Everything was clean and the lady behind the counter was not only wearing gloves but was switching them out like she was supposed to.

The seating inside is a bit limited, so it can feel crowded during busy hours, but I noticed that they do a lot of to-go orders, which makes sense for a place like this. It seems perfect for grabbing something quick and healthy. I ordered the kale salad, and it was really good. It tasted fresh and light, which is exactly what I wanted. Sometimes it's hard to find something filling without meat, but this salad definitely satisfied me. My friend ordered the vegan wrap, and we were impressed that you can substitute the wrap for a gluten-free option. She said it tasted just like a regular wrap, which is great for people with dietary restrictions who don't want to sacrifice flavor! I had a great experience at Kale Me Crazy! It is a solid choice if you're looking for fresh, healthy options in the Homewood area. I would definitely go back!

I got the Kaleicious Wrap (gluten free wrap, kale, and other complimentary veggies) with sweet potato fries and a Happy Feelings Tropical Good smoothie (pineapple, papaya, mango, banana, and strawberries). Everything was delicious! The workers and owners were kind and were able to describe everything in detail about the holistic health of their foods.

The bowl was fixed beautifully but I was a little under whelmed with the taste of the açaí base. It tasted like bananas and nothing else.

The menu is available online, but it doesn't have prices. I had it narrowed down to two choices when I pulled in, but the menu with prices wasn't readily available when I was several cars back, and if the rotating menu boards did have prices, I couldn't have seen them until it was pretty much my turn to order. So I decided to get the exact same thing I got at the 'competitor' earlier this week. I ordered a medium Sugar Free Tiger's Blood; it's an energy drink with coconut and strawberry. The drink itself was a little lighter in color; it also had a much different taste. It had more of a bite than I was expecting; maybe it had less strawberry? I'll assume it had similar calories, but anything I've seen online shows it might have a little more caffeine than the other, at 114mg for a medium. I still had absolutely no idea of how much it was. Well, surprise, excluding tip, it was 81¢ MORE than the competitor. Cons: Online ordering not available Nutritional information/calculator not available Prices not readily available Drink ordered less expensive and better flavor elsewhere So would I get this $7 energy drink again? Absolutely not. However, I might be willing to try a coffee or tea based drink hoping that it's not as pricey and I can get it with the creamers and sweeteners I prefer.

It definitely tasted like coffee, but with a kick of sweetness... and not too much. They even offer other beverages for non coffee drinkers. The service was great and fast. Definitely would check them out again and try something new!
