Greenhouse Juice

Best place for juices and shots. Best combinations with great taste! Always offering samples to try!

Had some smoothies this morning (the ingredients are pre-​packaged for easily assembly — not something I was expecting to learn), and they were out of vegetables to add to the smoothies.
Of the fresh made smoothies, one had an overwhelming amount of ginger that overpowered all the other ingredients and was unpleasant to drink. Threw that one out.
The other, which was was almond milk/​cocoa/​datey was much better tasting but there was some hard sediment in it which you couldn’t bite through and had to spit out.
Overall, I wont be going back… but then again I’m not the kind of person who thinks it is wise to spend $ 69 per day on juice cleanses (actual retail price!). They do make really great accessories for Instagram pictures, though! Bön appetit !!

Finally stopped at this super quaint juice bar off of Yonge St on my jog this morning & I’m glad I did. Nice section of healthy juices are ready to go in awesome glass milk bottle I’m going to re-​used as my water bottle!

Nice juice station, provide good juice cleanse to detoxify ur body. They have many flavors to choose from.

Love their juice! Some of the best and their almond milk and brazil nut milk are two of the best nut milks in the city.

Super pricey but such a nice treat.
I really like the packaging of the bottles (each one has the name of the drink and associated benefits – such as liver cleansing). They are meant to be kept at home or returned to the store – and if you bring back 10, you get a free drink and free yoga class at one of their affiliated companies.
Don’t try the Rococoa smoothie unless you’re willing to shell out $ 12/​day (sometimes twice a day!) to feed your addiction. If you do end up trying it, ask them to substitute the almond milk with brazil nut milk! It tastes better, and is a thoughtful thing to do considering the drought in California, where 80% of the world’s almonds are grown. It takes 1.1 gallons of water just to grow one almond. Very Berry is too sweet for some, including me.

Highly recommend this juicery. At Greenhouse, you will be treated to delicious juice combos that also happen to be therapeutic. My favorite juices include Deep Roots, a beet-​based combo, and The Giver which blends a bunch of different greens. As a naturopathic doctor, I am always looking for the best resources to help my clients get healthy. Greenhouse is such a resource. They also offer home delivery for their cleanse programs.

My boss convinced me to do a 3 day «Green Cleanse» with her this week and we used Greenhouse Juice and their delivery program.
The cost boggled my mind (basically it costs $ 70 per person per day). This includes daily delivery and about 8 juices per person.
The Green Cleanse involves no sugar or sweetened juices, so nothing contained apple, etc, only veg.
It wasn’t quite as horrible as I thought, we received:
Clean Zing — Alkaline Water, lemon, liquid cayenne — basically a spicy lemony water to drink first thing in the morning.
«The Good» — a green juice containing celery, cucumber, kale and himalayan salt. This one was not bad, I’m not going to say it was delicious, but it was easy to sip and I could see myself enjoying one of these in the morning.
«The Giver» — another green juice containing celery, kale, rainbow chard, cucumber, ginger and some other stuff. We really struggled with this one. It was quite shuddery.
«Almond Milk Unsweetened» — This one was my personal favourite, probably the only one containing significant calories, could be used as a meal supplement. It contained sprouted ground almonds and coconut oil. I actually found it quite delicious but two of our cleansing group literally could not stomach it.
Chia Seed Hydrator — was a water mixed with chia seeds to be glugged down before bed. This one was ok.
There were also two little booster shots, one called E3 booster and one called Raw Aloe booster. These were sort of like shooting tequila, you definitely need a chaser.
Overall it was quite interesting and the company is very professional. The juices were delivered each morning packed in boxes with ice packs. If you’re rich and you want to try it, I say go for it!

I’ve been doing the juice cleanses, gentle and then standard, for 2 days now. I had 2 juices left over from the first cleanse, and 1 juice left over from the second day. I’ve done juice cleanses before — from total cleanse. This is my comparison:
I won’t go into too much detail about Total cleanse as this is a review page for Greenhouse.
Total cleanse is less expensive, however, the juices were not as «filling.» I found myself more light headed on their cleanse. In addition, they use plastic bottles and when I did their cleanse, they did not have a bottle return program.
I found the juices at Greenhouse to be more substantial and «filling.» I liked that they had a «best before» date stamp at the bottom of the bottles. The glass bottles were not only attractive to look at (admit it, we all ‘eat’, ahem, «juice» with our eyes), and they had a bottle return program. I liked how I didn’t have to «commit» to the cleanse — i.e. you can order online the night before and have it delivered the next day. I’m lucky enough to live very close to The Detox Market and was able to pick up the juices on the day of if I felt like I wanted to continue my cleanse. Which was exactly what I did. After my first day on the gentle cleanse, I woke up feeling pretty good, so I decided to give it one more go. I gave The Detox Market a call, let them know that i was going to pick up a cleanse that day, and when i arrived, it was waiting for me. Perfect. One caveat: The Detox Market only carries limited quantities of each — so I was lucky they had 1 500ml Almond Milk left for the cleanse (you can always substitute with brazil nut milk etc.). Because of the left over juices I had (like i said, the juices felt substantial so I didn’t end up finishing all of them) I decided to «craft» my own cleanse today. I picked up an additional 3 juices this morning at The Detox market. If you haven’t tried a juice cleanse, and CAN afford it, cause it IS quite pricey, I would recommend Greenhouse Juice Co.

