    The Iced latte was watery / didn't have a strong coffee taste. The bowls were nice, generously portioned, and were prepared quickly. Tables were a bit dirty but otherwise a pleasant experience.

    Wonderful little vegan/ vegetarian eatery next to the Quay. My daughter and I are visiting Vancouver from California and just had a lite lunch here. It was our first stop. We throughly enjoyed it. This eatery is environmentally conscious and minimalistic in waste. Compostable to go containers are used for to go items and regular washable plates, bowls, and utensils are used for dining in. There was one communal table and a few smaller tables inside and a small patio area outside in front. The menu filled with yummy plant-based options adorned the wall as you walk in. Choices included smoothies, Acai bowls, wraps, Buddha bowls, salads, toasts, sides, shots, teas, and kombuchas. A huge selection of pastries on display behind glass were also available. They also had a menu option for dogs! We chose the Berry Bliss Acai Bowl and the Bohemian Soul Bowl. The Acai bowl came out in a reasonable amount of time. The Buddha bowl took a little longer. Both presented well with plenty of bright colors and tasted great. Prices were a little high but well worth the price. The ingredients were fresh, healthy, and locally grown and/or brought in. Service was friendly and helpful. We have a few more days in Vancouver. We will definitely visit Buddha-full again before we leave.

    Avo toast

    Went to the North van location yesterday and feasted on some Vegan veg and drinks. The bohemian bowl was okay, fresh carrots, beets, lentils and brown rice with a decent warm sauce. It didn't knock my socks off. The green juice was tasty and comes in a nice sized glass bottle. They have juice shots, I ordered the fireball and gagged because it tasted like salad dressing, so I took it home and poured it on my salad. My daughter ordered the happy face smoothie and said it was delicious. The avocado toast was okay but even the spicy was bland.

    Green Guru smoothie w/ Apple juice, mango, spinach, pineapple, and dates!

    My friends and I decided to visit this spot because we were in the North Van area and had seen pictures of the interior of this place. Although we expected it to be more expensive than most places, we were shocked to find out that all of their smoothies were $11! While they have a lot of options to choose from and the portion sizes are pretty large, I still felt that it was a lot to shell out for a smoothie. Regardless, I ordered the Green Guru smoothie with cold-pressed apple juice + mango + spinach + pineapple + dates, and thought it was good but nothing spectacular. The staff is all lovely and friendly as well, which is always a plus! My favourite part of this café would have to be the interior - it's one of the most aesthetic cafes that I've been to, and they even have adorable swings, definitely #instaworthy! That being said, I recommend coming once if you want a cute spot to have a smoothie and take shameless pics for the Insta, but I probably wouldn't come back a second time given the steep prices!

    Super stale

    I've been a loyal customer of Buddha-Full for years! Back in the day it was somewhat of a cult following for yogis and health junkies, but has recently become popular among the broader Vancouver crowd. I'm usually sucked into their Lobo smoothie and mint Nanaimo bar, which are inconsistent in quality but good for the most part. Today I decided to venture outside of the norm and have to say it was regrettable! I got the pumpkin smoothie, which is fine (tastes like blended pumpkin pie and is overwhelmingly spiced with nutmeg). The mistake was the raspberry cheesecake, which was so stale. I was pretty dissatisfied so I brought it back to the counter, and the employee seemed annoyed by my complaint. I asked to exchange it for a different dessert (that was actually a lower price than what I paid), but she said I had to get the same cheesecake. I reluctantly agreed. This second slice was even more rock hard than the first!! (see picture) I took one bite and left the rest. There's so many great healthy cafes and smoothie spots in Van now. I don't see the point in coming back to here with that type of oversight and customer service. Might have to leave you as a memory, Bye-da-full! :wave-emoji:

