“Ordered the Charred Chicken Bowl, and I must say, it was phenomenal. It had a flavour that was unbeknownst to me in a bowl. The coconut ranch mixed with the habanero sauce, really do create a unique flavour profile. Also, the chicken marination was something that was brand new to me. Do give it a try!“
“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.“
“This food is hands down 20/10! The customer service was wonderful & they’re super welcoming and friendly. Their Insalata Di Gamberi was perfect! I don’t rave about salads but the shrimp was very flavorful and all the ingredients are FRESH! Their pastas are house made and you can purchase as well. I got the busa pasta with the assorted seafood 20/10! Dessert was tiramisu which is so rich and fresh! Everything is fresh and delicious a REAL GEM I highly recommend & will definitely be back. Franchesca & Juan are great with wonderful energy!Vegetarian options: YesKid-friendliness: Yes“
“The easiest place to eat vegetarian. It’s so flavorful and everything has been 10/10. I tried their cashew ricotta and pear with honey drizzle, amazing. Their lentil soup; amazing. Their cauliflower stew, so good. Everything is amazing here. If you’re looking for a switch up on your diet, I can’t think of a better place. Feels amazing to eat something tasty but not feel bloated and tired after. So good! New favorite local spot“
“Nice atmosphere, really tasty and cheap meals. We had lunch, 2 people for $26 which is great for the area. Very generous plates and burritos, with drink included and little carrot cake for desert. Only if you really eat a lot will be able to finish the plate! Recommend!!“
“Very good option for Latinos, mainly who enjoy yogurt with yuca bread and other things. The prices are not cheap for the product and ingredients but it is not expensive either... It is managed in the middle, the service is always very friendly and the place is small but cozy. I recommend “
“Perfect start to the day! We stayed here 4 or 5 times during our week in NY for breakfast. We tested porridge, acai bowls and smoothies. The "Hell's Kitchen Sink" tastes awesome (with peanut butter and cocoa nips.) The smoothies Boo Berry, Gymbuddy and Energy Boost are each made with almond or coconut milk and protein powder .We loved everything! The service is very friendly and There are only a few seats, so we were there early (about 8 / 9h) and had no problems getting a small table.Now we are back home and miss the delicious bowls!“
“Ate at spice symphony whilst visiting New York and was delighted ! The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, offering suggestions for appetisers and information to assist choosing entrees. The food was lovely, great flavour and good quality. My fish curry was just perfect. I’d certainly recommend.“
“Adorable, delicious and friendly! Ordered their out-of-this-world chocolate chunk cookies for a birthday party and they were a huge hit! Staff is great-- Jolanta in particular has such a wonderful, can-do attitude and is always smiling and welcoming customers by name.This place is a winner!“
“I loved the vibe of the place and the staff were super friendly! Went there with a friend for lunch and although I’ve been to many playa bowl locations, I really liked the decoration and seating in this one. The staff made our bowls quickly and the person working the register was very patient with us as we decided what bowl we were going to get. Always recommend going here for a sweet treat with fresh fruits!“
“Very healthy and fresh selections. I tried their orange juice, iced coffee, and egg and cheese on a bagel. Very satisfying. Also had a blueberry muffin with coffee another time, which was quite good. Looking forward to trying a smoothie. Great vegan, vegetarian, and keto options. Friendly, good service.“
“One of my favorite places on the UWS, Morningside Heights. Dining here for years now and always have a great meal! Food always fresh, delicious and the staff is great. I do enjoy the 72nd Street and Central Park location but I’ll always love the original.“
“Green Symphony is a little gem of a place to eat. Close to Time Sq and Broadway, it’s one of the few small independents that serve great food at reasonable prices. The owners and staff are cheerful and the atmosphere is warmly welcoming. If you’re in NYC, go see for yourself!!!“
“Toastique is one of the best places for a healthy breakfast/brunch.Their menu boasts an enticing selection of gourmet toast, juices, smoothies, bowls and much more, each crafted with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavors.I had the pleasure of trying Greek toast and Tomato Burrata toast, they were both top-notch. The smoothies are too good that revitalized my senses and left me energized.Whether you are a health enthusiast or someone who appreciates good food, Toastique is not to be missed.“
“I highly recommend the sea moss factory! After the first month I can really notice a difference in my energy levels. So many delicious flavors, I really can’t wait to try them all. They have some of the sweetest staff that is willing to help and answer any questions you have at all times. Cant wait to return!“
“I tried the food for the 1st ever and OMG. I got the small plate, 1 protein, 1 grain and 2 sides. It was so delicious and filling. The smoothies are great and juices. I highly recommend trying this place out.It was just remodeled and super clean.“
“An inexpensive spot next to the Marriott Hotel. I came in and had the vesper martini from the happy hour and the burger sliders. The sliders are good despite them being on an English muffin. The bartender was attentive and nice which I enjoyed. The space seems pretty spacious. I would come back to try a full dinner!“
