It's bright, airy, and modern. We ordered 3 dishes to share: cauliflower wings, broccoli Mac n cheese, and the seitan chick'n sandwich. We also got 2 kombuchas and with tax and tip, the order came to $60. The food was yummy. I can't say it's the best vegan place I have ever been to, but it's definitely quite tasty. My favourite was the cauliflower wings followed by the seitan chick'n sandwich. I'm not crazy about nutritional yeast, so I didn't love the Mac n cheese. Overall, the menu has many options to choose from, which is a big plus in my opinion. Would recommend to both vegan and non-vegan eaters to try :)

3.5 Stars I'm torn…read more I really want to jump on the bandwagon and say that the smoothies here are out of this world, but I can't. Yes, this was refreshing after a day of hiking the falls of Hamilton. Yes, it was very healthy. Yes, service was amazingly friendly and cheerful. Yes, the atmosphere was relaxing and trendy. No, the smoothies were not amazing. Don't get me wrong, they were good, but they didn't exactly taste like what they were supposed to taste like. I think they just need to reformulate the amounts of the ingredients that go into the smoothies. All of their smoothies have a spinach and kale base. I ordered the Sobi-Smoothie "Strawberries and Cream", which had strawberries, bananas, coconut milk, almonds, and cranberries. My cousin ordered the Mumbai Mango, which had mangoes, bananas, and coconut milk. Our other cousin ordered the Chocolate Cherry. While I enjoyed tasting all the smoothies, I felt that they mostly tasted the same; the only smoothie where I could taste all the flavors was the Chocolate Cherry. The use of coconut milk in the other two smoothies was extremely heavy-handed because that was the dominant flavor in both of them. You couldn't even taste the bananas, which are usually a very strong flavor profile. It felt like we were mostly drinking the coconut milk smoothies with a hint of strawberries or a hint of mangoes, not the other way around. That said, you definitely feel good about yourself when you eat here because you know exactly what you're putting into your body. The GSB has a menu of foods, smoothies, and snacks that are all 100% organic and vegan; they are also an extremely green business (no pun intended) and compost all their waste -- even their cups, straws, and food containers are compost friendly. All in all, I'd check this place out again if I ever go back to Hamilton; I'd probably ask for less coconut milk though.

It was really quiet, the employee didn't say anything to me at all not even hello which I thought that was rude. My pomegranate plunge smoothie was sitting on a pick up shelf in the back of the restaurant/store. So I just took it and left. It was pretty clean inside, a nice looking little place. One of these days I'll go in there and sit and have my smoothie and maybe get something to eat. It cost $9 for one large Smoothie. That is a lot of money. It's not like it's huge. It's just not even a normal size large cup for pop. Anyways, the smoothie was very good. So far now I've had two from them and I've enjoyed them both. I prefer the location on Delaware by Linden.

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!

Filled with plenty of fresh greens, quinoa, tomatoes and lots of chicken. Shaved Parmesan cheese and walnuts made a delicious complement to the other ingredients and the pesto vinaigrette was the perfect dressing! My wife loved her apple salad with shredded kale, wild rice, apple, dried cranberry, toasted almonds and plenty of roasted chicken. She substituted mozzarella cheese for the goat cheese that is normally in the salad for a slight up charge. The salad is finished off with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The orange dreamsicle smoothie was also excellent. Made with banana, orange, vanilla and almond milk... a tasty sweet treat to enjoy with my salad. The service was excellent as well. The friendly and knowledgeable staff helped me decide on which Smoothie to order as I was mulling over the Raspberry, Strawberry and Orange Dreamsicle. We both liked how we received a choice regarding the amount of dressing we wanted for our salad. Light, medium, heavy or on the side. Being a dressing lover I opted for heavy dressing, while my wife asked for hers somewhere between light and medium. She probably should have just gone with medium as it seemed not quite enough for her taste. Homegrown is set up where you order at the counter and can watch as the staff creates your salad or bowl. There was plenty of seating to handle the lunch crowd which grew as we dined at our table. I would definitely recommend Homegrown for your next outing for a quick, healthy and delicious lunch or dinner. We will definitely be back!

She went with the Buffalo tofu salad, and I ordered No Big Dill (falafel, Kalamata olives, feta, dill dressing) - I'm in a hardcore dill phase right now. My favorite part about Homegrown is how everything is chopped up and tossed together so perfectly, with the dressing lightly coating every bite. Honestly, how nice would it be to have someone make a salad like this for me regularly?! The only drawback is the price. My bowl was ~$20, which felt a little steep for a salad. That said, it was fresh, filling, and really well prepared.
