This has become a weekly stop for me! I coach in the neighborhood and got tired of going to…read moreStarbucks so I decided to checkout this place next door. They had a buy one get one 50% off which is truly what caught my attention. Theres limited seating outside and inside but enough for 20-30 people. The place is clean and well kept. The workers are truly so nice and welcoming. They introduced us to their app for more points and perks. They are also always willing to provide suggestions based on what I'm craving. At this point I've tried multiple bowls. The coconut and pitaya are my favorites. Their OG granola is amazing. I also really like the PB Cacao and Super Green smoothies. Prices are pretty typical NY prices. So happy I found this place and plan on coming back!

I wanted to love this acai bowl and smoothie spot, which is just a few blocks away from Central…read morePark, but it didn't feel like great value for the price. The kids-sized bowl is a light portion size for a midday snack, but cost $11 and was more than halfway filled with toppings rather than the smoothie base. It was basically a small fruit bowl with some granola and a thin layer of smoothie. Service was also super slow, even for pickup orders. It was nice that they kept all pickup orders refrigerated to keep items at a cold temperature, and the ingredients were all fresh and tasty, but I'd go somewhere else for a larger bowl at a better price.

While I enjoyed the taste of the bowl, I was disappointed to find that the acai melted VERY quickly. I brought it home to eat, which took only 10 minutes, and it was a rainy day so it wasn't hot at all, but more than half of the acai turned into liquid already. The bowl costs $15. I didn't think it was worth it. The service was pretty quick. It only took a few minutes for the bowl to come out after I ordered. They don't have a lot of space inside.

I will most definitely be back and glad that I finally tried it!

The Progeny are little assassins. They're getting scary good at jiu jitsu, a Brazilian martial art…read morethat I consider one of the most effective marital arts for real world use, especially when it's taught in conjunction with aikido. As luck would have it, their dojo is a hop and a skip away from an excellent Brazilian cafe, Tap, where we often stop in for a snack before or after, in keeping with the Brazilian theme. Tap is a mini chain (or soon-to-be chain) with three locations in NYC and one in Miami, with additional locations planned in both cities. We are passionately fond of the pão de queijo, a gluten-free cheese bread made out of tapioca flour that has a consistency similar to mochi. I make excellent pão de queijo at home -- but.... as much as I hate to admit it, Tap's pão de queijo are better. They're toasted / reheated to order and served with a wonderfully crisp crust, but tender, chewy, mochi-like innards. They come in three flavors: classic (flavored with only cheese), pesto, and spicy. You can order them filled like sandwiches. (They call them paninis on the menu.) In any configuration, they are magnificent. The menu also includes acai bowls or cups, which of course are all the rage. (I think there are three or four acai bowl specialists within a few blocks of Tap.) We like the ones at Tap because they're a more manageable snacking size for the Progeny. Some competitors serve bowls that eat like two meals. We've never tried them, but there are beautiful tapioca flour sandwiches (that look like half moon omelettes), as well, and filled egg wraps that look like burritos -- all gluten free. Our only complaints: The Upper West Side location does not have a bathroom for patrons, though there is a little sink for handwashing. Service, while usually very nice, can be a little sluggish. And the matcha, while refreshing, is very wimpy on the matcha flavor. (No ceremonial grade stuff, here.)

The texture was strangely hard, and there was an unpleasant smell that made us uncomfortable eating it. Paid for 20 dollars, we ended up throwing most of it away. What really got me was the response when we brought it up. The guy simply told us, "The salmon is like this every day" and insisted there was nothing wrong with it. If this is what the salmon is like every day, that's honestly even more concerning. Fresh raw salmon should not smell strange or have a hard, questionable texture. Definitely not coming back.

I had the Protein Pepper Steak & Eggs for breakfast. It comes with steak, over easy eggs, a side of sautéed spinach, and au poivre sauce. I loved that the steak is cooked well done and my over easy eggs were slightly more over medium. The spinach is spinach, but I didn't love the au poivre sauce. I would probably ask for a different sauce next time. Service was phenomenal. The employees went above and beyond for me and I could really feel the genuine love they have for their customers. One thing that does bother me, however, is they don't recycle at all. Try to bring a reusable cup if you can!
