Oh, how I love me a Vara Juice! This was actually the first location I ever tried, and it got me…read morehooked. The juice is fresh, flavorful, and always hits the spot. The staff here is super nice, and the inside is clean and inviting. BUT--let's talk about the parking situation. It's rough. This location is constantly busy due to it being in a strip mall, and to make it even trickier, it's on a one-way street. If you're coming from Ford Road onto Greenfield, making a turnaround is a nightmare. You either have to do a risky U-turn or turn onto a side street after passing the building completely. Honestly, I do think the juice is worth the hassle but...I recently discovered another Vara Juice location that's way easier to access, and I might just drive the extra few minutes for the convenience. Still, this one will always have a special place in my heart since it's where I fell in love with Vara juice.

I like the…read moretropical concept, but think it could use a bit of straightening up, particularly behind the tiki hut which is highly visible. Inside, it's immaculate and super clean, bordering on sterile. For a place called the Coco Shack, one would expect a bit of color and personality. There is a pretty blessing board in the front, and the menu is cute and clear, displayed in a chalkboard style. Service was fast and polite. The food is where the restaurant shows its color... finally! The fruit was fresh and flavorful, the granola was crispy, there's a solid selection of add-ons and the option to make your own bowl/smoothie. Also, I'd say the price is quite reasonable for the portion and quality. One minus was there are no restrooms for patrons. C'mon now. If you want a healthy treat, with limited to no experience (read: you're just running in and out), it's fuego!

Actually, just friendly in general- some of the most endearing customer service I've experienced in recent times! I was able to sample all their sorbets- so nice- which serve as the bases for their fruit bowls. I went for the peanut butter power smoothie which was pretty yummy and gave me some protein. The other options looked fruitier and probably more up my alley, but I was going for nutritional value. Most of their concoctions seem sweet and fruity- I did notice multiple contain Cain sugar, which probably ensures they taste good even if fruit isn't in season- ha! I'm curious if you can request to order something without it. The interior has seating and they did have a few tables set up outside- I saw some folks enjoying the beautiful weather with their treats. I was in a bit of a rush today, but the location is great and I'll definitely be back for a deeper inspection. Check it out!

Both my boyfriend and I went for the Peanut Butter Mocha smoothie, as we were looking for caffeine. Ingredients include coffee, peanut butter, banana, mocha, oats, and almond milk. The result is a cold and creamy, lightly sweetened, nutty, frosty-like concoction. It is not sweet, but it's impressive that it's not bitter, considering the oats and coffee in this smoothie. You can definitely feel the oats, but that just lets me know they're real, and they're there! The service was excellent. Sweet, helpful, speedy. Pro tip: download the app to start earning rewards!

A coworker told me about Vara Juice, and once I tried it--I was hooked. Even though it's called a…read morejuice, it's definitely more of a thick, creamy smoothie. My favorite is the original vara juice it's a whole layered experience. It starts with coconut at the bottom, then strawberry, followed by--you're going to think it sounds weird--avocado. But trust me, it's so good. From there it blends into mango, and all together, it's like a rainbow of flavor. Honestly, one of the best smoothies I've ever had. I just had to share it with my mom and daughter, who are both foodies like me--and they loved it too. My mom lives closer to the Garden City location, but I usually go to the one in Dearborn. This location is better if you want to sit and lounge. Definitely better location with a parking lot that isn't small or on a one-way street like Dearborn. All I can say is--if we ever get a Vara Juice located Downriver, I'd be there daily because I can't get enough!

This place is definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the Detroit area. First things first,…read morethey do not take reservations and they are always on a wait, that should tell you that they are good. We arrived in the middle of a snowstorm on a weekday. It was a Friday though around 11am and, predictably, they had a wait. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. It was totally worth the wait. Their ambiance is cute- the hallway is clean, they have bench seating and they put you on the list to get a text, so you could sit in the car if you really wanted to; we did not. They could use a foyer though. It was 22 degrees and snowing so every time the door opened we were instantly freezing. The menu is massive so if you're trying this for the first time and you're from out of town, honey bring as many friends as you can so that you guys can order everything!! Theeeee must have that I tried were the smoked wings. I have never had wings that were smoked and then fried baby they were crispy. They were seasoned to the bone and were delicious. I almost ate them all and had no room for anything else. We also did the berry pancakes which could feed 3-5 people alone; second of all, they're not overly sweet, which is why I did berries and not the peaches or anything like that; and, third of all, the pancakes are the size of your face, but they are fluffy and melt in your mouth! These were easily top two pancakes I've had in my life. We also tried the shrimp and grits, also a 10/10. A generous portion of shrimp, not overcooked and the sauce was bomb. They do put bacon on it if you're not a bacon eater pay attention. I tasted around it anyways but yes, we also tried a vegetarian omelette with home fries. This was just a 7/10 but probably because we only ever tasted it reheated because we were too full to touch it. It was 3 entrees and an appetizer and was definitely enough food to feed a family of seven. This is a must visit place, so if you are in the area and have never been: make time!!!! And take some friends. Each plate is a day's worth of calories!
