice and the place is always clean. I love the Tuna Melt sandwich. For a tuna-lover like me, it s one of the best sandwiches I ve ever had! Recommend 100% Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to move in the space.
I was on my way to Tim Hortons when I was hit with the aroma. It was the best decision I ever made! I enjoyed the breakfast! Def going to come back again!
Great spot for fresh or prepackaged grab and go, breakfast lunch or dinner. Their omelettes are great! Staff and prices are both friendly.
Everytime Ive gone to Olly Frescos Ive had a positive experience, the staff and food is great! I want to make a specific mention (I forgot to ask his name) of the gentleman working the sandwich station May 11th 2023 at 10:00 AM. He was incredibly friendly, warm, attentive with lots of recommendations. He made me a delicious egg and cheese sandiwch and ill definitely be back to see him again!
Great breakfast and reasonably priced
The service at this place is the worst I have experienced in years. Never go to the Royal Bank Plaza location , they are worst and they never open on time.
It was great food as usual but I felt vegetarian options were less. Fresh and tasty food otherwise. Vegetarian options: Lesser vegetarian options
Not tested but looks good.
Always good options at the hot buffet for anyone. The Mac and Cheese and the Quesadillas are a must try. Very busy during lunch.
Amazing place for pocket friendly sandwiches and Mexican food... Their buffet is very expensive and not outstanding so can be skipped Vegetarian options: Veg quesadilla and tacos
The food options here a pretty great. There is lots of variety in the breakfast and lunch buffets. The service is pretty good and fast. They also make chain orders are also act as a market for any snacks or cold lunches with water and everything. Their bakery section is baked fresh everyday and after 2 is buy one get one free. Overall I eat here all the time it is great for lunch and breakfast.
The coffee is awesome and the morning pastry is so fresh and tasty all including muffins, crossaints, cakes, etc
Serving fresh breakfast and lunch with many options
Pasta is very bland. Turkey sandwich had one very thin slice of turkey on each side mostly salad and tomato and the sandwiches are not made daily, but where in the past. Might as well been a veggie sandwich. The same food on the same days no variety/creativity. Was so good at first now just bland and boring.
Every time the tall skinny kid serves me my day is completely ruined. His customer service skills are subpar and he shouldn t be allow to help in the front. He s accused me of taking more than one tea bag when visibly I ve only taken one. He s offered to flip my food over because the container was upside down according to him - why would you do this? Every interaction I ve had with him is unpleasant! And I purposely try to avoid him for many reasons, but today I didn t have the option.
It saids open by 6:30... yes there was staff working inside but I was there till 7am and finally doors opened. What time are you open for business... wasted my times going to that place. Even tho I was disapointed with the time they open... the really made it worth the wait with the food... I strongly suggest the Buffet by weight...
The kitchens at this restaurant are highly unhygenic. I have seen several cockroaches in the store area! I have also seen rotten food being served. I would not recommend visiting here. The workers are nice though!
Its my favorite place for taking away lunch.
My chili has no chili flavour at all. The remnant of a bun I received was so hard and dry it crumbled into pieces. It must be a week old.
Best lunch place for lunch break! The buffet is always amazing and the sandwiches are super tasty.
you can get a large egyptian lentil soup here for 4$. and they have several vegan options for to-go meals and snacks. love the hot sauce made in house!
Excellent buffet-style breakfast & lunch place at reasonable prices, when working in downtown Toronto. Great selection for vegans!
Have shwarma here on a regular basis. Be warned the self serve section adds up fast as you pay by weigh.
I used to love this place. Quality (and quantity) of the food is way down and prices are up. I will pass on getting my dinner there on the way home from work.
This place used to be much better. Today, you still find multiple hot meal options(changes daily) and a huge salad bar. The good side is the staff, always friendly and smiling. However, it seems they use a lot of sodium to preserve the food, this includes the salad(I notice it on my weight whenever I have to eat there more than once every week). Also, the food quality is getting lower and lower. I really hope they get a wake-up call and not rely on the fact they are one of the few buffets in downtown. I know a lot of regulars who stopped to eat there.
Great prices and food selection
This place is a path staple, high quality, reasonable prices, what more can I say
Great value. Great food options
I got one of their sandwich was quite good amd decent price too.
Pretty decent place to eat at. Theres a lineup for lunch and they usually have a 50% deal on after 15:00hrs until closing. The coldxut sandwiches are really good but not really a fan of the shawarma counter. They also have a good selection of coffee and desserts. Lunch is served buffet style allowing you to choose wisely.
Get the small Falafel. Regular too big.
First off, I think its important to say that I have not tried their hot sandwiches or their salad bar. I come here strictly for coffee and a treat. They have a great variety fresh coffee and have soy and almond milk available in addition to milk and cream, this is huge bonus for me since I cant have large amounts of dairy. They have delicious muffins and pre portioned cakes/brownies/squares which ranged between $1-2. They have plenty of pre packaged cold meals asams sandwiches gor wheen im in a rush and always have a bunch of fresh daily soups (they advise itd they are dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, etc. For all soups). A real treat to have this made near work!! Note, it can get busy during breakfast and lunch, so get their early!
