Their açai bowls are always fresh and delicious. Eat one! Staff are typically kind and move quickly, but I would highly suggest utilizing their online order or walking in and using their kiosk. These bowls have a tendency to become softer pretty quickly, it’s best to eat up or stash in a freezer until your ready.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

MARIBEL gave great service and answered all my questions about changing around ingredients. I ordered GR8 Greens with no honey or agave and it was sweet enough for me. I had a tough time deciding between green options and peanut butter options without even venturing into the many açaí bowls, salads, wraps, and burritos Every menu item is marked by protein grams, and symbols for vegetarian and vegan. Everything is gluten free unless marked! Order by app or at accessible height kiosk. They also offer canned kombucha and other beverages, fresh bananas, sweet potato chips Accessible tables and two comfy chairs some high top tables also and a high top bar seating with power outlets Music is loud All gender accessible restrooms Accessible paid street parking and downtown lots

Oct 2024 We ordered lunch online here and decided to stay and eat when we picked it up. Note while their food is high in protein (like their store name suggests), they are also pretty high in fat and carbs. Their food is delicious, but I would not recommend this place for someone on a strict diet who is watching their macros. The place has two entrances, one opening onto the street and another opening into the rest of the building. The inside is dimly lit, with a cafe level of noise and music in the background. There are mainly 2-3 people tables, with some high chair tables and a bar. The bar also has outlets on the top. They also have two self-ordering koisks on the right side of the store. I noticed that most people arriving used those to order rather than talking to a person. The staff were polite, busy, and efficient. When we picked up our order, they made sure to remind us to pick our own napkins, utensils, and straws. They have 2 all gender bathrooms here. They require a code to enter, which you can ask one of the staff members for. I think they must change the code periodically, because the keypads on each bathroom were missing a few number keys, and the code would only be able to work on one of the doors. All of the food we tried was very delicious and very filling. We would definitely come again if just getting something to eat.
