My LITTLE has had her eyes set on Palmetto Superfoods for quite some time. Her vocal requests to…read moretry this joint never fails whenever we happen to be in the area. Since we had a sister day of doing absolutely nothing, I decided to cave and agreed to a visit. Known for their Build Your Own Superfoods Bowl, this is a healthier food option located in Santana Row's ever growing food scene. The menu is quite simple- being broken down into 3 parts. Here you have the option of BYOB, Signature Bowls, Smoothies. My initial thought was just to pick a signature bowl because it made life easier. After reading into the ingredient details, I decided to build my own because there were certain items that didn't tickle my fancy. Purchase: *BYOB- Small. Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Chia Pudding + Tropical Spirulina. Honey Almond Granola. Pineapple, Blueberries, + Strawberries. Goji Berries, Mulberries, Macadamia Nuts, + Sliced Almonds. *BYOB- Small. Açaí + P.O.G. Honey Almond Granola. Strawberries, Blueberries, Bananas, Kiwi, Mango + Pineapple. Chia Seeds, Caotella ($0.50), Cacao Nibs, + Sliced Almonds. Orders aren't as quick as you would assume. Everything is made fresh and the consistent flow of patrons + continuous mobile orders coming in will only add to the time it takes for you to get yours. 5/5. Palmetto Superfoods is totally worth the wait. The ingredients are high in quality, everything is so fresh, and the "healthy" aspect is undeniable. These bowls will leave you refreshed, light, yet completely satisfied. Extra points because there aren't fake|cheap fillers being served that will leave you feeling sluggish and uncomfortable in any way.

I stopped by this location around 6pm on a Friday. The storefront didn't seem busy, but I soon realized that a few guests ahead of me were just waiting outside for the order since the place was small. I was advised to order directly on their digital kiosk, so I put together a custom bowl. I was going for fruity and got POG (passionfruit, orange, guava) + chia as the base. I added strawberries, blueberries, mango, almond butter (for protein), granola, and condensed milk for a little sweetness.I liked that the toppings felt endless. I ordered a small size bowl, which was $9.50. The bowl was tasty and the presentation was great, but the cost for the size didn't line up in my opinion.

They also shucked them and threw the half shell over ice! Great service! They were fresh, clean, and briny in the best way--that perfect ocean taste without being overly fishy. The size was solid too, especially for the price. For $1 each, it almost feels like a steal. I love that you can trust the quality here, and it's such a fun way to treat yourself (or impress guests) without spending a ton. Pro tip: grab some lemon, hot sauce, and maybe a little mignonette if you're feeling fancy.

I have been going to Jamba for years now and I'm still one of those people that call it Jamba…read moreJuice. I was randomly looking on their website and noticed several drinks that's not on the menu inside the stores. Could it be that they are offering Erewhon style smoothies? Oh my God yes! I ordered the Vanilla Blue Sky which is the Jamba's take on Erewhon's coconut cloud smoothie. Staff is very nice at the Coleman and Taylor location and you can't tell from my picture, but the smoothie is actually blue even though it looks purple in the picture. My Samsung Galaxy made the picture look purple lol. But anyways, I ordered the small and it's pricey at $10 but oh my goodness, it's a really good smoothie! If this is how the Erewhon smoothies tastes like, then I'm getting a bargain because their smoothies are almost $20! The smoothie is creamy, tart, takes me on a tropical journey and is satisfying with every sip. I cannot wait to try the other exclusive smoothies which are only available on their website and maybe the app. One sip and I am hooked.

I'm not usually one to frequent this shop, but a $5 coupon finally gave me the excuse to try one of…read morethose "investment-grade" smoothies I've been eyeing. I went with the Coffee Crunch, and honestly, it's no joke, it is delicious and absolutely packed. However, at an $11 price point, that coupon was the only thing keeping it in the "reasonable" category for me, especially since the portion is just a standard size rather than something more substantial. The layout of the place is a bit of a trip; unlike Jamba where everything is out in the open, the staff here is tucked away in a back kitchen area. I spent about five minutes waiting for my order to emerge, wondering if I'd been forgotten! But if you're looking for a quiet escape with god-tier air conditioning, this is the spot. I stopped by on a sweltering afternoon and it was nearly empty, cool as a whistle, and filled with trendy, comfortable seating rather than your typical stiff restaurant chairs. While I'm personally not a "bowl" person, the rest of the menu looks great. It's definitely got more of a local health-spot soul compared to the corporate feel of the Jamba down the street. I'll definitely be passing this place along to my pre-teen daughter, it feels exactly like the kind of trendy hangout she's going to live at as she gets older. Go for the crunch, but definitely stay for the AC.

