My daughter got the Tropical Bliss both times and loved it, and my wife tried one of their protein/energy cookies, which was amazing too. The customer service is just as good as the food and smoothies. We came in right before closing, and our cashier, Bri, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She never made us feel rushed at all. I just wish Juicekeys would open a location in Greensboro! We'd definitely be regulars.

We spent the night at a nearby hotel and wanted something on the healthier side for breakfast. I…read morealmost didn't even look at this place, because I figured it was all juice and smoothies, but soon discovered they had great-sounding sandwiches as well. It's a cute little place, with a minimal amount of seating downstairs, but there is more upstairs. I got the turkey ham sandwich with "special sauce". Husband got the roast beef one with chipotle mayo. They were both delicious, although we couldn't tell a difference in the dipping mayos. Love that they are avocado oil based ones, and meats are nitrate-free. Bread is gluten-free. Husband got a cold coffee shake that he really liked as well. It's not inexpensive, but worth it for the quality ingredients. Service did take awhile, but the Gal was super friendly. If you're in a hurry, I would recommend ordering in advance.

This açaí bowl genuinely puts California to shame (and that's saying something, acai bowls should…read morein theory be best on the west coast). I'm a HUGE fan of the size options, the ability to customize, and the overall quality of the bowl. I love how the base isn't just sorbet. Stay winnin Chapel Hill

Definitely a nice and cool place to study or grab a quick bite to eat with friends. I'd say the…read morewaffles came out quite fast and looked really nice, but I'm not used to the texture of a protein waffle. I ordered the protein waffle with Nutella while my cousin got a protein waffle with blueberries, bananas, and peanut butter. While it wasn't something we normally would order, it definitely felt nutritious and was really filling to eat! I thought this one waffle wouldn't be enough for dinner, but I was surprisingly full eating half! Guess they don't call it protein waffle for nothing! Service was nice. Not too many people for a Friday afternoon, but the workers were quick to bring our waffle out. We also got an açaí bowl with Nutella (lol, it's because we have a little one who likes Nutella) and it was also really nice and refreshing for the humid summers out in NC!

My go to is the coco curry bowl, loaded with kale, rice, protein (I get the tofu), cabbage, chickpeas, and green curry. It's always fresh and delicious--not very spicy. And it's always filling--I typically eat it in one seating. Parking at this location is easy. Bonus for plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Worth checking out one of their locations!

"Smoothies on Hillsborough Rd near Duke University"…read more Yes, it's a chain, but worth checking out. I have come here a few times in the past month, and my experience has been universally positive. It's a brightly lit store with a few tables. One orders online, app, or from the counter. If you order online, your smoothie will be waiting for you in a cubby near the back of the store. They host an array of smoothies-- and they are BIG. I can easily share one with my partner and feel satisfied. I wish they offered more 12-oz options than just the kid ones, but I still love the choices they have. Bahama Mama is amazing, but I've also enjoyed some of the mango and other options. Island Green is the healthiest-- lowest in sugar and high fiber-- good if you're feeling... "stopped up"... for sure. If you use the app, you can also adjust the sweetness easily too to 50% sugar, which for me is plenty. There are also sometimes online-only options, like a pina colada one that was outstanding. And there are regular both online and store specials-- they had a special for a free small (12-oz that time!) smoothie if you came with flip-flops earlier in the month, if you have the app. I haven't tried the food options. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful. Not related to this store, I will say the app is nice for having specials and getting you rewards. But it is BUGGY. I've deleted and reinstalled a few times even though I have a relatively new iPhone just to get it to open correctly. And I still can't get the app to work to pay in advance with Apple Pay (nor can my partner on her phone, so it's NOT just my phone). Someone in corporate definitely needs to work on that app since you need to use the app to get rewards, but again, not this store's fault. Overall, definitely a good way to cool down, and a good location.

This place is getting 5 stars from me simply because Stephon is so AMAZING! The smoothie he made me…read morewas on point, but that's not the reason for this review. I want to commend him on his incredible work ethic. He was the cashier and the only smoothie maker. He was getting the people who only ordered smoothies in and out quickly. However, everything else was super slow. There were two employees making the food and they seemed to be struggling, but doing their best. They may have been new. The biggest issue is that the manager on shift, Andrew, literally sat in his office the entire time we were there and didn't offer his employees ANY help at all. We could see directly into the office and when I say the Andrew was doing nothing (aside from being on his cell phone), I mean it. Absolutely nothing. I genuinely feel awful for the staff on duty when Andrew works. Edit: it took 30 minutes to get 3 snack wraps.

You know you're in a solid Taiwanese spot when the speakers are blasting a piano cover of 童话 when…read moreyou walk in. The decor and the smells are all reminiscent of my youth - kind of like that scene in Ratatouille where Ego takes his first bite and gets flashbacks. The thing is though, while everything is passably good, almost every dish or drink has something that is just off enough to miss the mark. For example, the braised pork bowl has lettuce and not cabbage and was quite oily. The popcorn chicken had no basil, and the boba was just lacking in depth. Overall, it's a spot I would really love to love - but it's just not offering quite enough to be on my list of go-to spots. That being said, the service is very kind - a friend had an issue with her drink and it was promptly replaced without question.

I did ask for somewhat reduced sweetness, but the actual tea flavor didn't compensate for it. The best thing in it was the jellies I added in. The price wasn't crazy, but I wasn't a fan. What would convince me to try it again are the fact that they offer a variety of vegan sushi rolls. I didn't have room for them on the day, but maybe one of those and a different beverage order would be better.

Unfortunately, the drink was a bit diluted and didn't meet my expectations, though my friend enjoyed her "Hulk" drink. The service was average. We visited during a slow morning when it wasn't busy. The spot was spacious through. It is good spot for UNC students to come and chill. I appreciated the variety of merchandise they offered since it reminded me of the locations in NYC that I like.
