    Detox Smoothie
    Dorian H.

    Love this place, & this location in Shenandoah in particular. Amazing customer service & very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable of products & eager to help their customers. Always welcoming with greetings & smiling faces. But warning, you will become addicted to their entire menu as I have. Keep up the great service guys, our neighborhood enjoys this place so much!!

    ACAI BOWL
    Andrea C.

    Açaí bowls here are a must! You can definitely taste all the fruits in the açaí base. You get generous toppings as well. It's a bit hard to get into sometimes as it is quite frozen, but we enjoy it every time and are always satisfied. Seating inside is comfortable enough for a lunch or breakfast spot. Staff has been helpful to any of our questions. Haven't had any issues here.

    Great smoothie & great service!
    Anthony K.

    We stopped here for the first time, seeing the good Yelp reviews. There is such a good variety (Bonus: calories posted on each one!!!). The manager, Lexi, spent quite some time helping me pick out what smoothie I wanted. She knew the menu well and thank goodness she was working when I came in. The size of the smoothies are impressive. They are all quite large, which is good in this Houston heat! I have found my new go-to place!

    Chicken Pesto Panini

    Came here for a quick lunch in between a professional conference break out session- haven't had their food before but glad that I made the choice to choose their chicken and pesto panini!!!! So good and flavorful! Not bad for the 1st time- I will definitely return!

    I enjoyed a delicious and refreshing smoothie, Sunrise Sunset, at Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Owners Rakesh and Gabby were delightful and knowledgeable hosts. For a plethora of healthy dining choices, stop by and see them soon...and tell them the Mad Sausage King, Michael Clearman, sent you.

    We grabbed some lunch to go and we really enjoyed the ones we chose: 1) Hummus veggie wrap: If you're in a mediterranean healthy mood, then I recommend this one. It comes with hummus, smashed avocado, pepper jack cheese, romaine, kale spinach, rice, black beans and red onions and tomatoes. It's pretty filling overall so you don't feel guilty after eating it. A pretty healthy option (5/5) 2) Tropical chicken salad sandwich: This is my favorite one. It comes with pulled chicken, cashews, roasted pineapple salsa and jerk mayo with romaine spinach. It's chicken salad packed with much more flavor. I wish the cashews were sliced smaller cuz they were a bit chunky for me, but other than that, I really enjoyed the sandwich overall (5/5) Overall, prices are decent as you are paying for healthy options with fresh ingredients. Credit cards are accepted and there's plenty of parking.

    Great sized smoothies!!
    Amandalynn H.

    These smoothies never disappoint! They taste so natural and fresh! The fruits are never lacking in flavor! It is a little disappointing that there's only one size but the price is great considering how much smoothie you get! I've also never had a chunky smoothie from here. They are always blended to give a great consistency. The staff here went above and beyond. They were so nice and made such a short experience so enjoyable. (Shout out to Rakesh!!) Love this place! I loved their new star fruit flavor!

    This tropical smoothie does not honor yelp rewards. I had to purchase and use the app to gain rewards towards a free smoothie for a later date. No misunderstanding on my part but thanks for replying.

    RUN. DO NOT GO HERE…read more This location has been completely abandoned by the owner/manager. They purposely leave a skeleton crew of a single teenager, informed them that it is their policy to NEVER accept returns or complaints. If you ask them to make an Açaí Bowl, they will hand you a bowl of white yogurt base with random fruits available mixed in. If you tell them there is no Acai in the base since it is white and not PURPLE, they will threaten to call the police. If you ask them to blend it again, they will say their blenders blades are too dull for a different result. They don't answer the phone. Essentially the new owner came in, purchased the location, and is trying to extract all profit possible before shuttering it and closing it permanently. The touch screens are DIRTY AND STICKY. The surfaces of their work area are absolutely filthy with sticky residue from never being cleaned. And all the while the OWNER/MANAGER is making one single teenager figure it all out. They're basically paying them minimum wage to deal with all the complaints due to BAD MANAGEMENT. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SICK OR HAVE THEM THREATEN TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN THEY MAKE SOMETHING INCORRECTLY.

