In the city, come summer, maintaining that ‘get up and go’ attitude can be a toughie when faced with an onslaught of brutal temperatures and a commute ahead of any adventure outdoors.
Whether you’re heading to work or meeting a friend, having something cold and with a little caffeine in it can help keep the spirits up and prevent that sort of mid-afternoon drowsiness that sucks the liveliness out of a person.
Enter in Vietnamese iced coffee. A cold coffee cools down the body and the caffeine in it increases your level of focus and concentration, keeping you engaged in some pretty challenging summertime conditions at times.

What Are Toronto Pho Reviews Saying About Our Pho This Summer?
Toronto Pho is a brand on a mission! Since our inception, we’ve continually aimed to be the #1 pho spot in the city. With multiple locations and a lot of growth in the past few years, we’ve fortunately served hundreds of thousands of Torontonians across the GTA.
It’s no secret that customer service is a huge aspect of being a successful restaurant in Toronto. The way we see it is that every bowl of pho is our opportunity to either come up short or exceed expectation.
It’s kind of like defending a championship. Toronto has a lot of sports teams. Blue Jays. Raptors. Maple Leafs. The Argonauts. Toronto FC. Toronto Wolfpack. When you win a title, you have to defend that title. When you lay a claim on being the best Vietnamese restaurant in Toronto or having the best pho in the GTA, that’s a title our customers ultimately have to decide whether we’ve earned it or not.
Here are real customer reviews, written by Torontonians who have been served at both our Dufferin/Eglinton and North York locations. Here is what they have to say about having Toronto Pho in the summer.

A Canada-wide bubble tea shortage has put all the bubble tea places in Toronto on notice. Toronto Pho, like so many others, is at risk of a major shortage in bubble tea. Here’s some information on what’s happening and what to expect when you put in an order at Toronto Pho.
Why is There A Bubble Tea Shortage in Toronto
Normally, when you walk into Toronto Pho to buy bubble tea, you’ll find lots to choose from. Passionfruit, strawberry, pearls, pineapple, honeydew, coconut, mango, watermelon, taro, matcha green tea, Thai red with grass jelly, brown sugar bubble tea, and roasted oolong. They are great flavors come summer which is why bubble tea in Toronto is usually so popular at this time.

Due to start-and-stop lockdowns and over a year’s worth of disruptions to our supply chains, unfortunately, Toronto Pho is now encountering some trouble obtaining enough eco-friendly packaging supplies to provide meals to our customers.
Just a few months after making the switch to more sustainable packaging, Ontario was back under lockdown from the rise in COVID-19 infections. This has made obtaining certain supplies challenging, none of the more frustrating than that of trying to replenish our stock of paper packaging.
We are sending this message out to all of our customers. Toronto Pho is doing everything in its power to deal with these delays. We will soon run out of our new eco-friendly packaging. As everything is being pushed back and arrival dates re-scheduled, rest assured we have found a way forward.
Toronto PHO is always looking at ways to go green. Recently we dropped our new sustainable packaging that included beautifully designed, paper bowls, cups, boxes, and bags. The more eco-friendly we are, the less environmental impact we and our customers have to worry about whenever they order their favorite dish from Toronto Pho. The rise in takeout orders in Toronto has challenged us to do better with our takeout packaging. One of the most cost-efficient and eco-friendly materials is wood. To be a more sustainable Toronto brand, we have turned our cutlery and utensils over into wood. Moving away from plastics has always been a goal for our brand and is something we encourage for other sustainable Toronto brands as well. Plastic packaging is non-biodegradable and in large amounts can be incredibly harmful to our waste management systems. Wood is a far more appropriate alternative.

Alright, let’s be honest here, when you think of PHO you do not necessarily think of it as THE ultimate vegan/vegetarian dish. And to be fair the traditional version does contain A LOT of animal products and by products (which would make it totally out of the question for our plant based friends). But we know that great food doesn't necessarily have to have meat in it. Especially with Vietnamese cuisine as we rely so much on aromatics that are plant based. This is why we've had our "CHAY" menu for a few years now. Even before we started noticing that the number of vegetarians and vegans had started to dramatically increased in Toronto.
