    Meet Me at Midnight, ???  , Orange Cream, Cinnabun and some extra treats!
    Debra S.

    The staff is so wonderful! This is definitely one of my favorite places! I chose the cinnabon flavored protein shake. I have been craving cinnamon rolls and this is much healthier! I also picked up some shakes for my family. I kid you not, I felt energetic and ready for a full day, after drinking my treat! On average, I am worn out after running errands. But not today! My body really needed this nourishment. I live in north Reno so this is far away BUT I definitely know where to go when I am in town! Great to see Michael & Sadie! Thank you for this experience! I will return! There are so many drinks I want to try!

    Cute!

    What a tasty shake and I'm shocked it was dairy free! As a deeply lactose intolerant gal I frequently struggle to find protein shakes that taste good and won't cause me to be in doubled over pain. I had the banana bread and thought it tasted great if a touch sweet for me! The protein ball and donut were also nice! My only suggestion would be more information. Normally I wouldn't mind the lack of specifics if it wasn't a health focused endeavor. Rather than a calorie range or the estimated nutrients in a shake I'd like to know the specifics so that I can plan the rest of my meals. It's a meal replacement, but what meal?!? I have no clue what the nutrients in the donut and protein ball are and am curious if I need to eat a bunch of leafy greens or more beans! Delighted to know this is an option!

    AJ greeted me and took the time to explain the differences and benefits of the Power Teas and protein drinks. I went for the Cucumber, Lime, Watermelon power tea which was really sweet but overall really good and refreshing. The mini protein doughnut had a good taste and consistency. I really liked the oat chocolate chip peanut butter ball. The location is tucked into the Walmart shopping center a bit but convenient while out and about. We will be back with our kids to try some more of the items they offer.

    I'm so glad there was a yelp event at Crush because I didn't even know it existed and I am now a huge fan! I met AJ at the front and he was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He went over the different options and recommended his favorites. I ordered the PB shake, the chocolate protein ball and protein donut. The protein shake was delicious and I'm shocked it had so few calories, so much protein and such a great flavor. This will be a new go to for sure! The protein ball and donut were also both very good, my favorite being the donut. I will definitely be back to try some of the teas and other flavors of the protein shakes. Thank you Crush!

    L.E.O. Support!!

    Love this place! Great menu selection, exceptional owner/staff. I timed it to arrive after my Orangetheory workout. I chose the banana caramel protein shake and it was delicious ~ the banana flavor came through strong but not overpowering. We also chose the chocolate strawberry protein shake and it was excellent ~ great balance of the chocolate not overwhelming the strawberry. We ordered the protein waffles to go and the flavor/texture was definitely worth going back for. The protein balls (chocolate & peanut butter) were delicious without a chalky texture, just nice and flavorful. AJ is a fantastic host, runs a great business and his support of our law enforcement/first responders is awesome to see! I'll be back for sure. They also partner with Orangetheory Fitness for a little discount. Michael T ~ thank you for introducing Yelp Elite to this great place.

    Cute little place and there's a PUP! Make sure you say hi to him and give hims some lovin! I got the butter beer shake and it's definitely tastyyy. Stoked to have something filled with nutrients because it matters what you put in your body! The little treats were yummy but next time I come in, I'm getting the waffles for sure!!! I'm sooooo full after coming here which is great sign for a good meal replacement. Love that there is a monthly menu too, means you can try out new drinks! Thanks for putting this together Michael! I'll be back soon!

    The yelp event choices. I had the Shake & Donut.

    I work from home in Sparks and I've been trying to eat healthier so today, I was looking forward to the Crush Elite event and it did not disappoint. I only wish now we had one in Sparks! The location was easy to find in S. Reno. I walked through the door and was greeted by AJ. He told me about the Elite event choices, so I went with the Dutch Chocolate, I love chocolate and the sprinkle donut which has 25grams of protein. I was sold right there. I received my shake and it was very tasty and the little sprinkle donut was incredible and let me say "it's pure goodness." I said immediately "I'll take the donuts to go". AJ wife, Megan made them right there so they were nice and fresh and of course I dug right in when I got to my car. There were 7 donuts, I had two and saved the rest for my husband to enjoy. The family moved to Reno from Southern California. They opened Crush November 2023. They have 6 other stores in Cali, but they love Reno and the community so that made my heart happy! Thank you Michael T. for finding AJ, Megan and Mom, Katie, I will be telling my Sparks friends to take a drive and stop in for a nice healthy treat!

    don't forget Wednesdays is double stamp day service is always amazing. Second time coming here and of course will be returning again. I end up getting a lemon berry cheesecake not overly sweet, or lemony, perfect balance between the two. If you haven't already make sure follow them on my social media, you won't be disappointed!

