I totally enjoyed the smoothie bowl called Beach Bum that I tried for my first visit. It was a thoughtful and delicious blend with healthy ingredients and attractively arranged. I felt healthy eating it!

I really like this place but I've had a repetitive issue with this specific location giving me old salads when I order ahead. So, twice they've given me salads out of their 'grab and go' instead of preparing it fresh. The 1st time was really disappointing because the lettuce was melted and 100% inedible. They gave me a refund but then it happened again! They gave me a salad from their grab and go with an expiration and price tag on it. With this one, the guacamole was brown although otherwise it was edible. When I order a salad, I want a fresh salad! I've eaten alot of their salads and its so much better fresh. For 13.50 all I ask is please make it fresh! I'll get sushi across the plaza instead, at least it's fresh. You gotta change this old salad policy, it sucks!

Great açaí bowl. I’m not the biggest banana fan and I could taste it in the açaí mix but other than that it was great.

I stayed away from this place for almost one year because of increasing prices with decrease in quality. On 4/7/24, I thought, let me give it another shot. The juices were reported made on 4/7/24. Watery!!! They tasted like pure ice was added.The smoothie bowls prices are up but less toppings; they tasted good because I added additional cashew cream which looked about a teaspoon. Presentation was good though. The worst part of the visit, my daughter and I were eating with about 2 spoons left to go and were rudely chased out by one of the young women (the team leader). The 3 young women were unpleasant as I could overhear them rudely discussing customers. People desperately want a good juice bar/vegan spot. Lawddd! No luck here. I have a Nama J2 and a Vitamix and can do better than this. Plan: No return.

Delicious offerings and appears everything on the menu is very vegan friendly. Tried the Chai smoothie which was very yummy; mini garlic waffles with guacamole and balsamic side salad; Mini sweet cinnamon waffles with blueberries, almond butter, and side of chopped strawberries. Everything was delicious and well made. Also enjoyed all the compostable utensils and to go containers. The staff was pleasant, informative, and welcoming. Lots of space to sit down. Will check out their other locations to compare.
