Just picked up a PBJ bowl. Was not impressed they handed me a container of soup basically. It was all melted. Paid for peanut butter added on and there was no thickness of any peanut butter, just a soupy container with fruit added. I'll stick with everbowl next time. And the girl behind the counter with a Choose Happiness shirt had the meanest look to the customers. Way too intense.

Poor customer service I went three mornings in a row. Each morning, I ordered online because I had a very tight schedule. The first morning, the person behind the counter said they never got my order, then said it was there but didn't print out "for some reason." The second morning, with a different employee, everything was fine. This morning, with two different employees, I was told to wait in line to pick up my online order. I asked what was the point then of ordering online? One of the employees even said that my order was ready, but I still had to wait in line, when I had already been waiting over 5 minutes. So, know this, if you order online from them, you will still have to wait in whatever line is there.

Super cute casual spot! The avocado toast is absolutely delicious. The banana bread is good too

Tried Choice for the first time and was very impressed! Wanted a smoothie that had benefits vs just fruit and it did not disappoint. I tried the unicorn and my sister had the warrior both very good! And the protein balls was also very good!

On a sunny afternoon, we stopped by the corner of Carlsbad Village Drive and State Street in Carlsbad and tried two smoothies from Choice. This place is dog friendly, bike friendly, kid friendly and basically has a good vibe for people watching and rehydrating while on a bike ride. It has artificial grass, lots of benches and lounging chairs. I ordered the Warrior (green) since I was listening to a Tony Robbins seminar recently and they said you need to bring out your Warrior. So fitting. The Warrior was amazingly tasty, kinda sweet taste like frozen yogurt. I got it with oat milk. It is green, yeah, healthy, but has good flavor. Date, banana, almond butter, spiralina, Choice protein powder and spinach. The Strawberry Zen was not as sweet as expected. Strawberries, protein powder, bananas and dates. My boyfriend liked it. Considering the ingredients, I expected it to be super sweet, but it wasn't. Zen! Great flavors. Nice relaxing atmosphere. A little noisy because it is at a busy intersection and there is a open airy bar next door playing music. But for us, it was the perfect place to stop for a smoothie at the two hour mark of a 4 hour bike ride.

Karens are going to raise Karens. Time to grow up and get educated. Worst customer service ever. They leave snotty, rude and disrespectful children in charge.

Great all around. I mean all around. Very great. I think it's very great food. Very great environment. Very great people. Greatest place I've ever been. Would recommend, best "Choice" I've been to thus far. Great!

Purchased a smoothie, got in my car and realized it was completely watered down about halfway through it so when I circled back around to drive and park again around the place I had drank through it. When I informed the staff I was told that it's a warm day so that's probably why it melted - in January with weather temperature in the low sixties - and essentially told that because they couldn't confirm what I was saying I couldn't receive the courtesy of benefit of the doubt for it to be made right. So essentially I must be a lier and cheating person trying to pull a scam, it's how I got to walk away feeling judged. I told them they could look at their point of sale system to confirm that it was recently ordered, but there was no interest in doing so. Even when one buys a smoothie in the middle of the summertime it shouldn't be able to be consumed in approximately a five minute time span, I didn't pay for flavored milk juice! ?

I'm not a big juice or smoothie gal, but the family wanted to stop for a snack. Overall, 5/5 stars. We got the following drinks: - Avatar with extra protein (w/out extra protein it only had 7-9 grams) was the crowd favorite. It was smooth, sweet, but not too overpowering. - açaí was a standard açaí taste - strawberry zen tasted like a "less sugary" strawberry shake - coffee buzz had an earthy coffee taste The staff were also very helpful and friendly! The chick at the register and the one making the smoothies were very knowledgeable about the drinks and helped me narrow down my decision based on my likes and their recommendations. The price seemed on par with standard Southern California "superfoods." They also had a cute outdoor area with bathrooms available. Parking was a little difficult, but it was to be expected (downtown location).

I absolutely love this kid friendly spot! My 2 toddlers are always super happy to use the chalkboard and have space to roam while we have our smoothies. The staff here are all so incredibly friendly. My son insists on having the unicorn smoothie he called a "dragon" smoothie and the employees always write dragon and call it that instead. It's so sweet! Last time they even drew a dragon on his cup. It's the little ways they go above and beyond for the customers and the great atmosphere in Carlsbad village that keep us coming back!
I got their juice here but it was $9 which is a little bit overpriced in my opinion as it was already premade. Tasted ok..

Such a cute place and the location is perfect. I had the beet chia juice- it was fresh and satisfying. They make it fresh daily. All organic and is perfectly balanced. I highly recommend it! My daughter had a strawberry zen smoothie. She said the flavor was delicious, but the texture was chalky. It took a while to get her smoothie... not due to lack of staff, but rather a lack of urgency by the staff. One member was talking about her personal life the entire time while someone else was trying to work. I'd be annoyed if that was my coworker. Lol.
