scratch.
Our made from scratch approach, includes roasting deli meats on-site and preparing soups fresh daily using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We do not use pre-packaged or processed entrées which avoids unnecessary preservatives. We never use canned, freeze-dried or bagged soup. This helps ensure the availability of a wide variety of healthy choices every day.
We are passionate about creating and serving food that is prepared from scratch, using fresh ingredients sourced from Canadian farms and suppliers.
