Papaya Island

I’ve only been here once, since I was visiting Toronto. Man working the counter (maybe the owner??) was so nice and kind. He recommended a fantastic smoothie for my boyfriend and I to try too. They have a very unique blend of smoothies and juices here all for a reasonable price. They come in 4 different sizes, which I love! The man we spoke to was very kind and a great conversationalist. He gave us tips on the city and some ideas of things to check out. Will definitely come back on my next visit to Toronto.

I’d been by here so many times, and finally one day I really had a hankering for ice cream so I stopped in based on their «we have ice cream» sign. It’s not exactly slick from the outside, but I walked in and was greeted by a super friendly worker who immediately recommended the Health Nut smoothie to me. Even though I was after ice cream, this was apparently what everyone was getting, so I went with that. I think it has like half a dozen fruits (strawberry, peach, papaya, bunch of other things), vanilla frozen yogurt, and whey protein. I still don’t know what exactly they put in it but it is magical!
I noticed that they have a similar location that also serves roughly the same menu at Yonge and Wellesley, however here they actually blend it for you… the Yonge and Wellesley location has the health nut smoothie pre-​blended and sitting in rubbermaid pitchers with saran wrap on top which sketches me out. So yes, would definitely come back here anytime I’m in the area!

Delicious juice & smoothie place I tried out for the first time last weekend after a spin class. I had the Guava A Go Go– it was soo good. I probably could have drank a whole litre of that stuff. And they do sell them in half-​litre bottles too in case you were interested. Prices were fantastic especially compared to the arm and a leg other juice places charge nowadays. I did feel like it was a bit sweet and maybe not all the flavours in the smoothie were 100% natural (maybe part from concentrate?) I’m ok with that though.

Tasty juices at reasonable prices. My first trip they were out of many of the vegetables making a lot of the juices not available as listed on the menu. On my second visit my small juice order was forgotten (although there was only one other customer at the time… behind me in line) and took 12.5 minutes to make (I was timing it). I’m happy to give it one more try, so hopefully they’ll get things up to snuff.
