Excellent customer service experience at this location. The young man who took my order must be the owner or manager. If he's not the manager, he should be promoted.

Mango Piña Colada smoothie, no mango base, coconut base and pineapples, added whey protein powder, spinach, and spirulina powder
Kate N.

Francesco did a fantastic job at making my smoothie and was super accommodating. It was so delicious and made exactly how I wanted it. I got the new summer special mango piña colada smoothie, but had it without mango base, just coconut base and pineapples, as well as whey protein powder, spinach, and spirulina powder. Very refreshing on a hot day! The smoothie bar itself is well spaced out with a good selection of seating options. Unfortunately, there is not a bathroom available for customer use. Still this is a great smoothie bar and I am very pleased with the service I received today.

My smoothie was delish with fresh strawberries and bananas with coconut milk. The service was good with limited waiting time for the order.

Delicious and definitely open! Went in this morning and got a smoothie and two bowls, one acai base and one green base. Everything was super fresh and really tasty. The bowls are large and my husband and I were able to share one. So many different combinations it was overwhelming but in a good way. A great addition to the neighborhood and they were super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be regulars.

Came here twice and I always get the pura vida bowl it's just so good, it comes with honey, blueberries, strawberries, and the açaí. Service is good, the workers are nice and polite. whenever I go it's usually empty asked a worker once how long it takes to make a bowl they said it depends on how busy they are but and estimate they gave me was 5-8 minutes. The place is nicely decorated to give off a tropical vibe which is very creative and makes it welcoming.

These people are the ABSOLUTE WORST Always making mistakes on orders You try to speak to someone and they have NO CLUE what they are saying Never any management or someone with authority. These young kids just don't care.

Tropical Acai Bowl

We came across this restaurant while looking for something completely different. It was a hot summer New York day and the idea of a refreshing smoothie or açaí bowl was exactly what we needed. The restaurant is located in a great spot. When we walked in, we felt like we were back in Hawaii. They have a wide variety of options for both smoothies and açaí bowls. The menu is well organized and not overwhelming. It has lots of seating inside. Ordering was quick and easy. The staff was friendly. Th prices were reasonable for the quality of their ingredients. We ordered the Tropical açaí bowl. It was well put together with each bite having a mix of different ingredients and flavors. The balance of the açaí with toppings was perfect. The fruit was ripe and full of flavor. They offer gluten free granola which is sweet and crunchy. Well balanced bowl of different flavors and textures. Filling and refreshing. Will deuce back.

People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
