Pointe-Claire

Review Summary

Jugo Juice at a mall location in the Fairview centre point Clair is described as a convenient spot for juice and simple smoothies, with many preferring strawberry and banana blends and finding the drinks refreshing, although pricing is high and portions may not feel like good value. The menu relies mainly on frozen fruits rather than fresh, and organic options are not consistently available at this price, but healthy drink choices are noted. Service is generally okay but can be slow during busy periods, and the mall atmosphere is typical. The staff are friendly and issues are resolved effectively, making this a go to place for a beverage of this type in the mall.View restaurant profile

Juice Bar & Smoothies Healthy Bubble Tea Sandwiches Vegetarian

Review Summary

At Jugo Juice, reviews point to language barriers and staff who did not know the recipe, making it hard to be understood in French. The preparation seemed slow, with all ingredients weighed including the ice, which lengthened the wait for the juice. Handling during busy times was described as challenging, with multiple customers at once likely to worsen delays. A glass was returned dripping with juice, and requests to clean it were only partially carried out. The juice was not very cold, attributed to not shaking with enough ice and to not putting the ice into the glass.View restaurant profile

Real Fruit Bubble Tea

Review Summary

Real Fruit Bubble Tea draws praise for fresh flavors and generous fruit toppings, with standouts like a strong strawberry and banana blend and an orange with carrots that was described as amazing and incredibly fresh, while a mango diamond smoothie with mango cubes and tapioca is also highlighted. The menu offers many varieties and fruit is often cut generously in view of customers, with avocado options and tapioca noted as positives. Service is described as friendly and efficient, the store is clean, and staff are bilingual, with prices seen as similar to other shops.

For some Montreal patrons the place is a standout favorite, while others note that experiences can vary.View restaurant profile
