“This was my first experience at Playa Bowls. Darien, the wonderful manager, patiently answered all of my questions and made a perfect recommendation based on my dietary restrictions. I really enjoyed my bowl and I'll definitely be back!“
“My favorite takeout Indian in the area! I usually go Chicken 65 for an appetizer which has (in my opinion) the perfect spicy level between flavor and spicy. For meals, you can’t go wrong with the Chicken Tikka Masala (or Vindaloo) + Garlic “
“I visited during the grand opening special and ordered a bubble tea and a taro bubble tea! I think both tasted good, nothing special, but I did like the chewy texture of the boba! I also thought the staff were very welcoming and nice! They gave me a boba plushy keychain and a donut as part of their promotion! The space is a bit small inside but has a few stools to sit! This is a great addition to the bubble tea options in this area!“

“I met a friend at Tartinery Wednesday afternoon, so it was not crowded. I ordered a cup of latte and warm apple tart. The tart was indeed warm and a scoop of vanilla ice cream complimented it. We stayed there for more than an hour, enjoying our conversation. The workers were present when we needed something, and it gave relaxed atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised that they gave some discount as my friend is a nearby university student. I would return to Tartinery to try breakfast or lunch next time.“
“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“
“Honestly the food is AMAZING! AMAZING !!!!! BUT ...... The environment is not the best. It's tight, too serious, the food isn't the fastest and it is pricey. but I will say the food is worth it. I would just love the ambiance to change. Then it would be perfect. Absolutely perfect!“
“While walking back from my class trip at the Whitney Museum, I stumbled upon this wonderful shop and just had to have a look. I kept peaking over the menu by the window and was surprised with how many options they had, they had avocado toast, Açaí bowls, smoothies, juices etc… Since I was running late to my next class I just decided to settle for a smoothie. When I walked inside, the shop had such a beautiful atmosphere, with a few juices/ pastries on display. I even noticed some fresh fruit hanging in the back. I had a bit of trouble with my credit card on the card reader ( probably kept pulling it out to fast ) and the wonderful lady behind the cashier ( who’s name I wish I asked for ) was so sweet and understanding that she just didn’t mind helping me out with that. When she finished making the smoothie my goodness I was blown away by the flavor. I picked a smoothie that had mango, mint, spinach, pineapple and honey called Mango Tango. Such a good combination of ingredients!! I usually don’t finish smoothies all the way but with this one, I drank it to the bottom of the cup haha I highly recommend stopping by this place, it’s like a hidden gem!! ❤️❤️“
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! ?? I am always satisfied with my order and always keep coming back to doordash for more!! I want to give a quick shout out to Michael and Cariluz for crafting the best amazing salad that I enjoy always !! ? thank you again i’m gonna keep coming back :-)“

“My two nieces and I popped in this morning on our way to the Natural History Museum. I’ll admit I was hesitant but thankfully I listened to my nieces! I had the avocado and eggs in a crepe, which was the best gluten-free sandwich I have ever had. Did not miss the bread at all. My 14 year old chose the Nutella crepe with banana and the 9 ounce Açaí bowl. Oldest selected one of the big bowls … it was a work of art. Highly recommend and we will be back on our next trip. All the best on your growth plans!“
“Recent dinner at Tacombi definitely hit the spot. The tacos are packed with well seasoned meat, the crispy fish was nicely dressed with slaw and sauce, the salsa are delicious and pack a nice little punch. The tostada was crispy with a flavorful avocado topping and the quesadilla just barely visible under the mountain of Al pastor. My michelada was nice but I'd give the agave wine margs a pass if you're a marg purist. Juan Carlos took great care of us. On hand just when we needed with what we needed, friendly, and left us plenty of time to chow and digest before sending us on our merry way. We really enjoyed the little cabana - it's nice when the COVID inspired street cabana matches the good vibes indoors so even the dog can enjoy the night out.“
“Was just walking by and the vibrsnt colors peaked my interest and had ti go in-The best tasting smoothie I've ever ordered. As a guy who lives on chick fil a and chipotle, I can taste the healthiness. Very fresh, very healthy, very happy.Probably falls into the premium product category, but as far as getting what you pay for, it's a 10 out of 10 for me.Will come back again!“

“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.“
“Second day in a row! Yesterday was The OG Crepe (FRESH fruit!!) w| a side of ice cream & The Churro Crepe w| a side of ice cream… if only you knew! Literally mouth watering! And now today The Chocolate Chip cookie filled with chocolate w| a side of ice cream and Mini Nutella Pancakes w| a side of ice cream. Best way to end the weekend!“
“Me and friends picked up 2 cakes and the service was only around a 5 minute wait! It's small in size compared to other locations but the interior was very cute! I really enjoy Mango Mango and I would definitely recommend any of the crepe cakes, crepes, and hot tea (dining in). The waitress was sweet and our purchase came with a lovely reusable bag! :) “
