My daughter and I both love stopping by this beautiful Chatime location. It is bright, airy with a…read morefair amount of seating, a diversity of tea and bubble tea flavors, and pretty, temping desserts. We frequently order the delicious brown sugar bubble tea with crema (I always choose oat milk). You can use the e-order board to customize your tea by choosing levels of sweetness, types of milk and other options. Chatime often offers seasonal special drinks. Presently, they are serving an absolutely delicious pumpkin spice latte. I usually get it chilled, but today it was a cold day, so I got a hot one with crema. So tasty!! The warm spices really shone through without being overwhelming. We also love the macarons: expensive, but worth it! Parking is plentiful, service is friendly and efficient, and the offerings various and refreshing. What is there not to like??

My friend and I stumbled across this place after dinner nearby. Although I live in the area and…read moredrive past here often, I had no idea when they opened. Although it was a cold night, we just had to try their offerings. Our order was placed online through my friend's mobile phone and was ready within minutes. We even got to choose our level of sweetness and our drinks turned out perfect! This place is obviously new, with a sleek modern design that kinda refreshes this aging plaza. Seating is set up for casual conversations. Overall, it's a refreshing addition to the neighbourhood.

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.

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!
