Kupfert & Kim

Awesome vegan place. All food is super delicious made from prime ingredients. Love their healthy desserts too.
Great prices and setting.

At 6pm on a Monday night there wasn’t a line up at all. I really enjoyed the daily burger — it had the texture of a falafel, and was made of chia seeds, various nuts and basically a ton of protein. It came with a side of salad and baked yams, which made the meal super filling. Total came to around $ 13, so it is on the pricey side, but it’s definitely something worth trying out!

This place is awesome for a quick bite during the day if you want something healthy sans meat, chicken or fish. I’m starting to eat more vegan food these days, so this place was a nice spot to indulge my vegan craving. For $ 11.75 I got an amazing meal, which looked like a $ 50+ dish at elBulli or something. It tasted great and I felt full afterwards. They give you a little metal flagpost, which indicates what you ordered… I thought it was cool and weird in a way.
Seriously, if you’re vegan/​vegetarian or just want something light and not «too heavy», you’ve gotta check out this place and try one of their dishes. The staff is friendly too. Oh, and I dig the décor. Nice job, guys!

They have most healthiest and less sweet banana bread. They have great salad. I love their waffle

Best Kale Salad. It’s called the Wahaka. Has brown rice, beans, corn, salsa and guacamole and nachos. Must out some of the green hot sauce on top. Have this for lunch once a week. Very delicious and filling.

On the fence.
This place is amazing for having a great variety of vegan munches. The Oaxaca is a favourite by a landslide. The treats are also awesome, esp the Hello Dolly Bar.
They also serve Sam James Cut Coffee with a variety of vegan milks which is off the chain.
BUT. The food is crazy over priced and will sting the wallet. Also lots of lack lustre items. The Curry Bowl has the texture of frozen and tastes unbalanced and just full of dry spices. Some of the treats are yucky or just edible.
Certainly a nice change from a lot of PATH options, but prices are certainly contributing to the end of the hype in favour of places like Freshii and IQ.
I say all this and still pop in at least once a week for a Oaxaca bowl and a 9 dollar smoothie.

For anyone looking for this restaurant, IT’S DOWNSTAIRS IN THE MALL!
Ate here for the first time today and had the First Canadian Place, I was pleasantly surprised! It tasted fresh and yummy and there was actually a LOT of food packed in there. I finished most of it (not all of it) and actually felt too full. I’m excited to come back to try a different salad. The cashier girl wasn’t the friendliest but at a place like this it’s all about the food right?

Lots of variety and delicious salads! The desserts are also really good. I like it better than the IQ Foods in the cafeteria on the top floor because of its variety and because the prices are slightly more reasonable.

Came here for the banana cocoa muffin (they also offer a seasonal one which was apple today) which Was still warm from the oven. So moist and delicious and tasted like real bananas unlike generic muffins. Would definitely come back again for it. Just what I was craving ! 3.98 plus tax.

I can’t speak to the specifics of my meal’s healthiness or health factors (I’m more of a Popeye’s kind of girl), but wow — if this is what healthy food tastes like, I would voluntarily eat it everyday.
I visited on a Tuesday at exactly 12:00 PM and the lunch rush hadn’t really begun yet, thankfully. After seeing the pictures, I ordered the Oaxaca (which I was told is apparently pronounced OH-​HA-​CAH — I butchered it the first time).
I don’t know how on earth they made the salad taste this delicious, but it was. Best «healthy» lunch I’ve ordered in the Financial District, filled with brown rice, black beans, kale, stringed beets, corn, tortilla chips and a mixture of pico de gallo, guacamole and cashew cream slathered all over these veggies. The sauce made the salad, and the combination of favours absolutely blew me away.
My total was $ 10.40 plus tax, which was $ 11.75. Can’t wait to come back and try the other options!

