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!

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!
