I did the granola, almond butter, and blueberries. I also added protein powder to the base for an extra cost but this made the bowl more filling. I love how the acai is blended when you order it rather than being scooped from a tub. You can taste the difference as the acai flavor comes through stronger. The addition of coconut yogurt brings a tang and a creaminess to the earthy base. Their almond butter is ground fresh from the machine which gives it a crunchy and toasted flavor. The granola is a highlight for me. It has a generous blend of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit which bring a variety of textures with each bite. WOULD I GO BACK? Absolutely! I think this is one of the best acai bowls in the city.

For the $13, it definitely felt like a treat and not something I'd get all the time but I enjoyed it. My friend ordered the Secret garden juice with beets, grapefruit, pineapple, turmeric, and ginger and she liked it. The employees were friendly and patient. It wasn't crowded when I came in.. just a few people doing some shopping. We walked around the store and I liked that they had lots of health food items, supplements, vitamins, and vegan snacks and groceries, etc.. It was like a grocery store just with more interesting items. If I was in the area I'd definitely come back in.

I just started a new job in Hudson Square, and this Juice Generation is my go to lunch spot…read more Whatever judge me, go ahead. I don't care. If I eat too big of a lunch these days I can't even function and am just completely unproductive the 2nd half of the day, so a smoothie really is the optimal option. If my time in New York has taught me anything, it's that smoothie culture in the city is severely lacking. So when I found out about this Protein Knockout smoothie ($11), it actually changed my life. The water, blueberries, peanut butter, banana, and vanilla whey protein all make up 560 calories: 55 grams of protein, 23 grams of fat, and only 36 carbs. They should really rename it to THE MACRO BULLY or THE MOG FATHER. All caps. I use their app to order ahead, so right when I walk in my smoothie is ready and waiting. Their app is lowkey trash though. We need some way better UI. I'mma send an email to their product team right when I wrap this review up... Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

And it was so good! It was made so fast and it taste fresh. I love the music they were playing too. It has a nice seating area with a view of the outdoors, if people watching is your thing while eating. The bowl was just as aesthetically appealing and it was tasty. You can tell they really put TLC into the bowl. My only complaint was that it was $17! But I guess that's Manhattan prices for ya.

It was one of those 100° days when I decided to stop by and noticed that the inside of the cafe is just as warm and humid as the outdoors. No one acknowledged me for a long time though there were 3 employees behind the register. An employee was literally just standing there on his phone. When I spoke to him, he made eye contact with me, then looked back down. I waited at the counter for about 10 minutes before someone finally took my order. I ordered a yogurt parfait, a flat white, and an iced dirty chai. The flat white was good. The milk in my dirty chai was lumpy and the yogurt was noticeably warm...which is concerning since it's a dairy product and it's a very warm day. For a $14 parfait, I honestly expected better. The employee who took my order (he was friendly and the only staff member in the cafe who smiled), the flat white, and the granola on my parfait were the best part of the experience.

Oakberry Açaí was a convenient stop when I was staying in NoMad and craving an açaí bowl. Now that…read moreI no longer live in NYC, I originally planned to visit one of my old favorites, but this location was closer so I decided to give it a try. Food I built my own bowl (which actually comes in a cup) and added pistachio cream, hazelnut spread, strawberries, blueberries, gluten-free granola, and vanilla whey protein powder. The pistachio cream was the standout for me. I love pistachios and it's not a topping you see everywhere, so that was a really nice addition to my usual açaí order. One downside was the protein powder. It wasn't mixed in, which created a weird, grainy texture in parts of the bowl. If you're adding protein, I'd definitely suggest making sure they blend or mix it properly. I also wasn't a big fan of the "bowl" being served in a cup. Because everything is layered, it's harder to get that perfect bite where the açaí, fruit, granola, and toppings come together. Part of the joy of an açaí bowl is the mix of textures and flavors, and the cup format makes that a little tricky. Service The person working there was fine. Not particularly welcoming or memorable, but he got the job done. Well... aside from the protein powder situation lol. Ambiance This location is very small, so don't expect to hang out and eat inside. It's more of a quick grab-and-go spot. Price Oakberry is a bit pricier than other açaí spots. My cup came out to about $25. I did add some premium toppings, but even with those I usually spend closer to $18-$20 elsewhere. Overall, it satisfied the craving and the pistachio cream was a fun twist. If you're nearby and want something quick and refreshing, it works. Just double check that your protein gets mixed in!

There was one man working behind the counter and he was working as quickly as he could, which I appreciate, given the crowds. It was clear that there were a lot of items to customize with so I can't imagine it's an easy job. While pretty good, it's not my favorite açaí place in the city, but I appreciate their branding and mission very much! I also think that even though I got this one free, you could find better size per price, given that this was about $13 normally.
