Love this place! This has been my new go-to for lunches. The smoothies are delicious and I love all the tropical flavor combos. Empanadas are good, I really like the spinach and mushroom one.

Tried the empanadas, and they were delicious! The fillings are very flavorful, and the yucca/corn dough (GF!) is good. Grab one (or three) the next time you walk by.

LOVE this place for smoothie bowls!! My favorite is the Tropical Healer bowl. Ingredients are fresh and clean. Staff is really nice and attentive to my various special requests. I have also ordered it via Postmates/Grub Hub on many occasions and it is great delivered as well.

When you sip on their sweet smoothies you immediately set sail in the saporous seas of sweet fruits and bussin bowls.The best part is even though everything tastes good it’s healthy! That’s right! If you have a cold they have a smoothie for that! You need to build your microbiome up they have a smoothie for that! You need to get your multivitamins, you guessed it, they got a smoothie for that!They also carry different empanadas if you’re feeling pekish and craving some heat.

This place is near my condo and it opened fairly recently but in my observation is struggling to get the type of customer traction it probably wants. It's very good though. My initial thoughts on it was there wasn't enough variety to the menu but they added stuff to it and what they have now they do well. There isn't much to the ambiance but they make a good effort with what they do have.

Yummy! I came here with my cousins once I saw they recently opened. We don't have an acai and smoothie bar in the neighborhood, so I had high hopes for Paradise Port, and they definitely met my expectations!The interior space is pretty simple, but it has a cute nautical theme and is very cute. Plus, it's more grab & go style food anyways. The menu is filled with options, as well as ways to customize your order with things like protein powder, cacao nibs, granola, and more. I ordered the berry bowl, the base is açai, blueberries, strawberries, banana, & coconut milk. The bowl is topped with granola, honey, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, and goji berries. It was so refreshing and everything tasted super fresh! I will say, for an acai bowl, it was more of a smoothie consistency, so I would maybe ask for extra ice next time to thicken it up. This specific bowl was $11.25, but most on the list are $9.90 (I'm not sure why this one is more). Great experience over all, and will definitely be back for more!

pretty okay. i personally did not have a good experience. i got two chicken empanadas and the sunset smoothie. i paid about $20 for all of it. the empanadas were reasonably priced but incredibly chewy, not really stuffed, and one of them had a dead knat on it. the sunrise smoothie was DELICIOUS and great for a hot day. unfortunately, mine had plastic pieces in it that i kept finding as i drank it. the cafe itself was gorgeous. the theme was very pretty and is definitely somewhere where you could sit with a group of friends and relax on a hot day. the lady working was nice. she prepared everything and personally walked it to us. she was on her phone which was a little awkward since me and another customer were standing by the counter. i spoke up and she got off of it immediately. tldr: i wouldn't waste my money on the empanadas but their smoothies are amazing.
