Refreshing, clean, and actually satisfying. Service is just okay. It usually takes a while to get drinks since it seems like one person is handling everything, and today wasn't any different. Not terrible, just something to expect if you're in a rush. They do offer a decent selection of quick food options, and there are tables if you want to stay. Also nice that it's not limited to Equinox Gold Coast members--you can stop by even if you're just in the area. One detail I liked: the bamboo-style straw. Super sturdy--didn't bend or break even when I bit down on it, unlike the usual flimsy ones. Small touch, but it stood out.

It doesn't taste like blueberry or coconut, tastes like a subtle cashew butter. I couldn't figure out what it was, it's kind of sweet but leans more savory--it clicked that it has a similar profile to nut butters. The granola is so delicious and it's added at the bottom and top. What's the granola bc want to buy this!! The coconut whipped cream was also really good; it melted with the base and made it sweet. The bad stuff: I wish the consistency was thicker. It was smoothie in a bowl, super watery and you have to eat it like soup towards the end. Strawberry Acai Bowl (4/5): This tastes nothing like strawberry, but it's the best banana berry flavor I've ever had. Banana so easily over powders other flavors which I why I avoid it, but this was very subtle and has more berry flavors, without it being tart. I did get sick of it once I finished, but I'm just not into this flavor in general. Again, the consistency is too watery! I had to slurp this up. I also like how protein powder is automatic with the bowl, you can choose whey or vegan protein powder. With the strawberry açaí, you can go sweetened or unsweetened. Serving size is really big, but total was a little over $15, with tip. Honestly worth it.

In search of a vibrant and healthy treat that would see me through the rest of my afternoon and into an early-evening Barre class, I decided to venture into the State Street location. This outpost is on the smaller side, so I am glad that I opted for takeout. The person working behind the counter was friendly and answered my questions about the menu. In addition to cold-pressed juice and shots, Pure Green also features handcrafted and made-to-order smoothies. I opted for the Skinny Coco: a fruity blend of strawberries, banana, coconut water, and plant-based protein. The flavor was light and refreshing and I appreciated having a dairy-free option, as I felt the coconut water provided an extra hit of hydration. I plan to return to try the cold-pressed juices. The menu is comprehensive but not overwhelming. Pricing is fair for the quality of the ingredients and service is efficient compared to other establishments of this type.

We were excited to try this new-ish place in our neighborhood. Went there for brunch on a Sunday…read more Got some coffee drinks, potatoes, and breakfast sandwiches. I'm sorry to have to say this was one of the worst restaurants I've been to in a long time. My drink wasn't made properly (the menu said it had a sweet creamy whipped topping but what I got was some unsweetened coffee foam). But thankfully when I asked for something else they were gracious and did so. The sandwiches were so bad I literally spit out my first bite of my turkey sausage egg and cheese sandwich and threw the rest away. The menu showed turkey sausage patty in the sandwich but mine had a few sliced up pieces of breakfast sausage links, the english muffin was very greasy, and the egg and spinach were covered in grease. My partner ordered the turkey croissant sandwich and the turkey was dried out/crunchy in some parts and parts of the croissant were burnt. The potatoes were very bland and some of them tasted sour. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and it was out of soap (it was before noon by the way), the hand dryer was broken (there was literally a part of it hanging out the bottom and the part was very dirty/old looking, there were splatters in the toilet, and there were food bits all in the sink as if someone had eaten then rinsed out their mouth in the sink. I'm so annoyed that I spend almost $50 for myself and my partner and we basically had to throw everything out. If I could've asked for a full refund of my entire order I would have.
