Few times have I found mysterious metal? bits in my smoothie. Unsure of what it is but it's hard so it's not fruit. They serve their smoothies in styrofoam cups and unfortunately my straw completely went through the entire cup before even one sip. The entire smoothie was now on my lap and in the brisk beginnings of spring time, I can say that I was cold. With the sheer embarrassment of pink goop on my lap, I wasn't gonna walk in for a replacement. Instead I drove home with frozen, sticky laps until I could shower and clean out my car. So--all in all, beware of the styrofoam.

Big bonus - you can order online ahead!

I've had smoothies in places like Miami Beach, Santa Monica CA, New York City, Birmingham AL, Atlanta GA, including many other cities -and Smoothville is as good or better than any of the top smoothie and acai bowl establishments I've experienced. They use fresh ingredients, their customer service is fantastic, and they are consistent in delivering a high quality product.

Girlfriend bought a peanut butter one with a bunch of add ons to it. She pops in more regularly than I do and that's typically her go to.

Good waffle, okay shakes, great owner…read more Came here on a whim, looking for a protein shake place to try. Saw they had protein waffles, and had to make the trek. Going in, it's very reminiscent of a Herbalife shop. They are not affiliated with Herbalife though, which is very much appreciated. Their menu is also very similar to Herbalife, with energy teas and protein shakes. But it looks like they cut ties with the brand and are doing stuff on their own. The menu was a little strange, they offered holiday shakes on their menu but you couldn't order them. We got a red velvet shake and the girlfriend got a custom smoothie. I got a waffle, and she got an avocado toast. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Took pics and dug in. The waffle was good. A little dense and heavy on the stomach, but you want a breakfast to be hearty to last throughout the day. The red velvet shake was watery, the red velvet extract was a little hard on the pallet, had a good chocolate flavor but a strong chemically aftertaste. The shake needed substance and stabilizer. A frozen fruit like açaí berry or banana would help homogenize the mixture, and instead of red velvet extract use a chocolate powder with red food coloring. Also a little bit of thickener like xanthan gum (used in tiny amounts) to help with mouthfeel. The waffle is good as-is. The avocado toast needs salt to help the fruity notes pop and combat the richness of the avocado. Everything bagel seasoning comes to mind. The owner was a delight, very kind and helpful. Which is why I post ways to tweak what she makes to bring them to that next level. It's not bad shakes, from a nice owner. Worth a shot if you need a shake

It's a herbalife shop, that puts in that extra effort to be better than the others…read more I belong to a bariatric group, and this place was touted to be a very good place to get a protein shake. Since there's a couple good breakfast spots in the area, I decided I would go to this location and give them a try. Place was decked out with decor and inspirations sayings. I take a quick look at the displays, and I see the herbalife products. To the unintiated, herbalife shops are pretty much these MLM shops. Kinda like lularoe. they use social media to attempt to appear trendy while trying to encourage repeat business while harvesting as much info as they can from you. I don't really care too much about that, I care about the end product and how things taste. After being to a few of these shops, I can say that I'm not really a fan of their proteins. I feel that they use a little too much thickener and are a little gritty. the flavors are muted and they always try to justify the price of the shake by giving you a detox + energy tea to go with it. Their shakes pretty much taste like what I would expect a protein shake to taste like, if I didn't know how to make one myself. The biggest difference between these shops is how they are operated. This place is operated pretty well. The owner was very kind and inquisitive, though they could be a little pushy. This specific location actually has lots of extra items like protein balls and cookies. They also got very decorative with their shakes, layering shake and mix-ins and topping with pictures of shakes to help you make your decisions. I got a shake, a tea for the girlfriend, some protein balls, and because it was customer appreciation day I got a balloon, a valentine protein ball, and a gift certificate. I did enjoy the protein balls, they had a strong peanut butter flavor and a good texture. The protein shake was okay, was this apple pie shake with layers of granola, apple, caramel, and a little apple pie piece on top. The tea had a little bit too much of their fruit punch flavoring, but it was drunk. The difference between this herbalife shop and others is the staff and the hustle, and this place is trying very hard to be just that little bit better than it's competition. I respect this place for trying as hard as they do, but it is not the greatest of shakes. If you want a herbalife protein shake, give this place a try.

A small shop in a plaza that'll have you questioning why you're out there…read more All the products are Herbalife brand from the protein to the additional boosters that can be added. Get a shake which comes with a tea. They have all kinds of different flavors too choose and the teas are refreshing. Takes a little bit of time to make it all, but not too long. I'm personally not a big fan of Herbalife and their company. The shakes all had a hint of peanut butter that more masked the intended taste. The tea is good but I think our's might have been mislabeled. Overall, it is good if you're close by and have $30 to spend on two shakes and a tea. The best part is the owner who has a great story on how she went through a weight loss journey and is fun to speak to. I might be back but not sure on that since you can get similar shakes at many other places or at your gym. The highlight was the owner, she was worth the trip not the shakes.

Milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, Vietnamese coffee, and some really fun specialty options like their Cream Brûlée and other unique blends. The space is super cozy and inviting with cute decor, little games, and just a really good vibe overall. You can hang out and sip or grab it to go, and the service was genuinely friendly. I left with 3 different fruit juices (fresh start, happy hour and red dragonfruit) for myself, partner and mom and we all loved them! Honestly, I wish I lived closer because Joy Cup is that girl and I would be there all the time.
