Birthday cake for breakfast? Say less!…read more I've been dying to try South Block's seasonal Birthday Cake Smoothie because I'm a sucker for anything birthday cake flavored. With this week's heat wave, Thursday felt like the perfect excuse to finally treat myself. The Birthday Cake Smoothie is made with almond milk, banana, vanilla, granola, maple syrup, plant protein, and topped with a dollop of blue CocoWhip, a cherry twist, and sprinkles. I swapped the plant protein for whey protein, and it absolutely hit the spot. It was creamy, refreshing, and definitely gave me the birthday cake vibes I was hoping for without being overly sweet. I ordered ahead through the app, and my smoothie was ready right on time. I also appreciated their pickup setup. Completed orders are placed in a freezer at the counter, so you can simply grab your drink and keep it moving. Quick, easy, and perfect for busy mornings. One thing I love about this location is being inside Union Market. There are plenty of places to sit if you want to enjoy your smoothie or bowl. Now, if you've ever been to Union Market on a weekend or evening, you already know finding a seat can feel like a competitive sport. But in the mornings, it's much calmer with far less foot traffic, making it a great time to visit. Price-wise, it's about the same as the South Block near my office in Arlington. Is it expensive? Sure. But honestly, that's just the reality of smoothie and açaí bowl spots these days. At least here, the quality, convenience, and fresh ingredients make it feel worth the splurge every once in a while. I'll definitely be back... especially if they bring this Birthday Cake Smoothie around again.

I knew that an acai bowl was food, and, honestly... that was about it!

South Block has scores of options to choose from and I got the peanut butter & jelly. A+. I tried my fiancee's nutella amalgamation and it was just as good. I need to go back! We had such a great time enjoying it on the picnic tables outside. My only complaint was the acai bowl's were so good, our conversation was practically non-existent... we mostly just ate. They were filling, delicious, and broke my brain as to why I had gone this far in life without making this treat a regular in my pursuit of constantly enjoying the most toothsome dishes to be had. I need to go back. Soon.

I ordered the Tuscan Kale wrap (kale, sweet potatoes, quinoa, broccoli, chickpeas, onions, basil pesto, hummus, cayenne, tortilla) in a gluten-free wrap, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful wraps I've ever had! The ingredients tasted super savory and fresh. I also tried the Coffee Date smoothie (cold brew coffee, almond milk, banana, peanut butter, raw cacao, dates), and it was delicious. The atmosphere is cute, clean, and trendy, with a really welcoming feel. It's small with limited seating, but it wasn't overcrowded at all. I went with a group of three and we sat outside--perfect setup for a warm day with shaded seating and umbrellas. Inside, there were people working on laptops, so it definitely seems like a great spot to hang out or work remotely. Service was quick, warm, and friendly. Overall, such a great find. I'd absolutely come back.

The service was great. We got there a little before they were starting their lunch menu and they allowed us to order lunch anyway. So, it was nice that they were accommodating. I ordered the Reuben and it was really good! It had a lot of flavor, was fresh, not too greasy, and was filling! If we were ever in town again we will definitely go back!

They do not offer a meat, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich option on there online menu. Why I have…read moreno idea. If you order a sandwich online and request bacon egg, and cheese, you have to pay out-of-pocket when you pick up the sandwich they're not able to charge you the full amount online. Again, I have no idea why this is it defeats the purpose of the convenience of online ordering when I asked them why they didn't have an option for meat, egg and cheese. They said all we have people that order that and they just call in and request the meat that defeats the purpose of online ordering. It's not worth the hassle when there are so many other options.

This was fine on a nice evening, but left me wondering why their online ordering system defaulted to a fairly generous tip from a price that wasn't low to start.

Removed 2 stars ; Its as though the two workers who worked that evening also don't communicate with each other nor the customer unless spoken to. It's confusing because why have tablets to order if you won't check who just paid for it. I ordered on the tablet because there's a tablet to order and the man was using his computer. The order was made by the woman in the back. After 10 mins she bagged it up and walked away to start sweeping; no one even checked to see if it's mine despite being the only person in the store. Could be because I was talking on the phone but i literally paid .... so i left confused about why i have to prompt for service when im the only one there. The ambiance in there is nice but I wonder how they do when it's busy on H street.

It is a bright, tangy blend of strawberries, pineapple, orange juice, and lime. Refreshing, balanced, and just the right amount of zing. It hits the spot every single time. I recently stopped by the Brookland location after walking through the nearby farmers market and was pleasantly surprised. There were just a couple of people ahead of me, and the staff was fast, efficient, and genuinely friendly. The café itself was spotless, which immediately set a great tone. One thoughtful detail that stood out was that they brought the drink directly out to me with a straw. It is a small gesture, but it made the experience feel more personal, especially for a franchise spot. All in all, the Blimey Limey was as delicious as ever, and the service made the visit feel warm and welcoming. This location gets a full five stars from me.
