I ordered the OC açai cuz I like to keep things simple. I also eliminated the cacao nibs and coconut but added the free peanut butter drizzle. I like to keep it as plain as possible because I actually want to taste the açai. Phew! Thankfully I COULD taste the açai here! The toppings were fresh and plentiful. Speaking of plentiful, I thought there was just a tad too much granola. I don't even like granola with my açai to begin with but kept it to try. Next time I'd just ask for a little less. It is $15 for the bowl but this thing is HUGE. It's so worth it. I actually almost didn't finish it because I was getting super full towards the end. I got this for breakfast around 9:40am and I was still pretty full at 1pm. Everything on their menu looks so good and I can't wait to try more!!

Strictly a wellness bar of smoothies, superfood bowls, and coffee cafe. The strawberry sunrise is…read moreyour typical strawberry banana smoothie at $8 plus tax. Service was slowish and took a while for the drink to be made. Even when there was no customers ahead of me. Ambiance is more of a take out establishment. Bright white building though with tall counters. Clean and had three staff on hand. Overall, a little put off with the lack of transparency with their additional optional add ons. Sources are not provided nor transparent when i inquired about them.

It's bright, airy, and modern. We ordered 3 dishes to share: cauliflower wings, broccoli Mac n cheese, and the seitan chick'n sandwich. We also got 2 kombuchas and with tax and tip, the order came to $60. The food was yummy. I can't say it's the best vegan place I have ever been to, but it's definitely quite tasty. My favourite was the cauliflower wings followed by the seitan chick'n sandwich. I'm not crazy about nutritional yeast, so I didn't love the Mac n cheese. Overall, the menu has many options to choose from, which is a big plus in my opinion. Would recommend to both vegan and non-vegan eaters to try :)

3.5 Stars I'm torn…read more I really want to jump on the bandwagon and say that the smoothies here are out of this world, but I can't. Yes, this was refreshing after a day of hiking the falls of Hamilton. Yes, it was very healthy. Yes, service was amazingly friendly and cheerful. Yes, the atmosphere was relaxing and trendy. No, the smoothies were not amazing. Don't get me wrong, they were good, but they didn't exactly taste like what they were supposed to taste like. I think they just need to reformulate the amounts of the ingredients that go into the smoothies. All of their smoothies have a spinach and kale base. I ordered the Sobi-Smoothie "Strawberries and Cream", which had strawberries, bananas, coconut milk, almonds, and cranberries. My cousin ordered the Mumbai Mango, which had mangoes, bananas, and coconut milk. Our other cousin ordered the Chocolate Cherry. While I enjoyed tasting all the smoothies, I felt that they mostly tasted the same; the only smoothie where I could taste all the flavors was the Chocolate Cherry. The use of coconut milk in the other two smoothies was extremely heavy-handed because that was the dominant flavor in both of them. You couldn't even taste the bananas, which are usually a very strong flavor profile. It felt like we were mostly drinking the coconut milk smoothies with a hint of strawberries or a hint of mangoes, not the other way around. That said, you definitely feel good about yourself when you eat here because you know exactly what you're putting into your body. The GSB has a menu of foods, smoothies, and snacks that are all 100% organic and vegan; they are also an extremely green business (no pun intended) and compost all their waste -- even their cups, straws, and food containers are compost friendly. All in all, I'd check this place out again if I ever go back to Hamilton; I'd probably ask for less coconut milk though.

They had several types of juices, smoothies, bottled juice cleanses and bubble teas. Also had…read morebubble teas on the menu. They had about 15 kinds of additional toppings which include boba pearls, jelly, vegan collagen powder etc. Also there was a cold shelf which had a few slices of The Cheesecake Factory branded cheesecakes. The Special smoothie was very basic which was mango, strawberry, banana and almond milk. It was very pricey at $7.00 for a small serving cup. It wasn't that special. The service was average and not outstanding. The CSR filled the order quite quickly because there was no line up but provided the most minimal friendly service. The juice bar is located on the upper floor food court. it normally is loud with kids and families especially on the weekend. But being it a Friday night right before the mall closed it was a delight being up there.

I've always wanted to try Refresh, but never had the opportunity to have it until today, when I was…read moremaking a stroll through Downtown Guelph. They use the highest quality organic fruits and vegetables and are most famous for their cold-pressed juices. Instead of getting a cold-pressed juice, I decided to get one of their açai bowls. Here's my rundown: Food There were three açai bowls to choose from - classic, beauty, and soul. I got the beauty açai bowl which had the açai, avocado, coconut oil, and almond milk blend topped with bananas, granola, coconut flakes and fresh strawberries. The açai blend was smooth and rich in flavour while the fresh fruit and oats made for great flavours and textures. It was a very refreshing treat to get and had the perfect balance between all ingredients. Atmosphere Can't really comment on the atmosphere here because the store is quite small and has minimal seating. There were about 4 high chairs to sit but it's more meant to be used while you're waiting for your drinks or bowls. It's small like most downtown cafés and this place is more so for those grab and go type of people. Service Service was really friendly and the employee was helpful in helping me make a decision about the type of bowl to get. No complaints here; they were really inviting and patient with my indecisiveness. Price I paid $10 for the açai bowl! A little pricy but you're paying for quality organic food here so it's worth every dollar. Verdict Refresh is indeed a refreshing experience has they use only the finest organic fruits to make their products. I'm excited to return here to try their juices and other açai bowls. Definitely worth a try if you're roaming around downtown Guelph. A well-deserved 5/5 experience!
