“#50 of 100A complete surprise to find this little gem in the heart of Metuchen. This female owned local smoothie and acai shop was a perfect find for us.We tried the wellness shot " healer" with turmeric, lemon and ginger that was served fast in a little plastic container for $4.Wait times were short even though had other customers waiting.The owner' s mom rang us up, gave us a little history of their start and told us of the history of being 100% vegan for you health conscious folks out there.Absolutely would come back for their protein smoothies that would be great after a run or workout. Plenty of spaces to sit inside or outside when warmer .Return : definitely“
“Inside decor puts out a great atmosphere, food is amazing, pricing is about what you would pay anywhere for good sushi. ? they got a decent drink selection and mochi. Service is pretty quick.

“This is one of the best smoothies I have had in a while. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a good smoothie. It’s very accessible if you are and RU student. As soon as the smoothie went down my throat I immediately smiled with a satisfaction. I 100% vouch for this place. The owner is a great mean. Customer service is amazing.“

“I came across this place after finishing near by shopping. I was greeted with a smile and message. This was my first time coming here and I WILL be back. This place was clean and smelled so delicious. I literally wanted EVERYTHING on the menu. I got some protein donuts and a açaí bowl! Very satisfying and delicious! The protein donuts are made FRESH!“
“I'm lactose intolerant...This place is worth the stomachache. Their Hershey ice cream is to die for. They serve sundaes and cakes and an apple pie cake? Like I've never heard of that, and it's killer. The owners of the place are such kind people and the workers are extremely patient and helpful. I would go here again 100%.“
“Best Japanese place in the area IMO.. so lucky to live within less than a mile! Tried the pork fried dumplings today and they were freshly hand made and delicious, the dipping sauce was like a sweet soy, yum. Their ginger dressing is so good we always get extra for our avocado salad. Favorite roll is the Golden Dragon! Don't skip this place. Also very nice owners and staff, every time!“
“We were staying nearby at the Heldrich Hotel and were looking for a place to have breakfast where there might be some gluten free options. SOL-KALANIT’S was the perfect solution. My wife had tacos (corn, not flour) both mornings we ate there and said they were the best tacos she had eaten since she moved back east from Arizona. I had an omelet both mornings and both were excellent. The dine-in area is small and it can get a bit noisy. But everyone who works there is warm, friendly, and lot’s of fun. The food is a mix of Mexican, Native American, and Mediterranean. If this place were closer to home, we would be regular customers. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I had some time to spare while waiting for my movies to start, so I decided to walk around the food court. A new spot caught my attention. I thought the prices were kind of high, but I was really curious, so I continued on ordering. The cashier was very nice to explain menu items to me. I went with the cheese empanada and a pernil empanada. I'm glad that their empanada are decently sized and that they load up their empanadas. Even the cheese ones had a lot of cheese (please see pic), and they aren't had just air pockets. I thought the pernil embalada was very flavorful. Overall I'm very happy with my orders and would like to try all the different menu items.“
“I cannot get enough of this place! Not only do they have amazing protein donuts, amazing protein shakes, amazing protein coffee and teas but the owners are AMAZING! 10/10 would highly recommend. Good vibes is the perfect name because that’s exactly what you get as soon as you step inside ❤️Dietary restrictions: This is diet friendly. You can order based on your goals.Kid-friendliness: Extremely kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Super easy as they have a ramp to get inside.“
“I love this place!!!! The healthy juices and smoothies are amazing... our favorites are wake me up and stomach ease. They have any kind of tea for your needs. It's a well stock place too. DON'T BELIVE THE 1 STAR KAREN REVIEWS the couple that run this place are nice, some people just don't understand the culture.“
“Amazing staff at the South Brunswick location! They are all super friendly and amazingly. The new Bae Bowl is delicious!Parking: Tons of parking! The store is located in a strip mall/shopping complex, so there is plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Fun and colorful shop! Definitely kid-friendly environment. Beautiful hand-painted murals on the walls. They give free stickers too!“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“I've been in here a twice since they opened and this place is great. They have a wide selection of bubble tea options as well as ice cream (rolled) and other snacks. The first time I came, I got the lychee slushie with tapioca boba, which was really good. Next I got the chocolate chip rolled ice cream with m&m's, which was pretty good too. The owner is very friendly and actually remembered me when I came in the second time (maybe a month in between visits). They have a loyalty punch card for ice cream and drinks and several games in their retro seating area. There are some old school games and a little plastic axe throwing area which would be fun for kids. If you're looking for a yummy treat, give this place a try. It's their second location and the owner is very friendly, serving up tasty treats.“