For breakfast buffet, they offer fast service along with a lot of options to eat. They also have an omelette bar with many different add-ons. Price wise they are around the same price as other breakfast buffets. Only down side is they dont have smaller takeout boxes.
More chicken tenders!!!
Good food
It has a lot of products thing that you normally dont see in Mexico city, very nice place to visit not a lot of people in there due to fact that maybe Canada has a different taste but as a tourist you cN really like the place just change the pricing make it more affordable and this would be full of clients as well as other places
Great breakfast buffet. Price is reasonable
Great food and service.
For a coffee on the go, the best place out there if you know what you want and how to make it to your taste. The best coffee you can get here in C$1.25.
One of the reasonably priced food markets in the financial district.
Had a wonderful selection for food options with reasonable prices.
Food is good but WAYYYYY to pricey.
I already write one same score around the broad keep up the great success and feedback on professional development note will determine your success beyond the profession of excellence & money to always have customers not just the ability of multiple success
Spent more than $30 for 2 half full containers just to find long hair in my food, tons of fat in my shredded beef, and get diarrhea after. Was gross, and will not go back.
The food is usually really good with lots of flavour. Sadly, the last few times I have bought an egg salad wrap there have been huge chunks of egg shells in it, making it very difficult to enjoy and Ive ended up just throwing them away. Ive also found a hair in my food when I bought from the hot table... Another issue is that the staff who prepares the sandwiches/omelets is not very pleasant... I havent bought many breakfast sandwiches from here because each time theyve made a mistake and the lady preparing it throws it on the top shelf without a word - Ive waited 15 minutes once until I realized that my sandwich had been thrown there waiting for me to pick me it up. My point is I probably will only buy bottled water/juice from here.
Decent buffet for breakfast and lunch
This place is popping but they get you what you need fast
Good food with healthy options close to Union Station.
Fast and efficient. Good place to get a quick lunch. Ive had a lot of shawarma across the city but theirs might be the best in all of Toronto - go to the shawarma counter to get shawarma or falafel instead of getting one of the pre-made ones.
Accidentally turned the sunny-side egg over and realized the whole bottom has this disgusting black guck, its not even charcoal, i don t know what this is, i tried to scrape it off but it was futile. Makes me question the rest of the food
Great food and prices!
Best lunch value in financial district, bar none!
You MUST try their lamb and beef kebab wrap
I picked up a mealpal meal from here and the meal was ready and hot for pickup. This has been the largest portion I have seen with mealpal till now and food tasted great. Would definitely recommend if you any on online meal ordering services. Otherwise the place is very busy during lunch hours and there is a big lineup.
Thank you for offering vegan choices. May I just suggest that you review the nutritional value of what s being offered. It s rare that I find a good source of protein: tofu, tempeh, beans, lentils. Most dishes are just carbs. Also, cashew milk would be super appreciated. I find it to be the only plant based milk that is creamy enough for coffee.
Great selection and prices are good
Food is great, but was asked to pay for a 5 cent bag to hold a very hot pasta bowl when I ordered the food using mealpal. The mealpal service is meant to be used to skip lines and save time. Ridiculous that I was asked to pay for a plastic bag when I was handed a for pasta bowl so hot that I couldnt hold it.
Excellent service and reasonably priced
My go to place for lunch. Great food if you want to stay on budget and eat healthy. Staff is great.
Amazing place for coffee and lunch - they serve an amazing buffet!
tasty food, but less qty...
My go to lunch place at work. Lots of options for breakfast/lunch or snack
Diverse food options but a little bit pricey as expected if youre buying food down town
Amazing breakfast spot, havent had lunch here yet, but excellent omelettes, and other breakfast options, with excellent staff and service.
One of the best in the area! Wide range of selections, healthy, reasonably priced, and super friendly staff! This is why I ve been going to this place more than three times per week since last year :)
Great place for a hearty breakfast or lunch.
Food is good and healthy, although $/gram is quite high! Approx $14 p.p filling up there small containers. Drinks are extras. More annoying is the fact that theres no food left after 3pm. I dont understand why they dont replenish and stay open for dinner also!
Avocado costs the same as mashed potatoes. What a time to be alive
Wide variety of food, from hot buffet and salad bar to sandwiches and pre-packaged salads. The food quality and taste is quite good. Its very busy during lunch hours but the cash lines tend to move fast. Definitely recommended.
Chicken Shawarma is amazing. This is one of the hidden jems. Good quality food at reasonable prices.
Great selection - they always have something you want no matter what mood you are in!
The wide array of fresh lunch items and salads are to die for!
Get a massive salad for 8 bucks. Win
Great selection of fresh and healthy dishes. Crowded but moving very fast during lunch hours. Excellent customer service and organization.
Simply the best,,,, better than all the rest,,, better than anyone, anyone else I ever ate at... (for the same monies of.course)
Nice place
I like their hearty soup boys... I mean, their hearty soup selections. They have a huge variety and it also never stays the same. Gots to love those soups!
Awesome food
Nice clean place. Food is awesome.