Update: GH privately contacted me to inquire more information about what could be improved. Stellar customer service. Greenhouse makes a positive shopping experience. Spending money is a big deal for everyone these days, them going this extra distance really sets them apart.
The new Brazil mylk is literally the bomb. No matter if that phrase is over or not, it took the industry and obliterated it. Nothing else mylk matters. I want to be the face on their carton with the mylk mustache.

I absolutely love the juices here! Your paying quite a bit, but it’s worth it! And the prices are reasonable considering the healthy stuff that’s in the juices. The staff were ok, not overly friendly but welcoming and would answer my many questions, they weren’t pushy and some of them were knowledgeable on the product. I’m always happy with the juices i get the cold pressed apple juice, wake up, deep roots, and the reward program is great too when you return empty bottles you get a free juice

This place is cute, like a little house on a prairie except in the middle of the city. I would’ve given a better rating had the girl not given me my order in a takeout cup instead of a bottle (after paying $ 12 for it). Maybe she got confused that I would be enjoying it in store (all 500 mL?) because I was sitting down and waiting for my order. However, the staff was pretty friendly and welcoming and even gave us several samples since it was our first visit, which really helped otherwise we’d have no idea what ‘Deep Roots’ or ‘Pink Milk’ would taste like.
The juices tasted pretty fresh and their flavours are pretty unique; not something you would find at a grocery store, so if it’s your first visit, make sure to sample first or stay with the ‘safe’ flavours like apple. They have a board that displays all the prices, flavours and ingredients so you can get an idea of how it’ll taste like.
The Pink Milk and Rococa was pretty good, but be sure to finish the milks before the actual date on the bottom of the bottle — it does go bad immediately ON that date. My sister liked their Deep Roots but I actually found it to be slightly salty? Having said, I liked their Pink Milk, which kind of tasted like sweet milk with a hint of beet and maple syrup flavor. The Rococa was yummy with a lot of nutty flavor and could almost make for a breakfast/​protein shake. There’s some dates in it which gives it a slight bit of sourness, so it’s not all chocolately and nutty. The Choco-​Maca would be my alternative.
The shop on King St West is somewhat deceiving; it’s actually limited to whatever they have in stock that day only. So if you go in late that day and they have like 3 bottles left, that’s that. You’ll have to go to the one on Yonge if you want ‘fresh’ ones.
The only downside I would say for this place is the price. Yes, it’s ‘organic’ and yes you cant really find anything else out there like this place, but for the size they offer it is a bit pricey. Having said I’ll visit again but would be a once in a while kinda thing.

Update:
I had Emma reach out to me directly via Unilocal apologizing for the cold-​shouldered service I had received on a previous visit. Just like to say my most recent visit at the Briar Hill location was significantly better. The girl who was running the store at the time was pleasant, friendly and had the right amount of enthusiasm (knowledgeable but not pushy by any means). I will definitely be back as its only a few blocks from my work and I do love a good green juice on days I’m feeling sluggish (or need to reboot after a cheat day).
Happy to see the owners/​managers are making the effort to ensure the quality of their customer service is as high as their products. Can’t wait to see what new juices they have in store come summertime!

Tried their juices at Commerce Court West and love them. Placed an order for delivery last night at 11 pm and they delivered before 9 am to my house in Mississauga. That is epitome of efficiency. Any grocery gateway or larger grocer would say its past their deadline for next day delivery. I wish this company the very best and hope they add more types of juices to their selection.

This spot is where it’s at in TO. The quality of the ingredients in the juices couldn’t be any higher. The presentation is beautiful. The taste is perfect.
A very inspiring creation — keep it up!

