I decided a couple weeks ago to try juice monkey for lunch. I stopped by this small location and had a quinoa bowl and a green smoothie. The green smoothie was really good. Definitely beats booster juice. Unfortunately the quinoa bowl was not very good. The kidney beans were off and there wasn’t much selection for fresh veg. Disappointing. I’ll probably stop at this location again for a green smoothie(mainly because I can get almond milk), but I won’t rush to go back.

Very good smoothies, genuinely fresh and not mass produced. They don’t skimp on the ingredients and you get a very legit portion. Froyo was amazing!

Love love love this little place. I bought a lunch combo which comes with a smoothie, a wrap and a side snack of your choice(chips, oat bars, pepperette, etc.) and it was delicious. I think the total came to approximately $ 10, which is great in comparison for 8 $ for greasy fast food. The staff was extremely friendly and when I said it was my first time, the gentleman did a great job at explaining the menu and making recommendations then he even threw in a bonus 10% off discount. The food is fresh and made right in front of you and there are tons of options. I even noticed that one of their posters say they serve breakfast which is awesome. Filling food, friendly staff, reasonable pricing and healthy options. Great place to grab lunch.

Smoothies are great — with the large you can get a scoop of protein powder, coconut, bran or other choices in there. They’re very good and you can mix and match what berries/fruits/veggies you want in your smoothie. There’s a combo you can get with a wrap and the wraps are quite good. Decent selection and you can get something you like. Chicken and tuna are solid choices. All-round very solid choice for lunch and terrific to cool down in a healthy way on a hot day.

Spent ten days in Ottawa for work travel and went to Juice Monkey for breakfast every single day. It is one of the few places where when they say all-natural fruit, they MEAN it. No sugary syrups, no fruit powder. You can customize your smoothies and they always come out delicious. The owners are also incredibly lovely people, which makes going there a real pleasure!

I come here for lunch all the time! Nice selection of smoothies/ingredient combinations with the option of getting a scoop of whey protein thrown in if you are into that sort of thing. They can also make the smoothies with almond milk for the lactose intolerant crowd. I usually get the smoothie + wrap lunch combo for $ 10 which is consistently good. Give it a shot if you work downtown — a lot of people from my office go here and I have yet to find a person who doesn’t like it.

The vita monkey is delicious(greens, mango, pineapple and banana). Ingredients are simple and tastes great without all the extras — just fruits and veggies. I like that there’s not an overwhelming number of choices. However they can customize if you have particular flavor combos in mind. It’s a good alternative to other juice bars, however they are only located in one location.
