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.

The staff was super friendly and the ordering process was smooth. I got the regular chocolate vanilla swirl soft serve on a cone and it was so delicious. Creamy and refreshing. 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 :)

Only ate one of the 6 chunks. The rest is great.

I came here to get lunch while visiting Boston…read more The space itself is really cool -- makes me feel a lot cooler than I actually am! It also seemed like a nice place to read/get some work done. The menu is really varied -- a lot of different cuisines. It took me a bit to order but staff were patient and friendly. I ordered the mushroom shawarma pita and an açaí bowl. The bowl was delicious! They have their own smoothie bar that's separate from the rest of the kitchen and was served quickly. The mushroom shawarma pita was a bit disappointing. The flavors were good, but it was layered poorly, with all of the mushroom at the top of the pita, making for inconsistent bites. The sauces themselves seemed delicious. I would definitely come back to try different things!

It's low cost surprise bag prepared to go in order to avoid food waste, so you can't choose what you want. Also you'd have to pick up at scheduled time, my case was between 3 and 4pm. I reserved Variety Bag (not as Baked Goods Bag) for $4.99 plus tax = $5.34 a night before with TooGoodToGo app. I was not so excited about food I got in two small paper bags but hey, it's $5.34. Otherwise I like this Caffe Nero, great relaxing atmosphere, if you know what you want particularly , it is cool with great staffs.

Can't believe that I just tried their açaí bowl today! I basically stop by smith center everyday,…read morebut jut didn't have the opportunity to have a smoothie bowl. It is one of the very good ones I've had (among different cities, different stores). The base is naturally sweetened with banana and mango and gives its silky texture and sweet aroma. I asked for cacao nibs to sub the granola and got a large amount of cacao in my bowl. Not complaining, super crunchy. The blueberries and strawberries are of great quality, too. Almond butter is creamy. I think I'll have their smoothie bowls more often. In the past I have tried (and also recommend) wellness shot, chia pudding (lots of chia soaked in coconut milk). Their baked goods are also good, I particularly like tahini cookies (lots of super food and good stuff in there, like oats and sesame seeds, also chocolate chips of course) than muffin, although the latter is also made from healthy ingredients. Service is quick and friendly. Good experience!

I appreciate that their base isn't overly sweet and they give an abundance of toppings for an amazing variety of texture. To be fair, this spot is a little pricey so maybe a treat just every once in a while, but you're bound to be satisfied anytime you do choose to come! They also offer some delicious ice cream and smoothie options, perfect for a quick treat on a hot day if you're not craving a full meal but still want something on the healthy side. From my experience, the service is kind and helpful, and the vibes (which are similar across all their locations) feel very pristine and calming. I definitely recommend this spot and can't wait to try more of their flavor combos!

However, my most recent experiences have been better! I have been greeted with kind service and my orders have been made well.

The portions were what I expected and the server even was kind to let me pick a different topping on bowl since they were out of one of the standard toppings. I appreciated the attention to detail and taking a moment to make my experience better, rather than just skipping out on the topping. This recent experience was encouraging enough for me to come back sometime soon.

There were boxed veggies w/ dip, cut up fruit, muscle milk, yogurt, quest bars, Terra chips, and more! All of the prices were a little jacked up but nothing beats convenience especially in the winter!
