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!

Note: They are seasonal so check their Facebook page to see if they are open.

Delicious fruit slushes!

I asked for my drink to be "less sweet". Their mango diamond slush even has chunks of fresh mango at the bottom--so good. Their pearls are chewy and sweet, just the way I like 'em. I can't really speak to their other drinks. I know they have teas and smoothies, but I would definitely come here for their fruit slushes, and I would definitely ask for pearls!

Inside, one may order food and buy some knick knacks that are bohemian chic. There is also a clean washroom for one to use. I ordered a super bowl which was $17. The size was great, but I felt it lack some flavour and half the bowl was filled with quinoa. Not a big fan of it, I would have liked less quinoa. My partner had a veggie burger and he liked it. There was a spice kick to it. He wished it came with a side instead of paying additional for it. The following morning we returned to try their açai bowl for breakfast and it was delicious!! Frozen blueberries were provided instead of fresh berries. They could have used seasonal fruits. The crisp coconut pieces added a crunch to each bite. This dish, I would order again. They have a reward system if you sign up. Overall, a nice healthy place to stop by while one is up North enjoying some sports or a little get-away.

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.

The Berry Bowl was a meal and a deal at $12, given the size. This is one of the places that is going to help revitalize Sauble - as someone who has owned a second home here for my whole life, I was sad to see Baker Bob's go from this spot years ago, but just as happy to discover this new go to. If you are here for a week or a weekend, I'd suggest this to round out your Sauble eats experience!
