Healthy Monkey Cafe - White Rock

Ordered a peanut butter madness smoothie with rice protein. Turns out they don't use rice protein - it's Leanfit which is a pea/hemp/flax/rice/chia protein. Also ingredient list does not say that they use a yogurt in it as well - it's a green Dairyland "California Style Yogurt" carton. I asked the clerk about it and she said "yeah it's Vegetarian". OK but if i'm ordering something that is supposedly VEGAN yogurt doesn't fit in there. I'm only eating this way due to kidney issues - it's important that the product is as represented on the menu . I mentioned all of this to her and she seemed quite annoyed by my comments. Not returning. Lots of places I can go that I can get what I want the way I want without having to argue about it.

Ocean park location was the worst. Asked for gluten free option with wrap, was told "It's like gluten free." found me an old frozen wrap, barely warmed it up and gave it to me. Husband's meal lacked several listed ingredients. Was basically a bowl of quinoa. Don't waste your money!

I went to the cafe in Ocean Park in Surrey and ordered the chicken curry bowl with rice noodles for lunch. The good part was that I enjoyed the chicken with eggplant and mushrooms, and it was tasty. I really like having some veggies in with the curry rather than it being all meat. The bad part was that there wasn't much of it. The bowl was mostly all noodles and there was no curry sauce to mop up the noodles with. They were completely dry. I spent $10.50 for hardly any food (the curry part) and an extra .50 for a bowl of noodles! Definitely not good value for money, I won't go back which is too bad because the whole concept seemed to be really promising.

Tried two of their locations and not really impressed. Especially since it's all cooked in a microwave! At the newest location on hwy 10 I had breakfast burrito that came with cold potatoes that were utterly flavourless. They tasted awful! The meal itself was overpriced for basically a microwave meal. A group of us went to the king George area location and asked if their eggs were free range and the two staff didn't know . This is something they should know. The one young server after looking confused for a minute said " oh I'm sure they are." The other woman just looked at me and shrugged. Our group was not impressed. The bowels were also mainly rice or quinoa with little flavour or other ingredients. Not sure how they stay open with over priced microwaved food.

A friend told me about this place and normally I don't frequent healthy places but this was a very tasty place to go. Not terribly pricey.