5 stars for the cappucino, 4 for the food. Ordered the Oaxaca box for lunch which was delicious but needed more kale. It was fresh and delicious though. There was a bit of confusion with hot sauce as the lady asked if we wanted some, we said yes, and then she put something in the box that wasn’t the hot sauce… It ended up being on a shelf that you got yourself. That being said, I would have happily walked away with the whole container, it was incredible sauce.
Note: they don’t have their full menu here (disappointing) and only feature one burger a day.

By far my favorite vegan /​healthy eating eatery in Toronto. I first came here a few weeks ago and asked for the K&K paleo:
roasted root vegetables, sunflower protein balls,
organic arugula, organic kale, organic cucumber,
purple cabbage, house-​made sauerkraut, carrots,
fennel, onion, dill, organic parsley, cilantro
with tahini sauce and horseradish chimichurri
but they were sold out. So they called and asked another K&K if they could make one for me. I really appreciate customer service that goes above and beyond. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, and felt rejuvenated after. I am so happy that they are opening new franchises around the city, so I can have it everywhere.

I eat lunch here approximately 3 times per week (WaterPark location — which has virtually the same menu).
The First Canadian is by far my favourite box. It’s sweet, savoury and healthy with ingredients like kale, quinoa, sweet potato, pomegranate seeds. If you don’t like super sweet dressing, ask for the almond butter-​lime dressing as a replacement.
Other recommendations include: Paleo box, Cauliflower box and the almond cookie (totally addicting).

Everything is great at Kupfert & Kim — wonderful, healthy, delicious food for your soul. This is food that nutritious your body. The staff are kind and helpful! The menu consists of a larger selection than the 1^st Canadian Place.
Admittedly, it is slightly more costly than other offerings in the PATH. It is, however well worth the extra cost, especially for your health. There are also great muffins, cookies and sweets options to keep your belly happy and energy high!
Kupfert & Kim helps you go-​on-​and-​on like the energizer bunny!

Every PATH patron’s favorite long lineup at lunch! Branded as «meat free, wheat free,» K&K has all kinds of delicious meals, snacks and beverages. Does a similar «box of quinoa and veggies» thing as iQ, but K&K seem to rely less on sauces and has the appearance at least of being slightly healthier. In any case, I’m hooked. It would seem a lot of others are too, as I’ve seen at least two new locations in the PATH sprout up in the last six months. Here are my top picks:
Breakfast — the housemade granola is incredible, with all kinds of crazy crap, fresh blueberries, your choice of milk, etc. The quinoa porridge is also great.
Lunch — the Kim is my favorite in their selection of quinoa/​, with brown rice, kimchi and other Asian veggies. There hasn’t been one I haven’t liked though.
Beverages — if you need a quick breakfast, the peanut butter espresso smoothie is perfect. The green smoothie is refreshing and light, and the hot detox tea has cayenne, lemon and other stuff to at least give you the illusion that you’re getting rid of any potential sniffles heading your way.
Snackz — Bunner’s supersonic cookie. This cookie runs my whole damn life. It’s delicious. Their little protein/​energy balls and other baked items are also awesome. As one of those gluten-​free people, I love having this option for a sweet treat available to me.

Absolutely delicious! I ordered the Oaxaca with quinoa and it was so scrumptious, fresh and tasty! I especially loved the hot sauce, which was fresh with just the right amount of heat. While $ 11 is a bit steep for a lunch, it’s about what I’d expect for a salad bar of this calibre. A lot of the ingredients used are organic, and special attention is paid to ensure products are non-​GMO. I appreciate the attention to detail and the healthy and sustainable approach K&K takes to their products.
They’re opening a location at Queen and Spadina, which is dangerously close to my work, so I better hide my wallet! I’m hoping by the time the new location opens, I will finally remember the name of this place. «Kupfert and Kim» just won’t resonate!

