First time trying Palmetto and it didn't disappoint!…read more My friend and I came here at around 1:30pm this past Sunday. The inside of the shop is very small. You can order on the tablet or with a staff member at the register. I opted for a small build your own bowl with acai as the base. The small was perfect, and the acai was not too sweet. All the fruits were fresh, and I liked the variety of toppings. My friend got chia pudding, and I had a bite of it. I really liked it, so I would definitely add that next time.

ARSE! the girl gets my order and thumps it in the counter and says here you go. there's no lid on it and i'm like um .. she tells me they ran out of lids. and i just stand there staring because im not taking it like that. she finally responds and says i can tape a small cup to it. i said yeah you should do that because im driving it somewhere. she tapes "lids" to my medium cups and is annoyed doing it. you can tell her demeanor has changed. maybe she had a bad day or maybe she's tired because their swamped with orders ... i don't know but that was unnecessary. oh and to add the didn't even have POG base. like what?! that's one of your top sellers and you don't have that? WILD honestly. i went be in a rush to come back anytime soon.

The service was unremarkable - it wasn't super busy, so I got my order really quickly. I love their selection of juices and shots, but my absolute favorite treat is the freeze. They have an assortment of delicious flavors and toppings, from fresh fruit to a variety of drizzles. I love how their freezes are refreshing and light. This is the perfect store to visit for a sweet summer treat!

I was originally planning to head over to Palmetto, but since this place stays open later, we ended up here instead, and it turned out to be the perfect alternative. The bowls are seriously to die for. My friends and I arrived just before a big line started to form, and the service was incredibly quick and efficient. What made it even more impressive was that there were only two employees working the counter, managing both taking the orders and making everything from scratch without missing a beat. Great flavor, excellent hours, and hardworking staff. This is definitely going into my regular rotation!

I tried the Go Green smoothie, and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and very refreshing. I've passed by this location many times and always wanted to try it, so I'm glad I finally stopped in. The smoothie tasted completely different from the ordinary smoothies you find at other places. You can really taste the fresh, healthy ingredients. The shop is clean, welcoming, and conveniently located in the corner. It's also easy to see why so many fitness-conscious and health-minded people come here. Everything feels focused on fresh ingredients and better nutrition. I would definitely recommend Vitality Bowls to anyone looking for a healthy and delicious smoothie. I'll be coming back to try more items from the menu!

I'm not usually one to frequent this shop, but a $5 coupon finally gave me the excuse to try one of…read morethose "investment-grade" smoothies I've been eyeing. I went with the Coffee Crunch, and honestly, it's no joke, it is delicious and absolutely packed. However, at an $11 price point, that coupon was the only thing keeping it in the "reasonable" category for me, especially since the portion is just a standard size rather than something more substantial. The layout of the place is a bit of a trip; unlike Jamba where everything is out in the open, the staff here is tucked away in a back kitchen area. I spent about five minutes waiting for my order to emerge, wondering if I'd been forgotten! But if you're looking for a quiet escape with god-tier air conditioning, this is the spot. I stopped by on a sweltering afternoon and it was nearly empty, cool as a whistle, and filled with trendy, comfortable seating rather than your typical stiff restaurant chairs. While I'm personally not a "bowl" person, the rest of the menu looks great. It's definitely got more of a local health-spot soul compared to the corporate feel of the Jamba down the street. I'll definitely be passing this place along to my pre-teen daughter, it feels exactly like the kind of trendy hangout she's going to live at as she gets older. Go for the crunch, but definitely stay for the AC.

I've never been to a Happy Lemon before. I as warmly welcomed and greeted when I entered the store. There is plenty on seating inside. Besides drinks they offer bubble waffles. I checked out the menu. I decided to order the grapefruit green tea with 25% sweetness and minimal ice. My drink was ready in less than 5 minutes. It was $6.95. My grapefruit green tea was so refreshing and delicious. It really hit the spot. I enjoyed drinking it on my way home. I would definitely come here again.

