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!

There were oats mixed in and it was topped with a variety of fruit like strawberries, bananas, and kiwi. The portion size was perfect. I frequent another smoothie bowl spot and while they are delicious too, the portions are massive and I'm often leaving them unfinished. As a treat, my friends and I split the Nutella waffle - I'll admit I am actually not a Nutella lover and in fact, I think that may have been the third time I've even had it! It was delicious and a nice treat to finish of a meal. FYI this is a wonderful plant-based spot. Everything here is gluten and dairy free, which I really appreciate.

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.

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.
