Salad Days

What is Salad Days? Tucked inside 333 Bay Street in the Yonge-Bay Corridor, Salad Days is an enduring, independently run midday sanctuary for Financial District workers craving honest greens without the corporate chain tax. The setup is strictly no-nonsense: an open, fast-casual takeout counter built for speed, efficiency, and freshness. Without dedicated dine-in seating, the entire operation is geared toward grabbing your custom-assembled bowl and heading back to your desk or outside to Cloud Gardens.

Salad Days Menu & What to Order The undisputed heavyweight is the Salad Days Special, an expansive bowl loaded with crisp iceberg, tender spinach, kalamata olives, feta, stuffed vine leaves, creamy tzatziki, hummus, and a generous scoop of signature mashed sweet potato that ties the Mediterranean profile together. The Falafel Wrap delivers substantial crunch and herb-forward flavor for plant-based eaters, while the Chicken Special remains a perennial lunchtime fixture for clean, lean protein. Everything benefits from their zippy house lemon vinaigrette, which balances rich dips and crisp produce with bracing acidity.

Know Before You Go The counter caters exclusively to the Bay Street workweek, operating strictly Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and closing entirely on weekends. Peak lunch queues form between noon and 1:15 p.m., though the seasoned counter staff clears the line with impressive velocity. Arrive via the PATH or King subway station for the quickest access during foul weather.
