My daughter and I got hooked on to Acai bowls recently so this place was on my radar for awhile since I knew that they have Acai bowls on their menu. Managed to get to this place over the weekend. Having tried this place I think we've tried pretty much every spot on the North Shore now that serves Acai bowls. This was a pretty good one. A good combination of ingredients in the bowl. Not too big a serving, but not too small a serving either. Super tasty! The bowl actually looked a bit on the small side to me when I got it. After eating it though, I felt more than sufficently filled. My daughter got the Berry Bliss Acai while I got the 'Ohana Luv Acai. My bowl had some kind of bright blue sauce on it. Wish I'd asked what made it blue. We both ordered drinks as well. My daughter had the 5 Moons Chai and I had the Healer. Whoa...they are quite heavy handed with using ginger in their drinks. I enjoyed my drink but I think there was too much ginger for my daughter's taste. It was like the kind of ginger drink that I sometimes boil at home when one of us gets sick and we need something to soothe our sore throat. Recommend the Acai Bowl. I'd be wary of the warm tonic drinks. Great if you like ginger! Uggghh, they took away free parking on Lonsdale Ave.! I had to park a bit further off just to find a one hour free parking spot. read more

Buddha-Full is absolutely beautiful! This delicious & nutritious plant-based cafe has everything our hearts desired: coffee & tea, smoothies & juices, Buddha bowls & Açaí bowls, power salads & tasty wraps, indulgent desserts & energizing snacks... It was almost impossible to not get one of everything! After a long travel day, my hubby and I got off the Seabus and walked straight up the road to Buddha-Full. Here's what our 1st visit looked like: * Bohemian Soul Bowl (excellent) * Wild At Heart Bowl (so good I got this again the next day after tackling the Grouse Grind!) * Be Green Smoothie (refreshing, fresh, loved that it had spirulina) * Raw Cinnamon Roll (had to try it, was like cinnamon cookie dough) As mentioned, we came back the next day after hiking Grouse Grind, hitting the spot again in the best way! 2nd visit was all about: * Wild at Heart Bowl (again!) * Coastal Vibes Bowl (another winner) * The Grind smoothie (in honor of just completing Grouse Grind) * Soul Starter (warm tonic with loads of health properties) * Tiramisu (because it was my husband's birthday that day!) The staff here was very friendly both visits, and we can't wait to come back the next time we're in town! Big thank you to the lady (possible one of the owners or managers) who noticed we were overcharged for one of the items and corrected it while we were enjoying our meal. Thanks so much! read more

Nutrition-oriented vegan cafe with kind of a hippie vibe. They have a little bit of everything on the menu. To drink: smoothies, coffee/tea and "tonics" (think turmeric, beetroot, mushroom lattes). To eat: wraps and sandwiches, bowls, raw desserts/energy bites, and (baked) cookies. I really enjoyed my food. I got the Tuscan wrap, a caramel raisin bar, and an iced chocolate surrender drink. The Tuscan wrap was really good! Everything on it just went together so well, but this pesto cheese gets a special mention. I'm not much of a pesto person because it usually makes things oily, but the pesto cheese spread in this wrap was not oily at all and was very tasty. I also loved the vinaigrette on the side salad! The wrap was dense and pretty filling. In the raisin bar, the nut butter flavour was very prominent, which I liked but wasn't expecting, otherwise it tasted like butter tart filling. It was different and I was really into it. The bar was like a brick - it was dense, and the slice was so big that I could only finish half in one sitting. The chocolate surrender was very chocolatey but not as sweet like regular hot/iced chocolate drinks, which I really liked, but I think I would have liked it better without the coconut oil added; I was getting a little too much of the scent, and I think the coconut oil may have been responsible for making the drink a little too rich. A while ago, I visited the Northwoods location and tried the caesar Butler chicken wrap and the soul searcher latte, and sampled a few of the raw dessert bars. These were all really good too, there's nothing I tried that I wouldn't recommend. I prefer to eat vegan when given the choice, so I really appreciate all the creative options here. It is kind of expensive, but I find the food here more interesting and satiating than most vegan options at other cafes. I did like the atmosphere here, but it would be nicer (and more environmentally friendly) if they had actual plates/bowls, cutlery, and glasses instead of only disposable takeout containers and cutlery. read more