    Lesly M.

    I'm not someone who usually consumes protein, which is why I decided to give this business a chance. Honestly, I loved it! They have an incredible variety of flavors, both in shakes and infusions. The drinks have a perfect balance, and best of all, they don't contain an extreme amount of sugar, and the protein blended in perfectly. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed because the staff is super kind and friendly. They explain everything very well and even give great recommendations. The protein donut was a bit dry and not really to my liking, the chocolate truffle with peanut butter, was my favorite. Thank you for this delicious experience! I promise to come back with company.

    A great find for sure! I'm in that parking lot all the time but had never seen this place. The owner was incredibly welcoming and full of information on all of his products. We enjoyed a smoothie, and took three of the teas with us. We also took two packs of their protein balls, which I think are just delicious. I do wish there was nutritional information for their products, especially as they are a "health food" destination. Many people that are very into nutrition. Definitely wanna know what their macros are. The best part though, is that it offers something much more healthy for my daughter who is a Dutch Bros addict! She can easily stop here and get a smoothie or one of the energy teas and it will stay with her far longer than anything else she can get on the road. My son also likes the protein balls, he usually eats them now before his practices.

    My dh and I journeyed down to south Reno to check out this event. As usual Michael picked a great place to check out! I ordered the Iron Man which was delish!! It has Mango, Strawberry and Orange favors! Really almost unbelievable that there's only 25 calories and zero sugar. I would for sure order this again! My dh got the Dutch Chocolate protein shake which was also delish!! I would get that again too. Cause of course he let me taste his! We also were treated to a mini donut and a chocolate protein ball. Both were very good! I love the vibe at this place and bonus if you go on a M,W or F their dog will be there!!

    Owners Maygen and AJ, with my White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake SO YUMMMY shake.
    Elizabeth S.

    I have to admit I had never been here until today, but have I been missing out! I had the White Chocolate Rasberry Cheesecake Protein Shake at the recommendation of one of the owners. It was absolutely delicious. It was creamy and with a perfect amount of sweetness. It's hard to believe it is under 200 calories and loaded with Protein, Vitamins and Minerals. An absolute treat. Speaking of treats, I also had a Protein Donut and a Peanut Butter Protein Ball. The Donut wasn't very sweet, so I think it complimented the shake really well. The Peanut Butter Ball was just a bit too sweet for me, but also really good. It was lovely to meet the owners, Maygen and AJ. They were very welcoming and AJ, who was at the counter, was really thorough explaining their product. So many choices for flavors!! There is definitely something for everyone. There were 5 of us in our group and we found it really comfortable to sit and chat for a good while. Thank you to Michael T. and to Crush for a wonderful experience. I have already told my husband and he is planning a visit soon. SIDE NOTE TO ALL FIRST RESPONDERS: Crush offers a discount as a thank you for your service.

    My son and I stopped by today and we were promptly greeted by Aj and his wife. I'm glad they weren't busy while we were here! I was able to ask more questions and take in this cute joint. We were given the run down on their menu. I had a few diet restrictions, but I loved I could order anything! I was taken back by the variety of shakes and sugar free refreshers. This place is probably going to be my second home during my cut this season. I over indulged in sugar during my bulk. Shh... and here I don't have to worry. Their menu is sugar free and Coach approved! Their shakes are meal replacements and was my lunch today. I ordered a banana split and my son had a spider man kids refresher. I received a protein donut and chose a chocolate protein ball! It was divine! My son devoured the protein donut; He didn't notice the difference. ;) I sneak protein in my kids food all day while I'm home, so places like Crush that offer quality ingredients help me offer my kids healthier alternatives. I'm looking forward to coming back with my family for waffles and to try more shakes! A big thanks to Aj and his wife; the Crush crew for your hospitality today! I'll be seeing you very soon! Oh- Do sign up for their rewards!

