Awesome experience from the moment we walked in! We were greeted by Desmond who answered questions, gave suggestions and let me taste things to make sure I would like them on my bowl. Everything was fresh and had flavor. I’m excited to go back and try new combos. I was especially impressed by Desmond because you could tell her really cares about customers and about the food. He even made a little smiley face on our açaí bowl 😂. We scarfed the savory bowls down too quickly for a pic. We’ll definitely be back!
I was honestly pretty disappointed in this visit. The atmosphere is so aesthetically pleasing, and the whole idea behind it is just everything I enjoy about eating healthy food. However, the bathrooms were gross. Huuuge turn off for me. On top of that, they weren’t offering poké bowls during my visit and the other food for the bowls looked old and not appetizing. I half enjoyed the bowl I got anyways due to trying to give it a shot.
This was our first time here and decided to order full vegan! To my surprise I didn’t crave for a typical food I order. It was so tasty. The gentleman that helped us and explain how the process work was extremely accommodating which even makes our experience more enjoyable! Definitely recommended and this motivates me to consider vegan food.
The food is fresh and has flavor. This place is great for vegetarians. The atmosphere is clean and open. This is a great place to eat and relax for a few minutes.
It's perfectly serviceable, probably healthy-ish food. I'm glad it's near the university so that kids have easy access to decent nutrition. But honestly, that's about all I felt it has going for it. I was able to customize a bowl to work with my limited Low-histamine/vegan/food allergies diet, but for the price, it just wasn't remarkable in any way.
Additionally, I had ordered two entrée bowls ahead, but when we arrived it was unclear where to pick up our food, and one staff member seemed to be getting ready to hand me a smoothie bowl instead. Upon further investigation, they hadn't started our actual order despite having a good 20+ minutes of time before we got there, and a totally dead restaurant when we arrived. They did do a good job communicating together and working quickly to prepare the food once the mistake was discovered, so that helped raise the rating.
The location was decorated in a cute and trendy way, and I can picture it being a fun place to hang out after classes, especially if the smoothie bowls are any good. It's worth noting that there are three different kinds of seating available (couch, stools, hardback chairs) for those with specific medical needs.
Over all, it wasn't a great first experience, so I doubt we'll make the trip back over unless we're with someone who is very enthusiastic about it...but I'm not saying I refuse to give it another try. For now, my money is on healthy, flavorful, and balanced Zoe's Kitchen for being the more exciting and worthwhile choice with above average staff.
