    The art and design inside and out of this place is so awesome. We had a beautiful night Overlooking the water with the full moon shining down. The whole grain bowl without the feta is one of my favorites and is a must try! If you love sweet potato, The organic sweet potato power was also tasty. The seasoning on the kale was citrus and fresh. Overall wonderful experience.

    I don’t mind paying extra for quality and experiences but I think this place is OVERRATED. The food is “ok” if you’re looking for healthy, organic, sustainable options but the price ain’t really justified. We paid $45 for 2 breakfast and 2 juices. They have a wide range of options to eat-in or take out, juices and smoothie bowls.

    Pleaseeeee stop using plastic and cardboard for dine in. Serve the food on a plate with normal cutlery and provide glass or metal cups. To drink water I need to use a plastic cup .. it just creates so much waste. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of plastic and cardboard each week . 😭

    Hipster paradise. They could serve vegan air here and people would buy it. Smoothies were $9 each and not good. Took over 20 minutes for them to make said bad smoothies. My wife didn't even finish hers. I drank the rest of hers only because it cost so much money. If you've got more money than taste, this is certainly the place for you.

    Visited for the first time for lunch. We had a salad with falafel, mushroom tacos (2) that came with a small salad, a coffee smoothie (vegan) and a 250ml sparkling water. Food is flavorful and freshly prepared. Service is good, the restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating (at the front and also at the back by the water). Bathrooms were clean.

    Wow. I’m in love. So so grateful that I got to stay walking distance from this gem and got to eat hear a few times. The energy is just so right. Calm and peaceful, people are friendly and do whatever it takes to make it right for the customer. The food is so freaking good. Oh my. I didn’t take pictures because I ate everything too fast. But this banana bread people… my god. Gluten free and vegan and so soft and moist and spongy and just perfect if you ask me and I am not a banana bread fan at all. But you barely taste the banana in this one. So so good. And the cherry on this goodness are the tables right on the water where you can sit as long as you want into the night… just perfection, what can I say. I’ll be back and will bring more friends. Coz they also fall in love with this place quite quickly.

    Always good and fresh ingredients like we use at home. When I don’t want to cook but still want homemade, I head to MyaPapaya. Closed for a bit, now open along the Middle River. Today I had the TLG shot organic turmeric, lemon, ginger, echinacea oil: it will grow hair on your chest (not really) and the curry lentil soup with chunks of carrot, celery, onion and garlic. My honey had the Greek Salad topped with Blackened mahi-mahi Fresh feta, chick peas, kalamata olives, tomatoes, onions, yellow peppers - just perfect. The walnut banana bread was tasty but a bit dry. And just like at home, you pretty much have to bus your own table, which need a deep scrubbing (hence the 4 ⭐️ 🤷🏻‍♀️) Top it with the Super friendly staff and I will absolutely be back for more!

    Lovely little place, with seating out on the water. Menu is great, lots of fresh and healthy options to choose from. Food was good, felt a little bit pricey. Everything is served in recyclable containers, but no dine in options. Would come back for a coffee or smoothie.

    Now this is my favorite breakfast place! Very cozy and authentic atmosphere, outdoor seating on the river with iguanas passing by the deck. Food is amazing and service is super friendly! Highly recommended!

    I used to love this place and its other (now closed) location. But the food isn't very tasty anymore. Kind of bland and boring, not worth the prices, and served in cardboard even when you dine in. Not sure why they've changed the quality or preparation of what used to be great healthy food.

    This is the best wholesome healthy eatery in all of SoFlo! I've been coming here for years and the food, service, atmosphere is always TOP QUALITY, PROFESSIONAL, and FRIENDLY. The food is delicious with details in the preparation and presentation. The staff are polite, positive, and always have a smile. I highly recommend. Thanks to everyone at Mayapaya, Missy!

    Just had veggie wrap. Delicious! Nice size too. Wife had Mushrooms and avocado wrap… SAME! The fruit cup was preschooler sized but the rest was great. We cleaned the plates.

    So happy I found this GEM. Looking for a quick healthy lunch in FLL. I got the Organic Sweet Potato power lunch plate. So many Gluten Free and Vegan options. 10/10 will be back. Only downside is no wifi to work while you eat.

    4.5 This spot is such a gem! Tucked off in the corner behind the 711, and I think I like it that way. They are pet friendly on the patio, but of course emotional support pets can go inside. I did like the biodegradable straws, and complimentary water inside-- with self serve glasses mind you. Love the sustainability! Highlights about the grilled chicken sammich: Mozzarella was tasty and the pesto complemented it well. The Fresh fruits as a side could use more mango, but that's by preference! My friend got the Mango matcha smoothie-- and he said that there are major citrus vibes explosion of grapefruit, tastes super healthy. I got the Hawaiian dream and the ginger kick was just enough. Sometimes I find ginger to take over the whole smoothie but this did not. There's so many smoothies to try and I can't wait to come back and try more! The steak was delectable and cooked to my medium rare dreams. The eggs were too hard not runny like I wanted so I have to deduct a .5. But I really love this place. I saw they have a brunch menu, beer and alcohol as well very reasonably priced so I will be back!

