The portions don't look big in these pictures, but I got 10 shrimp in my coconut shrimp basket plus many many fries, so it's definitely a good amount!

This spot has a laid-back, fun atmosphere with outdoor games and plenty of picnic tables, making it perfect for hanging out. The setup is super easy: order at the counter, grab a table, and relax. There's also a small corner with merchandise for sale, which adds a nice touch. We ended up sitting at the bar and ordered the Parmesan bacon truffle fries... and wow. They were so good I immediately regretted not being hungrier. I was seriously tempted to order more just to try other items on the menu. We also shared the rainbow flight and had the picnic margarita--everything we tried was fantastic. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Parking is a bit limited, with a small lot in the back and some street parking if you're lucky--but it's definitely worth the effort. Next time, I'm coming hungry and staying for a full meal.

After all the heavy food we've been eating all week, a fruity, fresh smoothie was exactly what we…read moreneeded. This spot is just a short drive from where we're staying, tucked inside a small outlet. The ambience is cool I love the little Buddha statues. I do challenge you, though, to go all in on the vibe: grab some crystals, sage, maybe even a singing bowl to really bring out that hippie feel you're going for. The gentleman who helped us was friendly and happy to answer any questions, which is great because with so many fruit options, you might not know what some taste like. No worries though they've got a small chart describing each fruit's flavor (as seen in my pictures). I ordered the Sense smoothie the bright pink one made with pitaya, banana, pineapple, strawberry, coconut milk, and mango juice. The flavor was incredibly fresh. The coconut milk and banana stood out the most, but you could definitely taste the pineapple. Delicious. My lady got the Vitality smoothie the purple-pink one made with açaí, strawberries, banana, blueberry, and apple juice. Hers had stronger notes of blueberry and açaí, and was sweeter than mine. Both were perfect for breakfast. We'll definitely comeback before our stay is over!

I was…read moresurprised to learn that there aren't many spots that serve fresh and fruity breakfast/brunch options in the Orange Beach area ... and most of those spots are not open on Sundays. Thankfully, Planet Smoothie is, and it was just what we were looking for! My husband and I met up with a friend at this location around 10 AM, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves! There's some seating inside, and a bench outside too. This is mainly a smoothie shop, but they do have a few bowl options. My friend and I ordered the Dark & Dreamy with an açai base, and it was tasty. The toppings tasted fresh, and the base wasn't overly sweet. My husband ordered the Lean Green Extreme smoothie, and he enjoyed it.

We have been here a couple times and the young lady inside is friendly and know her stuff. The bananas and strawberries are our favorites but the milkshakes are mighty fine too ! I'm very pleased that Gulf Shores finally opened up our little coastal paradise to food trucks and I'm happy to support a locally owned and operated business. Especially when it's done well and it keeps me cool and refreshed, nicely done! Bottom line: Like I said, if you want something to cool you off, this indeed is a cool stop!

We immediately knew where we'd be stopping for our coffee today. This is such a cute little shop. They have a great menu with not only coffee, but also smoothies and lemonades. They have the perfect fruity options for a day spent by the beach. We ordered shaken espressos with vanilla and vanilla foam (or cold lava as they call it.) They were so good!! It was so nice to find something close by that we enjoyed that isn't Starbucks! Huge bonus for the fact that they use coffee cubes instead of regular ice cubes. It makes such a difference when you're a slower coffee enjoyer like I am! We will definitely be popping in for our daily dose of java a few more times this trip!
