So Juicy is still my happy place for lunch and sometimes Saturday! This is where I go when I'm…read morepretending to be very responsible during the week so Weekend Me can live her best life. The build-your-own salads are a dream. You pick your greens (lettuce, kale, spinach), then go absolutely wild with unlimited toppings, veggies, cheeses, nuts, seeds, plus a huge portion of protein (chicken, tofu, or tuna) for around $15. I haven't found another place that lets you build a salad this loaded without charging you for every extra sprinkle of goodness. Now let's talk açaí bowls. The Cool Bowl is my ride-or-die. Banana, blueberries, coconut flakes, granola... it tastes like dessert but doesn't come with the regret of eating a large sized ice cream cone of Handle's upside down pineapple cake (that's still reserved for weekends). It 100% cures my ice-cream cravings. They also have fresh juices, smoothies, and cleanse options for anyone who wants the benefits of juicing without washing a juicer afterward (bless them). Everything is fresh, thoughtfully made, and actually keeps you full. The vibe is clean, bright, and welcoming, with community tables and fun little health tips hidden around the shop. And the staff? Always smiling, upbeat, and genuinely happy, like they want you to be healthy and well-fed. If you want fast, fresh, healthy food that doesn't feel boring or sad, So Juicy is it. I'm on my third week of regular lunches here and feeling way less tired--and way more smug about my choices. Highly recommend.

This was the first time visiting this place and I love it! I got a salad with a ton of toppings and…read moreeverything was so fresh. I got a side of Ranch and Italian dressing. Excellent. I will definitely be back. The employees were very nice and helpful.

Absolutely love this little gem in South Lake Tahoe!…read more Stumbled upon The Free Bird (aka Free Bird Chai) on a snowy day in Tahoe, and it was exactly the cozy, healthy spot I needed. This adorable green cabin-like cafe with the "Goodness on the Fly" vibe is packed with charm--wooden interiors, string lights, and the friendliest staff behind a shiny espresso machine. I grabbed two superfood smoothies: a thick, vibrant purple acai-based one (probably the Acai or Goddess--loaded with berries and superfoods) and a rich chocolatey Cacao Bliss. Both were incredibly flavorful, not too sweet, and packed with organic ingredients like spirulina, hemp, and goji. Perfect post-ski fuel! The menu has tons of options--simple fruit smoothies, green machines, power greens, plus homemade chais (I've heard the dirty chai is legendary) and wellness lattes with mushrooms or adaptogens. It's tiny, so grab-and-go is the way, but everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made. Prices are fair for the quality in Tahoe. If you're craving organic, nourishing drinks and bites (bagels, pastries, bowls), this is a must-stop. Already planning my next visit--highly recommend!

It was time to leave Tahoe, so I stopped here before hitting the road…read more It's a cute little coffee shop with the choice of açaí bowls! I love a good açaí bowl but I needed something that didn't require a spoon lol So I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and one of their seasonal drinks, a 12oz iced strawberry shortcake latte with soy milk. I have to say; I thought my drink was good and the bagel itself was nice and crispy. Service- the lady that took my order was nice. The one thing I can say because it's a small little shop, it can feel a little overwhelming with the amount of people, and trying to see what's on the menu. Other than that, it's a solid small cafe shop.

It was a panini sandwich which came with pesto and tomatoes. It also came with a side of lays chips! Additionally, the carmello was flavorful and not too overly sweet! The espresso gave it a nice bitter touch! I would definitely recommend this drink. Lastly, the staff were super friendly and there were games inside to play, or a nice study place. Overall, I would be coming back!

Honestly we ate here twice today before ice skating and gambling then again on our way home. For lunch we both had their generous sized avocado toast and for dinner my husband had their Tuna Melt (plenty of Tuna) I enjoyed their delicious Carrot Lemon Ginger Soup with a grilled Gouda sandwich. We both took 1/2 home. Employees work hard and efficiently with great music playing. Love the vibe here.

Sprouts is great for health conscious folks who don't want to have a heavy meal!!…read more Just not a meat lover's destination. The only thing they have for those of us who eat meat are turkey sandwiches You have the option to add sliced deli meat to the bowls but that doesn't really sit right with me. Alas, the sandwiches taste fresh and the smoothies are great too! [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion]

The restaurant is cute and clean and has a little coffee shop attached. The shop also had a great environment and that's where we got our coffee as we waited on our food. I 100% recommend and would go again!

Prices were kind of high for what you got but the food filled us up and service was friendly. If I came back, I would probably try something at the Mexican place.

Staff (both times I have been) have been super friendly and helpful A couple things to note: No WiFi - which I appreciate Iced drinks are 16oz so adjust your shot preference accordingly (I personally like an iced americano which takes two shots for a 12oz. so I adjusted to 4 shots for the 16oz and it does not feel overwhelming) For hot drinks the sizing is 10oz Would definitely recommend and will be going again and again and again
