Spirulina is praised for tasty, fresh and healthy offerings, from smoothies and matcha to salads, avocado toast and a muffin, with items like the strawberry peanut butter smoothie, banana bread matcha and the salmon toast highlighted for flavor and texture; the menu is noted for variety and for options that suit different diets, including vegetarian and gluten free, and many describe the atmosphere as bright and conducive to studying or relaxing. However, experiences are mixed: some visits report long waits, peak hour crowds and pickup delays, others describe smoothies or bowls that seem pre made or thawed too long, and prices are sometimes considered high for portions or student budgets. Sustainability and packaging are raised as concerns by some reviewers, with limited recycling mentioned, even as the space is often described as clean and welcoming. The newer locations are seen as an upgrade in space and seating, and despite occasional service hiccups Spirulina remains a go-to for healthy lunches and drinks, with many items consistently called delicious and well prepared.
Spirulina has been our go-to for healthy lunch or smoothies for 2 years but this new Sherbrooke location is amazing! Lots of seating, light, airy ambiance & the menu we love. There are also lots of new items for sale here too in the expanded space. Whether you need a snack, coffee, matcha, smoothie or a proper lunch, Spirulina is an excellent choice.
Le café Spirulina a été une très belle découverte ! Les plats sont vraiment délicieux, préparés avec des ingrédients frais & de qualité. On sent qu'il y a un vrai souci du détail & un goût pour les bonnes choses. L'ambiance est conviviale, le personnel est accueillant & l'on s'y sent immédiatement à l'aise. Une adresse à ne pas manquer : je recommande sans hésiter !
J'ai essayé le matcha pain au banane avec lait d'avoine, vraiment bon & crémeux avec la banane, bonne balance de saveur ! Je trouve juste un peu cher pour la portion mais vaut le coup d'essayer. Le matcha à la fraise aussi est excellent, combo classique dur a raté si jamais la banane donne des doutes.
