4 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies near Palm Bay

“I heard about this place through the grapevine and wanted to try it out. I'm a bit finicky about what's going in my coffee due to some health issues I have, but Chloe was super nice and willing to accommodate my weird questions and I really appreciated how helpful she was. The coffee was also way tastier than Starbucks or Dunkin, and it really hits the spot when I'm at work. Definitely gonna recommend it to all my buddies who also love a good brew :D“

“Carmen's Restaurant and Catering 2280 Harris Ave NE Palm Bay, FL 32905 4 Stars After what appeared to be a mistake in my last Jamaican joint review (whoa, that has a few connotations), I thought I was being punished by immediately being sent to another one by my random name generator. After smacking it on the side a few times and shaking it, I found it to be working correctly, so I proceeded to Carmen's Restaurant and Catering in Palm Bay, FL. What a world of difference! Carmen is the proprietor and a one-woman show and boyo, let me tell ya, she sure shines. I found Carmen's menu to be a joy to behold, as eclectic as my vinyl collection. As such, I decided to go in a different direction today and steered away from the traditional Jamaican fare such as Jerk Chicken and Curried Goat and went with an order of Carmen's Fried Chicken with sides of rice, beans and potato salad along with an order of her Bang Bang Fried Shrimp Tacos (the same name as the drek at the horrid Bonefish Grill) with fries. As Carmen got to work on my eats, I took in the interior. I found it to be open, welcoming, bright, and cheery, not unlike the owner! Carmen was out in no time with my foodstuffs. Taking a few before pictures, I got to work. I turned my attention and palate to the Fried Chicken. The first thing I noticed was the crunch of the coating. If you look at the picture I've attached, you can see what I mean. That coating was slathered on without care for conservation. It wasn't too much, it was just enough. The chicken, blanketed in a tender, juicy, succulent coating, tasted superb. The rice and beans were well-cooked and seasoned with love. The potato salad, like everything else, I assume was made by Carmen and if your Grandmother makes a better potato salad, I will eat these words! I can't speak for you, but when I hear or read the words, Bang Bang, I immediately think of three things. First, playing cops and robbers as a child and “shooting” the bad guy with my finger gun while shouting, “Bang! Bang!” The second is the Bollywood bad remake of a worse film, “Bang Bang!” The third thing I think of is Chinese Street Chicken. None of this has anything to do with Carmen's Bang Bang Fried Shrimp Tacos, other than the Bang Bang sauce is loosely based on the Chinese Street Chicken tossing sauce. Carmen's Bang Bang sauce was a mixture of mayo, spicy stuff and it was mahvalous, dahling! The shrimp were coated with the same love and care as the chicken and were just as tender and juicy. Got Dayum! Carmen knows her way around a kitchen. I can only assume these are her recipes as well. She should open a restaurant and share this with...oh, wait. Never mind. With this meal and the success of the Fried Chicken at Cajun Soul, my hopes have been raised considerably. The Big Boy says, “If you want good eats served with love and a friendly smile, visit Carmen. Tell her the Big Boy sent ya (it's safe this time)!”“

“Very Delicious! Did not leave disappointed. Pricing was great and the only local place opened past 9 for Great Icecream and a large menu/options!!!! Owner was very kind & made orders promptly. Will be back again! 10/10!“

“I'd been meaning to try this place for months and finally got round to it last weekend. Should have done it sooner. The whole experience was a quiet masterclass in how to run a restaurant well. Everything was easy, considered, and properly executed — from the warm welcome to the lovely table to the server who made every recommendation feel personal. The food was honestly excellent, with proper flavours, generous portions, and the kind of considered cooking that takes real skill. We worked through a starter, mains each, and a shared dessert at the end. The bill at the end was very fair for the quality. New favourite, easily. Going back this weekend. Highly recommend.“
