I ordered a Pure Vida bowl with granola, strawberry, blueberry, and honey. I changed my order slightly by adding chocolate protein. My husband ordered the Power Bowl which was delicious.

It's on the east side of calder way and the location kind of stinks as its hidden amongst the various apartment buildings with poor access and parking. The interior though is great and transports you to the beach. Their bowls, and other offerings, are super tasty with fresh fruit, tasty granola, honey, coconut, etc. Pic shown is a pitaya goji bowl. I love it here but my one knock is its a little pricey. Typically $11-13 per bowl.

I got a variety of layered donuts to bring home, and loved the many different flavors to choose from that are made fresh multiple times a day. The sandy beach was my fav! I was also very excited to see vegan donuts on their menu and had to try one - they are much smaller and more dense but have a lovely flavor and are made fresh! Parlor also has a variety of drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and even savory donuts to choose from. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to visiting again!

Similar to other locations, it has welcoming Americana theming throughout and signature blue tiles on the floor. We went with the cookies & cream and raspberry pistachio donuts. As opposed to my prior experience with Parlor Doughnuts where they were prepared fresh, this location seems to have prepped a supply earlier in the day with a selection on display available for purchase. Both were great donuts, but lacked the texture as you bit into them that I had with my prior experience that put the donuts in the "next level" category for me. They also didn't provide the signature donut boxes, as they simply handed us a bag when we asked for a to-go box. Service wasn't all that warm & friendly or quick here, but still an overall good donut experience for me such that I look forward to visiting Parlor Doughnuts on my future travels.

Made arrangements with Balance owner and staff to stay "open" for our team. We pre-ordered our entrees and apps so when we arrived our food orders were already underway. Had drink orders taken and within minutes our drinks and appetizers were served. We had the place to ourselves with a wonderful waiter, Trenton, his assistant, a bartender, chef Dallas and his wife who owns the establishment but I cannot remember her name. First and foremost, the menu is awesome, diverse, unique and wide ranging. Prices are very reasonable and portions very good. The really reason to return is the taste. 12 guys had 6 or 7 different dishes and everyone raved at how good their choice was. Drinks were excellent and complimentary dessert samplings were awesome. The service was excellent, we were treated like special. My hats off to them for wanting to stay "open"; the restaurant closed to the public at 9:30 and serve us. Granted, it was a pretty good bill but I had called another restaurant in the area explaining our situation and they turned us down. I believe our proprietor asked her staff if they wanted to oblige us and she told me that their reply was something along the lines of "we're going to be here anyway cleaning up, why not make some money." Please, if you're in town or even close, give Balance a try, I guarantee you will be glad you did. Thanks again to all the staff at Balance for making our dinner together as a team a memorable and satisfying event!

So not to jump past the details... but overall Balance was just ok. It is a place I'd try again…read morebecause I feel like it has potential and maybe it was an off night. When I found them online I was jazzed about the menu. They have a lot of unique options which I'm a huge fan of. It's always easy to find basic menus, so to find something fun that also offered a kids menu (meaning, cool... I don't need to worry about taking my humans even though they'll be ordering off the regular menu) was promising. The space itself is funky in a good way and spacious. It spans a few different rooms which all have their own vibe, and we saw igloos outside! I'd say our food had a 60/40 success rate. The hummus was seriously awesome, as was the risotto. My protein power bowl was so tasty with a great dressing and I absolutely love that they have creative vegetarian options. Our server was so kind, but I'm not quite sure where they were for most of our visit. Again... maybe an off night. We'd try it again. If you're someone who needs a changing table, they have one!

Perfect combo of mango & orange and just cool enough to stop our sweating for a few seconds. We also grabbed a Hawaiian Island Flat Flatbread.
