01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located at 224 Ritson Rd N in Oshawa, Freshii offers a refreshing approach to health-focused dining that goes far beyond the usual salad bar fare. This vibrant health food restaurant specializes in creating vibrant, nutrient-packed meals that both nourish the body and delight the palate. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick smoothie or indulging in a wholesome bowl, Freshii presents a thoughtfully crafted menu designed to fuel your day with freshness and flavor.

The menu at Freshii is impressively diverse, catering to all tastes and ages, with standout options that invite you to customize each dish to your liking. For the younger guests, the Super Kids Menu is a testament to thoughtful nutrition—offering the Super Kids Salad loaded with crisp romaine, tender chicken, and a creamy Greek yogurt ranch that hits just the right balance. Their Cheesy Chicken Pocket, wrapped in whole wheat tortilla and packed with aged cheddar, offers a comforting yet healthy bite perfect for little appetites.

For those craving something more substantial, the Limited Time Offer section offers flavors that are both innovative and satisfying. The Chipotle Steak Pocket, bursting with sautéed mushrooms, green onions, and crispy fried onions coated in a creamy chipotle sauce, creates a deliciously smoky, savory experience. Meanwhile, the Harmony Bowl brings together roasted chicken, sweet potatoes, tart cranberries, and crunchy toasted almonds, delivering a wonderfully balanced harmony of textures and robust flavors in every mouthful.

Freshii’s Super Smoothiis are another highlight, crafted to refresh and revitalize. The Tropical Mango blend bursts with ripe mango, pineapple, and banana, accentuated by a subtle hint of turmeric and velvety coconut milk, perfect for a tropical escape in a cup. For a more indulgent twist, the Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothii blends cocoa and peanut flavors with frozen yogurt, creating a silky, satisfying treat that still feels wholesome.

Dining at this location is as pleasant as the menu is vibrant.

There is a great selection on the menu, even allowing you to customize your own dish. I was able to taste test the dressing flavours and, may I add that they all have an amazing flavour. I had a really great first experience.

I was in there 2 nights ago on Wednesday December 3rd. There was a lovely young lady cashier who helped me choose a smoothie for my mom who is in the hospital with cancer. The older gentleman working with her at the time came to assist to customize the smoothie and make sure it would taste good for my mom. Both of them were extremely patient, kind and understanding and took their time to make sure I got the product I wanted. 10/10 customer service

This place has such a diverse selection and so healthy! The salads are so balanced with flavours, im a picky eater but I wouldn’t change a thing about them! The owner was so sweet and gave us testers of his flavours without us asking for them, smoothie was light and flavourful too! Will be coming back!

This is my favourite Freshii location. Owners are often there working and are very friendly, efficient and run a great business. Space is clean and there is usually an open table if you want to eat in. My go to spot for lunch when I haven't brought in my own. Skip the burger and get something that will leave you feeling great for the rest of your day!

I haven't been to Freshii for a while, but I will be back! Cobb Salad and Roasted Pepper/Tomato Soup! Fantastic! The staff here are great! Very helpful and polite. The sitting area is not fancy by any stretch, but most people take food to go. It was clean! Will be back. A little steep on the price ( maybe I am just old..), but $50 for two salads, two soups and a drink! But once again, that may be just me. It was very good, so no real complaints here..

We visited Freshii in Oshawa on Ritson Road as a family of four and had a great experience. We ordered the Salmon Poke Bowl, Buddha Bowl, Oaxaca Bowl, Tex Mex Bowl, and Chipotle Bowl. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The quality of the food was excellent, and we all enjoyed our meals. The restaurant itself is very clean, modern, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Prices are also very affordable, which makes the whole experience even better. Overall, a wonderful visit — highly recommended for anyone looking for tasty and healthy options in Oshawa.
