The Top 10 Pressed Juice Bars In Toronto

Toronto is home to many ‘juice bars’ which focus on the production and distribution of nutrient-rich cold-pressed juices. The juice is squeezed through what is called an auger, without heat or pasteurization, which has been said to degrade nutrients. These juices, which are packed with tonnes of fresh fruits and veggies, have claimed to cure hangovers, help detoxify and purify, restore energy and clarity, and more, depending on their carefully calculated ingredients. Have a peek at our guide for the top 10 spots to get your juice fix in Toronto.
