3.5 star Chatters…read moreCafe & Juice Bar is at the corner of Yonge and Davis Dr. It is a small little cafe that serves food and coffee and Juice/Protein Shakes. So they do have sandwiches, pasta and some hot plates if you do desire. The interior quite cozy with dim lighting. We parked ourselves right on the armchairs the moment we stepped into the empty restaurant on a weekday afternoon. Cappuccino ($2.75) and Cafe Mocha ($2.99) both serves in proper glassware.. which I think does enhance the experience... (+0.5 star). The roast of the coffee is the way I like it... bold with a lot of character.. I cannot comment on the Mocha, but seems like my friend really enjoyed that. Tons of magazines for one to read... so while I was sipping my java and daydreaming.. my friend just busy flipping through all the fashion magazines...

On a rainy evening, I just could not resisted having a healthy hot drink from Village Juicery especially when I saw "Ginger" Fireball: Cold pressed ginger, pineapple, orange & turmeric infused with hibiscus & cayenne pepper. Just one sip, I am a believer! So delicious and has this spicy kick. They also have items on taps. And if you want to purchase a bottle of their cold pressed juice to go, you can also ask for a sample. Happy Hour from 9 am - 11 am for booster shots. Staff is nice and friendly. There is also a small bar counter for 2 if you want to enjoy your drink there.

The juice trailer serves fresh raw pressed juices (& sugar cane juice!), slushies, coconut water and delicious desserts. We ordered their gelato swirl and a juice to go. Everything is made fresh to order. They have a separate hut where you can see the fresh sugar cane machine at work, pressing the juice out. Overall, the quality and presentation of their drinks and desserts are worth their price- it is so unique and delicious. Service is great, and prompt. I highly recommend this spot - it definitely makes you feel like you're on a tropical island.

However, the topping were VERY skimpy!! the pictures show full slices of kiwi, plus like 7-8 slices of strawberries. in my large bowl I got 3 slices of kiwi cut into quarters, I received 4 very thin slices of strawberry which did not amount to even 1 full strawberry. My sister had a quarter of a banana, I think it was 4 thin slices, and she had 9 blueberries. Make your bowls look like your pictures! For $15 please give us more fruit!

Fantastic smoothie bowl place in Barrie! Exactly what I was hoping to find this morning…read more It was not very busy around 10am on a Monday, and there are a ton of options to choose from. Lots of base smoothie flavors and a very wide variety of fruity, dry, drizzled toppings. I ended up going for the acai bowl and chose coconut, blueberry, bee pollen, and banana as my toppings. She was very generous with the toppings, ensuring a perfect photo op! They also have frozen smoothies to take home so you just need to thaw them out. Taste wise, I think the toppings were really fresh, but the smoothie bowls are all pre made. It doesn't quite taste the same. I was hoping to see them blending orders as they came in for that fresh smoothie taste and delightful texture. Instead, it was already premade and frozen so it tasted a little watered down. Just slightly. And it was still icy. I just let it sit in the sun for a few minutes, and that worked perfectly. I love that they don't add sugar too. Definitely would return. If I lived in the area, I would get some more of the unique bases to take home. Definitely try the blue citrus one too! Beautiful look and tastes really refreshing!

Inside, one may order food and buy some knick knacks that are bohemian chic. There is also a clean washroom for one to use. I ordered a super bowl which was $17. The size was great, but I felt it lack some flavour and half the bowl was filled with quinoa. Not a big fan of it, I would have liked less quinoa. My partner had a veggie burger and he liked it. There was a spice kick to it. He wished it came with a side instead of paying additional for it. The following morning we returned to try their açai bowl for breakfast and it was delicious!! Frozen blueberries were provided instead of fresh berries. They could have used seasonal fruits. The crisp coconut pieces added a crunch to each bite. This dish, I would order again. They have a reward system if you sign up. Overall, a nice healthy place to stop by while one is up North enjoying some sports or a little get-away.
