One of my dad's favorite places too, so it's become a bit of a tradition for us. I usually swap the açaí base for vanilla, which I love. The women working the morning shift are always so friendly and welcoming. It's a great start to the day every time.

AMBIANCE: Very small location with limited seating (3 seats). More of a grab and go type of place…read more Wanted to try samples of the juice, but the sample cups outside looked dirty/used? FOOD: Definitely more of an expensive place for acai bowls. My friend got their smaller soft-serve style version ($8) and the inside was unfortunately hallow. I got their original acai bowl ($14). The acai base was very flavorful and tasty, with a good texture. The toppings were good as well (loved the granola). However, is this place worth the price? Honestly no; you can get similar tasting acai bowls elsewhere for closer to $10. SERVICE: It seems like they only have 1-2 people working, however, there wasn't a long wait. The staff seemed neutral (not rude, but not super friendly) and the place was clean.

I've been to this Earthbar a handful of times and I do agree with the reviews that it tends to be…read moreunderstaffed/not have anyone tending the bar when necessary. I also have tried to order when the payment system was down. When you're able to get your order in, the smoothies are pretty decent. The protein powder flavor is a little grainy. The price point is as you'd expect at Equinox, however. I'd rather get one from Palmetto Superfoods or Pressed Juicery that isn't $12. It feels like Earthbar is trying to be Erewhon without the quality or unique celebrity backings/inspired flavors.

I had a very nice first time experience at Sidewalk Juice in San Mateo…read more I was in the area on a warm day, and I was looking for a cold refreshing snack. I was thinking about acai bowls, and the Yelp search engine pointed me to Sidewalk Juice. It's a clean, modern place, located near South Delaware St & Franklin Parkway. They offer fresh juices, smoothies, acai bowls, and toast. I ordered the Tropic Bowl, and added granola and peanut butter. Staff was really nice, and they got the orders out quickly. The place is really clean. There's a bar-like counter along the window with stools. Also lots of tables outside, as well as benches with shade. It's a nice spot to take a break. My Tropic Bowl was very good! They served it in a square plastic dish-like bowl. Much different than the typical bowls other places use. I like the presentation of the acai bowl. The fruit is neatly laid out, along with the crunchy granola. The creamy peanut butter was there, but the pineapple overpowered it's flavor. The acai base was cold, but not icy. I like their acai bowl, I'm bookmarking this place! I found free 2-hour parking along the curb 1/2 block away.

Nobody does better avocado toasts than sidewalk juice, hands down! Always so beautiful…read more I love all their juices too. Sweet greens is my go to. The Millbrae location has amazing sandwiches, it'll be awesome to see San Mateo hopefully one day offer even more good stuff and expand menu!

Their açaí bowls are some of the best I've had in the Bay Area. You can tell they take pride in using authentic Brazilian açaí, and I love how customizable everything is. The fruit is always fresh, the toppings are generous, and the bowls strike that perfect balance of feeling indulgent while still being packed with wholesome ingredients.

This spot is my go to Açaí spot every Friday and sometimes on sundays. The bowls are delicious and…read morefilling; even the small one. The staff are always pretty nice and they move quick when making bowls so I never wait more than 5-10 minutes. I've tried Warrior Blend Bowl and the Harvest Blend Bowl. The Warrior Bowl is the best I've had so far. I think the granola used for it is the best and mixes well with the other items in the bowl. The harvest blend bowl left a bit more to be desired. I ordered a small the last time and I'm not sure if the coconut layer was left out or it's just blended in the bowl because it felt like it was missing something. Overall, I love coming here vs some of the closer spots. I'll have to give the harvest blend bowl another shot to see if it was just that one day when I came in.

This is not my first time to this location, let's see how it went:…read more Parking is minimal at best, few spaces in the back lot and street side only.

The Citrus bar is outstanding also. Nice job on the fresh veggies and citrus bar combo.

Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at Sweet Citrus in Burlingame. My order was…read moremade incorrectly, and when I politely explained that I had received the wrong drink, I was told I would have to pay for a replacement instead of having the mistake corrected. I want to be clear that this is not a reflection of the staff. They were polite and were simply following the rules set by management. My disappointment is with the policy itself. I'm currently pregnant, and because of my nausea, there are only a few specific drinks I can tolerate. This particular drink has been one of the few things that actually helps, so receiving the wrong order wasn't just a minor inconvenience. I simply wanted the drink I had ordered and paid for. After posting my review, I received a response saying that if I had mentioned my pregnancy and that I couldn't tolerate another drink, they would have replaced it. While I appreciate the response, I don't believe customers should have to explain personal circumstances to have an incorrect order corrected. Whether someone is pregnant, has dietary restrictions, allergies, or no special circumstances at all, if a business makes a mistake and prepares the wrong order, it should simply be replaced. I've been to many other drink shops, and even when a customer simply doesn't like a drink, they're often happy to remake it. In this case, the mistake wasn't mine, yet I was expected to pay again. That level of customer service was surprising and very disappointing. I hope management reconsiders this policy, because every customer deserves to receive the correct order without having to justify why it matters.