    I have been coming to Mayapapaya forever and I plan on continuing my visits. The location offers incredible healthy and tasty food and smoothie options, an incredible vibe indoor and outdoors, and the most amazing staff. The patio tables on the river offer sunshine, views of paddle boarders and kayakers, and the perfect spot to catch up with friends and family while eating delicious food. The patio in front and the inside tables also offer a comfortable cool vibe to enjoy your time at Mayapapaya. The Brazilian Uplift is a staple, and everything from the Steak Salad to mahi wrap to tuna fish sandwich and everything else I have tried are always top quality. Truly the best part is the Mayapapaya family. Summer, Brooks and Ben(in no particular order) are ABSOLUTELY the BEST. Always welcoming me by name, sharing a laugh and a smile, and always engaging in conversation. They keep me coming back!

    You walk in and its so peaceful and decorated really cute. The staff was so friendly and very helpful. They treated everyone like they've been coming there for years. They have dining inside, outside and on the river which was stupid cool! I love it. The food was super good and so fresh. The bread was homemade it was yummy.

    Very nice , healthy place with good quality food. Food is delicious, big variety of smoothies and fresh squeezed juices. Fast service. Seating available inside and outside by the water. P.S. I wish pancakes were served past 11 am on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Stopped here for a quick lunch before a long day of biking and it was the right choice. Fresh, healthy, delicious food and cold pressed juices made on site. Burrito was wonderful and the side salad had fresh herbs which is always a plus. Staff was extra friendly even though they were slammed and there's a nice outdoor eating area right on the water.

    The most consistent and highest food quality out of any restaurant, anywhere. If you are wanting to fill your body with super premium fuel, eat at Myapapaya. From fresh, wild caught fish, to their grass fed beef, bone broth, unpasteurized fresh juices, beautiful free range pasture raised eggs, to their diverse, delicious, nutrient dense vegan options, the list goes on and on! Thank you for doing what you do, Myapapaya! You are so deeply appreciated!

    Where do I start. Food is amazing everytime I eat here. Great vegan options for my Husband too. The sangria is good with just the right amount of buzz at the end of the cup. Definitely recommend this place. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    Really nice place with delicious smoothies. We enjoyed outdoor sitting. In the morning they only serve smoothies, no food. So keep that in mind.

  • 5/5 Mila C. 5 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    I ordered the organic chicken sandwich on gluten free bread. It’s a great place you can enjoy your meal in front of the bay and everything on the menu is Organic! The food is a little pricey I paid $18 for my sandwich

  • 5/5 Greg P. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice little cafe with a delicious menu and a cozy dining area plus dockside outdoor seating. I think their Huevos Rancheros might be the best in the area. Yum.

  • 5/5 Ron R. 2 years ago on Google
    Quality, healthy food. Great staff. Order on one side and pick up on the other. Busy place.

  • 5/5 Jay B. 3 years ago on Google
    I’ve ordered many things over the past few years and they have always been really yummy! I’ve ordered most of the smoothies and my favorite one is the strawberry shortcake! I’ve recently been stuck on ordering the pitaya bowl. It’s full of delicious toppings and it is very filling, I can never finish it by myself! So anyway order anything and note, it will be made fresh with the best possible ingredients.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Excellent service and excellent food!

  • 5/5 Benjamin E. 2 years ago on Google
    Never disappoints. Must try their bison burger (California style). Staff is great, very friendly. Great spot for after a nice workout. They take pride in their foods and very healthy.

  • 5/5 Lady L. 6 months ago on Google
    We eat here quite often, awesome deck to sit on the water if the few tables aren’t already occupied. We take out more often and food is always on point! Produce is always fresh, clean and healthy food choices for everyone in our bunch. Definitely on our regular rotation.

  • 5/5 Kitty C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place on the water. Outdoor seating with umbrellas along the water behind the building. Nice healthy variety of food and drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. Very chill quaint vibe. Complimentary infused flavored water. Wonderful smoothies. Very good food.

