About Fresh & Fast Food Mart

Fresh & Fast Food Mart is a retail food establishment located in the Downtown area on Richmond St, serving the local community. The business describes itself as a healthier and more wholesome alternative to traditional fast food, with a mission to provide delicious meals that customers can feel good about eating. The establishment offers a variety of prepared foods, including custom salads, warm quinoa bowls, and custom sandwiches and wraps. Customers can build their own salads by choosing a base such as romaine, spring mix, baby spinach, iceberg, or a house blend, and selecting from various non-charge toppings like beets, chickpeas, and roasted corn, as well as premium options like avocado, portobello mushrooms, and grilled chicken breast. Their menu features specific signature bowls like the Harvest, Southwest, Superfood, and Crunch, along with classic salads such as the Cobb, Chicken Caesar, Asian Chicken, Nicoise, Feta, and Paleo. For sandwiches and wraps, they provide artisanal breads like ciabatta rolls and rosemary focaccia, alongside homemade spreads such as avocado salsa, roasted garlic aioli, and sun-dried tomato. The company began in 2005 with its first location in downtown Toronto. They emphasize a commitment to making most items from scratch and highlight partnerships with local farmers and purveyors, including ACE bakery® for artisanal bread, Schefflers Delicatessen for charcuterie and cheeses, and various farms for produce like kale, mushrooms, and apples. The business also identifies as an environmental leader, utilizing 100% biodegradable or recyclable packaging, biobased cleaners, and energy-efficient light bulbs. They also make a monthly donation to the Nature Conservancy of Canada and strive to source organic and local supplies to minimize their carbon footprint.
