orchard on long

update: i really want to love this place. i really do! i love what it stands for in terms of promoting health and plant based nutrition. but healthy need not taste like the earth.

on this occasion i ordered the willy wonka smoothie, since i was craving chocolate. once again, ingredients that have ‘earthy’ tones should be balanced with a little sweetness. agave nectar would’ve changed the whole flavour profile of this smoothie. i did not like this drink one bit. and after paying a tiny fortune for it; 3 sips later, i gifted it to a homeless person...


review 1: great little juice place onlongstreet, where juices are freshly made upon order. i stopped by to pick up a green juice (need to get those greens in) and it was so refreshing. i did however feel like it needed a fruit (like an apple) to give it some sweetness - given it's just a green veggie juice.

stopped here for a smoothie and bite to eat while strolling downlongstreet. this place is really worth a visit of you feel like something healthy and extremely tasty! my smoothie was delicious and packed with goodness. i had a salad sandwich on rye which was full of flavour. can't wait to go back.

got introduced to orchard by a friend and loved it ever since. judging by my reviews i'm not the healthiest person around but i like to keep up with my juices and smoothies between all the indulging i do.

orchard offers a wide variety of cold pressed juices, smoothies and yummy sandwiches/snacks. i'm a fan of the cold pressed juices as for me it's quick and easy which also means i don't have to bother about making lunch because my juice has everything in it already😉 i always get juices on the go so have never sat in and ordered but from what i hear it's great to sit in and enjoy this cute little spot in the heart oflongstreet.

one of the genuinely healthy places in cape town with multiple vegan options.

this tiny little gem of a place is difficult to find amongst the midst of shops inlongstreet, but with such a high rating, i had to visit.

now, i love my smoothies, kauai, nü and other's. unfortunately these places tend to have a healthy façade and you can get a rude awakening when you realise what's in your smoothies and food. orchard is not an imposter and from their yummy and nutritious cold-pressed juices to their vegan wraps, they truly are genuinely healthy options (of course everything in moderation).

my sandwich was tasty and was medium sized, definitely bigger than average, more than enough for the healthy people with small stomachs that come here. i had the cocoa luna which is amazingly light with a faint taste of peanut butter throughout (i prefer this to it being overpowering) and full of healthy ingredients. my partner thoroughly enjoyed her vegan wrap although personally i think it looked a little small.

i've marked orchard down on being too small and cramped inside (not only when sitting down but when ordering as well) and also being difficult to find, i think it's time they find a new premises.

this littlelongstreet spot offers delicious freshly made fruit juices, smoothies and other drinks for anyone wanting a healthy treat. the spot also serves a few small nibbles for those who need a small snack.

what a lovely place! perfect sunny day for a healthy smoothie! it's a small little hidden gem alonglongstreet and is filled with the freshest fruit and veg, all the colors just shout summer :)

these guys boast the widest selection of fresh juices, cold-pressed juices and superfood smoothies in africa… pretty impressive, considering their modest premises, which was a little tough for us to find. once we eventually got there, it was a true ‘urban oasis’ in the middle of a very vibrant, alive and sometimes painfully noisylongstreet (we can be such grannies). after a little confusion of where to place our order (blondie’s) we finally sat down for some well deserved vreeting! we didn’t hold back and pretty much tried everything on the menu, from smoothies (tropical summer), cold-pressed juices (beetroot buzz, all star green, almond milk) to choc nut balls, health shots, orchard vegan wraps and salads. we were seriously satisfied to say the least. orchard onlongis a pretty little bubble of fresh healthy goodness and one day (we hope) they just might open somewhere a little quieter (especially for our ‘business meetings’) with more available parking and a larger seating area. no pressure though! with that being said we absolutely loved this little spot for a quick meal and fresh juice to go.

fresh, fresh.
deliciousness.

a spot of calm along the chaos that islongstreet.

you've had alongnight and feel like a cleanse. a fresh start for a drag day. detox at orachard on long! the perfect morning after juice bar to remedy the sins of the night past! or, you really enjoy fresh fruit smoothies. this street-side cafe-style juicery is for you!

orchard onlongis a great spot for a quick work lunch. known for their smoothies and cold pressed juices, they also serve up some fresh salads and wraps. i always have the panda as it contains loads of leafy greens and avo so it's rich and creamy but super nutritious. the moringa is also incredible and a bit richer-i prefer it as a 'sweet' smoothie. also do yourself a favor and try the lemon powerball! delicious.

sneaking a little space opposite mama africa, orchard onlongdoes absolutely err'thing right. i'm in love and i'm struggling to find words for this love. the decor is simple, clean and fresh. for a few minutes i even considered building a little tent in the corner and making it my home.

ol specialises in the healthiest juices, smoothies and (few) foods. i couldn't decide what i wanted, so after about 9 years of thinking, i went for their berry smoothie known as the hullabaloo and a vegan wrap. my wrap had quinoa, hummus, carrots and a few other things. my lunch date went for the cocoa luna and a peanut butter and banana sandwich with 70% rye bread.

i don't have a single bad thing to say. the smoothies and food were purrfect! whoever started this heavenly place can be my new best friend, and i don't mind saying it first, i love you.

the guys working behind the counter are the coolest cats! they were super friendly and did their thang with a smile on their face while rocking their snazzy denim shirts (and aprons).

there isn't much more for me to say. they're amazing! oh, and they have a juice cleanse that i'd love to try sometime. so pleeease do yourself a favour and pop in, it will leave you feeling inspired and wanting more of their healthy treats and less sweeties from the woolies at the engen down the road.

i love orchard onlong! such a cute spot in longstreet ! so many incredible juices & smoothies to choose from ! i have done their 3 day juice cleanse & i felt really amazing afterwards !

orchard onlongis quite simply the bees knees. better than the bees knees, even.

you feel healthier just by walking through the door, and their juices and smoothies are incredible - and best of all actually good for you. a lot of health smoothies, should actually be called 'we're pretending to be the healthy choice here' smoothies, these ones are the real deal.

if you're looking for something a little more substantial, i am absolutely obsessed with the vegan crush salad, it's completely delicious! they also have a host of treats, from delicious date balls to vegan chocolate mousse - an absolute must try. they also offer juice cleanses - if that's your thing - which i haven't had the chance to try yet, but am definitely looking into!

this is one of those places you'll find any excuse to come back to.

the range of juices here is amazing! i've had some really awesome combinations that leave me feeling so refreshed in the middle of hot cape town summer. this spot is a welcome break from coffee to start off alongday the right way.

i had the recharge - it was delicious! tomatoes and bell peppers with oranges. "exuberance" is another great option! definitely the best onlongstreet, light food, lovely atmosphere and leaves you feeling great!
