BEST SHAVE ICE outside of HAWAII!! It's pure perfection! I had my favorite since I was 5 so I know…read morewhen people do it good or bad and this is the best! Coconut, blue raspberry, with ice cream on the bottom and condensed milk cream. My 4 year old had rainbow of course cause it's so pretty! As we were still eating the shave ice, he was asking me when are we coming back because it's so good! As a Kanaka Maoli I always question every company that says they represent anything of Hawaii if they're not from there or of Kanaka bloodline. But this couple not only made their shave ice taste like my favorite childhood memories, they embody the true Aloha spirit. Aloha means love and the love they showed for my family brought tears to my eyes. Here's how my visit went: (Let me just start by saying I had forgotten my wallet that morning before driving up to Bradenton and took a card from my husband wallet when I dropped him off to use that day.) We walked in, greeted by the super friendly husband and wife owners. We tell them we're from Hawaii and have a family member that owns her own shave ice business back in Hawaii, so there's high expectations, . We talk story as we order our food, my card gets declined. They run it again, and again declined. I take my son to my car to see if I can by some miracle find another card or some cash, which I didn't. I find no cash, no other cards and realize the card I had was 3 months past expired! I started crying out of embarrassment of the situation and how it might appear to the lovely owners and my son of course was crying because I had no money to pay for his shave ice. The husband came out and told me not to worry about it and handed me my shave ice, saying they just didn't want to see my son cry. My husband sends me a picture of his card to see if they can process payment that way. I walk inside to ask and was told no they were unable to process the payment that way but they'll make my son's rainbow order anyways because again they don't want to see him cry! The wife tells me her own personal story and tried to comfort me, the stranger who walked in with no money. I thank them profusely and tell them I'll be back to pay! The wife looks me straight in my eye, smiles and tells me to take care and have a wonderful day! This right here is the personification of the Aloha Spirit! You don't have to trust someone to show them love especially when you believe they'll never do anything to make it right with you. They didn't know me, they didn't trust me, for all they knew I just came in there to screw them over, but they saw a mom and her son and took care of us from the bottom of their brilliant hearts! It took me an hour round trip but I came back and paid and they honestly at first didn't believe I had come back. The husband even tried not to let me tip them for their amazing service! Thank God for this couple who chose to show us patience and grace and comfort when I needed it for my weary child! Wonderful time here! I'll be back for the hospitality and my favorite shave ice! Also the place is very beautiful inside, like a little tropical party! Thank you to the owners for being such wonderful people! We really appreciate you both! Side note: Don't let the rain or cold weather stop you from stopping by. We waited over 10 minutes for the rain to let up so we could go inside! I'm so happy we waited it out!

Why is this place in business???.... definitely lives up to the name. BARE ... I can see why this…read moreplace has the ratings it does. BELIEVE THEM. 0 stars across everything. For starters I ordered a berry smoothie without chocolate protein. It took a little over 10mins to make it. Once I got it, it HAD chocolate protein in it. Super nasty, I returned it and asked to be made without protein. Once it came back out it tasted nasty again, flavorless, and expired. I advised the workers there, the "manager" "lead" came out and stated nothing was expired on their end, and that the ladies there were training which is why they made a mistake. I told he/she I don't like it, it's nasty. They stated we're going to call the "owner". When they came back out they stated - "unfortunately because we already remade it for you, and nothing on our end is expired, we can't refund you. " - Instead of arguing I just threw it out infront of them and other customers. Waste of time and money. Never again. Not a place I'd ever recommend, for any location. Save yourself and go down the street to Toastique where the service is 100000% better and the juices/smoothies and bowls are phenomenal.

I got a sunshine state which was ok, however, my fiancé ordered a berry bomb minus the chocolate protein that was horrible. The drink was initially made with the chocolate protein so we kindly asked them to remake it. The revised drink still tasted absolutely sour, but also bland. After already asking for a first revision of the drink we decided to ask for a refund for it. The manager on staff apologized for the first mix up stating the two girls were training so they messed up (training on their own while the manager was off the floor, in a back room?). The manager then stated that the owner would then need to be called to see if the refund could be processed and quickly came back and stated no as they had no error on their part. Despite there not being an "error" with the SECOND drink, there was no concern or effort given to trying to rectify a clearly disgusting drink as the manager noted that other customers have made similar complaints. I wouldn't set foot inside another Bare Blends location and if you're near the Sarasota one you may be better off going into the farmers market on a Saturday or getting a refreshing drink in Whole Foods right across the way.

I was definitely caught off guard and the moment I opened the box I knew I was in for a treat... that said... you know what they say... you never know what you're gunna get. I opened the box to find that it included ice packs to ensure the chocolate didn't melt while on the way to my doorstop - much appreciated. Inside was the most beautiful packaging ever. It was branded, bright green, and even included a one sheeter on what each chocolate was. Once it was all unwrapped I was blown away at how incredibly goregous the chocolates were. I stood in awe for a minute and it took me a hot second to decided which one to try first. I'm not going to list out every single one but my favorites were the tiramisu, sea salt caramel truffle, pistachio, tahitian carmel, and strawberry. I made sure treasure each one and I'm still dreaming about them. If you're looking for a lovely gift for someone, or even looking to treat yourself, you won't be disappointed, I promise.
