Got a $100 gift card for here and super unluckily for me, the only milk they have is cashew milk, which I’m very allergic to. No other milk options at all so 90% of the menu I can’t touch. So I ordered the dragon fruit bowl and my partner got the peanut butter chia pudding. Both were supposed to be without cashew milk but after trying both of ours, I’m leaving with an allergic reaction. VERY DANGEROUS place for NUT ALLERGIES. On top of that, what we got didn’t taste good and the interior seating is in pretty rough shape.
Super disappointed this is my usual spot I ordered a build your own bowl and then a regular bowl just to wait 30 minutes for both and for them to be made completely wrong. I was already late due to using my whole lunch waiting for bowls that I didn’t even get a chance to get them corrected definitely won’t be returning to this location.
This place needs to hire more people - poor cashier at lunch had a huge rush and was all alone and it took 30 mins for people to get their bowls/smoothies - good smoothie in the end though no hate to the cashier she was great
Waited 20 minutes for 1 drink, while other people behind me were helped first. Turns out they forgot about my order. Bad service
Quality products and friendly service. Love all the vegan options including non-dairy yogurts, bowls, milks.
There was a lady that was working there and she was working very hard and she was the only one there working and she was very courteous so I want to leave a review for her.
Love the bowls and smoothies here.
This place was a great find, and everything was made fresh to order, which made the food taste even better. The menu had some solid options, and the quality was definitely there.
I visited on Super Bowl Sunday when just one woman was handling everything—both the register and making all the orders. I wish she had more help, but despite being solo, she was incredibly kind and friendly (not sure I would have been in her position!).
One small suggestion—there was quite a bit of plastic used for packaging, which seems unnecessary given how fresh everything is. A more sustainable approach would be a great improvement.
Overall, it’s a great little spot in The Shops on Lake—worth checking out!

Hire more people. You had one employee attempting to work more that she can handle. Not her fault, it’s the owner. Wait time is ridiculous and I was the first one to order. It took almost an hour for my order. 1 açaí bowl. If I can give a zero, I would. I wanted to walk out and get a refund but apparently, she is not authorized to do so. I am stuck at this place! What a horrible experience. Stay clear from this place
Great place friendly environment.

When I was ordering, I specifically told the staff that my only request was to avoid pineapple because I’m allergic to it. Not only did they fail to note my request, but they also added a lot of pineapple—both in and on top of the smoothie. To make things worse, they forgot to put the bananas, so the entire smoothie was watery and tasted awful.

Have not been here in awhile but wow, like maybe take care of the storefront a little. The floor is filthy, the chairs are torn and it’s not that hard of a fix. There are silly signs about feet on the wall making a mess but the floor looks way worse!! It was nasty and they are worried about scuff marks on the wall that they took away the chairs. The bench should just be recovered, like it’s a diy that would take maybe an hour. Also my juice was warm. I used to get juice here more often and I don’t like it with ice because it gets watered down. Never served warm though. Yuck. I’ll just make my juice at home. Much better anyway.
I went to pick up my Popeye Acai smoothie around 5:15 and it was nice to see the store is nice and clean. The young lady greeted me with a smile and promptly gave me order once I told her my name. It was a short interaction as I place the order through the app but you can tell she has a nice personality. The drink taste amazing. This was my first time having this smoothie and it's so refreshing.
