In keeping up with reppin' some amazing businesses and business owners, this one is a favourite in Ottawa. If your not from here, but you plan on visiting check them out. The very trendy, very delicious smoothie bowls are to die for. We interviewed Raw Pulp+Grind because they are locally owned and operated and the decor is also on point. I love that every time I go in, they ask if I'd like to try a sample of their fresh pressed juice... who the heck doesn't want to try before they buy?! -----> This girl right here does!
Check out our interview below...
North + Nash Interview's
RAW [Pulp+Grind]
1. How long have you been open/established?
We opening in October 2016.
2. What Inspired the business?
We knew that there were lots of people in Ottawa, who, like us, were big fans of cold pressed juice and were all busy with work, family and wanted a store that not only had cold pressed juice but also had fresh, healthy on-the-go snacks and meals.
3. Who designed the interior? What was the inspiration behind it?
We designed it ourselves and you can see a little but of each one of us in each and every part. We knew that we wanted something fresh with a lot of white but that also incorporate a lot of natural materials and greenery. The barn board wall came from Wood Source in Manotick as did the live edge tables. The framed moss piece was created for us by Elizabeth from Tivoli/Flowers Talk. Niki is very artistic and painted the gorgeous mural in the back.
We wanted to create a space where we could interact and also educate our customers plus one that was also a comfortable place to meet friends or co-workers to just hang out. We are really excited for the spring when we open our deck for seating and even outdoor yoga and bootcamp classes.
4. What's your favourite item on the menu?
Melissa - I love our new Power Bowls - they are hearty and full of plant powered goodness that make the perfect lunch.
Niki - I love our Workout Warrior smoothie. I hadn't had one since we formulated the recipe in the summer, then tried it again a couple of weeks ago and now I'm obsessed!! It's the perfect post workout refuel. I had forgotten how good it is!
Jordan: I like our Power Tower Salads - they are high in protein and makes clean eating very simple and portable.
Richard - The ginger turmeric latte is amazing.
5. What's your favourite design feature/item?
Melissa - I love the wall that Niki painted. It really adds that 'pop' of fun to the space and really makes for it our own.
Jordan- I like the shinny white clean look of our bar with pops of colour. It is really refreshing and goes with the clean eating environment.
6. What is your top seller?
In the juice category - Green Apple Chia and our charcoal based Black Magic ones are definitely top sellers. In greens, Core Green is our #1 and in the citrus category, SOS wins hands down.
7. Hours of operation?
Our winter hours are Monday - Friday 8 am - 4 pm, Saturday 9 am - 4 pm and Sunday 10 am - 4 pm. Summer we will open earlier and close later.
