The Green Smoothie Bar

Love love love this place! I go here regularly on my lunch hour — usually to get the Green Rabbit Bowl which is a rice bowl with spinach, fresh veggies and a super addictive tahini ume sauce. The staff are also super friendly and accommodating. Yes it is a bit on the pricier side but organic food always is. Every month they feature different smoothie special and have daily food features. I also love how they are constantly creating new smoothie/​food/​desserts to try as its nice to shake things up.
My favourites are: Green Rabbit Bowl, West Indies Bowl, Mumbai Mango Smoothie and all of the macaroons!

Liked the place and some of their different smoothies I’d never heard of before. I had a mixed juice ordered and it was pretty good. They also have shelves with organic products.

I’m torn.
I really want to jump on the bandwagon and say that the smoothies here are out of this world, but I can’t.
Yes, this was refreshing after a day of hiking the falls of Hamilton. Yes, it was very healthy. Yes, service was amazingly friendly and cheerful. Yes, the atmosphere was relaxing and trendy.
No, the smoothies were not amazing. Don’t get me wrong, they were good, but they didn’t exactly taste like what they were supposed to taste like. I think they just need to reformulate the amounts of the ingredients that go into the smoothies.
All of their smoothies have a spinach and kale base. I ordered the Sobi-​Smoothie «Strawberries and Cream», which had strawberries, bananas, coconut milk, almonds, and cranberries. My cousin ordered the Mumbai Mango, which had mangoes, bananas, and coconut milk. Our other cousin ordered the Chocolate Cherry.
While I enjoyed tasting all the smoothies, I felt that they mostly tasted the same; the only smoothie where I could taste all the flavors was the Chocolate Cherry. The use of coconut milk in the other two smoothies was extremely heavy-​handed because that was the dominant flavor in both of them. You couldn’t even taste the bananas, which are usually a very strong flavor profile. It felt like we were mostly drinking the coconut milk smoothies with a hint of strawberries or a hint of mangoes, not the other way around.
That said, you definitely feel good about yourself when you eat here because you know exactly what you’re putting into your body. The GSB has a menu of foods, smoothies, and snacks that are all 100% organic and vegan; they are also an extremely green business (no pun intended) and compost all their waste — even their cups, straws, and food containers are compost friendly.
All in all, I’d check this place out again if I ever go back to Hamilton; I’d probably ask for less coconut milk though.

Really great smoothie for the price. So glad that ALL of their smoothies start with a spinach & kale base, cause I try to make my smoothies as green as I can. You can keep it super basic, or add on fancy things like protein powder, matcha, chia seeds, flax, spirullina, any of those awesome things (0.75 for one, $ 1.75 for 3!)
Staff was real friendly, patient. Didn’t bother to eat anywhere else in Hamilton once I found this place.

Healthy fresh juice and smoothie bar.

GSB brings a perfect blend of healthy and delicious to the smoothie world. It’s amazing how they manage to produce such a high quality product at reasonable and competitive price to other smoothie joints. I would recommend that everyone tries the kale chips.