I went in with one poor kid running it obviously not trained and very timid. My wrap was horrible and even when asked for a refund on email I heard nothing from Clean Juice. I felt badly for the boy and this is the fault of the business owner. This will shut its doors very soon as nobody goes in and there isn't anyone that runs this business properly. You can tell nobody cares. Sorry but deleting the app and never again! I am done!

You will not be able to find a piece of lint on the floor. Also very friendly and shared a ton of interesting stories! I remembered maybe 10ish years ago acai bowls were in trend. Then it faded? I never tried it while it was in trend because I was a college student and it was one of those moments where you decide to spend $12 on a protein/carb/veggie meal or on an acai bowl that will hopefully keep you full until your next meal. Fast forward and I'm still not in my career yet lol. Making residency salary and having this is moreso as a treat. It's sort of a healthier way to look at dessert? Thicker than a smoothie. Not sweet like Gelato. Can alter it to have higher protein or sweetier depending on what you choose. There are a lot of options and fiber rich. The presentation is pretty. I do think you have to be in the mood for this. My friend loves acai bowls. Me? It's not something I would crave but I'll be down to have it again if my friend wanted it.

There were shops popping up on every corner, and while I always loved acai bowls, they were pretty much the same no matter where you went. And after leaning pretty hard into this trend for a while, I reached acai over-saturation. Fast forward to recent times and I was excited to check out Nautical Bowls when it opened. The menu looked pretty unique, and it had been quite a while since my last bowl. Each weekend would come and go and I would still manage to not stop in. Today, I was sitting on the couch about to doze off. I had two choices: give into the nap Gods, and probably set myself up for a poor night of sleep ahead, or get up and finally make that trip to Nautical Bowls. I chose the latter, and as I mentioned above, I'm so glad I did. I walked in and stared at the menu for an awkwardly long time. Each item looked appealing and it seemed like they were all only 1-2 ingredients different from the last. I considered even building my own, but that thought was fleeting. Let's just roll with one of the chosen items. There's always a future visit where we can get crazy with something custom. So I went with the Blue Bay Bowl: Blue Majik, Açaí, Coconut, Spirulina Chia, Granola, Banana, Strawberries, Coconut Butter Crumbles. I asked what Blue Majik and Spirulina were: I was told both had a coconut cream flavor. I was also told Spirulina was an algae. That almost swayed me away, but I didn't want to be a basic b. Algae, you say? I aint scared. It turns out, this bowl met every single aspect of the fantasy I had in my head when I was debating between taking a nap and coming here. It was amazing. Every bite. It definitely was not your grandmother's acai bowl, either. There was a lot going on and I loved every aspect of it. And as promised, there was no shortage of coconut cream. I will absolutely be back because I want to try pretty much everything on the menu. Welcome to the 'hood, Nautical Bowls!

I also want to recognize Patrick, who was working in the back stocking/unloading items. He took the time to go check for a product for me, came back personally, and let me know it was unavailable. I appreciated the effort and professionalism. Unfortunately, the experience at checkout completely changed the tone of my visit. The cashier, Marilyn, never greeted me, never acknowledged me when I spoke to her, and never thanked me at the end of the transaction. From beginning to end, there was not a single word exchanged from her side. When she handed me my receipt, her demeanor felt dismissive and honestly unpleasant. Idk what that attitude was about but imagine how quickly this could've gone downhill had I handled her just as rudely as she handled me. What stood out most is that there was no negative interaction beforehand that would have explained the behavior. Even if a greeting was somehow missed, there is no reason a customer should leave without at least hearing "thank you." One employee's poor customer service can easily overshadow the positive work of others, and that's exactly what happened here. Whole Foods needs to do better with consistency in customer experience, especially at the register where customers leave with their final impression of the store.
