Led by health-food expert Ruth Tal and lauded in publications such as More, Fresh puts forth a menu of juice-bar beverages and vegan-based eats prepped fresh daily. Forage through brown basmati rice into a Ninja fresh bowl ($14), which a More columnist described as having "a plucky ginger-tamari dressing and crispy tofu cubes I have not been able to stop thinking about." In lieu of dairy and egg products obtained by arm wrestling a milkman, chefs drizzle peanut sauce over the Thai burger's ($10) vegan patty, and patrons load up fuel reserves with a freshly crafted soup, salad, and cornbread combo ($9–$11.50). Juice gurus meditate on an antioxidant-rich pomegranate and blueberry fruit smoothie ($4.50–$12) and then infuse the brew with an optional single ($2.25) or double ($4.50) shot of E3. Weekend brunch entrees ($11) such as two gluten-free pancakes arrive paired with a helping of vegan sausages that give diners the energy to throw a flaming tire through a larger flaming tire.

Fresh's casual confines were dubbed by Hello! Canada as "a haunt for visiting celebrities, local artists, mall-rat teens and young urban professionals." Each location's culinary crew helps to work toward a sustainable environment through practices such as recycling cooking oil, composting waste, and sewing uneaten lettuce to tree branches during the winter.
