    This place was definitely a unique experience--there were monkeys everywhere, which made it really interesting and fun to be in! Service was fast, and the portions for the toppings were generous. My smoothie bowl was more on the frozen slushie side, which wasn't really my favorite texture, but still refreshing overall. Worth checking out if you're in the mood for something different!

    Service was great! The employee was super friendly and helpful, asked how ginger-y I wanted it, asked if i wanted mix of coconut water and apple juice or just one or the other. Asked if i wanted onion to make it sweeter. Smoothie was super yummy!! All blended and no chunks the painting in there were too cute. Def a stop in Charlotte you can't miss.

    The fruit bowl was good the added coconut was a great addition. But, the addition of peanut butter was a mistake for me. I ordered the small it was a good size

    I have been dying to try this place for a while and was in the area today so I was excited to stop in! I am not sure what if I was 100% prepared for this place. First I will start off by saying the staff was very friendly!!! That was the biggest positive I can give for this place. Overall it was not super clean, product everywhere etc. if you are expecting fresh fruit and bright fresh açaí bowls I hate to say it... but this ain't it. Everything seemed to be canned or in some sort or large container... all of the açaí bases were frozen and iced over. I had the pineapple bowl which was okay... again nothing that really wowed me. The base of my bowl was ice cold with ice crystals and tasted like it was made a few days ago (may not have been but just in my opinion). I just feel like this place is missing the mark. Also is a weird combination for a Delta 8/ CBD shop combo as well which I was not aware of prior which also may have blurred my feelings of this place. I just wish it was cleaner and that the fruits used were fresh and not bulk canned items.... Nothing screams fresh food like giant Great Value Apple juice cans when you walk in.... But as always go try it for yourself!

    I'm not much of a smoothie drinker, but I really enjoyed my smoothie from Smooth Monkey. Its a little pricey, around $10 for a 16 oz smoothie, but tastes great. I wasn't sure which flavor I wanted, so they let me combine some flavors and taste it before I bought it to see if I liked it. They use frozen fruit so it doesn't water down the drink with ice. If you bring your own cup, it's 10% off!

    I've been here a few times and each time they have delivered! The guy making our bowls had so much personality and was super friendly! He customized our bowls and they were stacked!! Also found it cool that they sell their açaí! I make a lot of bowls at home so I'd love to support them versus buying the one in the grocery store!

    This is a takeout spot for smoothies and açaí bowls. The gentlemen working were very friendly. They offered samples after I stated I was a first timer. This place has different flavors of the day. There was unique monkey artwork displayed inside. But overall the food... I ordered a pineapple açaí bowl. My bowl rated a 10/10. If any single blueberry wasn't fresh the gentleman tossed it instead of adding to my bowl. I'm adding this one to the regular rotation.

    In the heart of my favorite neighborhood in Charlotte... Plaza Midwood. Very busy neighborhood so tight parking lot. The interior gives off very 80s vibes and it's a cool place to sit relax and listen to music. The acai and smoothies are made out of fresh fruit and ingredients. There are many different bases to choose from and they do not skimp out. A small is enough for me. There are plenty of menu options. The staff is super nice, welcoming and cool to talk to. Great alternate for a healthy snack or for breakfast. This place is definitely worth a visit!

    On this very day I was in the mood for a good smoothie bowl . I may have just found heaven in a bowl. I ordered the Berry Berry Bowl- Açaí blended with strawberries & banana topped with granola, strawberry,blackberry,blueberry,raspberry & hemp seeds . I know sounds like a lot right ? It was just enough and did the job . I sat outside and monkied around with all the cute little monkey paintings on the outside of the building . I'm coming back soon to check out the smoothies .

    I stopped by Smooth Monkey before I left Charlotte. By the end of my bowl I was sad that I waited! It was so freakin good! The place is decorated in cool paintings and drawings of you guessed it, monkeys. The açaí bases were so good I couldn't decide between the mango and the one with watermelon so the guy suggested we do both. It was the best decision! I called myself getting a small taste before pulling off to leave and I ended up eating the whole bowl in the parking lot!

    Had a great time here. The customer service was great and helpful being my first time. They asked and provided me samples of items I was interested in trying. They also made helpful suggestions because on what I like and did not like. They were very friendly to everyone that walked in, old or new customers. There was not much indoor seating but many people took their items with them. There are some outdoor seating but it was a cold day to sit outside. I order the Mango Açaí Bowl with addition peanut butter. The added peanut butter was a great addition and set the bow off! Ordered the small portion size and seemed like the large with how loaded the bowl was with ingredients. The bowl was very delicious and I'm definitely going back!

    Açaí bowl was amazing and outdoor tables were nice to sit at. Music was a bit loud and made it difficult to hear workers.

    The acai is the perfect consistency and the additional toppings are 3 for $1 which is a STEAL compared to Rico's $2 almond butter.

    On the surface this may seem like a place just for crunchy granola types, but my curiosity once…read morebrought me though the door and I'm very glad it did because this place is special. It's small and cozy inside and the place has old bones you can tell by the creaking wood floors. It feels like walking into an old timey little grocer, but this market is dedicated to natural produce and promoting good health. They have a lot of products from CBD, to vitamins, essential oils, and natural beauty products. They also have a lot of food items like organic snacks, juices, soups, and many more. What brings me back though is their little kitchen where they whip up smoothies, wraps, salads, and some delicious veggie burgers. They offer spicy black bean burgers, and most recently I tried a soy blend burger made with various nuts and other ingredients. These aren't the type of veggie burgers that try to mirror regular burgers, they have their own unique textures and tastes. Originally it was a bit out of my comfort zone as an avid meat lover but I love to try new things and I have to say they are quite delicious. As I start to learn more about ways to improve my health I wouldn't be surprised if I start to come in more regularly. I highly recommend coming in to browse. Even if it doesn't seem like your cup of tea, you're likely to be surprised by how many awesome things they have for sale! It also helps that the employees are super friendly and they usually play great tunes!