I feel so lucky to work in a building with so many amazing Vegan and Vegetarian options. Needless to say Kupfert & Kim is one of my favorites, I always go for the Oaxaca and there is this seed burger that is on the special board every so often. They are quick considering how insane the line up is at lunch. Also, they have been known to give me an extra P B & J energy ball when I go down late! The coffee is not for me, I found it far too «earthy» tasting, but everything else is amazing. Also, try the Hello Dolly Bars, to die for. Yes 11.00 may seem a lot for «fast food» but you’re paying for a balanced healthy meal, so it is worth it.

Meatless wheatless, two things I am definitely not. However after endless weeks of subzero temperatures and the associated hibernation-​like lethargy and comfort foods, I had a craving for something fresh and healthy and K&K seemed like a good option (bonus points that it could be accessed without having to go outside!).
I ordered the Kim box, which from the description had the potential to be amazing but unfortunately fell a bit short for me.
The fresh ingredients — pea shoots, cabbages, steamed bok choy, daikon, cucumber, edamame — were perfect and the almond chili kaffir lime dressing was deliciously inspiring. The best part of the box though was the tofu, that was marinated in something awesome, but sadly they provided only two measly cubes of it. That coupled with dreadfully undercooked brown rice and «hot sauce» that was laughably mild ruined what might have otherwise been an experience worthy of the +$ 10 price tag.
That said, I would certainly give this place another shot should the urge for meatless wheatless strike again.

K&K. Vegan, Vegetables, Very GOOD!
Meatless Wheatless is not a lie. Kupfert and Kim offers and range of menu items. They’ve recently added burgers to their menus and also have an exciting breakfast, smoothie, coffee and dessert menu. You can find something you like here at any time of the day.
There are many debates about K&K about it being healthy or not, but as long as you’re conservative on the portions and the sauces that they provide you, you are clear.
My favourite is the Oxaca (not pronounced the way it spelled). It’s filling and has a lot nice spicy flavour. I’ve googled searched the nutrition on this box and I’ve heard reviews that its high in sodium and really not that healthy at all, but to avoid this you can say no to the «tortilla chips» and take it easy on the dressing. Everything else in this box is fresh and healthy.
The breakfast menu is also very enticing. I’ve had the steel cut oats and was very satisfied after doing so. It was a nice portion and they added fresh nuts and fruits to my liking. Coffee is also great here for the mornings, a little more on the expensive side and you’re also forced to get almond/​soy milk because they are afterall, vegan.
Finally, the dessert menu — my favourite part. My favourite dessert is by far the Earth & city Brownie which is locally brought in from a bakery that specializes in vegan desserts. If you’re ever craving for a sweet fix and don’t want to go too crazy. Try this.
I would say everythign at kupfert and kim is great. The only thing I would suggest is to go early (11:45am). because the lines get crazy!
Service is great here, they try to be as fast as they can.
Also, there is a new location in Brookfield place for those closer located towards union.
A great place for lunch during the week!

It can be difficult to make health food taste good, but the line outside Kupfert & Kim during lunch hours is testament to just how good their food is. During my one month in Toronto, I tried everything on the menu and the workers probably know me by name.
The green smoothie is one of the best veggie smoothies I’ve had, with a kick of ginger with the pear, banana, and kale. It definitely tastes nutritious and is not for palates accustomed to sugary Jamba Juice smoothies. They offer a variety of bowls, each with an amazing dressing that pairs perfectly with the ingredients in the box. One of my favorites is the Oaxaca, which is essentially a kale and quinoa salad topped with Mexican toppings like corn, pico de gallo, black beans, and avocado. They include a cashew cream that’s drizzled on top, and the nutty flavor is perfect with the spices of the bowl. I also love the Kim, which is a Korean-​style bowl with bok choy and marinated tofu. With so many different kinds of vegetables and flavors, it’s extremely hearty and leaves me full for hours.
With fresh and seasonal ingredients mixed up in novel ways, Kupfert & Kim is definitely one of my favorite lunch spots and will continue to be long after I’m back in San Francisco!