Ordered delivery through a third party app: avocado toast, vanilla latte, Bacon Egg and Cheese…read moreCroissant. While I can't speak to most of the customer service experience, the order was packaged nicely and securely. The Avocado Toast was the star of the show for me. Probably one of the best avocado toasts I've ever had flavor-wise. While I do also appreciate a lightly salted plain avocado flavor, the cilantro + lime + chili was the kinda vibe I knew I needed (but had never experienced) in an avocado toast. The bread was thick + toasted + soft. Tasted better than I expected after reading the menu description. Pretty filling for $8.50, current economy considered ); Vanilla latte & Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant were also solid. I got an extra shot in the latte and found it to be adequately strong. The croissant sandwich was pretty good with what appeared to be real egg. My satisfaction for the value of the experience may also be skewed by the fact that I got a 40% off for $10+ deal for this meal. It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around how expensive everything has gotten. So, my 5 stars is only representative for the taste and presentation here, less so the value, ambiance, or customer service. I'd come back.

I ain't gonna lie; I'm all about customer service, good food, and value! When ordering, I was told they were out--of what I understood to be the bread--so I asked, "What other bread options do you have?" The cashier rambled off some options, including "white bread." Internal dialogue: "White bread? I didn't know that was still a thing." Turns out, next to the Texas toast, it was the lowest-carb option, so I opted for it. She rang me up at $14.50... $14.50!!! I said, "I don't understand--why is it more than double the price?" To my complete chagrin, she replied, "I have to charge you for a BLT. Would you like lettuce and tomato on your sandwich?" Mind you, they also offer a cheese melt for $6 that comes with the infamous "white bread" and melted cheese. All they would have to do is add the egg and bacon! At least, that's what makes sense to me. I said, "I'm sorry... I do not want a BLT. I just want what I ordered, and I'm okay with white bread as a substitute for the croissant." She insisted, "We can't do that." WHAT??!! I said, "Charge me for the melt, and I'll pay extra for the egg and bacon. How's that?" She said, "Sorry, we can't do that." Internal dialogue: "But they can charge me for a BLT and make substitutions..." It made absolutely no sense! She ultimately conceded--charged me for what I requested--and gave me this bland-looking thing that was barely warmed up, much less toasted! I went out of my way to support "my community" and introduce a colleague to this place. I was so embarrassed--for them and for us! Never again! To boot: I added an almond milk latte, which took way too long to come out. When I went to check on it, the barista looked at me confused. Just then, another customer ran up and said, "Oops! I grabbed your drink by accident--but I didn't drink from it yet." The top hadn't been opened, from what I could see. I surrendered, moped back to my mediocre white-bread sammy, and tried to enjoy the moment. I actually enjoyed the latte... I was about two-thirds of the way through it when I noticed the receipt said OAT MILK--instead of almond... Ayyy, mi gente! Jamás!

Now, about that espresso... nothing about the taste or preparation justified the price. One single shot was over $5 with tip. ONE. SHOT. I support local, but my wallet was too involved in this relationship. The average single shot, even here in Northern California, is around $3.50 THE BRISTRA TOLD ME IT WAS ONE SHOT! I asked. No lies were told here....I have been ordering expresso shots for years and I am well aware of the difference between an uno and a dos shot. I want local businesses to thrive, but pricing still has to make sense if you want people to become regulars. Not saying... just saying. Great service, great atmosphere. The espresso price? We need to talk.

Nice to have this mango dessert place in the food court of the mall …read more It used to be at Milpitas and Cupertino only and it is quite had to find parking in ethe same parking lot of those two locations . Valley fair mall has a lot more parking structures so more parking . However , strongly recommended that you avoid the weekends. Even if you try to get out of a parking garage like 3 pm , sometimes the wait could be 2 hours !!! I ordered D5 mango coconut drink with aloe Jelly . It is not too sweet and I love the coconut juice and the chewy of the aloe jelly. The mango is fresh and sweet . There are other varieties on the menu : mango ice cream , mango pudding , mango crisp and pudding , etc . We placed the order then found a table to sit down . It was fairly fast ( less than 5 minutes ) then our drinks were ready . The flavors are very consistent every time we visited .

But, like a magnet, I was drawn to the drinks with orange colored mango fruit. They looked like slushies-of sorts. In the back of the stand ladies were slicing up loads of mangoes-fresh! These drinks remind me of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. I ordered the mango, coconut and sago drink...and it was delicious The price is on par with matcha lattes that I get. The more flavors in the drink, the prices go up ($7+ tax and watch the payment screen since each charge defaults to 20% tip!!). The order service is quick. Tip2: Don't ask a lot of questions or the staff can get tetchy about it. As with any food court this size, it is noisy and crowded - no ambiance at all. Take the drink to go and find somewhere quiet to enjoy!
