It's a bit out of the way from the downtown area all the way down a street, so I hadn't passed it before I don't think, but it's worth visiting if you don't mind splurging on specialty smoothies. The menu was impressive with great options, also telling you all the vitamins and other good stuff contained in each one. I ordered something I hadn't had before, a smoothie called Long Life that included bee pollen along with acai, goji berries (dragonfruit), blueberries, banana, and pitaya. It tasted rich and dense, and felt great to drink! I also had some of my companion's order, which I have to note reminded me of the smoothies I loved getting at B.Good many times before they changed their menu too much over the years, raised the prices, closed multiple locations, and got rid of the glorious apple & bacon kale bowl. It's called the Namaste, a more typical smoothie with mango, kale, spinach, banana, and apple that also tasted fantastic. The service was great too. I for sure recommend visiting 11:11 Health Bar especially if there's a deal or discount happening!

The space itself is small, with limited indoor seating, though there are a few tables available outside. Staff are friendly and efficient, and they're happy to customize bowls to your preference. We tried the Nutella Acai Bowl and a Mango Bowl. The acai held up well without melting too quickly, and paired nicely with the bananas and other toppings on the Nutella bowl. The granola was fresh and added a satisfying crunch. Overall, the bowls were flavorful, refreshing, and a great option for a quick healthy bite.

And the staff needs to be cloned cause we need more of these folks in the population. Only 1 complaint! And it's a big one....the young (person/ lady) I spoke with today was SO SWEET I think she gave me a cavity!!!! Seriously though I was frantic about something and she was calm, cool, collected and so competent the MINOR issue was quickly resolved. Thank you so much! Onto the food I primarily eat pescatarian, the chickpea tuna salad and buffaltarian mix and my all time fav the Thai peanut salad with extra, extra, EXTRA veggies (extra tofu and edamame too) and all the glorious sauce they can add. I have some great skills but not time management. There have been days that the Nutty Professor (breakfast is with cold brew, lunch with oat milk) and the Grasshopper with hemp protein and matcha have been the only thing to get me through. And they taste like DESSERT. Truly decadent and yummy. I am one of those folks who likes sweets but if I have it without some protein and fat, it just makes me queasy. Like I will eat a piece of cake with ice cream and think "YES" and 10 minutes later think "oh no, I gotta lay down" Sometime I get 4 shakes at once, drink 1 for breakfast, 1 for lunch freeze the other two. When I work from home I mix them a couple times while freezing. Then I eat them and they are kinda like soft serve.

I was shocked by how great the portion was! Although I didn't end up needing a cup...I would recommend getting one on the side :)

It's definitely overpriced, though that's kind of expected for a health-focused spot in Chestnut Hill. The portions were generous, and we were pleasantly surprised by the flavor. We both agreed the food was good--but nothing you couldn't get at places like Cava or Sweetgreen for a fraction of the price. That said, if you're looking for decent food with chill, calm vibes to take your girly friends, this is a good option. However, I definitely don't recommend the matcha. Overall, the place is cute...just not $70 cute.

Disclaimer: We went there after a hike at the nearby park on a Sunday after hours, so all shops were closed. The mall was very quiet, so I don't have a good sense of how this place is during rush hour. Healthy wraps and food, fresh juice, and breakfast all day! Portions are very generous; I took half the wrap with me. And the dessert menu is a must-have! Staff is accommodating, and they love dogs :) Overall, a good experience; if you are looking for healthy fast food in the area, this is your place!

The market side is decent, though most of the products can be found at regular grocery stores, so nothing particularly unique stood out. The deli area seemed more popular, with a good-sized menu--but the lack of visible pricing was confusing. We ordered the Coconut Mango smoothie, which ended up being $10 for a small cup. That price wouldn't have been too shocking if the smoothie was great, but unfortunately, it missed the mark. It was way too watered down and barely tasted like mango, as the pineapple dominated the flavor despite mango being the headliner. Overall, it didn't really live up to its health-forward hype, and the smoothie experience left us pretty disappointed.

It was full however it's fully staff so the wait time was normal even though full . Small place so seating is limited. However you can eat inside or outside on the benches so no worries. It's a great spot in the neighborhood. Plenty of parking all around or accessible by the green line Newton center. Definitely come try or eat here if you're hungry it's well worth it .
