The Cold Pressery — Restaurant in Mississauga

3.5 stars ... smoothies and drinks are the best here. Food are more snacks than a meal ... they're ok.

Finding great spots in Mississauga for the healthy and tasty is not easy. I always had Cold Pressery on my list to try and seeing the number 4 stars is promising. Though it is a short walk away from Square One, this location is actually quite hidden. It's tucked away in a commercial residence with no direct access to Hurontario. You would know it was there unless you were actively trying to find it.

Parking here was fairly easy and quite large since it's for a few commercial buildings. The spot itself is nicely decorated with a large drawing of the key Mississauga landmarks. There is a number of tables available and during the Friday lunch, it didn't get crazy busy but most tables had a person sitting in it. It looked like half the line was doing take out more than eating in.

Their menu is on the wall with most of it being drinks. There are a few food options but it's quite limited to toasts, tacos, and açai bowl. Drink pricing is fair considering how much the norm and food prices reflect that they're more snack sized. There's so customization here like some other spots but that keeps things fairly streamlined and quick to order.

Service here is fast... huge plus especially if you're just looking to grab and go. I think the service is attentive and moves through the line quickly. I think the worst wait I saw was maybe 5 minutes. The food comes just as quickly since it's not very complicated. Tacos came out less than the time to order after I paid and it's delivered to your table.

Portabello Tacos - At an affordable $6.50, you get 2 snack sized tacos. Just a warning, if you ask for corn tortilla, it does survive the sauce better and doesnt disintegrate before your eyes. BUT it is an absolute mess to eat as it's about 30% smaller so the shredded purple cabbage falls everywhere with the cashew sauce. I would say this was quite mild overall in flavour... Sure you had texture of the soft portabello, light crunch from the cabbage, and creamy from the sauce ... but nothing tasted strongly of anything. I doused it with tobasco to give it a needed flavour boost. 3/5

Chipotle Bean Tacos - This was similar to the portabello tacos except it was so hard to eat. The sauce was soaked up immediately by the flour tacos and just fell apart. This isnt a good thing within minutes of being served. As for flavour, it's quite light... nothing exciting or good to make us order this again.

Tropical Green Smoothie - One of the better smoothies coming out of Mississauga. This was well blended and moderately sweet. Though it's green from the kale and spinach, it doesnt feel like a pureed salad... rather the sweetness from the pineapple and mangoes. Pineapples were the strongest flavour. It was a very refreshing drink for a super hot day. 4/5

5 & 10 Smoothie - Definitely better than the previous attempt we had for a coffee, cocoa, and date smoothie. This one was smooth and not too sweet. It had a stronger bitter coffee note that stayed in all the sips. The dates and banana wasn't prominent... just offering a mild sweetness. Definitely a creamy smoothie but I liked the Tropical Green a lot more. 3.5/5

Definitely a good option to grab some nice smoothies that aren't filled with added sugars or syrups. I think I'll come back to try other fruit and vegetable based smoothies to see which ones I like. With the super quick service, I think dashing in and out to feed my thirst...

Giving this place a 1 star for their customer service. Me and my friend come here all the time and get the same smoothie every single time. My friend and I ordered pickup on uber eats. He got the chocomaca and I got the 5&10 smoothie. In his order notes on the app he added “extra agave” but noticed that while the girl was making the smoothie she did not put any. He also noted that the girl making the drinks did not look familiar, perhaps she is new. He got handed the smoothie and when he expressed that it doesn’t taste how he likes it, they took back the smoothie, and just dashed some agave on the top. They didn’t even bother to re-blend it or remake it for him. He had to basically mix the smoothie himself which caused it to be sweet in some parts and bitter in others. My smoothie did not taste anything like how it always does, it was bitter, watery and was a complete waste of $8. We had already drove away at this point, and when we decided to call and complain the store had closed. So we called the next day, and the girl on the phone basically said “we haven’t changed any of the recipes for the drinks, I’m not saying you’re lying, but all the recipes are the same” I explained that while the recipes were the same, we get them ALL THE TIME and that day was awful. She continued to say “I don’t really know what to do” even though the solution is quite obvious. All I wanted was to be told “sorry about that, come back and we can remake your smoothies for you”. The girl took my number and said she’ll pass it on to the owner, so that the owner can try to fix the problem. It’s been a week and I haven’t heard anything. This is actually unacceptable, and for a place that charges a fair price point, I expected a better Customer experience. Extremely...

It was thanksgiving Monday, so was pretty surprised to hear that this place was open. After seeing many ads about this place I finally decided to give it a shot. I went with my mum, since she's a vegetarian, so would be a good place for her with many choices. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, although a few people did come in to pick up some of their healthy juices to go. The menu was simple with not too many items. My mum chose to order the tlt sandwich and I went for the jalapeño bean taco. The food arrived within 10 minutes. From the first bite, my mum and I were speechless. We were simply in awe to the taste of our food. The thought of vegan food being so delicious simply baffles me. The tacos were so flavorful and the jalapeño sauce made it extremely juicy and fresh tasting. My mum is a very fussy eater but even she was in love with her sandwich, whereby once we got home she immediately tried looking up recipes so as to find a way to make it. I'll be visiting often and would love to try everything on the menu. Amazing place for sure. This place goes to show that quality is definitely better...