“I can't say enough good things about this spot. The owners are passionate, welcoming and family oriented. The cook is very crafty and efficient. EVERY BITE IS JUST RIGHT... Flavor is beyond what a typical Vegan spot is. The textures of the food get me all the time, I have to keep telling my self it's not Meat?. Definitely a hidden ?. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Vegetarian options: VeganDietary restrictions: VeganKid-friendliness: THE OWNERS ARE GREAT PARENTS“
“Service was friendly and good overall. I have always been a frequent flyer to the Kung Fu Tea kingdom and this location will be no exception. My favorite tea is and always has been the Taro milk tea with grass jelly. They have a few board games and it is an inviting vibe. My adult children get everything from Passion Fruit and Green Tea. Sometimes the slushy type of drinks. It's always pretty good and I believe it is up to par with the Montclair location.“
“Happy with the Hackensack branch, before I had to drive 20 minutes now I have it close to home. The food is delicious and what I love most are their juices and smoothies..!! If you are on a diet, it has green juices and healthy smoothies. If not, I recommend my favorite, which is sapote or Mamey..!! The girls are nice, good service, super clean. Recommended 100%Dietary restrictions: Well I see that it has green juices, although I don't like them...!! But those who want healthy smoothies this is the place.Parking: Well, it has about 14 parking spaces, I don't think I counted them correctly, but the good thing is that I always find parking.Kid-friendliness: The portions are perfect for the little ones in the house, the empanadas and the yucca buns I know they love them.“
“Cell Power Cafe is definitely my new go-to spot. The food is full of flavor and fresh. The curry chickpea bowl and shrimp wrap are definitely worth trying. I also enjoy their smoothies and sea moss. I appreciate the love that's put into this business and how they always greet me with a kind smile. Check them out!“
“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.“
“the entire staff is so friendly and amazing. Full of smiles and just an overall great experience. I was fortunate enough to meet Cindy (the owner) who is an intelligent, funny, and amazing person. Stop by chinatown and try the delicious eel with purple rice with some farm fresh mango bubble tea“

“Food is fantastic and customer service is amazing. If you’re in the area you need to definitely drop by and grab a byte. They have a variety of things and they can custom anything you desire. Also LEO discount are offered which is a plus!“
“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 “
“I decided to check this place out before work. I got the strawberry banana in a large. It was smooth and delicious. The cashier was sweet and friendly also. I will definitely be back. It is pretty cool you get points for joining on Cash app“
“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!!“
“Great for families!! We were a party of 20 and most of the party were small children. The workers did not mind the noise that came with the kids and the service was amazing. The food was equally great! I hope this business booms! Great job managing this place.“
“Awesome little coffee shop. They have a huge menu with a variety of options. They also have a large selection of juices and wellness shots. I only got some coffee and juice but would definitely come back to try some of their breakfast items!“
“This is THE smoothie place to go - hands down!I’ve been to at least 10 smoothie places in NYC (primarily Manhattan) and never been more satisfied with the drink or service than here. Honestly no other smoothie places can compare. I can order my drink within the moment I step inside (the workers are highly attentive to customers) and wait less than 5 minutes until my smoothie’s been made.Very smooth, no chunks, absolutely addictively delicious. My top choice is always the Lychee Valentine, followed by Avomazing or Smooth Avocado, but you really cannot go wrong with any of their choices.“
“The chicken is hit or miss, which for a rotisserie takeout place is not really acceptable. The sides are always really good, but the real gem here is the gyro and seasoned fries. The service is awful though. Guy at the counter had no greeting, just played on his phone. Didn't use gloves when he handled my food (people use their phones while on the toilette so would been nice to use gloves or wash hands). He didn't say thank you, just handed it to me in cold silence. My advice would be to hire someone who can at least pretend that they want to be there and act like they appreciate your business. With so many great take out places around, this one is unfortunately an easy pass for now on.*** UPDATE *** Excellent management. Clearly strives to fix flaws and makes things right. Employee referred to was trained. Most companies would never take any action, so very impressive. Also, company website offers 10% discount on all orders. Never realized this!“
“Very nice. People were very friendly and everything was yummy. We sat outside and enjoyed the drinks. My friend had an Electric Garden smoothie and I had a lavender latte. We also had some pastries. All were lovely! We did not order much but my friend goes there often and loves everything. They easily accommodated another customer who asked for several personalizations in her already complex drink. I thought that was awesome.I will be back!“
