Nook

Picked up the chicken avocado with a side of mango and pasta salad for lunch. You get a healthy meal for a decent price. Everything tasted fresh and the workers were really nice, and patient with me while I was deciding. There were a lot of good different options. My friend got the Tuscan turkey club, and I think I’d probably get that one next.

Affordable and delicious! Everything I expected from a panini. Plus, the staff were super friendly. Definitely will be coming back to try the other sandwiches!

Nook is our go-to for event catering! From start to finish, what really stood out was the care and attention to detail. We ordered a mix of their most popular sandwiches—Guacamole Chicken, Pesto Chicken, Cancun Chicken, Chipotle Turkey Club, Tuscan Turkey Club, Maple Walnut Chicken, and Grilled Veggie—paired with the Kale with Quinoa and Garden Pasta salads, and everything was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully done. If you’re looking to avoid predictable pizza and want something that is healthy, satisfying, and crowd-pleasing, this is it. People are still raving about the paninis! Huge thanks to Janyce and the team👏

I ordered my lunch via Ritual and the pick up process was smooth and efficient. I walked in and saw a shelf full of Ritual orders and just grabbed mines. The salad (Chunky Greek and Garden) tasted great as it was freshly prepared. The cream of broccoli with cauliflower was amazing, I honestly thought it was going to taste like canned soup but it wasn’t overloaded with sodium and it tasted healthy. Will definitely be back for more lunch dates! I love this place!

The service was really fast and good. I had the pesto chicken panini + mango salad, while my friend had the spicy chicken panini + soup. I really enjoyed my lunch and highly recommend both! My only critique is that if you decide to sit outdoors, the bees may bother you as they are attracted to the flowers.

Delicious food, great service and value for price. Highly recommended.

4/5 overall recommended. It's ok. If you have ever been to La Prep, it had a super similar vibe to it and some of the food items tasted identical! It's a safe and fresh choice. Cozy-like home-made vibez. I just made an order through Uber Eats. Recommended Salads: Glass Noodle, Chunky Greek, Kale with Quinoa and Edmame Tuna melt sandwich: 3/5 it had tuna + cheese + tomato. The tomato did not go well with the tuna. It was lacking something. Maybe if they add a sauce or herbs and remove the tomato (?) it lacked something crunchy/fresh/acidic Guac Chicken Panini: 3.5-4/5 it had avocado, chicken, tomato (and cheese perhaps?) the bread was toasted to perfection and it was a safe and solid choice I would recommend over the tuna sandwich *for the record, I liked the salads much better than the food and I would give a 5/5 to 3 out of 4 of the salads I tried here. Hence, an overall 4/5.

Hidden gem for a healthy and delicious option in the Fashion District near King and Spadina! It's the best bang for your buck around the area without going too far back up Chinatown. Almost missed it several times walking by as it's located at a basement unit in a corner of a building. The menu is clear and simple for the panini, soups, smoothies, and combo deals. The food is absolutely delicious! My favourite is their bulgogi panini with just the right balance between their Korean marinated beef, pickled carrots, jalapeno havarti and house burger sauce. Their soup of the day are usually pretty good, butternut squash is a reliable pick if it comes up! They also have a great panini combo as well with a side of two salads or today's soup with lots to eat. Never feel overly stuffed or overwhelmed by their affordable, fresh and light food for lunch. They're very attentive and considerate as all parts of the order taking, payment and food assembly are carefully reflected in their packaging with cutlery as well. Definitely one of the healthier alternatives in the area! The service is amazing being a family-run shop. The owner/family is always very helpful and the service quality is pretty high! Apparently pre-pandemic, this place always had line ups. Order ahead via some of their app alternatives like Ritual to order, grab and go without waiting too long.
