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...

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!

They make their coffee with Balzac beans and while I love Balzac's, I found the latte underwhelming and expensive. It was just not pulled properly. The smoothie was pretty good. It has a nice vibe and is small and cozy, suitable for a quick bite but I would say not for large groups to gather or for one to stay and study there. They also have a few baked goods like cookies but no sandwiches or hearty items when I went. Wished they had more to eat. Might visit again and try their frozen yogurt.

I tried a strawberry matcha cold tea...."not my cup of tea" ended up I threw it out. The space to sit in is very limited. Unfortunately we went when a group of school kids were gathered. We were there to sit, linger, sip our beverages, talk & catch up on emails etc. We had trouble hearing each other as the kids were very loud & animated. We tried their vegan soft serve yogurt, had excellent toppings with fresh fruit, ok but not great. Bottom line, great place if you are into vegan, different taste experiences but sorry, not for us.

Tips: - Gong Cha has daily specials…read more - The Line Friends merchandise is awesome. On Saturday, I had placed a takeout order at Swiss Chalet. I had fifteen minutes to kill before heading over to the restaurant to pick up my food. I decided to check out the stores across from this restaurant, as I haven't been here in ages. I found this Gong Cha between the Bell store and Tahini's. The food scene is much better here than it was a couple of years ago. I saw RUDY nearby, and a Mac and Wings plac, too! This plaza always has a lot of parking. I pulled into a spot and walked in. Two staffers were there. The male one greeted me immediately and was so friendly. I was looking at the daily specials. I wanted a fruit drink and the daily special was a milk one. I was looking at the drink menu and got completely sidetracked by the cute Line Friends keychains in front of me. I got the Binini (brown bear) keychain. Okay, back to the menu... I ordered a large peach green tea with coconut jelly. My usual is to get it with no sugar and less ice, which I did. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. Both the male and female staffers worked on my drink. I barely had time to take more photos when my drink was ready. I thanked both of them and headed out with my drink. After I had picked up my dinner at Swiss Chalet, I took the backroads home and had my drink. I had an issue with the straw. The pointy end of the straw wasn't sturdy enough. I actually crushed it trying to stab my drink's seal with it. I ended up using a sturdier bubble tea straw that I had in my car (I have reusable straws and cutlery in my car because I'm ridiculously prepared for emergency drink and food issues). Much better! I loved my drink. It was cold and delicious. The peach flavour was perfect. I could taste the green tea. The coconut jelly made this drink sweet and I love it. So good! It's nice to see Aurora with a bubble tea joint. I should visit Aurora more often. I will now after visiting this Gong Cha! (214)
