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!

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.

I needed a quick meal as I had not eaten so I grabbed a smoothie - The Dolce - banana, chocolate protein, peanut butter, coconut milk. Yum, hit the spot. Good spot to grab a healthy meal, snack, or smoothie to take on your train ride or for on your way home. Plenty of options to choose from on a large chalkboard. It's a nice option to be able to customize a bowl with your favorite ingredients. Freshly made, clean location, friendly counter staff. Some tables and chairs in here too. Not super cheap but worth it for being a healthier choice.

I decided on the acai bowl consisting of blueberries, flax and added three toppings of chocolate chips, coconut shavings and granola. Of course, it came out fresh and delicious. I love acai as a healthy alternative for having a light breakfast but not ready for lunch quite yet. This JP is quite small but had a couch to eat on the premises. The service was friendly and clean. I also love the reusable bag that accompanies the food. Highly recommend!

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!
