Choose your noodle or rice, your flavour (from curries to broths), then add herbs, vegetables, proteins, and toppings for a quick lunch that’s made just the way you like it.
b.good
If you’re searching for a quick meal without the slow afternoon, lunch from b.good will get you through the day. It started with two friends and the concept of making people feel good about what they’re eating, and has grown to have 5 locations across Toronto and Oakville today. Try the Spicey Avocado and Lime bowl for a filling but not heavy lunch–it’s our favourite.

Try ‘The Wreck’, one of Potbelly’s Signatures. And if you’re not in a huge hurry, enjoy it to the tunes of local musicians who play in the shop regularly.