I tried their chai tea latte and it's honestly one of the best I've ever had. It's not like an ordinary chai, they add a lot of ginger to it so you can feel the spice in your chest when you drink it. I love that! read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Very high volume music, you can't really relax and have a bite, because of the sound, that would be great for a night club but not for a Buddha bowl lunch place. The food is ok but not special, and I would say a bit overpriced. The service can be a bit more friendly and kind read more

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: read more

Buddha-Full - Super stale - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

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! read more

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. read more

I happened upon this cafe while I was in search for Two Daughters whose storefront appeared to be closed. There was a sign on the fence indicating they were still accepting special orders so they were definitely still open for business. I ran into some ladies who were looking to get pastries at the same shop and they let me know that Buddha-full also sold their goods and walked me there. The decor of Buddha-full was super cute. I didn't have a chance to Yelp this place prior to going so I wasn't studied up on this cafe. I was happy to learn this place was fully vegan and there were just so many sweets and pastries to choose from. Since this was a healthier place, it appeared most of the sweets were sweetened with dates and natural sweeteners vs. straight-up sugar. The girl at the register was very helpful in recommending things to try. I got the Mango Cheesecake Bar, Sunflower Seed Bar, and Golden Milk (I think that's what it was called). Everything was so good!! I also appreciated not having to pay extra for non-dairy milk. Yay! The sweets had just a hint of sweetness so they weren't overpowering or exhausting. Since they were made of whole food ingredients, I found them to be quite filling and it took me quite a bit of picking at them throughout the day to finally finish them. I wasn't even able to finish them after a hard run at Grouse Grind, they were very filling! I definitely will come back here the next time I'm in Vancouver. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Got the NUT-THING BETTER acai bowl and was quite disappointed. They presentation of the ingredients really turned me off. They slapped a bunch of peanut butter on the top so you have to eat through the peanut butter first to get through to the other flavors/ingredients because of the stickiness of the peanut butter. Normally the acai bowls I usually get would tastefully layer the ingredients so you can all the flavors in each bite/spoonful. Also, their granola was disgusting. I was not a fan of it. However, everything else was alright hence the three stars. My boyfriend got one of the smoothies and it was a little too sour but better than the acai bowl in my opinion. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Horrible Customer Service I am vegan and I thought I'd treat myself and order lunch at Buddha-Full today. I remembered that last time I asked the person at the counter to recommend something, she looked at me, like 'what do you want', and let me stand there, like an idiot, trying to figure out what they have. This time, I thought, in order to avoid such awkward situation, I will order online, so I can check out what they have. I did order stuff I wanted check out, so I spent $35.86 on a lunch, which is a lot. I went to pick it up. The woman puts my order on the counter: 6 different small and large containers. I was waiting for her to give me a bag to carry it, but she didn't. When I asked, she gave me half of a small container you get when you buy coffee. I asked her if she has a bag, because I couldn't see myself carry all of it like that. She says 'bag is 25 cents, is that OK?' By that time I was a bit annoyed, so I thought, "you have charged me an arm and a leg for this food and have the nerve to ask for money for the bag????" So, I said, 'no thanks' and proceeded to carry the containers. She watched me as I was balancing them, three of them quite slippery material, so I dropped the drink and lost half of the $7.50 drink.... She still didn't help me out with a bag. This experience completely ruined my lunch I was looking forwards to. One thing is for sure: this store will never get a penny of my money in future. I will make my own food and it will cost me 10 bucks instead of 36. I am deleting my account I set up today. Conclusion: just because they are vegan, doesn't mean they are nice people or that they don't want to rip you off. PS. I tried to delete my account and it won't let me. They have my name and address. I am not very happy about it. Hopefully, they won't spam me. read more

