I went to the Dundas and Ossington location today for the first time and I just ordered the falafel sandwich and it was quite underwhelming. To start, the price was over $ 10, the bread was soggy, but what was most unpleasant was the gooey soft falafel which I expected to have a bit of crunch or texture. The bread was stale and cold(even though it was put in the grill, it didn’t toast at all). I wont be going back here, what a disappointment.

Yaaa! So happy I finally tried this place out! First off– The name really makes me laugh especially because of the abundance of medical marijuana places popping up in the city. So no– It’s not once of those. It’s a juice bar and it’s serving up some great noms as well. I got the Falafel sammy and wow it’s so good. I got it to go and I was really hungry so while I was walking I thought to myself I’ll just take one bite and then eat the rest at home. Ya nope– I ate the whole thing while walking and I really hate to eat and walk. So you know I thought it was clearly amazing. Also the staff working that day were super nice too! Eat here if you want to get warm feels after your meal.

This is a great spot. The owner cares a lot, and is chatty and nice when you go in there. My only qualm is the fact that they only do cold press juice(or so I’ve been told every time I go in) so you’re kind of at the whims of what’s in the display. I find the cold press juice is good — but it always tastes like something different each time. Sometimes it’s salty celery, sometimes just flat old cucumber. When you’re paying $ 10 for a juice — you want it to be awesome every time. Hopefully they’ll get their recipes sorted out soon!

We were feeling a little lazy tonight not wanting to make dinner. We could have gone with a typical pizza order but I was craving a smoothie. We stumbled upon Grow Up in our searches. Really happy we found it. I got the kale smoothie with the sweet potato sandwich and my boyfriend got the cacao smoothie & falafel sandwich — so good. Will definitely be going back.

Delicious, clean, and approachable vegan/vegetarian joint at Ossington/Dundas. We ordered the Zucchini noodle salad($ 9) and the Sweet potato sandwich($ 8.50). Both were filling without weighing you down — perfect options for lunch takeout. I loved the Zucchini Noodle Salad. It comprised of shaved curly zucchini strips, spinach, almonds, and some sort of «red-bean balls», served with nut dressing. Refreshing, light and satisfying! The interior is spacious, bright and inviting. The owner is knowledgeable and friendly. The price is comparable to all the other vegetarian places in the ‘hood, but their efficiency in food prep and gorgeous physical space put them above all others. PS. Pre-order or phone-in for your order, and pick up in 15min