    Popped in as I was walking the neighborhood and looking for a healthy option. A great storefront selling lots of local items, so I loved looking around and finding some new local artisans. Went to order and the person working the till seemed very friendly but during the lunch hour rush with a long line, they were chatting long periods with each customer, as I was about 4th in line when I went to order and many more coming in during my wait. I get friendlyness, but during the rush period on a weekday, was a little frustrated. Then it took over 15 minutes for the avo toast I ordered, so I finally had to ask for it to go as I was due back for work and no longer had time to stay and eat. The avo toast itself was wonderful - really great mix, not just slabbing avocado on some bread, so it was worth the long wait in the end, and will go back in the future for sure, just making sure I get myself a little extra time. And the fact it came in a heart, well that was overly adorable! Also, they had some amazing vegan desserts, wish I picked one up!

    Bohemian soul Buddha bowl

    I have no complaints! Space is beautiful, love the communal tables. Service was friendly and at a very reasonable pace for how busy it was :) Food was delicious and presented so gorgeously. I adore their commitment to local suppliers which they list for you to see. It is a bit more expensive here, but what do people expect for local organic food? I for one am happy to support local businesses that support local suppliers and a commitment to organic vegan food. My Buddha bowl left me happy and full, I couldn't finish it all! Hubs had the avo toast and it looked incredible, he also said he didn't need anything more.

    Ohana Luv Acia
    Kaitlyn P.

    Lovely vegan spot in North Vancouver, right in Lower Lonsdale within walking distance to the Quay. Great variety on their menu, offering juvies, lattes, smoothies, Avis bowls, wraps, soups, salads, Buddha bowls and baked goods. I had the Ohana Luv Acia bowl and it was good but I noticed all their bowls have the same toppings which is disappointing because they all tasty different but look the same. It would be nice if they put in some effort and were slightly different. Also I wasn't impressed with the fact that they say bowls will be topped with seasonal fruit yet all I saw on mine was 2 slices of green apple and banana- for that reason they get knocked down a star.

    Rainbow Salad, Wild at Heart bowl
    Michelle S.

    I want to give 3.5 star. I ordered rainbow salad and I got a pre-made salad from the fridge. It wasn't amazing but decent. Wish they made the salad like they did with the bowl my friend ordered. Will I come back? Maybe...

    This is my first visit. Very sad first impression/experience here. I placed a pick up order online and paid extra to have a side soup and avocado and tofu in my sandwich. I came in to pickup my order (very excited to try a new place where I can eat with all my food allergies!). My order was ready on time and the service was friendly. (Restaurant has a nice layout and design ascetic). I was given my order, but had to ask for a takeaway bag (odd since it was a " to go" order). I didn't look inside my take away box because I assumed my order was correct. I trusted them. When I got home, I sat down to open/have my meal and saw a salad. Well, that was a waste of $3. I decided I'd suck that up. I went to have the sandwich and then realized the tofu and avocado (that I also paid extra for) was not included. I was SO disappointed. I also realized the bread was not gluten free. Normally, I don't like to complain (or write 1 star reviews), but after walking in the rain, spending $28.88 for a sandwich and latte and feeling a little cheated, I decided to call and see if they could remake my order. When I called, I spoke to the woman who took my name and looked up my order. She obviously apologized and said I could have a "free pastry" next time I'm in. That's when I asked about the bread because I was told by a friend, who goes here often, this was a gluten free restaurant (When ordering on their site, I saw gluten free, vegan, organic advertised and assumed it was safe to order. Picture attached from website showing misleading info). Her reply to me was that "people who have gluten issues usually spend more time asking questions and viewing websites". I completely understand that was my mistake, but what a thing to say when THEIR kitchen staff clearly doesn't read an online take out order! That statement really disappointed me and surprised me. Since a "free pastry" wasn't what I wanted (I am allergic), I asked if they could remake my order. Her reply was that the kitchen was closed and there was nothing they could do. She asked for my phone number (even though it would be on my online order) and said the manager would call me tomorrow. Since I cannot eat my dinner, wasted $28.88, wasted my time and they won't remake my order...what I had WISHED they offered was a refund for the sandwich, soup, avocado and tofu. My latte I'm fine to pay for because it was correct (and it was yummy). Sadly, this was not offered to me or mentioned. In fact, when I asked for this, I was told the manager would call. I would love to have a good experience here. I understand mistakes are made (we are only human) and restaurants close at 7 PM/people have lives). I expect a call from the manager tomorrow and hope I will receive my refund. I will update this review with the outcome! Really hope I receive a call tomorrow. UPDATE: never received a follow up.

