“My recent visit to Mango Mango Dessert in Livingston was an absolute delight! After a hearty dinner at home, we couldn't resist the temptation for dessert, especially after hearing so much about their mango delights. The variety of mango-infused desserts, drinks, and cakes left us spoilt for choice. We indulged in their tantalizing mango creations and were not disappointed! The ambiance was cozy, and the service was good. We're already planning our next visit to try out more of their mouthwatering offerings. Highly recommended for all mango lovers out there! Check out some of the captures we took during our visit.“
“I had heard great things about this place from several people and had to try it. They were right, there were many dishes we wanted to try, and the ones we got were excellent. My daughter got the Short Hills Sandwich (Steak, fried eggs, sauteed onions & cheese). I got the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl (Quinoa brown rice, fresh sliced avocado, cucumber, carrots, soybeans, fresh scallion, fresh ginger, sesame seed - I said no to the avocado). It was too much food, and I couldn't finish it, but my daughter did that for me.The service was super nice. The place was very crowded and busy but they were keeping up.The place is kind of a small diner and a diner-like selection. I suspect they could do a lot more business with more space and parking.The image is of a watermelon radish, which they used as garnish on both our dishes. They have radish texture but only a faint radish taste. Very large, 5 or 6 cm.Vegetarian options: There are several, in the way that any diner these days has several vegetarian options. It's clearly not a specialty of theirs, but you absolutely have non-meat choices.Parking: They have a lot, but it isn't large nor immediately adjacent, but it's not far. There's not a lot of street parking or municipal lots in that area so I'm not sure what we would have done if their lot was full. It was Easter so maybe I'd park in a spot reserved for some business that was obviously not open.Kid-friendliness: There were lots of kids when we were there.“
“Had this delivered to work at my coworker's suggestion. It arrived on schedule and our three orders were packed neatly. There are tons of vegan/vegetarian options on this menu! I had the vegan Nashville hot chicken, add red onion and drizzled onion, on a whole wheat wrap. It was satisfying but not too heavy. The sauce has a nice spice to it. My friends also loved their buffalo poppers, falafel salad, and zucchini sticks.“
“We always have a good experience here. We really don't have any other local ice cream spots and if we have to have only Haagen Dazs we will take it! They have lots of flavors and the store is always kept clean. I do wish they sold soft serve but their ice cream is great so I don't mind too much“
“I have been here with couple of friends recently, good place for having a diy ice cream , great options and toppings. The place is cozy and have ample amount of seating for people with outside seating as well. The service is good and people are welcoming. Would recommend.“
“Stopped in yesterday ordered my oatmeal bowl it was delicious! Luanne and Gionna are very polite and helpful with recommendations !! The prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend stopping in and trying a bowl or smoothie and toast ??“
“This is a review of my pickup experience from tonight, 4/17/24. I placed an order on the app for pickup. My son went to pick it up. By the time I came home and looked at the order, there were no utensils, napkins, ketchup, and straws. Worse yet, my lemonade was missing. I called the manager, and he apologized, and asked me to go back to pick up the lemonade. When I arrived, I asked to speak to the manager. He came quickly, and apologized. I told him all the utensils were missing. He said there was an option on the app...I told him I would show him the receipt if needed. He said no need. I also said clearly your drinks were all behind the counter. No way could the staff packing my order would miss the lemonade. He again apologized, and asked me to wait. He came back with 2 coupons for a free shake and a free chicken burger. I said that was not necessary, but such a nice gesture. We ordered from this location several times, and nothing like this has happened before. I do think the manager is on top of the store and his staff. Hopefully this will never happen again to any other patrons.“
“I've been wanting to stop in at Tropical Smoothie Cafe for a while now. Today, I stopped in for a really good lunch. They have a special where if you buy food, you can add a smoothie for $4.99. I ordered the Southwest breakfast wrap, which is made with chicken, eggs, and spinach. To go along with that, I ordered the Sunshine Smoothie which is made with mango, pineapple, orange juice, and banana. The sandwich was good, but the smoothie was outstanding! I ordered takeout, but there are tables for indoor dining as well. This cafe is located in a strip mall with some other food places on Eisenhower Pkwy, right off Rt 10. Easy parking and good lunch spot if you're looking for something different.“
“First Option Juice Hub has the most flavorful smoothies and juices! Everything there is super fresh. Their salads and soups are top notch as well! Everything is so delicious you’ll hardly believe how healthy it all is. And the staff is so friendly and helpful. Go visit them and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!Vegetarian options: So many vegetarian options!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and dairy-free optionsParking: There is a free lot behind the restaurant as well as ample free parking on the street.Kid-friendliness: There is an extensive kids menu in addition to all of the tasty adult options.“

