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!

It's a fantastic place to grab something healthy to drink. Staff seem super happy to work there and the products are a great addition in my fridge.

We used the online service and that was super efficient and we literally just walked in grabbed the bag and left. So I do recommend that. Honestly not a bad experience.

I will warn that the actual store is really small so it is not really a good place to eat there but they do have seats if needed.

For this visit I went with a friend to try the milkshakes that they're known for. Needing a caffeine boost, I ordered the coffee crisp milkshake.

The milkshake itself was a tad on the sweeter side, but still a refreshing drink on a hot summer day :)

A bright and refreshing surprise during my day in Stratford last month. I had gotten a somewhat…read moremusty impression of the town on previous visits in 2014 and 16, and was therefore pleased to find this place that gave off more of a contemporary sensibility. Pulp was welcoming from the moment I entered, as the owner correctly deduced I was a "visitor from the South" and encouraged me to choose whatever I wanted. All entrees are made right there while you wait - an extra bonus! The buddha bowl was a tasteful combination of veggies with tofu on the side. It served me well heading back over to the Shakespeare festival and then continuing on a meandering drive later that day. I wouldn't hesitate to seek out Pulp again when I have a chance to return to Stratford again in the future.

I was also able to purchase a stainless steel straw to reuse again when I stop in! Stop in to check out the menu and at least take a look around this gorgeous place :)

I couldn't tell from the outside whether this was just a smoothie/juice bar or an actual place with food, but quickly looking in through the window, I noted that they had quite an extensive menu of healthy-sounding food. I decided to order a chicken sandwich and a smoothie. The chicken sandwich was topped with really fresh veggies (sprouts, tomatoes, avocado) and came on good quality bread. It didn't come with a side, but it was a pretty good size. I ordered a medium sized smoothie so that also did a good job of filling me up. The smoothie I ordered was a Gilligan's Island. Which was mango, orange, coconut water, and the herb ashwaganda. This smoothie was full of mango and it tasted great. I could imagine this cool, refreshing smoothie being especially great in warmer weather. They also have a create your own smoothie option. Service was warm and friendly and they answered all of our questions kindly. The only downside to this experience was a group of "mommies who lunch" coming in and disrupting the peaceful atmosphere with their squalling babies and rowdy toddlers. But, obviously, Euphoria, can't control the behaviour of babies and toddlers. I'm definitely coming back to try their various other options.

I got their Happy Hour Special which consisted of a Large Strawberry Banana Smoothie for $5.99 (the happy hour runs from 2pm-5pm). The smoothie is made with fresh strawberry, banana and yogurt.

This Freshii is in a small plaza with a limited number of parking spots. Folks need to look back before pulling out of a spot! As I was backing into one, a woman tried backing out, which could have hit my car! Luckily, nothing happened. There are a number of eateries here that cater to the university crowd. I walked in and had to wait before placing my order. There were three staff members working hard. I ordered a Zen bowl with tofu. It's essentially brown rice and a bunch of veggies in a green coconut curry sauce, sprinked with coconut flakes. I loved this bowl. It was light and flavourful. There was a lot of it. I actually saved half of it for dinner the following day. I'd come back here again, as it's fairly close to my hotel. Just take care when pulling in and out of the parking lot (246)
