I really liked the Wild Rice Avocado Bowl. Portions were just right. Ingredients were fresh (kudos…read moreto Essence Natural for using fresh avocado and not the brown ones that you get from a lot of health bowls) and you don't feel bloated or anything after finishing it. I did order protein as an add on - I was thinking I would get tofu or tempeh as extra - but I did not get any in my order. If I did get the protein, this review would've been 5 stars. They should also specify what sort of "protein" on UberEats instead of leaving it up to interpretation. Prices were on the higher end - amount before tax and other fees was $16.50. I would consider ordering from here again. I saw photos of the mac and cheese on their IG page and it looked really good so I might order that next time.

A great choice for someone who doesn't get out much! The food was well priced, which allowed you to dine and share on many of their menu items. Our drinks were made to perfection. The wait staff was very attentive and ensured that our evenings' experience was always at its best. They were a well oiled machine that worked together for a purpose. We would definitely dine here again, since there are too many menu items that we did not get to enjoy. I'm so glad the universe brought us here. Joanne & Nilla

I'm so glad a place like this exists in Brampton! I've been…read moreobsessed with açai bowls lately and most good açai places like Heal and Oakberry are outside of Brampton. So I was so happy to find a delicious place just 10 mins away from me! I've been about 5 times now, so I can give a proper review. The first time I went I didn't realize there was an option to get a frozen bowl or a ready to eat bowl and I was given a frozen bowl. I was put off with how difficult it was to eat the açai but enjoyed the taste and toppings, I gave them a try again. That's when I was asked if I wanted a ready to eat bowl or frozen lol. Now it all made sense to me lol. So of course I got the ready to eat and it was so much better! The consistency of the açai was much better. I tend to modify some of the toppings that bowls come with but I love everything that the I am açai bowl comes with! I usually also add my own chia seeds. It's so filling and I'll get this for breakfast often and sometimes dinner and it keeps me full for hours! I tried the carrot muffin today and wow, I was so pleasantly surprised. It was DELICIOUS. A great tasting carrot muffin that did not make me feel like crap after lol. It was giving health, it was giving flavour. The staff are always so friendly, which I also appreciate. I really wish they had a loyalty program, since I come here so often lol. One where I can earn points or like a stamp card.

This was my first time visiting Oakberry and maybe the second time I've ever had an Açai bowl, so I…read morereally noticed the customer service and care from the staff. I had no idea what to order or how to build my bowl, but she took the time to explain the flavours and what's popular. I ended up doing a custom bowl and thought it was great. I will say, the açai is pricy, but I don't think it's much different than any other place in the city, I think there's a premium that is paid for Açai. Apparently they harvest and import it directly from the Amazon rainforest. Overall great, will definitely return.

I love their açai bowls! They are so fresh and delicious with great toppings and good texture. The chia seed pudding is delicious and I would definitely recommend adding to your bowl. I love making my own bowl filled with fruits and a touch of honey. Overall, great food, great service, and a really cute cafe! Can't wait to come back.

Overall rating 3.5/5 (rounded down on Yelp)…read more Needed caffeine and happened to stop by this cafe. This spot is known for their açai bowls, but given how cold it's been lately, I opted for a warm drink instead. Minimalist, bright interior design, with limited seating for customers to sit and chat. The owners seemed friendly as well. My rating is based more on the drinks, which while they tasted fine didn't stand out considering the price. The espresso roast & matcha used tasted fairly standard compared to other chain coffee shops. No latte art either -- not a dealbreaker, but I do look forward to it. Overall, I think if you're someone looking for a more well rounded cafe experience in terms of atmosphere, taste, & latte art, this might not be it. But if you're just looking for a neighbourhood coffee shop, you might enjoy stopping by.

You can order what they have on the menu or they have a bunch of different options to choose from for a custom bowl. They have a self order kiosk as well which I thought was great!

I think I would order another flavour if I go back. It is good though. The blueberry is very prominent in my opinion so if you don't like blueberry, refrain from ordering this. The bowl is huge mind you. I would recommend sharing or storing it away for leftovers. The service is great and very quick. More of an in and out type of place but they do have some seats if you wanted to stay. They played good music (I even asked them once what song was playing lol) and the vibe of the place is overall very zen and chill. They have these cute swings there too.

However, the topping were VERY skimpy!! the pictures show full slices of kiwi, plus like 7-8 slices of strawberries. in my large bowl I got 3 slices of kiwi cut into quarters, I received 4 very thin slices of strawberry which did not amount to even 1 full strawberry. My sister had a quarter of a banana, I think it was 4 thin slices, and she had 9 blueberries. Make your bowls look like your pictures! For $15 please give us more fruit!

Fantastic smoothie bowl place in Barrie! Exactly what I was hoping to find this morning…read more It was not very busy around 10am on a Monday, and there are a ton of options to choose from. Lots of base smoothie flavors and a very wide variety of fruity, dry, drizzled toppings. I ended up going for the acai bowl and chose coconut, blueberry, bee pollen, and banana as my toppings. She was very generous with the toppings, ensuring a perfect photo op! They also have frozen smoothies to take home so you just need to thaw them out. Taste wise, I think the toppings were really fresh, but the smoothie bowls are all pre made. It doesn't quite taste the same. I was hoping to see them blending orders as they came in for that fresh smoothie taste and delightful texture. Instead, it was already premade and frozen so it tasted a little watered down. Just slightly. And it was still icy. I just let it sit in the sun for a few minutes, and that worked perfectly. I love that they don't add sugar too. Definitely would return. If I lived in the area, I would get some more of the unique bases to take home. Definitely try the blue citrus one too! Beautiful look and tastes really refreshing!