Tried Vitality Bowls and ordered the PB&J chia seed toast and the açaí elixir. The toast was…read morefreaking phenomenal -- honestly one of the best PB&J-style things I've ever had. Highly recommend it! It's layered with so many good ingredients and the flavors work perfectly together. The only small downside is that they didn't have knives or forks available. Because the toast is so stacked, it's a little tricky to eat with your hands. That said... it was so good I didn't really care. The açaí elixir was also pretty good. Refreshing and something I'd order again. Service was a little slow but friendly, and the place seemed fairly clean overall. I usually go for a bowl at places like this, so next time I definitely want to come back and try some of their açaí bowls -- but once I saw that PB&J toast on the menu, I was locked in. Overall, I liked this place and would definitely come back.

My grapefruit green tea was so refreshing and delicious. It really hit the spot. I enjoyed drinking it on my way home. I would definitely come here again.

Ordered delivery through a third party app: avocado toast, vanilla latte, Bacon Egg and Cheese…read moreCroissant. While I can't speak to most of the customer service experience, the order was packaged nicely and securely. The Avocado Toast was the star of the show for me. Probably one of the best avocado toasts I've ever had flavor-wise. While I do also appreciate a lightly salted plain avocado flavor, the cilantro + lime + chili was the kinda vibe I knew I needed (but had never experienced) in an avocado toast. The bread was thick + toasted + soft. Tasted better than I expected after reading the menu description. Pretty filling for $8.50, current economy considered ); Vanilla latte & Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant were also solid. I got an extra shot in the latte and found it to be adequately strong. The croissant sandwich was pretty good with what appeared to be real egg. My satisfaction for the value of the experience may also be skewed by the fact that I got a 40% off for $10+ deal for this meal. It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around how expensive everything has gotten. So, my 5 stars is only representative for the taste and presentation here, less so the value, ambiance, or customer service. I'd come back.

I ain't gonna lie; I'm all about customer service, good food, and value! When ordering, I was told they were out--of what I understood to be the bread--so I asked, "What other bread options do you have?" The cashier rambled off some options, including "white bread." Internal dialogue: "White bread? I didn't know that was still a thing." Turns out, next to the Texas toast, it was the lowest-carb option, so I opted for it. She rang me up at $14.50... $14.50!!! I said, "I don't understand--why is it more than double the price?" To my complete chagrin, she replied, "I have to charge you for a BLT. Would you like lettuce and tomato on your sandwich?" Mind you, they also offer a cheese melt for $6 that comes with the infamous "white bread" and melted cheese. All they would have to do is add the egg and bacon! At least, that's what makes sense to me. I said, "I'm sorry... I do not want a BLT. I just want what I ordered, and I'm okay with white bread as a substitute for the croissant." She insisted, "We can't do that." WHAT??!! I said, "Charge me for the melt, and I'll pay extra for the egg and bacon. How's that?" She said, "Sorry, we can't do that." Internal dialogue: "But they can charge me for a BLT and make substitutions..." It made absolutely no sense! She ultimately conceded--charged me for what I requested--and gave me this bland-looking thing that was barely warmed up, much less toasted! I went out of my way to support "my community" and introduce a colleague to this place. I was so embarrassed--for them and for us! Never again! To boot: I added an almond milk latte, which took way too long to come out. When I went to check on it, the barista looked at me confused. Just then, another customer ran up and said, "Oops! I grabbed your drink by accident--but I didn't drink from it yet." The top hadn't been opened, from what I could see. I surrendered, moped back to my mediocre white-bread sammy, and tried to enjoy the moment. I actually enjoyed the latte... I was about two-thirds of the way through it when I noticed the receipt said OAT MILK--instead of almond... Ayyy, mi gente! Jamás!

The menu is somewhat limited for breakfast but I love that they serve it all day long. My mom ordered the eggs Benedict and I got the tri-tip breakfast burrito the eggs Bennedict was so yummy and I was amazed by the potato and bacon that came as the side for over $21 though I will say it's on the pricier range. The beef brisket breakfast burrito at $17.95 was very reasonable in my opinion as it included very high quality beef brisket that was so tender. I'm usually not a fan of barbecue sauce, but it works well here! Both portion sizes were great!