“that SPOT. Justin been holding it down for years with delicious patties (both meat and vegetarian). also the smoothies are the bomb! he only blends fresh ingredients and if you don't know what you like he is more than happy to suggest a good mix. i'm from Crown Heights and this is my go to place in Harlem.Vegetarian options: patties: pumpkin, callaloo, spinach, lentil“
“As someone stuck at home battling COVID and its symptoms, a smoothie from Playa Bowls was a bright spot in my otherwise lousy day. Full of flavor, Playa Bowls has a nice assortment of smoothies and açaí bowls that can serve as both a sweet treat or a nutritious meal. DoorDash allowed me to order from home and get my smoothie in less than 20 minutes, which is a huge win. I'll definitely be back (hopefully in person)!“
“Great place and service. Price is decent for the quality. Both my partner and I went and got a berry bowl and a French vanilla simple shake. I was slurping for every last drop with the shake. It’s just the right amount of sweetness and is smooth. My partner loves the berry bowl, she too voted for 5 stars. Love that there’s no dairy in anything. Definitely will revisit :)“
“Got the power bowl which has protein powder mixed in with the acai. I also got honey which was an extra $1.50 (crazy for a literal drizzle of honey). Ended up being kind of expensive, $17 for an acai bowl is not ideal. But it was good acai. Nice and smooth, good flavor. Liked how there was granola on the bottom layer as well as the top.“
“The Karma Bowl is a dream come true of having multiple Indian dishes in one plate so you can have all those different flavors together! It was so good and had fresh veggies as garnish as well. The garlic bread was also very well-flavored and buttery. This is my top lunch spot for takeout.“
“Me and my crew been coming here for a while . Food is good. Greens are all fresh , But what makes us come back is Maouloud , this gentleman has positive energy all the time and adds vibrance to the store, makes your ordinary salad not boring and had best suggestions.“
“Lyndergy nutrition is the best place for a great protein shake! I am here every morning and the owner Kevin is super sweet and helpful. The mint chocolate chip shake is my absolute favorite! They also have amazing teas, protein waffles and protein donuts. A must try in Lyndhurst!“
“Mucho Mango bowl is fantastic. Tried it for the first time and kept me coming back for more. I also really liked the blueberry granola they add into the bowl. Decor is cool feels like a tropical vibe. Fast friendly service had me in & out. Looking forward to trying their other bowls & smoothies.“

“Very impressed with the freshness of the salad and the quality of the proteins. We ordered 2 trays of steak and they were cooked perfectly. And that honey basil dressing was addicting! Schericse was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating. Whoever said healthy foods are not tasty never tried Honeybrains!“
“Located on 3rd Avenue and 93rd, this store has been around for many, many, years. It's a real neighborhood gem. They are doing the best they can now, but I encourage it's new and established customers to purchase as many items there as they need. Raj, the manager is highly knowledgeable about the products, He knows his customers and caters to us. He is kind and generous and has given special attention to customers in the neighborhood. He visited my friend in the hospital after a major operation, with treats. Food For Health sells a vast variety of items including organic veggies, coffee, tea, dried and canned goods, dairy, smoothies, fresh peanut butter, frozen meals, snacks, spices, vitamins, etc, etc., etc.“
“If you ever want a tasty snack go here. They have all types of smoothie type beverages & fruit bowls. My bowl of choice is the Nica Bowl. It's pretty much like smashed up banana on the lower half of the bowl. The rest of it is filled with slices of strawberry & banana, crunchy granola, tiny bits of chocolate chips, peanut butter & walnuts. Its a small bowl but it'll definitely hold you over til your next meal. It's so good :)“
“Food tastes AMAZING! And what makes it even better? It's healthy! I usually eat junk, fast food, and just have had unhealthy eating habits, but locanut makes it easy, everything in their menu is super healthy. Thanks for getting me back on track to a healthy lifestyle :)“
“Playa Bowls is a great place to grab a quick and healthy lunch. I usually get an açaí bowl; today I got an oatmeal. Everyone who’s helped me has always been helpful, easy going, and happy to make substitutions on a dime (ex: strawberries for blueberries). I cant speak for all locations but Playa Bowls at 27th and 7th in NYC is quick and efficient as well. I can be in and out in less than five minutes, which is crucial for me. I always know I will get quick, accurate service and fresh food, so it’s a frequent lunch destination.“
“Come here often. Depending on the time it’s usually full of students. The Nutella açaí bowl never fails me. Only thing missing from here that others have are the bottled juices and health drink shots. I don’t know why they don’t have them here. Staff is okay.“
“Been going here for the better part of five years and this is the best Just Salad on the upper west side.Big shutouts to Kashif and Gabriella because they take care of their customers from start to finish with great conversations along the way.“
“Such a delicious lunch that was so welcoming after a weekend of eating & drinking Shared the pizza with my two cousins as a starter and had the seasonal salad. My only sadness is that this is an hour away from my house that I won’t be able to frequent more often“
