I don’t come here often enough but i really should! Because not only are the smoothies and food on point, the staff always make you feel like you are right at home! Cami and Carly (with the best hair braids) made my day yesterday and I watched them hustle through what seemed like endless smoothie orders. And this morning as I came back to grab a coffee before my hike! I see them back at it again. These girls know how to hustle and still keep a smile on the whole time! Never lose the soul and spirit you both have!! Thanks again for making my day!

Good food but service is horrible. I much rather talk to a manager than leaving a review here but they seem super busy and honestly… I do think a change is needed! We ask for the food Togo and we told a girl at the counter that we will come back to grab our food. When we return our food was open faced on the counter, we asked them if this is our food and if so why? We were told they ran out of lids. I replied I wish this was relayed to us when we order, instead of leaving the food here out in the open, a blonde long hairs girl with a braid replied with a lot of attitude “well you’ve been gone for half hour” I said we told someone we would be back… the thing is, if I knew the food would be sitting in the counter face open for anyone to have direct contact I would not have left to do a quick grocery… when I asked for Togo I assume food will be in a container.Originally, they just told us they ran out of lids so I was supposed to walk away with two bowls in my car? It’s then I asked how am I supposed to drive with these… then they offered to wrap it for us. In today’s day and age, I truly appreciate quality food and I’ve always want to support businesses when I can but not at the cost of being treated poorly and the reason why I left to do a quick grocery is because I’ve always waited over 10 mins for ordering and getting 1 smoothie.I hope the business owners find this review helpful and understand the changes need to be done to create customer service’s experience. I do hope to visit the shop again, for healthy food and healthy mindsets.

I don’t know what happened…!Went to this place today to introduce a friend to the (usually) yummy superfood lattes and had an awful experience. I wonder if the employees were trained properly in making the drinks because I’ve never had something so off! My drink didn’t contain coffee yet there were two whole coffee beans amongst more clumps of unblended adaptogen powders in my drink. Also as far as I know, adaptogen should be blended in a blender at not at hot/boiling temperatures but the person making my drink used the steamer cup at the espresso machine for it. My friends drink also was chunky and should have been a smooth (albeit I know sometimes SLIGHTLY gritty) fluffy milky consistency. A pretty disappointing experience that has me scratching my head because this spot has been consistently good since I’ve been going - almost a decade!

Good food but the service is terrible.The people at the counter act like you’re an inconvenience.I called ahead to order, came in and paid at the counter. Then proceeded to wait for 25 minutes for 2 açai bowls that I called in advance for. Turns out the staff just don’t look to see what has been prepped and they don’t talk to each other. They leave you there just waiting until they scold you for not telling them what you’ve been waiting for.Unfortunate experience.

Love this place. So grateful that we have such a wonderful vegan restaurant in North Vancouver. It’s a really relaxing atmosphere, and the food always hits the spot. In particular, I would recommend trying the tiramisu bar regardless of whether or not you’re a vegan. It’s so soft and tasty! You can’t go wrong with any of their bowls or wraps either if you’d like a meal rather than a snack. The one downside is that it’s quite pricy, but considering it’s pretty niche and the ingredients are always fresh and good quality, it’s still worth getting once in a while.

Nice vegan restaurant! I tried their Karmic Juju Acai Bowl and liked it.There is free parking around, the interior of the restaurant is really nice.Vegetarian options: It's a vegan restaurant, so it works for vegetarians as well.Dietary restrictions: Vegan restaurant.Parking: Lots of parking. It wasn't very busy when I went at least. (~10am on a Saturday)

YOU HAVE TO COME HERE IF YOU CAN: it seems like a place in the middle of nowhere & it gives me this interesting road stop vibe. Seriously, this Buddha-Full will blow your mind. They have an incredible amount of space, hygge atmosphere AND gourmet medicinal warm drinks while still keeping them somehow cheaper than your traditional coffee shop lattes.
Grabbed the Coastal Vibes Bowl and the Buddha buzz smoothie and was pleasantly surprised. Normally I don't indulge in Buddha bowl type vegan places because they can be boring and not filling. However the bowl was huge and super tasty. Packed with rice , lentils, tofu and a bunch of vegetables, topped with awesome spicy sauce! The Buddha buzz was great too I'm normally not a smoothie person and prefer an afternoon coffee but this one hit the spot. Lots of seating inside and out. Love the dedication to being low waste. This location is more accessible than the one on first.

The soup was delicious, the avocado toast was good and the chai latte was disappointing. Very nice place and free wifi.

Husband and LOVE the food here! We've been vegetarian for 20+ years, and vegan for only about 1 year. The flavours and nutrition at Buddhafull are awesome. Last time we were there (August 7) the waitstaff was snooty, unhelpful, and the one was chewing gum as she was answering my "do you have cold tea" question: "Uh, I don't really like tea, there's a list of tea we have". Wow. she passed by us while we were eating, no nice smile nor a "how's your food". Not a friendly vibe at all.Vegetarian options: The food is great! The waitstaff was aloof at best

This place has an excellent atmosphere and the food is great and flavorful. I will give a 10 if they move forward to use regular cutlery and dishes and reduce packaging waste. ?

I purchased two high price cookies. However, the taste was awful. The pistachio had unusual taste and no pistachio at all. The other one, raisin was too dry and old. I really regret of my purchased. I don’t recommend their cookies.
