The blue wellness (blue spirulina, pineapple, banana, almond butter, date, coconut cream, hemp heart, and almond milk) is my favorite smoothie, I always get protein added for an after-workout snack. The acai bowl is a must try, it's so fresh and flavorful. They also have coffee, breakfast dishes and salads. The service is always top tier here, I'm always greeted by a friendly face. Deeky who works there is the best, she always takes her time to explain different menu items to me and gives great recommendations. The vibe is always peaceful, you can grab something to go or dine in. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Located in the CBD so be prepared to pay for parking.

Let me explain my 5 star rating. I'm not saying that this restaurant is deserving of a Michelin…read moreaward (although I wouldn't be opposed to it ). My rating is based on this dish the avocado toast and arugula salad and that for the price, which is reasonable... I can't imagine a better version of avocado toast. This does lead me to believe that their attention to detail and their menu probably transfers to their other menu items. The service and ambiance is exceptional as well. Highly recommend

They are not cheap, but the ingredients are fresh and free of garbage and dyes, so for me, the extra few dollars is worth it, and they have an app / rewards program, which helps.

Lena was incredibly helpful and friendly -- she took the time to answer all my questions and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Inside was nice and cool which is great especially for these hot summer days. The Playa bowls were delicious. We got the CocoPower bowl, Playa Passion Bowl, and Goldie mango bowl. All of the bowls were made delicious by Lena. The fruits and flavors were definitely refreshing. It's rare these days to encounter such genuine customer service. Definitely a 5-star visit -- highly recommend! It definitely meets the macros for a post workout meal!

Its toppings were granola, banana, pineapple, coconut flakes, and honey. It did not give fresh. It gave pre made and frozen beforehand. The pineapple was like the ones in the Dole fruit cups. We also ordered the turkey club sandwich. It was enough for 2 people. It was ok. Maybe I ordered the wrong things? The service was great so I may give them another try...

Awesome açaí!! Ever since first trying açaí in Brazil and LOVING it, I searched for it in the US…read morebut have never really liked any of our options. It's typically not the right consistency and taste of true açaí... usually tastes like other fruit juices mixed with a powder that might have some açaí in it. But this is not like that, it tastes a lot more like true Brazilian açaí. I also love the other options they have for a bowl (or smoothie) base and the fruit is all super fresh.