“I order playa almost every Saturday morning and a couple of days at night… today I ordered the same that I do everytime and the bowl looks like the person who made was rushing, the bowl has less fruit, less base, less everything… and is sad because I love this place and now I feel I just waste money :(“
“We ate there regularly during our stay in NY.The service is very friendly and the food is fresh and delicious!We had the best breakfast rolls (special offer) of our lives there: At Mc D it would be the Egg Mc Muffin with bacon.The seating area upstairs was ok, but not very inviting. More is possible here!“
“Their salmon-rice bowl was delicious. Plenty of rice (imo kinda much but not overwhelming, so Good!); nicely sized portion of salmon with seasoning and sauce out of this world—melted in my mouth.Hospitality was wonderful.LOVE the life that sprouts with their decorations and whatnot.“
“Just had one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. As an Italian-American, self-proclaimed sandwich connoisseur from New York- totally vet this place. Try the Vicario's special sandwich! You won't be disappointed. Places like this don't exist anymore!“
“I get a variety of different things. But usually, for me, it's always the same. Want I don't like it when getting those same items daily, The price changes via throughout the day or daily. I will cut back on going to this store. I totally understand prices going up and changing due to the economy, but this throughout the day or daily thing or weekly no. Not having it. Like you guys, but taking a break.“
“This place I hold close to my heart. I may not have time to go there for awhile and whenever I return I'm welcomed with warm words " Welcome home" when I leave " Don't stay gone so long" the food is freshly cooked upon ordering. You will get an earful of healthy advice . When I first started going here way before Covid you could eat in , even though you can't do that now it's worth a visit . Words can't express the appreciation I have for Natural Way Cafe . Go check it out .“
“Best Nutrition and vitamin shop in North Jersey. I have been coming here for over 26 years and the staff are very knowledgeable and very helpful. You will get what you need from vitamins, herbs and most importantly helpful knowledge. I have been recommending June and Kevin for many years.“
“Ordered door dash and this place is so yummy! Right now, I'm sick so I was craving a smoothie to make me feel better. I ordered the fruit smoothie and it was so delicious. For my meal, I ordered a chicken Cesar wrap and it was sooooo good. The wrap is huge! I could barely finish one half. Will definitely be ordering here more often. Loved my smoothie and meal. Thanks for a great meal!!“
“My first time visiting just salad and had an amazing experience. I usually avoid places where you can create your own cause I don’t know the choices but Tivo did an amazing job walking me through the process and making sure I was able to create a delicious meal. He’s super sweet and wrote nice things on my bowl. It felt really nice having such a positive experience after a long day at work. Will definitely be visiting this location more!“
“The black community is blessed to have this health food store here....you can literally go into the store and tell the staff what is going on with your body or health and they have knowledge of what you should be taking to heal or slow down the process of what is going on with you and sometimes enhance more nutrients into your vessel. This store is amazing healing at our door steps.Valerie Dale“

“These guys heard it was hard to get authentic Mexican food in the city and they were like, “bet.” First time I ate here, I wept. The second time, I left a better man. I can’t recommend this place enough, I go here now whenever I need some soul searching.“
“Vegetarian options: They well cater for your needsDietary restrictions: They will cater to your needsParking: Corporate East Midtown Manhattan. You have to pay for parkingKid-friendliness: Perfect for kids to dineWheelchair accessibility: Perfect for wheelchair accessibility“
“We love Playa Bowls. They are very consistent with quality and they’re always delicious. I would love to see owners of this company to create açaí and other types of ice pops for not only adults but for children. My 14 month old granddaughter loves açaí and what a way to introduce healthy eating to young people.“
“Füdgarten is an absolute standout in every way! The service here is consistently warm and amazing, with a team that goes above and beyond to ensure both the food and the customer experience are of the highest standards. I recently made a 2-hour drive just to try their Thursday special, the Aztec Chicken, and let me tell you, it was worth every mile! The chicken was expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection--tender and flavorful. The bed of quinoa it rested on was like a soft cloud, adding a wonderful texture to the dish. Every component of the Aztec Chicken was meticulously crafted, resulting in a dish that's not just delicious but a perfect harmony of ingredients. As a bonus, they surprised me with a complimentary protein cookie, which turned out to be the best I've ever had! I highly recommend Füdgarten to everyone in the area. Whether it's for their exceptional Thursday specials or their overall commitment to culinary excellence, you won't regret giving them a try.“

“Clean, healthy, tasty, and well portioned meals - they don't skimp on the premium protein like most of their competitors. The staff are all very sweet and accommodating, the restaurant is always clean, and the energy is peaceful. Thank you Honeybrain employees!“
“I've missed this place so much. It's individually owned, and the food is great here. The chefs know how to make it healthy and still tasty. I wish I could put this one in my pocket and it travel with me. A must go to when in town.“
