True North used to be a dependable place for sandwhiches; their vegetarian sandwhiches in particular were delicious and absolutely worth every penny. The baristas were always a bit rude, but the quality and affordability of food well compensated for the unpleasantness when ordering. Now, the food is not only pricier but shockingly bad. I had the seitanic verses panini; please do NOT waste your money on this! the bread is fine but a measly amount of seitan is slapped together with a tiny bit of cucumber and tomato. that's the sandwhich. it neither fills you up and is actually difficult to eat because its umbearbly dry and utterly tasteless. head to Seoul Taco or Medici instead for something that actually has taste. also, did i mention the baristas are still rude?

ASK for your receipt and ASK what your total is as they will overcharge you. There is a middle aged woman with dark hair and glasses who has awful customer service and will say things like "things are expensive to make" and "you can only get half a refund" etc. She kept walking away when I was telling them I had been charged for the wrong drink. There are other places I'd recommend instead of this location. BUILD coffee being one of them, and within the same area. Several of their reviews echo how overpriced they are and their terrible customer service.

The barista was extremely rude. Her attitude brought me to tears. The chef was very hard working & everything tasted great!

There was no place to sit even if I wanted too... plus the place was filled with smoke from something burning.

12 dollars for a mid sandwich is foul. drinks are okay but the sandwiches do not hit.

I've had the pleasure of getting food and smoothies from True North several times. I have a hard time believing some of these negative reviews, because each time I've been to True North it was a pleasant experience. Just yesterday I picked up two Mango Blast smoothies, a Mae Wilson sandwich, and a Freakin Vegan sandwich. The smoothies were perfect. Not too sweet, but not too watered down. My mom loved her Mae Wilson sandwich which was thick and hearty. My Freakin Vegan sandwich was tasty and flavorful... full of spice but not overpowering. I really enjoy coming to TrueNorth. No one who works there has ever been rude to me. People that work there are generally friendly, but not so much so that it seems fake. I've even brought my dog with me when picking up food and everyone was nice to him as well.

Love this place and go all the time! However, if you're looking for a place with reliable wifi I've had issues connecting to the internet here, so try to bring work that isn't internet dependent.

DELICIOUS drinks and GREAT vegan options! If they get some vegan cheese going with those options, it'll be hard to get me to stop spending money there.

This is a pretty decent place serving really good coffees, smoothies and some unique flavored coffees as well. Good coffee, especially love their cardamom latte! Service could be better though sometimes the barista doesn't even give a smile but probably they having a bad day or busy day! Still love the coffee!
