Impact Kitchen — Restaurant in Toronto

Yet, it was the zesty Mexican power bowl ($15.50) that drew me in. Yes, it contained kale (not massaged so my least favourite way of eating the fibrous green), but also roasted sweet potatoes, red peppers, rice, and a nutty tostada crumble. It’s healthy but filling.

Filling indeed as I had to get the rest to go, which once augmented with more salad mix was enough for a second lunch. The bowl also desperately needed more sauce. Despite containing black bean mole, avocado, salsa, cashew sour cream, and a cilantro jalapeno dressing, the kale was still tasteless and dry. Impact Kitchen seriously needs massage and “marinate” the greens beforehand.

The added falafels (additional $5.99) were dense and baked – lacking a crispy crust that makes these snacks delicious. As a falafel they blow but as a savoury snack ball they’re not horrible. Thankfully, our server asked if I wanted hot sauce on the side, that mild chili garlic sauce saved the day. Even then, I could only manage having one falafel at the restaurant and couldn’t get through the others until I had a creamy dipping sauce the following lunch.

Impact Kitchen’s display case of baked goods drew us in and were surprisingly delicious for being gluten free. While I could have done without the sea salt on the chocolate sea salt cookie ($4.50), this was easy enough to dust off. Soft and chewy with a deep cacao taste, the cookie is the closest thing to a “sinful” dessert you’ll find here.

The almond protein brownie ($4.99) tasted “healthy” and the texture a bit crumblier than a traditional brownie… likely on account of the whey protein powder. If you can withstand temptation, save some for the next day, as it became tastier as the flavours intensified.

Their matcha latte ($5.99) was beautifully presented, incorporating a rich green tea flavour and a creamy matcha dusted foam. It was one of the better versions of the drink...

Impact Kitchen’s Summerhill location is an absolute treasure! Nestled in a charming neighborhood, this branch perfectly combines a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with modern, clean design.

The menu is a testament to health and flavor, offering a wide variety of options for every dietary need. During my visit, I had the Avocado Toast and the Green Smoothie – both were outstanding. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The turmeric latte I ordered was the best I’ve ever had, warming and comforting with a perfect blend of spices.

In early September, my wife and I were returning from the hospital with our newborn baby boy. It was getting late in the night. We were tired, happy, and hungry. We had our hands full, so we placed an online order to Impact Kitchen through Uber Eats.

We got a phone call from Impact Kitchen about 10 minutes later, saying the kitchen had run out of the item my wife had ordered, and asked us to make a replacement. Unfortunately, our phone call extended past 9pm, when the kitchen was officially closed through Uber Eats, so we were unable to make a change on the app. The woman from Impact tried making the change on her end, but Uber Eats ended up cancelling the order. She called us back apologizing profusely, even though it wasn't her fault, which was very sweet of her.

A couple of minutes later, we got another phone call — this time, from the assistant manager at Impact Kitchen's Summerhill location. He said he heard about our situation, and offered to drive the meal over to our condo, free of charge. We wouldn't pay for the meal, or the delivery. We accepted his incredibly gracious offer — and when he arrived at our door that night, he turned me down when I tried offering him money for the meal and delivery. This was an incredible act of kindness.

My wife and I have always loved the food at Impact Kitchen, but this customer service truly exceeded all expectations and was, in every sense of the word, exemplary. I know it sounds a bit corny but Impact Kitchen was there in our moment of need. My wife and I will be lifetime patrons of Impact Kitchen because of these two wonderful people and their...