Absolutely love this place. Normally quick with great options
Great value and awesome selection! Almost 5 years and still #1 downtown! Hope the new location measures up!
Good food good deal
Best value for the money!
Great coffee
Average food place
Awesome breakfast
Nice place to eat, prepared food like sandwiches, wraps, salads, hot food like pasta, soups, hot sandwiches, power bowls, also bufet by weight for lunch and for breakfast too
Got a roast beef sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. Ingredients tasted fresh, plentiful, and well priced. Ordered through ritual to skip the line. Ill be back to try the same and more!
I enjoy going to Olly Fresco s because there s always something for my mood, however this particular one is smaller, and didn t offer as much selection mid-afternoon by the time I stopped there after getting off the train mid-afternoon. The soup I had was not as flavourful and rather watery. Otherwise the food is fresh and worth checking out but perhaps more during peak hours.
If you prefer packing your own salad during lunchtime, this is the place to go. Pretty good options for hot food buffet too. Reasonably priced.
Top notch, I get my breakfast here a few times a week.
I walked in by chance and picked a coupled of salads as they were reasonably priced. I loved both of them. They have a huge variety, Ill definitely revisit to try other items
Delicious, fresh and full of flavour!
Great lunch option within the path.
One of my favourite hot food spots in the PATH because everything is reasonably priced. The food isnt spectacular - but everything is good and I leave happy with my wallet relatively intact. Definitely a welcome change from the majority of overpriced food options in the PATH.
Great lunch offers
Great fresh food choices.
Coffee is great lots of choices. Sandwich grill dont bother. They make errors in your order every single time.
Mobile pickups are a mess. Hard to get any service as theres no separate pickup area.
Good food
A great place for breakfast and lunch, and a wide variety of food - hot food, salads, soups, wraps, sandwiches, etc, etc. Reasonably priced and fresh. The soups are great, and very reasonably priced. My favorite soup is the lamb as well as the beef & barley.
Good food on the go
Huge variety of delicious foods.
Great deal on sandwiches
Good selection and great service
If you are a young professional still reeling from student loans but still not waking up early enough to make breakfasts, this is the place for you. Though this location can be very cumbersome on their peak times, it is still a great, healthy option that offers a hot and cold buffet table, a food preparation station/counter and fridges with prepackaged salads and baked treats. For the buffet, which offers classic breakfast staples in the morning and roasted chicken and dinner options in the evening, they have eco friendly and plastic standard take away boxes and then it is weighed and paid for. They also offer a plethora of coffees and teas that are all self serve and allow you to mix and match as desired. Olly Fresco gives you the freedom of eating well and saving your pocket. Majority of the staff is friendly with the regulars going above and beyond to talk to customers. The minor cons are that they do not allow you to bring your own containers to pack your meals in and I have found prepackaged salads to be severely overdressed. Also when I went for lunch today, I was cashed out by an older gentlemen who was very abrupt and didnt speak to me but spoke to another client while cashing me out. Despite the saltiness, your waistline and bank account will thank me and yourself for picking Olly Fresco.
Cheap good food. Cant go wrong when you forget your lunch haha
I like their take out chicken Caesar. Its healthy and priced very reasonably.
Had a taco salad, and it was gross. Think the chicken was off, so only managed a couple bites before the rest was tossed. So disappointing.
Great healthy lunch option - I usually get a spinach/kale salad with chicken and fresh guacamole. Its delicious and usually comes to much less than other places downtown. They price based on weight. They also have a great selection of teas/coffees for cheaper than timmys.
Friendly staff, great selection of food LOVE IT
My go to for lunch and coffee!
Inside the RBC plaza at the PATH nearby Union station, I was surprised by the quality of their food (real food) and the price. I had lunch from the hot buffet and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. They have a sandwich station which is very popular judging by the long line at peak hours. What I liked the most is that despite the crowd the cash out process was seamless. Will definitely come back...soon :)
Lots of selection, super fresh and tasty. However, located in the concourse and during lunch time it gets very packed, very quickly.
Great food for lunches
Expensive but love the verity. There is something for everything.
They make too much $$$ out of me. #1 place for lunch and tea break.
Its an amazing place for breakfast. The french toast here is delicious. They have health stuff here as well. They also have coffees bagels sandwiches and buffet for lunch.
Nice joint but expensive.. off late the options are similar
Food representative of many national flavors. Lunch has butter chicken, pasta ,chicken wings, salad bar for the healthy eating. Staff is so hardworking and still smiling and friendly and efficient cashiers. Love it love it love it
Always good. Charge by weight, so can range for $12-$16 for lunch.
Great selection of foods and the food is great and fresh!
One of the best and freshest salads I have eaten!
They have a huge variety of food on display...everything is cooked fresh they have a lot of healthy food options. The only drawback is the huge lineup
Great selection of salads. Crowded during lunch hours on weekdays.
Absolutely love this place. David, Roland and the ladies are pretty awesome!!
Olly carries a very good selection of options for lunch. I like the salad bar variety. Price is reasonable.
Healthy food - affordable price! Their soups are honestly the best! My favorite go-to place for lunch.
Im obsessed with their Egyptian lentil soup!!