“This place is, with out a doubt, the best Acai/Chia pudding place I have ever been to. On top of that, the chia pudding recipe tis shop is using is something distinctly different from other chia pudding I've had. It's blue, and tastes far more awesome than normal chia pudding.I accidentally discovered this little shop while visiting a friend near Montclair. I live in NYC - caught a train to Montclair Bay St station, and wandered up the block from there looking for some treats to share with friends.Jackpot.I don't live near Montclair, and this location is not convenient to me. However, I now go out of my way to visit this shop whenever I'm passing through the nearby train line.Worth it.If you (please) bring boomchia to downtown Brooklyn, I would eat there everyday. As it stands I'll have to settle for once a week.“
“Cynthia(owner) is attentive to details and her customers. Food is great. I have not heard a single negative comment. Everyone walks out with a smile. A real treat for a meal/meal replacement, a snack or a sweet treat. Don’t miss out on this gem. My personal favorite is the Peanut Butter Chocolate Colin. Hard to “
“Greenlife has a foundation in the old-time health store from the 70's. Staff know how to answer questions and can advise on some of the best items to help customers. Wednesdays are $ 1:00 for a shot of wheat grass, can't be better. They also sell Cabbage juice in a glass container; other health stores had no idea of this product.“
“This lounge style coffee, tea and health café offers smoothies, teas and all varieties of coffee, including bourbon barrel aged! They have wallpaper that's reminiscent of a parlor in a Victorian home, making for a cool vibe. The space is big, with huge windows, offering tons of sunlight. It's the hub of the 900 block, across the street from what's known as the best crystal shop in the northeast, Gemtuitive, and the loose tea and herb shop, Sheep Hill Herbals. Also, Uptowne Antiques is right next door.Be sure to grab a coffee, a tea, or a smoothie, along with a snack, and relax a while, then shop the 900 block!“
“The ABSOLUTE BEST Acai bowls in the world!Here's my go to: Mango, Pinapple, Kiwi, Hazelnut butter, and for the bases; Acai (the best made blend ever) and banana whip base. OMG, it's that good. So good for you too.The only thing sweeter than the bowls is the owner Michelen who has a heart of gold, down to earth, and spreads the magic to all of her staff and customers.“
“I always order the veggie/lentils bowl and sometimes replace the falafel with grilled chicken. However I have ordered many different food from cheese burger to the various smoothies and juice. Everything I’ve ordered here tastes excellent and the price is ridiculously good for the food. Most importantly, the people in the Montclair restaurant are so nice and welcoming. Love em!“
“I have been a regular customer at The Juice House for years. It's such a nostalgic place for me personally and I know it means a lot to the local community as well - truly a staple of downtown Garwood. The ambiance is very modern and trendy with lots of seating options to enjoy your food in-store. There's also lots of outdoor seating, though not the most relaxing option because it's along a busy road/intersection. When I'm not with friends, I usually take my food to go, which is always a quick and easy process. I can easily say that The Juice House makes the best bowls (acai, pitaya, coconut, banana - you name it)! What really sets JH apart is their organic GRAWNOLA - it's so tasty and soft. The bowls have the perfect proportions of base, GRAWNOLA, and toppings, so every bite is flavorful. My go-to order is the Chocoberry Acai Bowl with honey, which truly hits the spot every time. Some other favorites are the CocoNutter Coconut Bowl and the JH Acai Bowl, but you truly cannot go wrong with whatever you order! The Juice House employees are always friendly and helpful, and the owner, Arielle, is extremely front-facing and responsive - so awesome! It's been so great watching their journey from the beginning, especially now that they're franchising. And throughout those years, the food has stayed consistently amazing. Definitely recommend stopping here, you won't be disappointed!“
“Glad I came here instead of getting Tacobell ? Christian was so kind and patient as I was pretty indecisive! He helped me figure out a salad to start with and suggested alternative toppings based on my preferences. Everything looks clean, ingredients are über fresh, and the portion size is amazing. The huge windows and music was an added bonus. Would truly recommend to everyone!I got the Cilantro Lime Chicken salad (several adjustments made) with a Detox smoothie on the side.“
“So happy I stumbled upon this new juice/smoothie spot! All juices and smoothies are made fresh and taste amazing! The owner is so friendly and let me try different juices. I highly recommend this place if you’re craving fresh, healthy juices and smoothies!!“
“My first time here. I’ve lived right above this place and for the first time I went downstairs went through the front door and I was greeted by which I assume the owners daughter she was really sweet and nice and gave me options because I told her it was my first time and so I got the protein shake which I finished in 2.5 seconds and I ordered the grand slam bowl and it’s so much better then playa bowls it feels and looks healthier will def be coming back everything was so good and soooo tasty!“
