★★★☆☆ 3.0 Chelsea Clanton · Apr 2024

I guess this place is hit or miss. Usually fresh and yummy, with orders being made correctly and fulfilled quickly. But it can also be under-filled and chemical tasting. I guess it depends on what time of day you order. This afternoon, I paid $20 for a nutella bowl that was mostly granola, a little bit of acai, and a few slices of fruit that tasted like perfume. Unfortunately, this seems to be a theme with most late day orders. If you want the best value, I highly recommend buying in the morning or trying a different location.

Fantastic customer service, quick to get my order ready and made!

★★★★★ 5.0 Luke Matarazzo · Jun 2018

Love the decor this place has, it looks great and fits right in with down town Asbury. The bowl I got (Electric Mermaid) was delicious and all the ingredients were fresh. I got it without coconut flakes so I'm not sure how that would affect the taste of the bowl. I don't think you can really get a bad bowl here. Just find one with fruits you like and you won't be disappointed. They do however drizzle most bowls with honey, so if you're looking for a less sweet and sugary bowl think about asking for no honey. But that honey really does taste great on the bowl and I didn't find it too overwhelming or sugary.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 So Magnolia · Jul 2025

Felt like a woke McDonald's. We didn't make it much past the door for a quick check of the menu before deciding this place was not for us. Too much white, too much bright, too many customers using outdoor voices indoors , and the obligatory dog in a stroller. Places like this are what ruined the vibe in our hometown Ybor City, Tampa...much like our experiences during the gentrification, and eventual loss, of Ybor, none of that seemed to bother a certain type of customer, and that's who was there... en force. It felt inauthentic to us - we're glad we moved on, and would suggest the same to anyone looking for an atmosphere that isn't quite so sanitized.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rima Samman · Jul 2020

I sincerely love this particular spot because they make fresh juices and their customer service is always on point. Never a long wait. In addition they have juicing for fasting and several times the owner has tweaked the juices to match my needs.
