They have different sized cups, multiple flavors of frozen yogurt and a bunch of toppings. They have a few machines out, but they still had plenty of frozen yogurt options. I really enjoyed the cake batter and coconut flavors. The place looks a bit dated, it felt like walking into 2013 again. But for $16 for two frozen yogurts (and we got decent sized bowls), I found this place to be a good deal.

Dear reader, Rita's…read morenear Kingstowne is one of my favourite stops when a frozen treat is required, and I rarely need much convincing. My order of choice is the Blendini, which combines custard, Italian ice, and mix-ins into one glorious little cup of excess. Quite frankly, why choose one dessert when you can have several at once? The variety is part of the fun. They have loads of Italian ice and custard flavours to choose from, so there is always some new combination calling my name. The custard is wonderfully creamy, the ice is refreshing, and together they make a very convincing argument for frequent return visits. Everyone working here has always been nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even sweeter. It is an easy, casual neighbourhood stop that consistently delivers exactly what I want. A thoroughly delightful little treat and one I will continue visiting with absolutely no restraint.

I wanted to find out what the Cotton Candy and Peach Custard Icecream tasted like, but this isn't an option. Only the flavored ice has the option of sampling them. I decided to keep it simple and went with Vanilla Custard with Oreo Cookies and Caramel. The taste was wonderful and it certainly hit the spot. I don't remember the name of the manager at this store, but she certainly keeps this store clean. The ambience in the store have a nice welcoming feeling. The location of this store certainly attracts the attention of old and new clientele. Keep up the great work Ms. Manager or can I call you Calliope?

I know when I order from here, I'm getting my ZEN on. Every time I've had their PB Acai smoothie it…read morehas always been amazing, from the peanut drizzle that makes the cup look picture perfect, to the fresh flavor of the Acai. There's something about their peanut butter that's mildly addicting. I think it's homemade (need to verify this). The other day I decided to also try their "Zen rolls" since I saw this on the Uber Eats menu. Let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! When I took the first bite, at first I noticed how refreshing it tasted, and how delicious the chili sauce was. As I was eating it the veggies tasted fresh, especially the peppers and the strawberry combined with the chili sauce was so good in the most surprising way. Who knew rice paper rolls could be THIS healthy? Despite being tired that day I ended up with renowned energy after eating those rolls. Like it felt super nourishing. These were definitely the most tasty veggie rolls I've had in a while. The sauce is just divine. I love that they really package their stuff so carefully and the box has such a cute aesthetic. Everything truly feels like it's made with love, and their cups have little fake stickers on them to really give your drink a personal touch, something I don't see at other smoothie or juice bars. Everything just has this niche personal feeling to it. If you want a healthy lunch or drink, this is your spot. It definitely feels like you are getting real good nourishment here and I am all for it. I will be back soon for my ACAI fix! Or maybe I'll try their other smoothies like the blue one with spirulina in it. Such a gem!

The smoothie was creamy, fruity, and visually one of the most striking drinks I've had in a while. The mango and banana gave it a naturally sweet flavor, while the coconut yogurt added a rich texture. I could still pick up some of the blue spirulina underneath everything, which kept it from tasting one-dimensional. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. It felt like a place where you could slow down for a few minutes instead of grabbing something and rushing back out the door. One thing I like about this smoothie is that it's easy to customize. After having it before, I've found that ordering it with light banana and no agave makes it taste lighter and lets the mango come through more. That said, the standard version was still enjoyable and is probably the best starting point if you've never tried it before. I'd definitely come back and try other drinks on the menu.

Maybe they're trying something new to see if it should be on their menu?

Everything is all vegan and made with high-quality ingredients. You can taste the quality in their work. The owner really had put all of his heart,soul, passion and love into this place. All and all I can't wait to come back. I hope this café becomes a fixture. I really do want to sample everything on their menu. Karma points: Vegan. Purchases also help with water projects in Africa. Very cool. Notes: Non vegans, don't be shy. This place is tasty and will not disappoint. Parents: This place is family friendly. Good for parents who need a "pick me up" and cute kids deserving of treats.