The music was on point and perfect for the event. I really liked the live entertainment that they had to offer as well too. Having the event be right on the river really was the icing on top of the cake because it was so beautiful there and I loved how they had the stage set up outside.

We were invited to the premier viewing of this immersive event and it was beyond amazing. Born way before our time, 1853, Van Gogh is famous for his artistic talent, use of color, quick broad brushstrokes, and painting real life scenes from memory. He was challenged by being mentally ill and everyone has heard the story of how he cut off his ear and sent it to a prostitute and later committing suicide by shooting himself. Van Gogh paved the way for expressionalistic art. My favorite of course is "Starry Night" and it was fun to recall my days in school, when art was still taught and not considered a "nice to have class". Great to see old elite friends and talk about.... food. And get hot tips on great digs around Reno. It's great to experience the perks of being elite and get the "royal treatment" such as our event tonight. Thank you Mike T and the presenters of this amazing exhibit!

    An evening sharing food, friends and fun. So many amazing vendors showcased their sweets, treats,…read moreand savories for a fundraiser to bring awareness. I was so very thankful to be invited as a Yelp Elite Squad guest.

    Always a fun event for a great cause and again made extra special by the amazing food & drink…read morevendors presenting their offerings. As is my norm, thanks to our regional Yelp representative Michael T for hooking the Yelp Elite Squad up to be able to attend! Just like at every Yelp event such as this where multiple vendors are in attendance, it's always great to see long standing area vendors...including one of my faves...Great Basin Brewing Co...they had a couple of their award winning beers for all to enjoy. SO many great food offerings! Amazing beef sliders from Toro Bravo paired with outstanding (and hearty) Corn Chowder from La Condesa Eatery. Chef Sergio Romero makes delicious food at both restaurants and Cesar Perez (La Condesa owner) is always one of the most gracious and friendly hosts around this area. Always delicious food from Chef Kurtis Tan of Ijji Noodle House & Poke Don...I'm a regular customer at his restaurant. His Poke Tacos were out of this world! India Curry & Kabab had their fabulous offerings, as they do every year at this event...the Chicken Tikka Masala has been one of my favorites for many years. I'm a regular at their weekday lunch buffet. Delicious pasta from Belleville Wine Bar...Nico always does a great job with everything he presents... and he's such a nice person...always smiling... Loved the Mac & Cheese from Legends Grill Sports & Spirits...thanks, Dylan. I'll be dropping by your establishment for one of your authentic NYC style Chopped Cheese sandwiches again soon. While everything was great, here's the standouts for me this year: The 40 Clove Garlic Chicken Pizza from R Town Pizza was mind blowing! Marvin is a genius and an awesome chef...and an all around amazing human being. I just recently tried his pizza for the first time...and while it's not MY preferred STYLE of pizza (c'mon, I'm from Brooklyn...you know what that means in my pizza world), his pizza (and everything he makes) is something I'm going to do a DEEP dive into. His Blondies were the perfect dessert, as well. I can't wait to try all his offerings at his establishment. The made to order Lamb Lollipops from Reno Bar & Grill were stupendous! Chef Shane blew me away! He was grilling them to order right there at his table on a little mini electric grill. I could eat those all day. This was the first time I've had his food and I plan to also make a DEEP dive into his offerings at his restaurant now that I've experienced the bliss of his flavors! As always, the silent auction had some fabulous items. I put my bids in, but didn't manage to beat anyone out...the bids got a bit over my price range, so I just donated to the cause. I enjoyed the entertainment they hired. The singer had a nice voice, although I'm not a big fan of prerecorded backing tracks at a high class event such as this...he made the best of them even though it felt like glorified karaoke (and whoever was responsible for the sound? Shame on you for making it sound distorted...both the singer's voice and his backing tracks were over-amplified). It detracted from his performance... My suggestion...again...hire a live band next time...preferably someone LOCAL. If you haven't been, please attend next year and help this cause...you'll be glad that you did.
