The Protein Place

Love this place! Second time here :) I ordered the Tajin Chamoy energy refresher & it was soooo good. The taste and flavor reminds me of my favorite childhood treat, un raspado!
My first visit here, I ordered a Reese’s protein shake & that was also delicious. This is my new favorite spot!! Thank you so much! Never leave!! I hope this place is able to open another spot in Sacramento.

This place definitely prioritizes protein over flavor/quality. It tastes like a cheap protein smoothie I can make at home and nothing like an “Acai bowl” which is what I ordered. It tastes like cookies and cream protein powder and nothing like Acai or any other fruit…. It also features chunks of straight ice. It was also $16 💀.

What an amazing spot! Staff was incredibly kind and courteous. I got the açaí bowl and it was to die for. Couldn’t even taste the protein powder.

The Protein Place is an absolute gem in town! With a super creative menu of high-protein shakes, waffles, granola bowls, acai bowls, and fruity refreshers, they’ve completely filled a gap in the local food scene. Whether I’m in a healthy mindset or craving something sweet, they always have something for both me and my toddler—which is rare!

The space is super clean and welcoming, but the real magic is the owners. They’re incredibly hands-on, responsive to feedback, and clearly care deeply about quality, customer experience, and community. I love that they’re upfront about their ingredients and open about how they build their recipes.

Huge shoutout for their customizable options, killer customer service, and just being all-around amazing humans. We seriously needed a place like this around here—and now we have it.

Tasty low-cal alternatives to milkshakes! The cinnamon and strawberry waffles were amazing.

I tried the refresher drinks and they were good!

Everything I’ve gotten here has been delicious, highly recommend the waffles and seriously, any of the shakes are 10/10. Staff are always super friendly & helpful too!

Love this spot! Super clean, great vibe, and the drinks are always on point. The caffeine energizer drinks are seriously the best—way better than your average energy drink. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Perfect place to fuel up after/before a workout or grab a healthy bite on the go. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience. The vinilla donut was delicious. The cookies and cream, watermelon college was also delicious. We'll be back

This place is great! They have always offered amazing service and had a smile on their face as they do it. 5 stars all over

Not a place to sit down and have a meal

Delicious! I had the white reeses shake and loved it! Also loved the white chocolate mocha and oreo donut. So surprisingly yummy! All in all I got 67 grams of protein this morning. Thank you to Protein Place!

I found this place by accident. You can get protein, smoothies, açai bowls, and so much more. They have sugar-free donuts. I ordered a snickerdoodle açai bowl and was able to customize it with Pea protein. They also offer whey and soy protein. The staff is super friendly and it has a nice vibe to it with couches and seating area. I learned they have another location in Folsom and are considering opening one in Roseville. You need to check this place out. It’s healthy and delicious.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that everything here is protein based because it taste so so good and it’s good for you and they’re very very nice and very very clean. Wonderful place!
