Kind staff and grateful for the vegan options but quality smoothie shops do not charge an additional $1.50—or more—to veganize every smoothie. Not a good value for vegans or those with dairy allergies.

Emily and Lucas were very kind and helpful while ordering and their recommendation of the cinnamon toast was delicious!

Fresh Monkee is such a refreshing break from the usual smoothie spots. Their shakes feel like a smart little loophole…dessert vibes without the crash or the guilt. I also happened to meet the owner, who was genuinely friendly and clearly passionate about what he’s building, which makes supporting the place that much better. Definitely worth the stop.

I freaking love this place. Best smoothies/protein drinks ever. But I came at 7:15 on a Tuesday to get one before work and they weren’t open. Not a soul in sight. Drove 20 minutes out of my way to get one because that’s how much I love it. So now I’m sad and shake-less

My new favorite smoothie spot! The owners are incredible kind and even had a little treat for my dogs! I loved the coffee buzz and added banana! Will be a regular!

Was traveling for work and stopped here randomly. Service was really fantastic and I got a free sample of the Monkee Ballz! A really nice spot, got the Chunkee Monkey smoothie with spinach and I give it 10/10. I'll be coming back next time Im in the area for work

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was my first time visiting Fresh Monkey Healthy Shakes and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Emily and Lucas were so kind, professional, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They greeted me right away and helped me choose the perfect shake based on what I was looking for. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere felt so inviting. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This use to be the absolute best healthy shake place around. I was so addicted. I would go daily. All of a sudden, the shakes stopped being-consistent - missing key ingredients. My last Stawberry moon was misding the chocolate cookie crumbles (the best part) and was made with 1% milk instead of the Almond milk I requested. The shake before that was missing the dates I added and was charged for. The morning crew has a lot of friends visiting. While the staff is relatively friendly and polite, the attention to basic details is not there. I hope they find it again soon, as I loved this place. Mabey the afternoon crew is better...?

Newly opened this place is awesome. Such a fun vibe. The owners are very genuine, real people. I tried two shakes, both delicious: Chunkee Monkee and the Caramel Coffee Buzz- so good. And don’t miss the Monkee Ballz - YES! They are to die for. You gotta go here!
