A few weeks ago, I stopped into a Juice Generation on the UWS, to try out their new Matcha…read moresmoothie. Firstly, the smoothie was outstanding. Tbh, I was a bit skeptical at first, but this experience completely changed my mind, and made me a believer in "matcha smoothies." (For the not-yet-believers out there, I recommend having it with their wonderful almond mylk.) Secondly, I loved the welcoming feel of the store; it felt both relaxed and productive in there. And the sweet man who helped me out -- Mitchel -- was so friendly that I felt like I was in a five star restaurant, not a smoothie and juice joint. Give that guy a raise! : ) An awesome experience, at a healthy place. I couldn't be happier. Thanks, Mitchel and team! Peace, Kat

There's not a wide variety here, especially with acai bowls and you can't customize it with any extras or create one from scratch, which I'd prefer. But, when the craving hits there's only one place I'll go, and that's here .. the All-Star acai ball is all that and a healthy bag of chips.

This is pretty fucking good and not extremely expensive like many other places like this. Hard to find because the name isn't on the building. It was the correct place luckily for me when I came by. This is located on Broadway at 101st on the Upper West Side. Beware there's only room for a couple of customers. Order a smoothie or a bowl, and they make it fresh. It's about $11 for a bowl. The prices are decent. I had the Açaí Peanut Butter Bowl. This came with the frozen pureed açaí, and was topped with coconuts, granola, and peanut butter of course. It doesn't have any room for seating inside because it's such a small building. It's takeout only. That's okay because the Hudson River waterfront will only be a few blocks away and that's a cool place for eating bowls and such.

Very unassuming, small shop with amazing and reasonably priced smoothies! My go-to is the Cool…read moreFresh Shake with non-dairy milk, which really hits the spot especially after exercising. This smoothie has the perfect combination of avocado, spinach, cucumber, banana, and peanut butter. The staff make it super creamy (not icy at all) and you can always taste the flavor of avocado and peanut butter, but they do not overpower the drink. The large size is usually sufficient for a meal and keeps me full for a few hours. The staff are always welcoming and accommodating; they always confirm your order and choice of milk in advance. While the shop is clean, it is very small so there isn't much seating inside with only one stool, but they provide bags for grab and go.

While I enjoyed the taste of the bowl, I was disappointed to find that the acai melted VERY quickly. I brought it home to eat, which took only 10 minutes, and it was a rainy day so it wasn't hot at all, but more than half of the acai turned into liquid already. The bowl costs $15. I didn't think it was worth it. The service was pretty quick. It only took a few minutes for the bowl to come out after I ordered. They don't have a lot of space inside.

It's a little smoothie shop with lots of options from coffee, bowls, smoothies, and juices. All are made with fresh ingredients and prepared right in front of you. I went with the namesake, the green mandala! It's made with apple juice, mango, kale, spinach, and banana. It was the perfect consistency, I hate when smoothies are thin and watery! The flavor was fresh and sweet but didn't taste too healthy. Truly perfection. It's a grab and go spot - we walked to Central Park which was about 10 minutes from the Green Mandala.

My favorite is the power -açaí bowl w/ peanut butter (shown in the picture). My kids love the mucho mango (also in the picture) and the Stupid Cupid (not pictured). This particular location is a nice size. They have a few tables inside as well as a seating area. There is usually seating outside as well but the entire sidewalk block is under construction at the moment. I've never experienced bad customer service.