I’m new to this Cold-​Pressed Juice concept so I asked A LOT of questions. The staff was able to answer everything and they let me try as many juices as I asked for. I ended up getting a large Almond Milk and it was outstanding. I tired to take my time finishing but I couldn’t.
Good things to put in your body are not cheap. A quality product needs quality resources.
If you’re in Yonge and Summerhill/​Rosedale area, check them out!!!

I work next door, and usually run over in my work apron during my break or before my shift. Trust me, as someone who despises winter, getting me to run over in my work t-​shirt when it’s snowing is no easy feat.
Yes, yes, it’s expensive. But if you want to take the time to go out and buy a cold juice press, then buy all the individual ingredients, AND take the time to juice it yourself, go right ahead. I’ll trade a trip to Starbucks for a $ 12 healthy juice ANY day.
Bonus points:
— Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly
— For the people who complain that they sell out easily: If you call in advance, they’re more than happy to put juice aside for you!
— They offer various cleansing plans

Unfortunately, there’s nowhere to sit here (until the picnic tables are ready outside) but the space is SO lovely and really represents their brand from the terraniums to the lighting in the shape of their logo. It’s bright and sunny. Love it! You may run into a famous face here or there as this seems to be where the Rosedale set is going for their health fix.
I DRANK
It’s all cold pressed juice so you’re getting twice the nutrients you might get at other juice bars and yes, it’s EXPENSIVE (the bottle deposit is included in the price) but worth it.
The Gold Rush — pineapple, cucumber, lemon, ginger. I am a fan of all of these ingredients. It was gulped!
Deep Roots — beet, carrot, apple, celery, lemon — again, a fan of all ingredients. Gulped again!
I felt so much better after drinking these. You can get samples of anything on the menu and I’m excited to see what the food menu is going to taste like.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
Happy to soak up the nutrients in this greenhouse any day.
Their menu is here:

To echo an earlier review — Yes, this place is expensive!
$ 8-​$ 11 for the smallest-​sized bottle is a hefty price to pay but I guess they are located in the right area for clientele than can afford it — regularly.
The advantage I’m giving right now is that they are very generous with the samples. I guess being a new store and wanting to drum up business, they want to create a positive customer experience so samples will help… especially when you aren’t sure where to spend your $ 10.
During my first visit, I sampled a shot of just about everything on the menu. The menu also states the ingredient list in each drink. From a nutrition or even allergy perspective, you know what you’re consuming. They drink also tells you how it can help you (i.e. energy, digestion, antioxidants, etc). From a DIY perspective, you can probably try to make it at home with your own juicer given that you know what to put in it.
What sets this place apart and may still get some DIY juicers into the store is the almond milk drinks which they make in-​house. I’m not too familiar with almond milk but I can see what nutritional benefits it can bring.
** TIP — They do have a bottle recycle program. Every time you finish your bottle, bring it back. They keep track of your returns. Once you return your 10^th bottle, your next 250ml bottle is free and you get a free yoga class at a nearby studio. For someone like me, the savings could add up… just might take me 10 weeks to get to that free bottle.

Just don’t think about the price. Just don’t think about the price and you’ll be fine. I stopped in here this morning because it is, literally, around the corner. The ginger shot was what O came for, having heard about this tiny shot of pure ginger juice. Wow. serious stuff. Almost medicine or a supplement rather than «food.» (I bought one to take home and will experiment with it in a cocktail, but that’s another story…). I also sampled «Rabbit Run,» «Gold Rush,» both spectacular — but as I said, DON’T THINK ABOUT THE PRICE. Very fresh, creative, delicious. Friendly staff too. But don’t think about the price. Yes, I will be back, but as a special treat every now and then.

Having Greenhouse Juice here reminds me of when I was in Los Angeles. I say this because there is an inherent juicing trend there — especially when it’s raw, organic, and vegan. They also serve up a pretty delicious and creamy almond milk in a «glass bottle.» YES!!! I first discovered Almond Milk LA, and wished they had something like this in Toronto. And it’s finally here!!!
They also have some amazing boosters and juices. My favorite is the chia seeds hydrator. Their ginger boost is one amazing dose of spiciness. Really hits the heart. Love it! I got there at 1pm, and they were sold out of some of their best sellers. Gotta visit earlier next time.
Being that it just opened, I am curious to see how they will develop. Whether if they will start to develop a detox package for those that want to buy more than just a bottle. I would be interested in something like a 5-​day cleanse or more. And also if they will have a delivery service.
Until then, I think Greenhouse Juice will be my weekly ritual for when I do my grocery shopping around the neighbourhood.