  • 3/5 Brittnee L. 7 months ago on Google
    Many good things about this place and it used to be my favorite. The is a variety of healthy and tasty food. The employees are friendly. Outside seating options are lovely. It's annoying af that everything comes in a paper box with plastic utensils. It's all hard and messy to easy out of the box and the meals are not assembled. For example, if something comes with chicken on it, the chicken breast will come out whole, wrapped in tin foil, along with other elements of the dish in little plastic containers. You then have to spend time putting it together and cutting it with plastic cutlery. I don't visit anymore because it ends up being more effort to go there then to just prepare something at home. The quality of food is good, but for the aggravating experience it feels a bit overpriced-- even if it were a good experience it still seems pricey. You're encouraged to sit down and order from the QR code, but that's not very clear and checking out with the app is very confusing. It says something like "pick up or delivery." It makes you wonder if you're doing the wrong thing by dinning in. It would be nice if there was a confirmation on the app that lets you know you're in the right place, doing the right thing, and that your food will come out to you. Or better yet, would rather just only have the option to order from the counter. Then it would at least FEEL like you're tipping for something. Most of the food is pretty tasty. The bison burger and bread it comes on is hard to get down. The smoothies are really good ,however, every time I order one I ask for no gogi berrries because of any allergy and every time, the gogi berries are included the first time.

  • 3/5 Big R. 7 months ago on Google
    The salad was good, however as of 8/25/23 they no longer have fresh pressed juices indefinitely. Although the menu still had numerous pressed jucies and elixirs, they are all unavailable.

  • 5/5 Max T. 4 years ago on Google
    I love this place.. EVERYTHING IS FRESH, DELICIOUS AND CONSISTENT... plus it's one of the only places with outdoor seating on a river.. it's a special, magical, healthy spot... and as much as I don't want to share it, I feel I have to. Enjoy... I am here almost every day when I'm in Florida. Breakfast, Lunch/dinner and a Sunday brunch!! The photo I took the other day... breakfast... huevos rancheros... delicious!!!

  • 5/5 Raw Chef C. 8 months ago on Google
    The best veggie burrito EVER, hands down! Seriously! 😂 I actually don’t get it anywhere else because I always compare to Myas burrito and feel disappointed haha. This is Such a cute spot. The food is always on point, the smoothies are FANTASTIC, the staff is always super friendly! The location on the river is awesome with tables on the water. I frequently order for pick up and the food gets ready quickly and efficiently. I love this place for fast casual experiences.

  • 5/5 Victoria W. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the quick and easy, but also healthy food options here. Had the cold brew and the California bison burger over greens for a lower-carb option and absolutely loved every bite! We also loved that they have tables at the dock on the water, tables at the outdoor patio, and inside tables for when those Florida days are a little too hot to be outside.

  • 5/5 Olivia 9 months ago on Google
    Great place for a healthy lunch or a smoothie! Got the veggie burrito, I usually don’t like things with beets but this one was a hit for sure. They offer nice seating along the water.

  • 5/5 Carlos P. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Guy M. 5 years ago on Google
    Best acai bowl I've ever had! They also have great coffee, great juices, a ton of space, and outdoor seating with a view!

  • 4/5 C. B. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is good. Portions no too big. Parking is limited. They have this absurd method of ordering and paying food through a website that really slows down the whole experience besides having to provide your info (email, phone, name, bank account, etc) just to order food from your table to the kitchen located 6ft away, very inconvenient. Food is served in to-go containers. Servers are friendly and the place is clean and pleasant. They should have recycling trash containers for glass bottles and such.

  • 5/5 Tab P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresh food and clean atmosphere. I had a Greek wrap and fruit of the gods smoothie, my partner had the Caribbean chicken and strawberry shortcake smoothie, we both really enjoyed the freshness and flavor of everything. We sat out by the water but inside was well maintained. Staff was polite and attentive.

  • 5/5 jojo 2 years ago on Google
    The smoothies are delicious and the baked goods are always a delectable treat for snacking on. Amazing customer service and clean place, loved it. Thank you guys so much for donating to our event.

  • 5/5 Emily R. 10 months ago on Google
    Loved the food...very clean eats. Very little or No salt but still flavorful. I had a salad with mahi mahi - very fresh and sourced well. The guacamole was great and I'm a hard sell but ask for more chips. The Acai bowl - I would recommend asking for it as frozen as possible and adjust the base so it's not swimming after a few minutes. Loved the outdoor river seating. Customers were friendly as well and great place to bring your pooch & kids! I will be running back there soon!

  • 5/5 Cody T. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh-mya-gosh! This place is so incredible! The food is so fresh and delicious. Each ingredient is extremely flavorful. They have a great atmosphere, tons of outside seating including on their dock. They make their own Almond/cashew milks and butters so their smoothies are creamy and rich. They are also consistent, they are impeccable every visit, absolutely love this place!

  • 5/5 Noelle A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is great 💕 my fiancé and I aren’t from the area. We only eat organic foods so traveling can be sometimes difficult when we don’t feel like cooking as much as usual. His uncle showed us this place and we love it! We’ve been here 3 times in the week we’ve been here and it has been great each time. We also got to meet the owner one evening while she was watering the plants and she’s very lovely as well. Very grateful there was this option so close with a great menu to choose from!