“Coming to this juice press actually makes my day every day. Gregory (who I believe is the manager) is the kindest man and provides such great service. I love juice press for its great selection of healthy food, but even more so for the hospitality coming from Gregory and the staff at this location. They are always smiling, helpful, and pleasant. I never want to get lunch anywhere else! I have sampled some off the menu flavors (chocolate mousse, peanut butter and jelly that are SO GOOD I hope they become actual menu items). It just really makes a difference grabbing lunch a few times a week and knowing you will come in to a warm welcome and positive atmosphere rather than other places where you are barely even greeted and trying to get you in and out as quick as possible. Love the staff, love the service, love the food!Dietary restrictions: Only place I have ever found that has organic, no added sugar, gluten free, and dairy free options. Very very good selection for strict, clean diets.“
“Coffee is good, ambiance is nice... and good music, got me shazaming stuff. Plenty of seating--they are not one of these new coffee shops with no seating. At closing time they offer free pastries to people willing to leave a nice review (totally unrelated, obviously)“
“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!“
“This is a fantastic find! With very little juice bars in this area, Tutti Frutti juice bar deserves a repeated and loyal visit. Service is friendly, juices are fresh and healthy, the menu is incredibly diverse. Although space is limited, it's definitely not cramped. If you're driving, looking for parking in the surrounding area shouldn't be that bad, just don't double park directly out front, this part of Park Avenue is incredibly active. Ultimately, Tutti Frutti is a go, and a go again!“
“Delicious tea - not too sweet even at the regular sugar amount. There’s options to adjust sugar and ice levels. Lots of flavors offered and a generous amount of bubbles.The store has a variety of East Asian snacks as well, ranging from candy and noodles to sauce.The staff member was very friendly also. Highly recommend supporting this local shop instead of the various chains around“
“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!“
“Very nice people with very good vegan.food. We got there vegan version of a Philly Cheesesteak and a Blt and being from philly this could be blasphemous but it was very tasty and much better then some steak sandwiches i had in philly. We both enjoyed them very much and they give you a side Mac and cheese or potatoes salad and kale with a really tasty vinagarette. Very enjoyable dinner. Just no there is no dining inside so we took it to go.“
“I took a fiesta chic with plant base chicken it was delicious , and my mom took blacken chicken salad she think the chicken did not have much salt which is a plus. Also took an extra side of plant base chicken… yummy.. Next time I will try the cauliflower bites…“
“Very cute spot! I was impressed by the menu before I even arrived so I knew already that I wanted the Choco thin mint and open avocado toast! The consistency of the smoothie was perfect and the avocado toast flavor and crunch was tasty ! Will be back for the empanadas!“
“This is an excellent smoothie and acai bowl place, with a very fitting name! All of the fruit was fresh and smoothies are made to order. I was able to customize a smoothie with almond milk, spinach, banana, Nutella, blueberries, and avocado. It was actually surprisingly good and hit just the spot. So glad to have found this healthy juice/smoothie place in Jersey City!“
“Bubble Tea-licious is one of the best bubble tea spots in Jersey City. I’m pretty particular about my bubble tea and I just love every sip of the flavorful options they have! The staff is incredibly sweet and the lo-fi music sets the mood for a great study environment. 10/10 would recommend!“
“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.“
“had this originally in Flushing, NY. tried the pineapple tea w nata jelly. very refreshing and the jelly was delicious w a nice crunchy texture.so good that I got it again later in Secaucus, NJ. this time was the peach tea w nata jelly. it was still very delicious!disclaimer, they may be a chain but they each make it differently. the nata jelly in NY was shorter, rectangular shape while NJ is longer, like shaven coconut. both were still amazing. would definitely go again!picture: pineapple tea w nata jelly“
“Even when they are busy you will be greeted with a smile and great attitude. Awesome girls at the food counter, fresh food awesome portions and fair price. My healthy choice when in town. Every time i’m in town I bring new people with me and they love this place. Keep up the good work and great service.!!’Piero ??✈️Parking: Big Lot“
“Found this little gem while staying in the West Village, was made to feel very welcome by staff, and owners. the menu has a great choice to choose from.. the omelette was especially outstanding. will definitely be going back on my next visit to New York.“
“We had a great dinner here on 23rd March. The food was quite good, but the server, Samir, made us feel especially welcome. He was friendly, and very efficient in terms of handling our order. Nice guy, nice place, nice meal!Vegetarian options: Some good veggie options!“
“Simple and straightforward. Tried several items on their menu, and it was all good. Ate breakfast here most days during our stay in NYC, better and cheaper than at the hotel.The only complaint I have, was the espresso, which was not very good. The brewed coffee was better, but I would buy coffee somewhere else.Kid-friendliness: Pancakes with Nutella was a big hit.“
“Great coffee and tea! Perfect staff: they all care deeply about their craft, and they want you to enjoy it as much as they do.And apparently it’s a climbing gym too! It’s a bizarre place, and I love it.There are books and games around, and some cool seating.“
“One of Wayne’s best kept secrets??? From the super welcoming staff to most freshly made meals and smoothies in area , I can’t recommend this place more ! A perfect post workout spot or place for breakfast and more healthier than any place around !“
“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“