“One of them ones! If you were ever on the fence about trying whole vegan cooking, this is where you want to try it! The owner of Blueberry is the chef, and he is the truth. Their dinner plates are large, but you can eat it all and not feel the slightest bit sluggish. Loyal customer base. I have to try their smoothies. Do yourself a favor and try their rasta pasta or their pasta with whole mushroom meatballs. Their dinner plates come as is with 2 predetermined sides.“
“As my first time at the store I was impressed with the service. Both associates were very attentive, quick and efficient with my order. I got the 8th Ave Acai Bowl with kiwi added to it. That bowl stood no chance against my spoon and stomach combo. Definitely will be looking for the local one in my area as I'm currently traveling out of state.“
“The ice cream was delicious and not super high on sugar as in many other stores. The seating area inside is ok, few chairs, dimmed light, so we prefered to take away. Staff was fast and professional. We ordered Mango Tango and Mr Kinder, we rate both excellent. Also ordered mango bubble tea which was average.“
“From the 1st sip I decided I was going to be a regular. Naija girl here and loving it!! The ambiance and aesthetics make me feel right at home. Just come here. I don’t get my juices from anywhere else in the neighbourhood.UPDATE: I wish I could leave 10 stars tbh. I finally tried the avocado salad and when I tell you I was daydreaming about this salad hours after I finished it … if the menu stays like this and/or improves even (idk how it’s already so fantastic) I’m a customer for LIFE. Those spicy injera chips are now constantly in my house. I’m new to NJ otherwise I would have everyone I know coming here. Simply so fresh and delicious.“
“Always a pleasant time! I have been in this location several times, and always have fun with the kids and manager working there. Not sure why a few people here have complaints, I guess they don't remember their first jobs when they were younger? Perhaps they just grew up spoiled and didn't need to learn the valuable lessons one gets from putting in hard work and dealing with a not-always-friendly public? Teens are nervous when they are in the process of learning a new job, and should be given encouragement and support. New Prov team, you rock!“
“I love this place. The owner (I'm assuming she's the owner) is super nice and dedicated. I love that she is interested in good health, I actually learned something from her during my first visit there. The food is good, the sourdough bread is great. I recommend this place.“
“DELICIOUS FOOD!!!I ordered a panini with egg, cheese, onion and tomatoes since I don’t eat meat and they were able to accommodate me! My boyfriend ordered the strawberry and banana crepe and he cleaned his plate. Would definitely come back and highly recommend if are looking for tasty food!!!“
“Seriously the best shake spot in town, Leo does an excellent job serving up customers needs and always gives out positive energy. Her staff is new and take on the same rolls as if the business were their own. As a continuous customer, I always recommend this here (see photo). Such an excellent combo for me since I am doing a few cycling races every weekend and need a boost of help. Cheers!“
“Incredible smoothies. Super fresh fruit and vegetables.All the protein powders you could want, although $4 is a lot for added protein.The owner was so sweet, he gave us extra shots of ginger.This is probably the most healthy place to eat in this whole town.“
“I am a frequent customer at this West Caldwell location. I must say everyone is extremely pleasant and nice, especially a young gentleman by the name of Cam. He will always greet you with a smile. He’s friendly, personable, patient and takes pride in his work. He makes your bowl perfect.“
“I ate here for the first Time today and coming from New York it was hard to find a great Jamaican restaurant here in Jersey but the food was amazing well seasoned. The establishment was clean the customer service was phenomenal. I felt welcomed from the moment I entered the door. If you haven’t tried this place I suggest you do you will not be disappointed I can’t wait to try more stay blessed“
“Cute place with friendly service. Sells bubble tea, milk tea, smoothies, tea, Japanese soda drink I forget the name of. They also have bottled water and coffee. And acai bowls. There is also refrigerated stuff with things like mochi in it. They also sell Asian snacks and non food items like stationary stickers, stuffed animals.“
“They are insanely generous with their toppings which most bubble tea spots in the area are not (gong cha in Montclair, kung fu tea in Montclair, cozy tea in cedar grove/verona border). Worth taking the drive to the mall just to grab a bubble tea from here.“
“I have been to this perfect little neighborhood gem several times over the years, and I have never been disappointed. Many customers are greeted by name as they clearly have many regulars. The ambiance is nothing fancy, but you will feel comfortable. As for the food you really cannot go wrong. The soups are very popular. The tomato basil is perfection, and they serve it with an exceptional roll. Every crepe I have had, both savory and sweet, has been delicious. Also, they are huge! Served with a nice green salad, this is a deceptively filling dish. I've also tried the tabooli, which was excellent. I highly recommend this cafe for a casual and delicious meal.“
