nutbar — Restaurant in Toronto

Since nutbar opened its doors, it has become a second home. Founder Kate Taylor Martin, has actualized the ideal space for anyone looking for healthy, approachable, delicious super food snacks. The staff are all incredibly friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The space is inviting, bright and even features a wonderful piece of art using the ingredients of all the items on their menu, created by Artist Harrison Taylor.

Whether you are going for a coffee, smoothie, bar, ball or toast - you know that you will be having something made from scratch with the utmost importance placed on using whole super foods. While recognizing you are eating the best quality ingredients you can, the best part about nutbar is how fantastic everything tastes! I have never liked Matcha before trying their Matcha Latte with their custom nutbar nut milk- it has become my go to. The Savoury Toast, should be called crack toast, because after one bite, you will crave it every day. The Orange Smoothie tastes like you are drinking a sunny day, and the $16 Dollar Smoothie fuels you for hours at a time by giving your body everything you need for a complete meal!

If you haven't been yet- you are missing out- as nutbar has set the standard for quality, thoughtfully prepared grab and go super food snacks- finally someone figured out what Toronto really wanted and...

Was welcomed by friendly staff on a cold winter day, and helped with suggestions for treats and accommodated without any trouble when I requested an alternate milk.

I was offered a housemade hazelnut chocolate spread on my sweet toast as an upgrade, and proceeded to BE MINDBLOWN. It was absolutely incredible. It was indulgent and wholesome all in one bite... I devoured it in the sun on a bench nearby with a huge grin on my face.

The Chillpill hot drink was also amazing. I stopped going to Starbucks years ago because their specialty drinks were always a disappointment- flat flavour, watery and sugar sludge at the bottom. Never thought I'd find an alternative for a warm 'treat drink'. What I enjoyed today was the antidote. Layers of intricate flavour, not overly sweet and so satisfying because I knew it was mushroomy/adaptogen/magic goodness bits at the bottom of the cup.

I returned a few days later with a friend and got the 'hype fudge' and 'key lime pie' bites, also phenomenal and can't stop thinking about them!

We're so lucky to have a spot like this in Toronto that gets what it really means to make healthy, nourishing food that tastes AMAZING! Now I have a...

Wow! This place is amazing. So many times I had walked by, oblivious to this business, nestled away in a basement, impossible to spot with it's poorly coloured, nondescript sign. Finally though I have found my health guru Mecca!

Walking in off the street on a sweltering summer day, having just finished tossing the ol' Frisbee at a generic Rosedale park, I was a rube in desperate need of a cool refreshing beverage, and didn't Nutbar see me coming!

On this occasion I was serviced by two sweet swindlers, who set me up with a wonderfully bland concoction called Magic Mushroom. "Interesting, a bit spicy!" is how it was sold to me. Sounds perfect I thought, expecting to be wowed by a tasty blend of cinnamon and cardamon. Instead I was presented with an icy cup of lightly flavoured water (filtered, of course), reminiscent Red Rose tea, only watered down, perhaps a second time after a night in the fridge.

All this for only $5! The same price as a fresh juice or bubble tea, with 1/4 the...
