    The Black Bean Burger is disgusting and sandwiched between supermarket Thins. It was dry, chalky and flavorless. I've had better frozen Patties from Aldi. I will say the service was good. The employees were friendly and knew the menu. Unfortunately, the veggies were not fresh.

    walked by and decided to see what this establishment was all about. this was on saturday, an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly young lady helped me thru the menu and described some of the additives i wasnt familiar with. she gave me her favorites and i wish i could remember, but whatever it was it was amazing. my only issue with this place is the viscosity of the smoothies vs the paper straw ... warning you only have about 5 minutes to finish your drink before the straw becomes useless. smoothie 5/5; straw 0/5.

    I have been there about 4 times and have never thought to do a review. But this is the perfect place to get fresh food near the big chair. chill pill was fantastic this time and I got the J Coal it's black and has charcoal in it but it was the best. I can't remember what I had prior but the customer service is great so ask for a recommendation and they won't disappoint. I'm so glad I have somewhere that won't cost $40 for one person and is healthy.

    Great variety of juice, smoothies, and food. The juice was a little heavy on the bitterness but the smoothie was really really good.

    A good place to grab a smoothie and a quick bite to eat. I haven't had a smoothie I didn't like so go ahead and try them all. I enjoy the spinach patties and the vegetable ones are good too. If only there was some seating, this spot would be even better. Pull up!

    First time visiting this shop. Loved the decor and vibe. I got the Marion Berry smoothie, and it tasted amazing. The woman behind the bar was really personable and courteous. Will definitely be back to try other offerings.

    Their smoothies are delicious especially the Chuck Brown,the blue bear, Happy hemp and Marion Berry. I just wish they wouldn't run out of the smoothie ingredients so fast. Other than that, they are great, and the salads are awesome with the creamy vinaigrette.

    The staff here works hard to supply health and wellness to the community. Because of that, the delicious smoothies, spinach Pattie’s, black bean burgers and health shots, I’m in here every other day. Lol. Just wanted to stop and give flowers to a flourishing, black owned business. See you tomorrow. 🌹

    Been coming here for almost a year and I’m just over it. The service is just so low vibrational, they give you an attitude first and want to be nice later. Don’t bother ordering ahead because they don’t accept online orders even though it’s an option. If you order ahead and there’s 10 people ahead of you when you get there to pick up, you have to order as if you just walked in ALTHOUGH you ordered ahead online. 😂 I went in and got the Nipsey blue which is top tier smoothie despite service, She told me it was going to be green instead but will still taste the same. When I asked her why it wouldn’t be blue she looked at me and rolled her eyes said responded why. I think I still got charged the extra they charge with the missing ingredient. I won’t be coming back solely because of service, either they’re having personal convos on the phone while taking your order/making your smoothie, Have the little possibly underaged boy working up front… Not worth being irritated for spending $11 on a smoothie with a side of attitude. I tweeted and posted my experience on IG several others agreed that they now go to the Eastern Market location because of the horrible service.

    Very GREAT customer care! I stopped in here after my appointment at the chiropractor just a few doors down to see what they had available and was pleasantly surprised. I loved the colors on the wall and how everything was set up. The smoothie was very good and as I said before the CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT! Thank you again for a nice experience and I wish you much success!✨💜✨

    Spinach and vegetable patties are a great price and delicious! I love the juices, especially the green ones. The staff are friendly and I love that it is a local black owned business! I haven't tried the smoothies yet but ordered one for a friend- was surprised to see it wasn't that green when I got spinach added to it- but she loved the smoothie.

    The smoothies are delicious & staff/service is great! Only issue is the space seems to have frequent maintenance issues. There has been no AC working for months now, phone doesn’t work, and there is something leaking from the ceiling entrance.

    I ordered 2 5 day juice cleanse totaling $500 and Delivery was to be 8/2. It is 8/3 snd still NO SHIPMENT. I’ve been calling EVERY LOCATION ALL 5 left messages, no one has called me back!! I EMAILED THEM snd still NO RESPONSE. I am very disappointed in this lack of customer service and no follow up . I am trying to support black businesses but seriously YOU MUST DI BETTER !!! This is totally UNACCEPTABLE BUSINESS PRACTICE!! You need to have SOMEONE ANSWER PHONES AND EMAILS FOR YOUR BUSINESS SND NOT LEAVE CUSTOMERS IN THE DARK! Waiting to hear back

    Finally tried the black bean burger here & was disappointed. The spinach patties are always good tho. Don’t rely on the price on the menu because they do charge more than that.

  • 5/5 Robinne T. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a pleasant surprise to see they were fully stocked with everything. She was helpful and nice. I almost forget they had fruit bowls; as the other locations never or barely have them. The fruit was fresh and delicious

    For the last 2 months it’s been a 9 year old working their with them and he made my order wrong twice with the adult in charge yelling at him I’m not coming back to this location it’s always a problem down to rude employees . *update went in just for a fruit bowl , it busted open before I even left it which means it’s old also smelled rotten I just returned it . I thought it was made fresh daily but I seen they try to cover another company label with their own, under that it also showed a expiration date of two days ago Smh

    Surprisingly really great service. Lady making the drinks and her son were really pleasant. Glad to have met them.

    The two women here were very uninviting and rude. Wouldn’t even acknowledge me as i stood trying to purchase from this establishment. When i finally got acknowledged the woman with her airpod in didn’t even look at me from behind the counter she was at. She just rudely asked how could she helped me while remaining on her phone where the smoothies are made. I left and wont be returning. I will definitely be sure to let the community know not to support a business where the staff wont even acknowledge you. If the owner keeps these young women working there it’ll be empty.
