Buddha Full

Click to add a blog post for Buddha-Full on ZomatoI met up with my friend who is pretty health conscious, especially when it comes to food, so I thought this place would be the perfect place to grab a bite. I was curious about the place, but was happy to hear that she enjoys their smoothies. They serve organic and gluten free food/juices and opened in 2010. The place is a bit hidden, and can easily be missed – I walked by it (though on the other side of the road)

It was a hot summer day, and the cafe inside was sweltering hot and humid. After we picked up our orders, we took it outside onto the patio. There were several ants crawling on our chairs, and flying ants…
The heated samosa was really, really good. The size was quite generous and the softer shell than most other samosas I’ve had made it easier to eat. I would definitely come back for these.
The drink was rich. It had strawberries, pineapple, orange, beets with rose water. It seemed like all the goodness was juiced into one cup. Super dark colour that could easily dye, so watch out light-coloured clothes!
Service was satisfactory. The interior has a a couple of tables with seats and with a shop that included things like soap, jewellery, candles, etc.

The Juicery

Click to add a blog post for The Juicery Co on ZomatoA friend had a gift card for this place, so she invited me over to try out their juices. Although I’ve juiced myself before, it was the first time going to an actual juiced exclusive place.
The interior is very open and got quite a character. It has a bit of hipsterish feel, but an upscale version from the look that downtown or Main street has. It was clean, with a large wooden table to relax at and enjoy your juice.

They didn’t have a small bottle (250ml) $7, so we both took the large (500ml) $10. Better bargain anyways, and with the cap, you can take home the rest for later.

It was sour (with the given ingredients, not a surprise), with a small punch of spiciness that hits after a while from the cayenne. Very refreshing and great for the hot summer days.

The cold-pressed juice is unpasteurized 100% organic. I’m guessing there aren’t any preservatives so the best before date was in 2 days.

The bottle is nicely designed. Simple, organic and modern with a hint of sophistication. You get your $1 back when you return the glass bottle. Mine is still sitting on the kitchen counter…

Friendly staff and a variety of selections to choose from. Like most other ‘organic’ and ‘health-conscious’ eateries/juiceries, the prices to reflect the quality and effort into making these drinks/food. But one must think not only about the short-term benefits of eating healthily, but the long-term effects and rewards of doing so.