“A very cozy boba cafe, with delicious drinks and treats! There's always adorable & pretty paintings chibi characters on the glass and inside too. The texture of the tapioca is always perfect, the flavors are all amazing, & the texture of the tea is super satisfying. Everything is a 10/10 and the drinks are affordable.“
“Love this place ever since it opened! Everything here is worth trying. Churros, crepes, milkshakes, mangonada all AMAZING!! Staff is always kind and if they are running behind will let you know about your order. They are helpful in describing items if you are unsure as well. I’ve seen reviews of people having bad experiences with the staff, but that does not reflect the overall business, and I’m sure if the owners/management knew they would not take it lightly. I mean they even replied back to those reviews and apologized. Everyone should be supporting small businesses like theirs, they definitely deserve all the hype!!!“
“This place is so welcoming! Very energizing with a refreshing atmosphere that really makes you pumped to get your protein in and then go back after your next workout! If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Rudolpho is so kind and genuine and informative, we had such a down to earth conversation and I’m grateful for that! The menu is absolutely exquisite with such a variety and is shockingly still adding new items!! I just moved nearby from Tennessee, I followed them on instagram after seeing an ad (@pride.protein) and they thanked me with a 20% off coupon, and even stayed open a little extra so I could make it. So happy that I’ve found my new “treat yourself” spot! :)“
“Love the bubble tea at this shop. The tapioca pearls are never stale. My wife, who is the bubble tea connoisseur, 100% approves this brands bubble tea drinks.I usually go for the real fruit drinks with aloe or lemon jelly and they are legit refreshing and awesome.“
“I JUST visited Jamba Juice and was blown away by the exceptional service provided by Natalie. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor that made me feel instantly welcomed. Natalie took the time to listen to my order preferences and offered helpful suggestions based on my taste preferences.Not only was Natalie efficient and attentive throughout my visit, but she also exuded a genuine passion for her job. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm were infectious, creating a pleasant atmosphere in the store. She went above and beyond to ensure that my order was prepared to perfection, and I left feeling completely satisfied with my experience.Natalie's outstanding customer service truly made my visit to Jamba Juice a memorable one. I highly commend her for her professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to providing top-notch service. She is a true asset to the team, and I will definitely be returning to Jamba Juice thanks to her exceptional service. Five stars for Natalie!“
“Your staff is always willing to make me happy and are very courteous and happy. Unlike Smoothie King, I always get what I want at Playa! ? All of my comments are referring to the Woodbridge Avenue, Edison location!Dietary restrictions: They offer dietary guidelines. I LOVE the Coco-Berry bowl which is not an option above.Parking: There are tons of parking spaces usually near the store.Kid-friendliness: Fun things to look at, cool art on walls, cool stickers.“
“Multiple options of types, sizes and toppings for ice creams both soft serve and scoops. They handle the queue pretty well, the place is cash only. Soft serve was really good and the cookies and cream scoop was good as well. Nice for a post meal ice cream run..“
“This would mark the second time ever that I've gone to a smoothie king. I'm so happy they opened one up in this area because it was long overdue! The smoothies here were really good. I ordered a pineapple spinach and added mango and kale. It was BOMB. If you're into green smoothies, I'd highly recommend that you won't be disappointed. My girlfriend got a carribean way and she also liked it. The service was pretty quick. We got our smoothies within about 5 minutes of ordering them. There isn't much of a vibe inside because there's only 2 seats in there, so I'd recommend just taking it to go. Give this place a visit and treat yourself to a bomb smoothie.“
“This is the only place I go to for smoothies. I go here at least twice a week after work. The smoothies are always so fresh & made perfectly everytime! Everyone is super friendly & nice , especially the manager. Best smoothies I’ve ever had.“
