Best place for chopped water and Ceasar salad on a summer day. I would get quesadillas. The service is amazing and very fast we were driving and we stopped for a fast meal, plus the interior is beautiful bathrooms have lilacs and smooth soap the crew are so kind and fast at taking you orders.
Review by my sweet little rascals :-D
Sooooo good!!!! #3. The bomb. Greek Salad. Rice. Chicken (added) Tztiki. Greek dressing. Soooo good. Huge portions. Service is really friendly here!! Leave here and not feel guilty.
If your looking for a place to have a fresh wrap or salad this is a good place to come. They have a extensive menu that took me a really long time to read and figure out what I wanted. I decided on the Pegasus wrap because I really wanted kalamata olives (in the create your own there is an additional charge for picking them as they are a premium ingredient) I ate my entire wrap to find not even one single kalamata olive in it :( I was so disappointed. The wraps come out tightly wrapped and not cut in half so there was no way of my knowing if the olives were in it or not. The vegetarian salad rolls were okay- not as good presentation as in the menu photo but decent overall. The kids quesadilla was a hit and all in all everything was eaten rather quickly.
I always come here when I am feeling the need for a healthy meal. Always fresh ingredients and good quality, I would love to see more variety of bowls but overall great place.
My cousin recommended this place to me and she was right... Delicious salads and reasonably price. I ordered the Popeye Salad which includes spinach, oranges, apples, sun-dried cranberries, roasted pecans & feta with fruit vinaigrette and I added prawns with it. I also got the chopped water which was watermelon in water. Soo refreshing. The meal was light but filling as well. They gave me a lot of shrimp and was not just a few pieces. I will be back to try more salads and the soups sound good.
EDIT: The second time I decided to come back to the Chopped Leaf I was a lot happier with the food. I got the #1 bowl and some of the chopped water and really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend getting the full bowl over the salad. I don't know what it is about the chopped water, but it was amazing! Perfectly fruity and refreshing. I will be coming back again, despite my first impressions.
Original Review:
I feel sorta meh about this place.Wasn't really feeling the salad, and it wad quite expensive for a salad. I disliked the taste of the dressing, but that could just be personal preference.
However, the soup I had (i think it was north African spiced lentil or something of the sort?) was amazing! Would consider going back just for the soup. Apprehensive about trying another salad though. Overall, I'd say it's worth a shot but don't get your hopes up about the salad. Just because it's pricier, doesn't mean it's delicious.
Place is nicely decorated inside and I like how they serve/present the food. Staff was really sweet as well.
My new favorite. Whole foods that taste delicious.
I have eaten salads here on several occasions and find this fresh food restaurant to be a wonderful alternative to the less healthy options that are out there. Minor issue with one meal was fixed cheerfully and efficiently.
A New Favourite!. I went to the Airdrie location last weekend. I was just leaving an appointment I had, starving, driving around looking for a quick bite before the gym when I drove past the Chopped Leaf. The exterior of the building looked very modern, the name sounded fresh..so I stopped in. I ordered the Sunshine Wrap I think it was called, and added chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly! Warm, juicy, flavorful. There were HUGE chunks of it in my wrap along with chunks of apple, avocado and spring mix. It was one of the tastiest wraps I've ever had. The girl at the till convinced me to try the "Chopped Water" as well. Water infused with watermelon and I think it was papaya. OMG - so yummy and refreshing!
I wish I needed to be in Airdrie more frequently just to have an excuse to stop in for lunch again.
Healthy Options. Plenty of healthy options at Chopped Leaf to choose from. Select your protein, select your fresh veggies and decide which form you want it in: salads, wraps or bowls.
The ingredients are fresh, the sauces are creative and in the end, the cost of a wrap costs around $10. The service is pretty quick too for a assembly line counter. The longest thing you have to wait for is if you get a warm protein.
For a different flavour packed in a crunchy vegetable meal, Chopped Leaf is welcome option in Calgary fast food.
Yummy!. Although I hesitate to refer to the Chopped Leaf as "fast food" because of the stigma associated with that term, it is SO refreshing to finally find a fast food joint that has plenty of good quality vegetarian/vegan options. I got the "whole bowl - number 2", topped with smoked tofu. Yum! I will be coming back.
Last week I went the Royal Oak location for the first time and was absolutely thrilled to have found my new favorite restaurant. I had the whole bowl option 1 with grilled chicken and absolutely savored every bite. It was sooo scrumptious. To my great delite I realized there was another location near my office in Airdrie so I went today for lunch again and was planning to order the very same thing since I loved it so much but decided to be a little more adventurous so I ordered the whole bowl option 2 this time. Turns out I love that one even more! Such a fantastic combination of flavors and textures. The portions were very large and I could have easily shared with my kids for dinner next time. But then again...why would I want to share? Its just too good! The first time a girlfriend and I dined in for lunch and it was fabulous. This time I was in a rush so I took it to go. They had it ready so fast and they pack it the cutest take out box! I hate eating out of styrofoam. This is so much nicer. Can't wait to go back. Hmmm whats for dinner?
I was invited to a media event that happened on Sept 10th and 11th.
Staff was super friendly and helpful. Made sure that my dairy allergy and my friend's vegan preference were taken care of. Knowledgeable staff and the food was soooooo good!! Can't wait to come again!!

We discovered this "brand" by chance. Being gluten free and vegans and being in Cochrane not too many chances presented. Subway was two doors down but their offer is very weak. So we decided to try this never heard about caffe. Exceptional food and service. But not every one is equal as they have different owners. Two good in Coventry Hills, one in Airdrie, one in Cochrane. The others we tried, just OK if you are hungry. The Curry soup: to die for it. This one is, so far, number 1.
Place is great. Food is good and the staff are friendly. I would go all the time but parking is awful. It is terrible trying to get in the complex and there is never any parking.

No. 4 bowl with tuna and bangkok wrap with prawns. Ingredients were very fresh.
The employees were really accommodating of my vegan diet! I will be back :)
