Fresh Twist is my favorite quick, guilt-free breakfast/lunch/dinner spot. Whenever I'm in the mood…read morefor something healthy, their smoothies and wraps most definitely satisfy my cravings and don't leave me feeling heavy like fast food generally does. The smoothies are also surprisingly thick, which sets them apart from most smoothie chains I'd also often opt for. Another aspect that makes fresh twist better than other smoothie spots is the fact that there aren't many places where you can also get a Cuban sandwich or empanadas or a quesadilla. My new favorite is personally the birria tacos, as they're juicy and the broth on the side makes them even more flavorful. I can tell that I'm not the only one who has such high praises for Fresh Twist, as they are always busy when I come pick up my order. However, my food is always done within 15 mins or so as promised on the phone/uber eats. So glad I found this little spot as it feels good to support a small business, especially when everything they make is so good!

Was in the mood for a healthy lunch while in Staten Island…read more Ordered the Acai U Later Bowl fresh with pineapples, strawberries and granola, the Power Breakfast bowl and the Peppermint Foam Coffee. The Acai U Later was delicious, the Piwer Breakfast bowl ( oatmeal) was hearty and ate only half. The coffee was good not great, really didn't taste the peppermint. I would definitely recommend Baya Bar when visiting the Island of Staten.

After ordering our bowls, we wanted to get a smoothie. I noticed the person looked a little frustrated. I apologized and they said it's okay but they are closing soon (7pm). Even so, they took our orders. 3 stars for the berry smoothie I got and the worker! The Pacific Beach bowl (size large, about $13) was aesthetically pleasing to look at but it was wayyy to sweet for me. I don't think I was be returning unless I pass by and want a smoothie!

The price was extremely high but we assumed the taste would justify it. Unfortunately, it did not. Both smoothies were a pale color (clearly loaded with milk) and tasted like absolutely nothing. Both of our smoothies had peanut butter; did not taste even a drop of it. Not to mention, there was somehow a hair underneath the ingredient sticker. Very bad experience update: my friend just called to speak with the manager, she was yelled at and told they would not put a manager on the phone. our smoothies tasted like nothing because we "didn't add anything to it" and for my smoothie they did not use almond milk as i requested but instead soy milk and added almond butter and refused to refund.

Last time I ordered a Doughnado, it was made wrong--missing Reese's Pieces and basically just cookie dough mixed into vanilla ice cream, even though the menu clearly shows it's supposed to have more in it. I let that go. Tonight was more frustrating. I showed up at 10:00 and they close at 10:30, but they wouldn't make a Doughnado. It's literally ice cream and cookie dough--nothing complicated. Does the Cookie Monster come in at 10 and take all the cookie dough or something? Makes no sense.

One of the few good dessert spots open late on Staten Island!…read more If you want something sweet, this is the place. If you order one waffle, bubble waffle or crepe you are met with a plethora of toppings and drizzles of syrups. Inside: seating to eat inside was spacious and not cramped. Music was playing and you're able to see what they are doing with your order through the show glass. Service: have always come late around 11 Pm or 1 am with a group of friends and the servers are prompt and nice. Food: you get a load of toppings on whatever you order that are their signatures which i recommend. However it is a lot of sweet. If you don't have a sweet tooth it would overload you but for the amount you pay they are stuffing it!

Honestly one of my favorite cafes in Staten!…read more We have come here several times, and the food does not disappoint. Usually we are here in the morning, thus we order brunch food. You need to order at the counter as they don't have table service. They will give you a number, and they bring out the food to the table. The drinks you need to pick up at the counter. We have ordered the breakfast sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich, burger, and their lattes. The breakfast sandwich comes with beef bacon! I thought I wouldn't like this, but it's surprisingly tasty! The breakfast sandwich comes with a small salad, so we get the garlic potatoes on the side. These are great. The buffalo chicken wrap and burger are also solidly good. I've only ordered the pistachio latte here because after the first one, I kept wanting it! Soo good! And I am picky about coffee! Currently my favorite cafe in Staten! Please don't change!
