    My favorite lunch spot. Big and delicious smoothies that don’t use junky additives like ice cream. The sandwiches and salads are also excellent.

    They have been open for 2 days at this location and we have been there on both days! High quality smoothies and more importantly, a very nice and attentive staff. You will go for a delicious smoothie and tasty food, but it's the friendly staff that will make you come back. I plan on working my way through the entire menu!

    First timer here and think I’ll be a repeat customer. Wish I had gotten the ladies name who made my smoothie. She was really nice and gave me info on quite a few varieties that I’ll be trying in the future. Food was good, and smoothie was great! Staff friendly and inside and out was very clean. Definitely would recommend!

    I don’t often write reviews, but here I feel obligated to. The café was delicious and the atmosphere lovely. As an coffee aficionado I can wholeheartedly recommend this cafe.

  • 5/5 Summer G. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is great and fresh! The smoothies are to die for. When I entered Jonah immediately greeted me. He was super friendly. He also offered to help take my drinks to the car. The other workers didn’t talk. Not even the one who actually took my order. They need to be like Jonah!!

  • 4/5 Big S. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was great. Food was pretty good but the sides were questionable. Smoothie was decent. Manager was great and incredibly helpful when I had a problem.

  • 1/5 Christian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Can't recommend, thought it would be fresher and healthier. Smoothie tasted like it was made from rotten fruit and it's not exactly healthy at all with the added sugar. Would have a better time with a grocery store smoothie.

  • 1/5 Des 2 years ago on Google
    They taste good but for instance, I got the chia banana boost I got for example, there’s literally a half a cup of the turbinato sugar in there. 1/2 A CUP. 235 calories just from sugar alone. That’s so gross. It’s marketed as a healthy place but makes drinks like that. I got my son the lil lime berry smoothie, it has 63g of sugar. In that little kids cup. Literally just as much as the regular sized smoothies and nearly every calorie comes from sugar.

  • 3/5 Soul C. 1 year ago on Google
    We got 3 different smoothies and they all tasted like water. I'll stick with my regular spot. But the customer service was great. The two ladies offered to remake our drinks to make them taste better and they were patient and polite

  • 5/5 T M. 11 months ago on Google
    Love the different variety of smoothies and the options to add vitamins and other supplements. Great for those after gym days. Also, I like the option to add a food item and make it a meal. Was a great location to take the teens too!

  • 1/5 M L. 10 months ago on Google
    I ordered regular island green but somehow I got the detox version that have ginger in it. Which is not what I ordered and can't really drink this because am not a fan of ginger. I picked up my order and drove out already. So can't go back and return it. Please make sure you make the right drinks for future customer.

  • 5/5 Annamae M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a very refreshing spot to have a bite to eat. Their menu is great the food is delicious and all of the workers are very customer friendly. They prepare your food very quickly and the chicken quesadilla was one of the best I've ever had. Don't miss this place!?

  • 5/5 Silvia M. 11 months ago on Google
    Cashier jayla helped me and explained how to get the promotional smoothie I wanted very much appreciated . Truly welcoming spot

  • 1/5 ouazna b. 1 year ago on Google
    You deserve less than a one star actually it’s unfortunate there’s no way to do so, you need to educate your stuff to learn how to great customers and well behave especially for the gentleman with the name mike he’s so rude and disrespectful he has no clue with the customer service he looks like he’s ready to go in boxing ring actually not serving customer

  • 1/5 John T. 1 year ago on Google
    There was a gum wrapper in my drink, along with a chewed up wad of gum at the bottom. I found out by accident when pieces of the wrapper came through the straw. And mind you, it was not the paper wrapping. This was that Wrigley wrapping you see on many common chewing gum.

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 8 months ago on Google
    good options, including healthy options, dimple enough menu. One time I went to the big other brand chain and got pre-workout on accident. nothing like that happens here, the menu is simpler, and it doesn’t as much cater some fringe health stuff like the other brand. and they are quick here. glad to see up and coming competition in this market

  • 5/5 Jason A. 9 months ago on Google
    Try their chicken pesto flat bread, it's the best! Great staff, quick lunch service!

