    I came here after my pilates class and wanted something healthy, This place is exactly what I needed. I love how they incorporate protein in every dish. I got the açaí bowl and it was filling and fresh. The inside is huge and it's a great place to work from.

    The inside is really pretty and clean looking. Very boho sheek! The service is great and the owner was very friendly and helpful with explaining the menu. I came hoping to get donuts but they no longer make them. They've replaced them with muffins. I opted for a waffle and cookies. The cookies were good and sweet, and they didn't have a chalky protein taste. I'd get them again! I had the Elvis waffle, no bacon bits. Add pecan and Nutella. It was delicious!! Made to order, and thick and fluffy!! The flavors were great too. I'll definitely be back

    Cute smoothie shop with tropical aesthetics. Def a place to hang out since they had board games to play. Friendly team. Menu has a little bit of everything to offer. Got the strawberry cheesecake protein smoothie which tasted like a cheesecake with a hint of strawberry. The coffees with protein seemed to be the popular choice that day.

    Here's the revised version: Protein Monkey is a beautiful spot with stunning decorations--definitely an Instagram-worthy place! The service was super nice, even though there was only one person working when I visited and it was quite busy. Despite that, I got my order in a reasonable amount of time, which I appreciated. This was my first time here, and they offer a variety of protein shakes, teas, protein coffee, and more. From the taste, I suspect they use Herbalife protein, which may appeal to some. The teas all seemed pretty similar, but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. I also tried a green juice, which was packed with ice--at $9, I didn't feel it was worth the price. I ordered the Elvis waffle, and while the presentation was beautiful, the texture wasn't quite what I prefer. It wasn't crispy enough for me, and the toppings, while delicious, might've made it a bit too soft. The waffle itself didn't have that typical "protein" taste, which was a plus, but overall, it wasn't something that would draw me back. One thing I really liked and appreciated is that they have games available at each table, like Jenga, dominoes, and a fun hanging monkeys game. It's such a nice touch that makes the space feel cozy and fun for friends or family to enjoy together. I think the pricing is on the higher side for what you get, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant.

    Obsessed with protein monkey now. Such delicious food and satisfying reward to know how much protein! Will definitely stop here after my trips to the gym. The açaí bowl was perfect -- love how it comes with peanut butter and coconut on top. Little pricier than expected at $15 but worth the money and a large portion for the price. Star of the show are their waffles, my friend loves the Romeo & Juliet. Above all else, such friendly customer service in an adorable place to enjoy a nice coffee date or lunch.

    I opted for the waffle & tea combo These yummy things are packed with protein The churro waffle was hot and fresh covered with little churro cereal pieces The tea was watermelon mint nice and refreshing. Coming in at 20 bucks it's not a cheap meal but it is a sweet tasty one. Cute dining space Order at the counter friendly staff brought me the food Assorted waffles teas and protein drinks are on the monkeys menu.

    Easy five star review, from the vibe to the decor to Yani at the counter to the protein-focused shakes and waffles, I really enjoy this place! I'm honestly surprised it isn't packed with a line out the door. Perhaps Westchase hasn't gotten the memo yet. They should, we need to help them thrive. Upon entering you'll notice a really cool/hip but very very welcoming Miami type vibe. While the menu is relatively small, making the choice is so difficult, everything looks so delicious and actually is. Everything on the menu is custom made. Nothing is premade waiting to be served. The taste and texture difference is obvious. So far I have had the chocolate protein shake (non dairy) and a wonderfully delicious protein waffle. Will be back often for sure.

    Loved the aesthetic of this place. My protein shake was also delicious, I has the peanut cookie. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more. Only complaint is that the wifi was slow.

    The Elvis Protein Waffle

    I garante this is the best healthy Protein place you will ever try. This place is beautiful inside with such amazing energy and also thanks to the staff which were super friendly and helpful from welcoming us in, explaining the Menu and serving us what we ordered. I got the most popular Protein Waffle called The Elvis with 30g of protein in them. Everything was to die for . If you try this place you won't be disappointed

    Took my daughter here for some protein mini doughnuts. Delicious. They have a variety of flavors. She chose the peanut butter, coconut and churro. She loved them all. I got a chocolate IV. It was so yummy. I actually spoke to one of the owners. They are from Miami and have opened this location and plan to open others in the area. Go check them out for a healthy snack.

    Romeo & Juliet Waffle !
    Wendy A.

    This spot is super cute and trendy! They really have the most delicious protein waffles and shakes around! Honestly I don't know how something that taste so good can also be healthy lol but they make it happen! The staff is super friendly and sweet and it always feels very welcoming! I live going after a workout in the mornings or when I'm craving something sweet without having to indulge in something unhealthy! Great spot to also grab a protein coffee with a friend and just relax for a little! Check them out :)

The crispy pork belly was perfectly cooked, the poached eggs were spot on, and the roasted red pepper hollandaise took the whole dish to another level. It's one of the best Benedicts I've had. My friend had the Morning Bowl, made with vanilla Greek yogurt, granola, fresh bananas and strawberries, topped with honey and their house-made blueberry poppy maple syrup. It was fresh, beautiful, and just the right balance of healthy and indulgent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the service was warm and welcoming. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend Himes Breakfast House if you're looking for a memorable breakfast or brunch!

A lot of people bring their children here and it makes sense that they're here early since children wake up early. They also have a really cute treasure box with prizes for the kids, so if I was here with my family, I probably would bump this up a star. However, I was here with my husband and our couple friend. The decor is beautiful. I love how bright and cheery all the decorations are. Parking can get difficult, it seems like they have just enough parking for the amount of people there. The food is what I found just OK. I got their yogurt bowl, which I guess I can't really expect to be wow'd by a yogurt bowl, but I found it to be fine. My options were limited since I don't eat pork and a majority of their meat is pork. They do have a chicken sausage, but looking at pictures. It looks like the casing may possibly be pork so I decided to avoid it just in case. I also got their cold brew, it didn't come with any cream or sweetener or anything to add. I probably should've asked for some, because I found the cold brew to just be OK. My husband got the chicken pot pie and said he expected more chicken in it. I think our overall feel of the food was it was fine, but not great. I won't run to come back here, but I also wouldn't be opposed to someone wanted to. I think that's the definition of three stars for me. Price is super reasonable, this meal will not break the bank.

I swapped syrup for a drizzle of hot honey, and with the Nutella on top, it was sweet, balanced, and unforgettable. I also tried the waffle sandwich and the chicken and waffles, both of which were outstanding.

The Ahi tuna was absolutely delicious. I found the kale Caesar had a bit too much sauce, it tasted extra cheesy to me, so I think this Caesar sauce which is homemade has quite a bit of cheese in it for those of you who may not be big cheese fans.

She said it is precooked in the mornings and cooked completely when ordered. I thought that's dangerous, letting undercooked chicken sit until ordered. The liver was so dry, you can see it in the picture. My husband could not eat it. They gave the impression that the food was cooked to order. It was not. The black eye peas and yams were good.