Miso caramel never had anything like it, i'm shocked and…read moreimpressed and very down to get this again or try other things on the menu also the Miso caramel didn't overpower the coffee taste at All which is imo rare? service was great and speedy considering how long the line was (30min before closing too wow) I also loved the decor and I think this would be a great place to work: there's wifi, some seating and I think i saw a plug but not 100% sure

4/5 Kaizen Coffee…read moredefinitely lives up to the hype when it comes to their pour over. The space is clean, modern, and aesthetically nice, but it is pretty small and not really the type of café I would hang out at for hours. It reminded me more of a busy boba shop where you grab your drink and go. We came around 1 PM and waited about 10 minutes. They only allow around six people to queue inside, so there was a pretty steady line of people waiting outside. This place gets BUSY. We tried the black sesame iced latte and a single origin pour over. The pour over was easily a 10/10 for me. I love light roasts that are super fruit forward, bright, and almost tea like, and this was exactly that. The barista was also incredibly friendly and even shared his recipe with me, which I really appreciated. The black sesame latte was one of the drinks we kept seeing on social media, so obviously we had to try it. Unfortunately, it was not our favorite. The black sesame tasted pretty grainy and bitter, which clashed with the sweetness of the coffee rather than complementing it. I would probably give that drink a 3/5. One thing I really liked is their whole bean selection. They had a ton of freshly roasted coffee available, including beans from Hydrangea and Black & White. Overall, Kaizen gets a 4/5 from me. The pour over alone is enough to bring me back, but I was expecting a little more from their black sesame iced latte

When we walked in, we were greeted right away. Customer service is great, you can sample the ice creams. Different flavors than other ice cream shops, but BETTER. They had rice pudding, queso, eggnog, strawberry to name a few. The hubby decided to have the queso ice cream in a cup and I had the creminieve, it was fresh strawberries with 2 scoops of ice cream (you can choose what flavor ice cream, but I think it's best with the strawberry ice cream) and topped with cream, it was DELICIOUS I finished the whole thing! They also had dessert waffles available. Cute ice cream shop, friendly service, and delicious desserts. Definitely a must when you're in the area!

cafe kazka is such a hidden gem in foster city! my friend and I came to check it out for lunch…read moreafter hearing it was a hong kong-style cafe, and were not disappointed at all. first, the cafe is so cute and also spotless- I could've stayed all day just reading or doing work. there was lots of outdoor seating overlooking the water which was so nice! I got an iced HK style coffee + milk tea which I've never had before but was so delicious. I'd definitely come back to try the other fruity drinks too! we ordered the tom yum noodles, preserved vegetables & pork noodle soup, salt & pepper fries, and the HK style french toast with peanut butter. the french toast was our favorite- it was fluffy and chewy and was just like the HK classic. the noodle dishes were both so hearty and flavorful too, and the portions were a good size. it did take a bit long for everything to come out, but it did seem like there was only one person working and she was very kind and accommodating when we had questions about our order. we didn't mind at all, especially sitting outside and enjoying the view! overall, I'll for sure be back for the drinks and to try some other HK style street food.

This was my first time trying Cafe Kazka, and unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The…read morerestaurant seemed seriously understaffed and very disorganized. I ordered the lemongrass pork jaw rice. There were only about six pieces of meat, and the lemongrass was chopped into very tiny pieces and mixed into the sauce. The problem was that the lemongrass was extremely tough, almost like small pieces of tree branches, and impossible to chew. I had to spit them out, but because they were chopped so finely and mixed throughout the sauce and meat, it was very difficult to eat. If this is how they prepare the dish, they should reconsider the way they cook and serve lemongrass dishes--or consider removing this dish from the menu. I also waited about 30 minutes for my food. After such a long wait, I expected the food to at least arrive hot, but it was already cold. It seemed like the food had been sitting in the kitchen for a while because there weren't enough staff to bring it out to customers. The table service and cleanliness were also disappointing. There were no staff available to clean the tables, and I actually saw customers moving previous customers' dirty plates to one side and wiping the table themselves. Our table was also extremely sticky. The restaurant really needs to review its food delivery process. Instead of having staff run around the dining area trying to find the right table number, they could simply have customers pick up their food using an order number. This would probably make the process much faster and more organized. Overall, the food was just so-so, the service was slow, and the whole restaurant felt very unorganized. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back.
