Spirulina propose un environnement lumineux et aéré défini par une lumière naturelle et une esthétique minimaliste accueillante. Le menu se concentre sur des options fraîches et saines, caractérisées par des tartines d'avocat crémeuses agrémentées d'assaisonnements vibrants et de salades croquantes sorties du jardin. Une vaste variété de boissons au matcha offre des saveurs terreuses et riches, préparées en mettant l'accent sur la couleur et la texture. Chaque plat repose sur des composants simples et de qualité qui équilibrent les notes salées avec des ingrédients végétaux sains. L'aménagement ouvert crée un espace paisible pour la concentration, permettant aux profils distincts du thé vert et des aliments denses en nutriments de rester le point d'intérêt principal. Cet établissement maintient une approche directe des assiettes nutritives et des préparations traditionnelles, favorisant des saveurs vives et une présentation épurée.
Spirulina est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour ses produits frais, sains et savoureux, notamment son matcha populaire, ses smoothies et sa sélection variée de tartines et de salades. De nombreux clients apprécient l'atmosphère lumineuse et accueillante, qui sert souvent d'espace confortable pour étudier ou se retrouver. Bien que la qualité des ingrédients et le menu savoureux soient régulièrement salués, un nombre important de visiteurs exprime sa frustration face aux prix élevés, aux portions réduites et à la lenteur du service. Des plaintes fréquentes soulignent des temps d'attente prolongés, des erreurs occasionnelles dans les commandes et un manque de communication claire durant les heures de pointe, ce qui peut nuancer une expérience par ailleurs agréable. Malgré ces défis opérationnels, l'établissement demeure un lieu privilégié pour beaucoup, bien que des améliorations dans l'efficacité et la cohérence du rapport qualité-prix permettraient d'aligner davantage le service sur la qualité des produits proposés.
I've usually loved Spirulina but this new location could definitely make its experience better. First of all, the wait was so long! Tell me why I am waiting for a smoothie for 25mins. Especially since they are in premade Ziploc bags…Like come on. Not to mention I paid 14$ for my smoothie. Also, when the employees call out your name, you can't hear anything, so people don't even come get their drinks; they just stand there & people accumulate in front of the counter for no reason. The employees looked overwhelmed, there were like 20 receipts on the counter & I honestly feel bad for them. The place is cute but the experience is horrible.
I've loved Spirulina Cafés for years & have always had great experiences at other locations, which is why this visit was so disappointing.
I placed a pickup order at 11:50, & only received it at 12:20, meaning I waited about 20 minutes past the pickup time. At one point, there was even confusion about my order being cancelled, which may have caused a small delay - but even taking that into account, the wait felt excessive for a simple smoothie & a salad that is usually pre-prepared. Knowing this cafe in its other locations, I know it is not normal. Because of this delay, I ended up missing an appointment.
What was especially frustrating is that customers who ordered at the counter after me were served almost immediately, while my prepaid pickup order seemed to be overlooked. For a café meant to be convenient & efficient for people grabbing something quickly, this really defeats the purpose of ordering ahead.
That said, I genuinely felt for the staff - they seemed very understaffed & overwhelmed, & it didn't look like they were set up to handle rushes properly. I want to highlight Creation, who was very kind, helpful, & professional despite the situation. Unfortunately, the experience at the cash felt less helpful overall, even considering how busy it was.
It's just unfortunate because this location is so well-situated & has the potential to be a great grab-&-go spot, but if service continues to be this slow, it becomes impractical to stop by.
I really hope this location improves its organization & pickup order process, because Spirulina has always been a go-to for me, & I'd love to see this location meet the same standard as the others.

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.
