Krokodile Pear

I rarely if ever buy or drink juice. So when my sister suggested I do a juice cleanse I was not all that interested. However, I wanted to clean up my diet a bit to increase my energy and help with my fitness performance.
I did some research, drove around to several local places to buy samples, thought if I was going to drink juice for 3 days I better like the taste. I chose Krocodile Pear because I liked the juice best, the staff was so helpful and they let me sample everything there.
As a non believer in cleanses, I have to say that I would do this again. Half way into day 3 and I feel great! Never really got super hungry. But I would recommend staying on schedule.

After watching joe cross on netflix my husband and I got inspired to try to have healthy drinks here and there in our lifestyles. While in vancouver on a trip last year. My mom and I stopped in krokodile pear and we bought the Westwood drink. It was green and when we tried it it was amazing full of flavor not to strong and not to sweet for us. I can’t wait to go back and get another one on my next visit to Vancouver. I even saved the jar so I could remenber what one to re purchase

i really appreciate the information regarding reasoning for the changes here ^_​^ i am totally happy to support and consume uncertified produce, if it’s local and organic in everything but name. and… the juice tastes the same: delicious. i love picking up zimt and glow spot raw chocolates and probiotic almonds (tip: i learned from shar of the sadly-​closed i love health store not to eat more than 5 in a day! good call) and nud crackers. YUM!

In the preamble to Xmas we were not eating our best. We felt not great. My wife mentioned we might try a cleanse to feel better for the holidays.
I’ve always wondered what kind of a store could stay afloat in Yaletown serving juices? I mean the shop looked nice, but come on, juices?
My wife being the smart shopper she had already researched this store and she knew this is where we wanted to try out our first cleanse. The staff were great and recommended we go for the green run. When we had a question about the cleanse, the manager Nick sent us a reply post haste.
There are three kinds of cleanses: easy, moderate, and hard. They are named after kinds of ski slopes (green, blue, and black) Unsure of what to expect we went for a one day green course.
Krododile recommends you prep for your cleanse by not eating or drinking things with caffeine, gluten or dairy. We followed this advice and stayed clear of these things a day in advance of the cleanse.
The cleanse itself is wonderful. You take a bottle every two hours and drink lots of water so your never really feel super hungry. As the day progressed we actually felt better and better. By the time we woke up the next day we felt AMAZING!
We plan to do another one next week and do one once a month to recalibrate.
Krokodile Pear is a welcome neighbour in our hood. We plan to drop in whenever we need some cold pressed goodness and a nod to good health. The products are top notch and worth every penny. (Not cheap for sure but locally sourced and made. This is worth it)

PS we liked the cleanse so much our dinner tonight will be a Penticton and Capilano Krokodile so we can keep the goodness flowing until Xmas dinner.

Beautiful store with nice open space to sit and relax.
Great choice of flavours, something for everyone! friendly staff to help make the tough decision!
Also try the amazing chocolate macaroons and truffles! ;)

The plastic bottles and high price take two stars off but other than that, juice quality and taste and unquestionable, as is interior décor.

Totally disappointed to see they’ve opted to using plastic bottles.
Like the world doesn’t have enough one time use plastic items.
I used to go out of my way to get the jarred juice simply because from an environmental impact the reusable jar /​exchange program was a great way to teach people that we don’t have to participate in a «throw away» culture. And don’t be fooled… not everything you recycle gets recycled. By participating in a single use business model based on recycling, you actually hurt more responsible industries (what Krokodile used to be), paving the way for less environmentally friendly businesses.
Now you are just like every other juice place. No more reccos from me.

The Asian guy working at this location is super nice and friendly, and the juices are of superb quality, would say better than any other I tried around here which I have mentioned to the owner. However, another white girl working there has MAJOR attitude problems! I’ve seen her around 3 times and each time she acted like she didn’t want to be there and like she’s doing me a huge favor because I had to spend my money! I asked her if she had a bag and she said «I don’t have any bags» in the most condescending way! Am surprised how she even got a job as a salesperson. Oh and to add insult to the injury she was looking at her phone too.

The great part about Yaletown is if you are situated in this area, there is quite a few juice options for such a small area. Decided to try Krokodile Pear on my lunch break as it was a short walk away and it is a great alternative to my nooner lunch-​break glass of wine.
Went for the Anmore which is: Kale, Spinach, Parsley, Romaine, Cucumber, Celery, Pineapple, Cilantro, Jalapeño. It was tasty and oddly reminded me of phở broth as the cilantro, jalapeño and parsley flavors were quite strong. I definitely enjoyed this one and would purchase again.
Service is non-​existent. Walked in and said hello to the girl sitting behind the cash-​register and she did not even look up. Picked out my juice and went to pay and it seemed like I was interrupting whatever she may have been doing (labeling lids perhaps?) as she seemed extremely unhappy with my presence and the fact that I was looking to pay for my juice.
Good juice, might come back at some point but Peoples Juicery, Chasers and Living product Isle (smoothies, not juice though) are nearby and service is better.

This is another place that I walked by on the way to a coffee shop that the guy I am dating and I were heading to (Feb 18). He is not much into the raw food thing, therefore, I book marked this adventure for myself.
The cool thing is that they’re open before 7:30 am at the same time as Blenz. This is to their advantage ’cause they can be that coffee alternative (Blenz is next door).
The shop of course that early in the morning was empty, therefore, the lady who was working at the shop was able to give me her attention and give me some information.
The lady this morning was not the shop owner, however, she acted as though the establishment was her own and treated me with care, volunteered information on the juicing processing as well as helped me selected the cold press juice that was right for me. It is very rare to find people in retail who give a sh*t about their job and treat the business as their own. I should know as I used to do retail back in the day.
The juices for a jar range anywhere between $ 9 — $ 12 which on the surface seems very pricey, however, it is along the same price range as the Body Energy and some of the other cold press juices.
Apparently it is better to have your choice cold pressed than blended as blending shreds and destroys structure. I have a blender and if I blend my own sugar free drinks, I am still way ahead of the game. I think that both methods have it’s pros and cons, however, health wise I don’t see the scientific proof or difference in either or. I have had both and I feel extremely healthy.
I picked up on all veg juice with some E3 as I didn’t want anything with fruit juice. I didn’t want that early afternoon sugar crash.
The juice itself tasted decent.
Nothing is made to order. It is all bottled in fridges, therefore, it is a grab and go situation. There is a lot of space and a few coolers. They’re prepared to accommodate the large crowds. :)

Amazing juice. First time having cold pressed juice yesterday and was not disappointed with the hype. If it was about half the price I would have one of these everyday! So good I can’t rave about it enough. The gentlemen was super helpful and knowledgble and since it was our first time he took the time to recommend some great choices! Will be back for this healthy beverage.

I am addicted to fresh pressed juice despite the hefty price tag. On the way home from yaletown, I saw this cute store and even though, I was getting a delivery from the juicetruck, that evening I still wanted to try it. Really liked my juice a lot so now am going to alternate between the two places. I love the glass jars, all organic ingredients, and that they put algae some of their juices.

Amazing premade juices! Finally! And they have a great recycling program where if you bring back 10 jars you get a free juice! It’s a tad pricey at 9 – 13 $ a juice. However, considering they only use premium organic ingredients I don’t think it’s a big deal. My only complaint is that they have a tip function at the cash. Get rid of it. You haven’t served me anything if I’m going to a fridge in your store, picking up the juice and leaving. Other than that I highly recommend.