Love the decor and concept but yikes the day I tried this joint for the first time they weren't properly staffed and the pricing is too much for what you're getting. The woman at the till was clearly in training as she didn't know the product or what she was doing on the till but no one seemed to be taking the time to actually help her out. The line up was building behind me quickly and then someone more experience hopped on to show this woman where things were on the iPad and what she needed to do. I just asked what teas they had and the more experienced woman wanted this girl in training to take down all the teas from the shelf and let me smell them. Although that's nice to do when you've got the time and don't have a pile of people waiting. So as she starts taking them down off the shelf I let her know she doesn't need to do that and I'll just have an earl grey and a samosa. The samosa was nothing special, I've had a much better veggie samosa elsewhere (Indian oven) for much cheaper. For a plain earl grey tea and a samosa I paid $10. The tea cup was only filled halfway with water too, no milk to honey no nothing to make it a little more special than a plain black tea. I wouldn't go back here if I'm being honest as it left me feeling really underwhelmed. read more

Yup, I love this place. It's not huge (maybe it is but it's soooo busy) but you can sit inside or outside. Service is extremely excellent considering the amount of people that come and the turn around. From the person taking our order, to the one making it, and they one clearing the dishes, every single person was smiling and helpful. We ordered the Heart Beet smoothie (cold-pressed beet juice + raspberries + strawberries + pineapple), pakoras, and the GF The Fiesta wrap (frijoles de olla + daiya cheese + avocado + tomato + cabbage + chilies). Everything is super delicious and incredibly healthy. The location is perfect, a few blocks from the sea bus and Londsdale Quay. We ended up leaving super full and picking up deserts (vegan and GF) for our brew tour. I got the blueberry scone which was hot and moist AF. I can't believe its GF. Note: they do run out of food. We were there at 3 and the salad and wrap I wanted were sold out! So get there early! read more

This is my favourite local eatery for their organic, vegan, gluten free baked goods section. Specifically their Vegan, GF Cinnamon Buns - The BEST! My 8 year old, a very picky eater, actually loves their brownies from this section! I have taken regular peeps to this venue, who usually eat only take out of the fried food variety, and behold, they ate and were satisfied! I am happy to see that there are also dairy and full wheat options here for the rest of the population (and my family). Their tables are varied too, so that there is a choice of a long wooden table with a long wooden bench, as well as regular seats and tables. This was one evening taken up by a group of elderly people playing ukuleles and singing! One day, I took up this table with a bunch of boisterous 8 year old boys playing Pokemon Cards! A thumbs up for the food and seating! read more

Have been in here a couple times, and hadn't reviewed. Recently grabbed take out from here with a couple immunity boosting drinks and ramen bowl. I'll admit that vegan/vegetarian doesn't usually excite me, but it hit the spot and definitely something we will shortlist going forward! read more

Really don't get the hype with this place- it's not that the food is bad, but it's fine. It's nothing to write home about. Most importantly, they take SO LONG- I was just talking to a friend about this place and she stopped going here because they take so long. The procedures set in place for COVID are also not up to par- the arrows on the floor are for how to exit, and they don't enforce social distancing. I ordered two simple smoothies from here about 40 minutes ahead of time. When I got there, they still weren't made. I literally got them 30 minutes later. That's simply ridiculous. They're smoothies. I've worked in the restaurant industry for years- this is not how they should function. read more

We got the açai bowl, veggie pakora and veggie samosa All were good The dipping sauce for the pakora and samosa was amazing but when served both of them were cold on the inside But the flavour was good but kind of on the expensive side The açai bowl was good and looked great but the açai itself had little flavour It's was good but I've had better I love the atmosphere and decor of the place and with some adjustments this could be a great vegan place read more

Very healthy food and tasty. I love their açai bowl. Not done they way I'm used to eat but definitely a go when I'm home sick!