  • 5/5 Burke S. 6 months ago on Google
    Fast and friendly service. Fun, well maintained environment, and colorful decor.

  • 4/5 Kentucky L. 2 years ago on Google
    They are nice, but as a chain certain items could be better.. Their detox greens and avocolada smoothies without are great without sugar added. Also the roasted sweet potatoes and kale slaw are good...stick with the wraps and melts if you want food..salads not so good for the price

  • 5/5 Mariah F. 1 year ago on Google
    Been here a couple of times, everyone is always super friendly and quick to get items out! The rare times something is messed up, it's a speedy fix! Thanks for your hard work and the delicious food and smoothies!

  • 5/5 Annamarie M. 3 years ago on Google
    So good so refreshing my go-to spot for lunch

  • 5/5 Lily S. 3 years ago on Google
    The staff here are always really awesome and super nice but today they were particularly so (3/02/21). They were really busy and they still took the time to welcome everyone and acknowledge everyone. I was early to pickup my food and they made an effort to get it to me ASAP. I also love their pesto chicken Flatbread and all of the smoothies I've tried so far have been great.

  • 5/5 Rachel R. 2 years ago on Google
    I don’t normally leave reviews, but i have a great experience every time i go here! Everyone’s kind and helpful, store is clean and plays good music, smoothies and food are always great!

  • 5/5 Karen W. 2 years ago on Google
    Wanted a quick bite and stopped here. These guys and gals were so nice and friendly. It was our first time here so we didn't know what we wanted. The manager gave me a menu cause I was have a hard time reading the one that was on the wall (I'm blind without my glasses). My son and I picked there new 🌯 wrap Citrus Hawaiian wrap. And a couple of smoothie's. This will be a regular stop for my son but I will have to wait till I come up there to get some more but it will be one that gets a stop every time I visit!

  • 5/5 Miranda W. 3 years ago on Google
    I wanted to wait to write a review until i had a few orders from them, but i have ordered from this restaurant quite a few times now and every time i do the food is packed well and delicious! The smoothies are better than smoothie king and they always draw a smiley face on your cup. Sweet and accommodating staff and amazing service. Will always recommend

  • 5/5 D B. 3 years ago on Google
    First time ordering here I love it! The place looked very clean, all the extras you could put in your smoothie where fresh and the employees were polite as well! They also came around the counter to give me my order which I found very nice and it made me want to come back. You guys all deserve a raise I appreciate good customer service because that’s what I do! Umm prices are good and the smoothie I ordered tasted exactly how I wanted it to perfect consistency! 10 stars ⭐️

  • 5/5 Alexzandria N. 2 years ago on Google
    I don’t typically get around to writing reviews but even after the disastrous day I’ve had I figured I’d replenish by getting a meal from here. Although it’s only been my 3rd time in each visit the staff is pleasant and efficient. But this time I want to especially give a special thanks to Mike and the staff there this evening! Even when I had a mishap which caused me to lose my whole smoothie once I got home Mike kindly allowed me to replace my smoothie. In which I know this isn’t something he has to do. I will forever patronize this business and want nothing but the best for them!

  • 5/5 Justin M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was a great find. The smoothies are delicious and you can sub the sugar for Splenda if you want to stay on the healthier side. The food has always been great too. Also, the staff is very friendly.

  • 5/5 Maxson G. 2 years ago on Google
    Always get my order right, always friendly! Delicious smoothies and surprisingly decent food for a smoothie joint. One of the best "fast food" options out there when you're trying to actually eat healthfully. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Kaylin F. 3 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best location. All the staff have such good vibes, thank you!

    I asked for a potion that would make me stronger than god and i was given it.

  • 5/5 Vanessa H. 3 years ago on Google
    I've been looking for a smoothie place that offers sandwiches or wraps for about 10 years now, without giving up quality in either. I'm happy to say it looks like I've found it here, and hope to be coming back frequently.

👍👍 Great food for a great price! Food that tastes good and makes you feel good. Amazing flavors and good portion sizes; I usually get two meals out of the bowl I order. The falafel is good, as are the meat options offered for the protein! Love the Mediterranean flavors present in their menu, anything y...