    "Ancient Wisdom" for hot chocolate fest
    Josephine W.

    I dropped in to Buddhafull during the Hot Chocolate Festival as I was curious about their mushroom hot chocolate! The shop is inviting and cute, with lots of greenery and wood accents. The drink I had was called "Ancient Wisdom", a raw dark hot chocolate with adaptogenic (healing) mushrooms and a light spice. The rim had some sweet spices that was delicious! I love dark hot chocolate and I could taste the mushrooms. It worked quite well! I would come back to try some of their other dishes. Lots of healthy items on their menu!

    Ahi poke bowl
    Simon W.

    The place has got an "eat-pray-love" vibe to it. I ordered their seasonal Buddha bowl for take-out, which I'm told is an Ahi Poke. To my dismay, I couldn't find a single trace of Ahi, being Japanese for yellowfin tuna, in my bowl. I dug through the whole thing but was already back at the office so no chance to bring this up with the powers that be. Rest of the flavouring was quite nice, the highlight being the roasted yams which tasted like... roasted yams. I'm not up to speed on the other trendy ingredients but I do know what tuna looks like when I see it - which I didn't. They have an extensive misc home good selection of books, candles, olive oil, and general gifts for the vancouver special. They sell Tiffin carriers; which I'd totally use if I had lunch packed for me everyday - stainless steel just doesn't microwave that well but not to say I wasn't tempted. I'd just really like some Ahi in my Ahi Poke. Is that too much to ask? Probably a 4 star if it's included. I understand that it's a vegan place but let's respect the meaning behind words and use them appropriately - Ahi means tuna.

    Average food for the cost. Nice to have plant-based options in the area but tofu is quite obviously pre-packaged prepared, chewy and tough.

Their menu is extensive and features lots of shakes (both Persian and non-Persian flavours) along with traditional Persian ice cream and some other goodies. I opted for the most sour thing on the menu which was the "Majoon Torsh" and has a bunch of different things inside including pomegranate slush, sour fruit leather (lavashak) and sour berries and it was delicious! Definitely lived up to the sour promise and hit the spot. The owner is really nice and will take the time to explain all the different flavours to you if it's your first time. My only downsides would be the price (the drink I had was $16.99 before tax and tip so definitely a pricy treat) along with the limited seating. A fun place to try if you're in North Van!

It was a great spice which good with this ice cream. Overall, I really love this dessert. They offer expanded menu and can't wait to visit for other item!

That was very surprising and disappointing--especially for a major grocery store bakery. They suggested I call the next day to see if the cake might be available without a custom order. When I called, they said they did have an 8-inch Tiramisu cake available. I asked if they could hold it for me until 5 p.m., after my chiropractic appointment. However, I was told they could only hold it for one hour, and that if I didn't arrive by 1:30 p.m., they would release it. I even offered to provide a credit card number for a deposit to secure the cake, but they said they don't take credit cards for that purpose. I find it unreasonable that a customer can't place a simple cake order in advance due to being "full," and also that the store won't hold a cake for more than an hour--even when it's the same day and the store is still open. Life doesn't always allow for a rigid one-hour window, especially when you're trying to plan around other responsibilities. This experience was not what I expected from Whole Foods, and it added unnecessary stress to planning a special occasion. I hope their bakery department reconsiders their order and pickup policies to be more flexible and customer-friendly.
