Crave Healthy Habits

I ordered the Banh Mi for lunch and I give it a five star. First of all, I love Vietnamese food and Crave Banh Mi did not disappoint. The spice level was just right and it gives a kick to the taste. The avocado and other vegetables added a perfect mix to the meat; and I enjoyed a bit of it. The location was very convenient as well since it is located in the path of the financial district. Never have to put a coat on in the winter time to get some awesome healthy food!

Crave is part of the new wave of ultra-healthy restaurants in the core area. But who is this restaurant really for? Are you good with paying ~$13 for a 500 calorie meal when you can pay $5 for a 1300 calorie fast food meal? Do you just have to eat meals made with the freshest ingredients? If yes, and you might be making a 6-digit salary, then Crave is for you. I liked every ingredient in the cold boxes I get, I just wish the portions were larger. 4/5 on the food but 3/5 on value.

Crave Healthy Habits @ 130 Adelaide Street West is a great lunch spot in the PATH system. It's right by Metro Hall and is easily accessible from the above ground and various PATH entrances. Similar to the other Crave Healthy Habits, this location sells both hot and cold meals. I had the enso which had salmon sashimi, baby spinach, brown rice, avocado, ginger sauteed mushroom, cucumber, nori seaweed, cilantro and sesame seed with a ginger soy dressing. The meals are made to order right in front of you and the staff were extremely helpful and courteous. They also are on ritual, so if you're in a rush you can order ahead and have your meals lined up and ready for pickup upon arrival. A great choice for a healthy meal!

Easily accessible from the street as well as the path, this is located in a good place. I ordered the Il Padrino box, which is an Italian dish consisting of zucchini pasta and vegetables. There is good quantity and delicious. They're on ritual app, so didn't have to wait in line.

I ordered the Bahn Mi Box and honestly it did not live up to my expectation. The mix of pickled radish and carrot strips were good but seemed to clash with kimchi, coriander and Siracha sauce. And the ratio of chicken to salad was so little. Just didn’t hit the spot

Oooh I just love this location they carry greenhouse drinks. I ordered the ENSO to satisfy my craving for Japanese flavours. The miso sauce is so addicting! Fast and quick. I used ritual for pick up and it makes lunch runs so much easier.

Crave seems to be a really popular go-to place for fresh greens-focused dishes and they have regular promotions too. I tried this "BANH MI Box" via special Ritual-exclusive pricing and it was adequate except for the strength of the vinegar which gave it a little bit too much spice - something I wish would be more personalizable.

A colleague of mine ordered a salad from this location and found a screw in the bottom. When they approached the manager to explain their concern, the manager said, “We don’t have screws like that here,” and said there was nothing he could do for her. Totally unprofessional.

Tried the Banh Mi Box and it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back to try other meals. I do wish they had an allergen menu available so it was easier to see what I was able to order. When I called though, they were able to answer any questions regarding dietary preferences.

I tried this place because they had a ritual deal and have been trying healthier options. I got the Banh Mi cool lunch box with extra chicken. The sauces were quite tasty but the chicken was really dry and the avocado was quite brown - which was disappointing because I could see myself trying some of the other lunches as well, but not if the protein and avocado are weak.