Tbh I went to take pictures on the swing. The decor is really nice and who doesn't like to sit on swings? There are many options for smoothies and it is very overpriced. I didn't try the food. It took quite some time for the smoothie to be made. Overall, I'd go back to take some nice pictures but wouldn't for the smoothies. read more

I gave this place so many chances. The decor is awesome, location is close to my place and I love that there are a lot of vegetarian options and funky sustainable-living products being sold within the shop. A lot of the baked gluten-free goods are really yummy too. These reasons are why I'm still giving this place 2 stars. However, after many, many visits hoping the food and drinks would improve, my experience there never gets much better... which is a bummer, because I really, really wanted to like this place. I almost always order an almond milk latte and either a baked item, or the Mumbai gluten free wrap. Sadly, my latte has been seriously burnt each time, and I hate making a scene by asking for things to be remade, so I just suffer through the burnt coffee. Almost every time I order a hot food item (usually the wrap) it takes forever to be made and then comes out to me cold. Still tastes good, but it would be much better if it were actually hot. Also, there aren't always prices listed and the board is really difficult to read. Not a deal breaker, but a pet peeve. If the service ever improves I will be more than happy to start going to Buddha-full again. read more

The food was good and the place itself is just so cute, everything is basically Instagram worthy there lol // pretty expensive, but portions are big I must say. Ordered an açaí bowl and it was ginormous I must say, didn't finish because the portion of açaí mix with toppings wasn't even. It seems like there's so much in the photo, but it was really a thin layer of toppings. Probably 4/5 of the bowl was the açaí mix and 1/5 was the toppings. read more

I saw this reviewed on the front page of Yelp on October 19th and book marked it since. I've actually had a ton of people recommend this place in the past few weeks. I was feeling a bit down for whatever reason and I needed a healthier pick me up. This place is super close to the Sea bus. It's literally less than a 5 minute walk. There are a lot of smoothie choices which was difficult considering what my body actually needed and what It wanted. Neither were in sync with each other. Regardless of what you choose it's all good for your body which is important. The average smoothie cost is anywhere between $8 - $10 which is market value with all the other shops around town. I can't remember the name of my smoothie but it was the one with chai spices and bananas. It's a combination I would've never thought of. It's very addicting. The guy serving me was super nice. read more

When our Christmas-break snowshoeing trek to Seymour was cut short by traffic (read: too many people to fit on the mountain), we went to Buddha-Full. What a little gem! I love the fun decor, welcoming atmosphere, and neat selection of vegan foodstuffs. I had a panini, which came (unannounced!) with a yummy side salad, along with a latte made with almond milk. Hooray! I try to avoid dairy, and I'm not a huge fan of soy milk - and I've never been to a cafe that does almond lattes! That alone garners an extra star! While we were there, a local brought in a batch of kale chips (raw, dehydrated morsels of goodness). Friendly, welcoming - what a treat! A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for (and honestly, I think Jugo Juice costs about the same, but this just seems realer in some way). Must go back! Who knew North Van had places like this? read more

Came here on a Monday night for dinner with my husband. This place is super cute and quirky. I had a wrap and it came with a large salad with 2 dressings on the side. It was delicious!! We also shared the avocado toast and the flavour was so different and so good! Very generous portions and inventive dishes! Would love to come back. All the girls working there were very sweet also. read more

Went to North Van yesterday to visit a friend, and we went to Buddha-Full for both breakfast and lunch! That's how good it is. They have so many vegan and gluten-free options, you can feel good about eating out and know you're getting something healthy and of good quality. We had one of their juices for breakfast, and they were so good. It reminded me of when my Omma used to make me fresh squeezed juices in the morning when I would visit her. I had the Come Clean, which I really enjoyed, but it was quite sour because of the grapefruit. So if you are looking for more sweet than sour, my friend got the Ganesha's Greens, and I had a sip and it was really good. For lunch, I had the vegan panini and I would definitely recommend it. The bread was so good, and they put some really yummy ingredients inside. The salad that came with it had this fabulous homemade dressing - it was a great healthy lunch. Then my friend and I split dessert: I had a chai latte with almond milk and we shared the vegan chocolate ganache. If you're looking for the best guilt-free dessert, you have to try it! You wouldn't even be able to tell it was vegan, it just takes like a delicious chocolate cake. And the chai latte was one of the best I've ever had, just the right level of sweet and a good amount of spice. The staff was also so nice!
