The Short Version:
This little shop in Wellington West sells cold pressed juices and other healthy snacks.
The Long Version:
Capital Cold Press opened up in Wellington West sometime in 2023. It looked interesting to me, but admittedly I find the cost of cold press juices in general too spendy for me.
Very recently, I noticed they started selling on the Too Good to Go app (it's an app that allows restaurants to sell leftover/day-old food at a discounted price). I do love this app for trying out new-to-me restaurants. They had a surprise bag listing for $7.99 so I figured it was a good time to give it a try.
The thing with the surprise bags is it's a surprise you don't know what you're going to get, lol. I was hoping to get some cold pressed juices, but alas I didn't. Instead what I received was a small fruit salad, a small banana chia bowl, a can of Cove probiotic soda and the fourth item I had my choice of a small soup, smoothie or protein balls and I opted for the soup. It was a cream of broccoli soup.
The cream of broccoli soup was tasty, albeit not all that aesthetically pleasing, lol. It was creamy and had a potent broccoli flavour. It retails for $9.99 for a small, which I find a bit high for my budget.
The fruit salad was unremarkable IMO. It had watermelon, apples, strawberries, grapes and blueberries.
I can't eat chia seeds, so my husband ate the chia bowl. He thought it was ok.
As for the Cove soda, I'm familiar with this brand and enjoy their drinks. It was my first time trying the "Cranmerry" flavour though. It's seasonal and it's essentially a cranberry ginger ale flavour.
Service was pleasant. The staff member was friendly and I liked that I had choices for the fourth item in my Too Good to Go surprise bag. This option is rare, and I'm sure not always the case, depending on availability.
I was happy to try this new-to-me shop. I'm not the target demographic, but I like that the neighbourhood has a variety of businesses. Not too many places to get cold pressed juices, smoothies or chia bowls in the area, so if this is your jam and your budget allows, Capital Cold Press has you covered.
The space is nice, feels very healthy, lol. It's takeout only.
Although the address is on Wellington Street West, the entrance is actually on Irving Ave.
Street parking only.
