Popular restaurant and café, good food, many coffee and tea varieties, including dry packaged…read more Café Jun is a restaurant and café in the Forest Green shopping center on US 40. It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

I ate here on a Saturday in late April around 11:00AM. The line was out the door and seating was…read morepacked inside. People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

The service was great and they got my order as soon as they could with very little wait time. Even on a cold winter day, there was a good food of people coming through to get food &:or a hot drink. A nice addition to the area & o r i will return to. I love açaí bowls so it's always nice to have a nice healthy food truck for a grab & go ... there's a bench or 2 for those that may wish to sit down instead. It's on a busy street but smart location. There's parking on the same parking lot as the truck but tight.

The prices are good for the quality of smoothies that you get, out of all of my favorite smoothie spots. I would say this one is the best, you can customize your drinks. The customer service is good. the place is really clean, and there's a really cool vibe about it, like there's a swinging chair that you can literally sit on and just like chilling and it's never really crowded. I would highly recommend coming in here if you want to try something besides smoothie king that is also really good for you with natural ingredients. The owner is very proud of her store and everybody there seems happy which makes me really happy too.

We discovered this place from Instagram promoting their new line of Dirty sodas so my wife wanted…read moreto check them out. We were greeted and pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff and the wide selection of options. This is a smoothie place BUT also so much more than that! They offer things like fresh smoothies, fresh lemonades in a bunch of awesome flavors, smoothie bowls, and even crepes. The place itself is really nice and positive inside. They have positivity in everything from the colors they use in their decor and even their counter has saying posted to brighten your day all over it. I was curious about this so we asked more about this place and were both surprised and delighted by the answers we got from staff. This place started as a food truck five years ago that turned into a physical location about three years ago that is one of one. What makes it such a wonderful place is they work with special needs individuals and they also have them intern at this place. That's such a wonderful thing as someone who mentors someone with special needs and has a wife that works with individuals with autism that means a lot to us. My wife is pregnant with our son and we can't wait to bring him here :) we also can't wait to return to try other options. We even thought about the having the person I mentor intern here for some life experience/fun environments. They have 9 different dirty sodas and they come in 24oz (we'd love smaller size options and flights options if possible! We wanted to try all the flavors) They also have games for you to play while they make your items. I love that they asked for and value feedback and are stoaked with giving recommendations which I asked for and genuinely care about what you think and wanted to make sure you are happy with your items. This was a 10 outta 10 experience for us. Well done guys! - SupaFlyITGuy approved! We loved our choices of purple haze and Dr. Mash and my Joplin smoothie

I chose the Blueberry Keto smoothie. It's not sweet but it has all the nutrients you need to start your day without the pain of indigestion or bad ingredients. Service is always friendly here. They acknowledge you when you enter and if they don't hear you enter the storefront over the buzzing blenders they will apologize and take your order. Clean and sanitary practices are the perspective from the customer view Take a break from a burger and start your day off fresh

Since then they have remodelled and the wall decor is great but I liked the open view of the employees making your order. Now it seems very closed off. I decided to get the energy acai bowl today. It was okay but not the best as it was pretty watery/soupy base. The toppings fell to the bottom. I also purchased 2 juices. Both were okay as well. I dont know what has happened to the great juices and acai bowls Ive had from here in the past?

Went for a date day with my little daughter-…read more we ordered a smoothie & a granola bowl- both were packed with ingredients, but the ingredients weren't really what we expected. For my bowl: The caoaco nigs were actually chocolate chip morsels- the coconut shaving was coconut sweet flakes- the fruit chunks were smaller than expected. This, factoring in the price, doesn't put them high on my 'yummy acai bowl spot' list- For my daughter's smoothie, she ordered a chocolate banana pb- and we added in blueberries, but they pureed them in, where the photo had them looking big chunks dropped- and she was a bit upset. The place had great bright, clean nice couches ambiance- but it did take awhile as the only people there to actually get our items because they fill a lot of doordash tickets behind the scenes. Glad we tried, but probably going to go back to our routine spot.

I think it's excellent in general, not just compared to other vegan restaurants. I give Great Sage 5 stars, meaning everything was tasty and I was impressed. Well balanced flavor in all the dishes. Cheese didn't feel oily or fake, just nice and creamy. Staff is great. Space feels clean and open. Wish it was a little cheaper so I could come more often. However FYI - happy hour on M-F 3-6pm where tapas are $6 instead of $9 and appetizers are $12 instead of $18. Definitely makes it more doable!

Hey friends! This is an unfortunate review. So, the first time I visited Great Sage, I felt the…read moresense that I wasn't welcomed. More particularly, because of my race. I didn't comment nor react to that feeling as I didn't have hard evidence as the staff did not blatantly do/say anything to me. Fast forward, to a year later at my next visit. That feeling was confirmed. Both times I visited with my godmother, who is Caucasian. My issue is with the hostess and NOT the entire staff. It started when we entered and my godmother was greeted warmly and I got a side eye. Hmmm. When we were leaving, I was walking in front of my godmother, she was about two feet behind me. The hostess say absolutely nothing me as I walk by but says "have a great night" to my godmother. To me, these were blatant acts telling me that I was not welcomed. This is unacceptable and unfortunate. Everyone should be allowed and feel welcomed in any establishment regardless of race. This behavior from the hostess was disappointing. I will not be returning to Great Sage.
