Meet The Makers Mini Interview: Squish Juicery

Squish Juicery Mini Interview

Squish Juicery is our close Pomme Port Coquitlam neighbour, and is such a wonderful part of our Pomme Community. Fabulous humans Jessica and Callan launched Squish Juicery in 2018 and it’s been awesome to see them connect with other locals and delight not only the PoCo neighbourhood, but BC and beyond, with their delicious, incredibly healthy, and really inventive juice blends. We 100% believe in the healthy benefits of fresh produce so we’re extremely happy to have their juices in our aisles at both Pomme Port Coquitlam and Pomme Nanaimo—and our customers have definitely been thrilled to be able to find them there too! We’re also so pleased they were able to create some time in their super busy schedules to squeeze (ha!) in this Meet the Maker Mini Interview, so you can get to know them a little better. They’re yet another reason we’re so grateful to live and work on the West Coast of BC!

Owners Jessica + Callan truly believe that cold-pressed juicing can be for anyone, no matter where they are on their health journey.  From the hard-core juice connoisseur to the 2-year-old picky eater, they pride themselves on creating something for everyone. Providing clients with nutritious and delicious juices, smoothies, and smoothie bowls. 

Squish’s unique focus on health and wellness from an inclusive standpoint, not a restrictive one, has created a beautifully unique experience in the Tri-Cities community, which has made them a community favourite, and a destination spot with clients travelling in from as far as the Okanagan, Abbotsford and Hope. 

Squish Juicery first opened its doors in December of 2018, and quickly became a community favourite. Winners of the Tri-Cities A List for Best Smoothie/Juice Bar (2019, 2020 + 2021), Best Overall Service (2020 + 2021), and Best Curbside Pick Up (2021), Squish Juicery is bringing a new outlook on health and wellness to the community.

As a true believers in kindness first, and that one kind word can change someone’s entire day, they and their team pride themselves on providing exceptional customer service to anyone and everyone who walks through their doors or orders online no matter where you are on your health journey.

Out of all your products, which is your personal favourite and why?

Jessica’s absolute favourite juice is Daydreamin’ because she enjoys the delicious combination of oranges and apples, with the perfect hint of turmeric.  Not too spicy and not too sweet.  It also makes the perfect mimosa! 

Callan’s go to juice is The Intern because it’s his nephew’s favorite.  It was not only the first juice recipe developed, but it was designed to be a go to green juice for kids and all the non-green juice lovers out there!  It is now their most popular green juice. 

What motivates you on a day-to-day basis?

Our clients!  We literally have the best clients in the entire world.  We are fueled everyday by getting to interact with them, build relationships and help them along their health journey, no matter where they are at.  We are grateful for each and every one of you for loving Squish as much as we do. 

What’s your favourite thing about the town or city you live in?

 Squish Juicery is located in Port Coquitlam, BC just a few minutes away from Pomme, and we love how close we are to nature at our shop.  If you go around our building you are immediately in 2 parks which is a great place to enjoy your smoothie, smoothie bowl, or juice, while surrounded by the oldest, most beautiful trees.

We personally live in Port Moody, BC about 12 minutes from Squish, and love how we can step out our front door and be 5 minutes from the ocean with great trails, 5 minutes from great food and local breweries.  The TriCities truly is an amazing place to live and own a business. 

What are your personal top three tips for feeling awesome?

1. Drinking a Squish juice! This always gives us a great energy boost
2. Don’t be afraid to indulge! We believe in balance and having a “Balance” juice with your pizza is a great option 
3. Move that energy! I always feel better when I can get out and move, it helps with my anxiety levels and clears my mind.