“Yesterday we stopped by for the first time. Sharon is such a sweet heart. The customer service was great and so were our smoothies. We got the defense and added kale to it and also got the Kobe. Both drinks 10/10. They also sells juices by the gallon. This will definitely be our new go to spot!“

“Hello, first and foremost I would like to say the service here is excellent. There are many healthy low calorie high protein options available here. Personally, I love the protein waffle it is a very filling option. The prices are also pretty affordable. There are more options beyond just protein drinks; there are tea bombs, fruit bowls, and donuts.“
“Great spot with a friendly staff and good food! Even was digging the Arabic music that was playing. Tried the açaí bowl (one size and base toppings), chicken empanada, and 2 different energy balls. Highly recommended and will definitely stop in again when I’m in the area.“
“This is my second time ordering from juice hub and I love it here! Everything is so fresh. My second time ordering I went into the store and Pete helped me. He was so friendly and explained a little bit about the ingredients used in their bowls. I will be back!“
“Every single time I have ordered from here, it is always correct and as delicious as the first time. My go-to drink is usually the fruit smoothies - Mango Magic is my favorite. However, I've switched it up with other smoothies on the menu, too.I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Ranch and Hot sauce on the side (to avoid a soggy wrap and I can proportion how much sauce I want in it). In the picture, it's the Acai Berry Boost smoothie.I don't live by and have never gone to this location. My brother-in-law helps pick up my order whenever he has a smoothie craving and I always know what to get. I appreciate how the order is always fresh, and smoothies are always delicious.One day, I'll swing by here. Until then, thank you.“
“Vegetarian options: Acai bowls, oatmeal, pitaya bowls, smoothies, granola, nut butters etc, it's mostly all vegetarian options!Parking: Lots of spot in back lot and there's a backdoor to get inKid-friendliness: Yes very kid friendly! I've brought my kid before and plenty of seats available“
“I'd heard good things about Montclair nutrition and decided to try it out. The vibes are set as soon as you step in the door the space is super trendy and playing cool music and decorated beautifully. I got the birthday cake shake which was absolutely delicious and the donuts which were absolutely insaneee. The more amazing part is that all of this taste so good and is low sugar and low fat but packed with protein...what kind of sorcery is this? If you're looking for a sweet treat that won't make you feel guilty after, definitely go to Montclair nutrition!“

“I wish I went here sooner. I love everything about this place. There’s plenty of food options. They have a sandwich and wrap station , taco station , pizza station , a fresh salad and bowl station and fruits and desserts. There’s plenty of chips and drinks to choose from. This is a great lunch spot. I had a “Livingston” pizza which had bacon, pineapple , and Gorgonzola cheese and it was real delicious. I also tried an “Essex” sandwich which was chicken cutlet , spicy ranch and tomato on Focaccia bread toasted nicely in the oven. Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of seating. Very friendlyHelpful people working. I will be back for sure to try many more items.“
“I finally got to try this place after hearing many good things, it did not disappoint! My daughter and I shared the 3 cheese and prosciutto toast and it was delicious! The roasted garlic onion jam gave it a ton of flavor and the jalapeno toast added just the right amount of heat. Service was friendly and accommodating, and the seating area was bright and clean. I need to come back to try the avocado toast with an egg soon!“
“100% my guilty pleasure. I was introduced to this place by a friend and am excited to stop in for an order of peach oolong tea with bubbles whenever I'm in the vicinity. The ambiance of each place is somewhat different, with some being home-in-the-walls and some having a place to sit and drink but rest assured no matter which one you go to, the drinks will be delicious. Service is typically fast.“
“PROS:- This place makes their bases (which they have numerous kinds of) right in front of you. It's not premade like Frutta Bowls or Playa Bowls. So you can customize it completely.- The portions are HUGE especially compared to Frutta Bowls. I much rather have more of the base (which is difficult to make at home) than the slices of fruit on top (which is easy to do at home).- Krystina and Shanel made our bowls and were so warm and patient -- explaining all of their options and even giving us free samples of their sugar free peanut butter which they grind right in front of you (this was the topping we chose -- highly recommend).- They even have a BOGO on Wednesdays if you use the app. You can bet we will be there again this week for it.CONS:- Acai bowls in general are not cheap. But I've made many acai bowls myself at home, and those 100% acai packets from Trader Joe's are a pain to open and work with. So, to me, the cost is well worth the hassle from making the base at home.We've found our new acai bowl spot in Livingston. Thank you for being here Rush Bowls =)“
