Cute pop up shop serving smoothie bowls, "rare" candies/drinks, and other sweet breakfast treats. Everything is vegetarian and they have vegan options available. Inside are instagram photo booths with lights as well as a small amount of seating. Parking is limited. The smoothie bowl itself was very good, I just got one of their premade ones and added stuff based on the staff members suggestions. It was very hard to hear the staff member because of the ambient noise in the restaurant, so I unfortunately had to ask him to repeat himself frequently.

A treasure! Such a welcome addition to the Ottawa scene. As a foodie, I get so excited seeing innovative and fun ideas come to our city. The food is absolutely delicious and there’s honestly a little something for everyone of all ages. They often offer new menu items, and even their original bowls are all customizable, so I can get something new every time I go!! Gotta love this place

Great service! The place is super clean and fun with arcade games on the table and photo spots. I really appreciate the workers who put their effort into making all our smoothie bowls look beautiful! There's lots of interesting items on the menu too and the prices are fair. You can fill your smoothie bowl with as many toppings as your like!

Post-gym cravings led us all the way from Gatineau to check this place out—and wow, it did not disappoint. By far my favourite smoothie spot! The smoothie bowl was next level, and the unlimited toppings are such a game-changer. The ordering process was a bit overwhelming at first just because there were so many delicious options, but the staff was super helpful and made the whole experience smooth and fun. 10/10 overall. Just wish there were more locations so I could go all the time!

Smoothie bowls! 9.97 for a custom bowl. Choose your fruit base (can mix different fruits) and unlimited toppings! The have fruit, nuts, chocolate, and even those jellies in bubble tea! Oh and popping boba too. I got this piece of white chocolate (with orange food colouring) that was shaped like a fish tail. They also put this bonus butterfly wafer in the whipped cream. My bowl was so pretty and so tasty. Staff were super nice, friendly and patient. I love this place. Definitely recommend!

Healthy, Colorful & Delicious smoothie bowls. These are bowls half filled with a veg or fruit smoothie of your choice which is then topped with tons of toppings from various fruits, berries, veg, chicpeas, nuts, coconut, oats...what not!!! And then, you can top it off with whipped cream, caramel & many other options. We tried the "Fire" smoothie and topped it with almost everything. Loved it so much that we came back again and tried Royalty & Hungover and loved them even more. The vibe inside the store is cool & the staff is really nice. It really takes some doing for preparing a bowl as you can really go crazy with the toppings. But the staff is really patient with any customizations. Waiting for them to open a branch in Toronto.
