Got the green smoothie then tried the smoothie bowl which is a smoothie with toppings of fresh fruits and granola, kinda like an açaí bowl but not as sweet and more healthy. I knocked down one star bc the pricing on the menu above was wrong. They need to update the pricing on the board to match what they actually charge. Otherwise, workers are somewhat friendly and smoothies are bomb.

First time at South Block today. I was craving an acái bowl for lunch and South Block hit the spot…read more I ordered the Almond Butter Bowl and added strawberries. Points for presentation and quick, friendly service. I didn't order ahead and waited less than 5 minutes for my order. The bowl was a filling, good-sized portion. Not much seating inside (though all spots were available). Seems like a tasty, reliable choice for one's smoothie bowl & I'd definitely come back!

I ordered the Tuscan Kale wrap (kale, sweet potatoes, quinoa, broccoli, chickpeas, onions, basil pesto, hummus, cayenne, tortilla) in a gluten-free wrap, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful wraps I've ever had! The ingredients tasted super savory and fresh. I also tried the Coffee Date smoothie (cold brew coffee, almond milk, banana, peanut butter, raw cacao, dates), and it was delicious. The atmosphere is cute, clean, and trendy, with a really welcoming feel. It's small with limited seating, but it wasn't overcrowded at all. I went with a group of three and we sat outside--perfect setup for a warm day with shaded seating and umbrellas. Inside, there were people working on laptops, so it definitely seems like a great spot to hang out or work remotely. Service was quick, warm, and friendly. Overall, such a great find. I'd absolutely come back.

It was so very satisfying and she absolutely loved it and is excited to return! This location has a bench right out front where I got lucky to park so we sat outside to eat since it was cold inside.

I couldn't quite figure this place out. While a lot of higher end bakeries have lines out the door…read moreon Sunday, this place did not, and the selection of breads was a bit limited. Their sweets did look overly sweet and unsubtle and I opted against getting any. Their menu of breakfast foods didn't have much to my liking either. There were several breads available. I ended up liking the baguette, which browned nicely, but got a multigrain bread as well which was a little too soft to butter properly. I liked them, but I wasn't overly convinced that I needed to come here for baked goods given plenty of other options; the bar for specialness in a bakery is high, and Seylou this was not.

Bread Bite was just ok. I was expecting more of a selection from a full fledged bakery, but it felt…read morelike more of a selection from a coffee shop. I had the parmesan jalapeño bagel, but it didn't have a great chew and was a little tough. The service was fine and we got our orders quickly, and this is generally a quiet place to stop, although another patron had a dog in the store that was barking at a child who was running around, so it was a little chaotic towards the end.

Prices are on the moderate/high for the city. We ordered a steak sandwich. It was very good. The meat was actually sliced pieces from a quality slab of steak with tomato, arugula, pickles, cheese & dressing in between crispy flatbread. The flavors all melded together perfectly in harmony. My son & I shared one. They were presented in nice pink boxes. I could have finished several of them. Overall, a nice place to have a meal but it is pricey. I do recommend it tho.

The small rectangle brownie I got was nearly inedible. I don't recommend this place at all. The reviews should be considered before coming here. Nice place, but the quality was awful.

South Block has scores of options to choose from and I got the peanut butter & jelly. A+. I tried my fiancee's nutella amalgamation and it was just as good. I need to go back! We had such a great time enjoying it on the picnic tables outside. My only complaint was the acai bowl's were so good, our conversation was practically non-existent... we mostly just ate. They were filling, delicious, and broke my brain as to why I had gone this far in life without making this treat a regular in my pursuit of constantly enjoying the most toothsome dishes to be had. I need to go back. Soon.

It's nice to see things in Chinatown that are actually Chinese. This place offers online ordering,…read moreand I arrived to find it a pure takeout with no cafe to sit in. This was fine on a nice evening, but left me wondering why their online ordering system defaulted to a fairly generous tip from a price that wasn't low to start. They had some interesting menu options and I appreciated the light flavor of the grass jelly in the tea I got, but the actual tea flavor wasn't that strong.

We hoped to find a place that offered decaf coffee since it was late in the day, but really wanted something warm since it was a bit chilly outside. Unfortunately, this location of Toastique does not offer decaf - they only have a single hopper for their coffee, so it is not an offering. We were going to find another place, however, they said how about a hot chocolate or a tea. My friend is vegan and inquired if their hot cocoa was vegan, as most places have dairy in the chocolate. The cashier went to look at the chocolate syrup and also had another person look at it to verify it's vegan. My friend ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk. Even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes for her drink. We appreciated the effort to double check it was vegan, though I do wish they had decaf options.

The bread was too chewy, which made it difficult to bite off because there was no proper angle of attack since the toast was large. With that many toppings, it really should have been pre-cut, especially for a takeout order. I could not even cut it properly with the plastic knife they gave. Flavor-wise, it was fine but underwhelming. The salmon was good, and everything seemed fresh, but the overall balance felt off. The cucumbers were plain, and the toast leaned dry, like it needed more sauce or spread to bring it together. For $18, it felt like a ratios problem more than a quality problem. Overall, it is not bad, but I left a little underwhelmed given the price.
