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!

The bowls looked rad (definitely coming back for one) but since I already had lunch I grabbed two shakes for myself and my partner. The Creamy Cashew was amazing, and the Blue Magic was liked by my partner. The service was prompt despite the busy hour. There is not much seating so it is definitely more of a grab and go kind of place. Definitely worth another visit!

Oakberry is the epitome of açai. Currently in my Açai era…read moreand have tried açai bowls from 4 different places around the GTA. NONE of them compare to Oakberry. Oakberry is pure açai, while most other places blend their açai with other fruits and a non-dairy milk. I tell all my friends that their first experience with açai has to be with Oakberry and then they can try the rest lol. There are 3 different sizes here and I usually go with "medium", which is called "The Works". All the bowls are customizable with unlimited toppings which is amazing. I always get, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, peanut butter (a must!), chia pudding and granola. I'm not gonna lie, it's pricy. But a bowl will keep me full for 2-3 hours, so it is a complete meal for me. The one other downside is that it's not an actual "bowl". It's a cup lol. Which makes it hard to eat all the toppings at once. However, it's not that serious and it's still delicious lol. A visit to Oakville (which funny enough "Oakville" is what they call their factory in Brazil) is not complete without a visit to Oakberry! Also there's usually only one person working at a time, sometimes in can take awhile to get your order, so please be patient with them. They cut up all the fruits on the spot, so it takes some time.
