“The staff is so underwhelming. I dunno if Cincinnati is just glum but these kids look like they can barely bother.They do a good job, product is quick and great but I've been 4 times and I can tell you for sure who the manager is.All the smoothies are sweet if you don't make your own.“
“Holy flippin deliciousness. When you're going to be by Findlay Market in OTR you have to come here. Just walk across the street because so many smoothie & bowl options that you just can't go wrong. It will be difficult to just figure out what you want since so much goodness happening. This place is pretty big so you sit & enjoy it inside or walk around the n'hood. Friendly service & good prices too. So get there now & enjoy the tasty healthiness.“
“Believe the hype! I worked in the smoothie space in college and this is by far the best juicery I have been to. Kudos to these two for bringing the inspiration of their lives out West back home. Got some apothecary product, food, and a smoothie. Loved it all. Will be visiting anytime I’m in town. It’s a lovely space in a great area. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!“
“The fastest smoothie I have ever received and at the same time best tasting. I was greeted with smiling faces, and I cannot wait to go back and get my order again. You have to try the pomegranate plunge with peanut butter added; it taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.“

“Empower is my absolute favorite place! Their shakes are delicious and their customer service is amazing. Both co-owners are incredibly sweet and they genuinely care about getting to know people when they stop in. Could not recommend this place anymore. 11/10!“
“Excellent smoothies crafted by people who care deeply about their product. No lactose, but you'd never know it. I personally love that none of the varieties we tried were overly sweet (Chocolate banana, orange Creamsicle, and S'mores).As great as the smoothies and teas are, the people are even better, which makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable.“
“Very adorably, sweet coffee shop. We had some smoothies to go along with some coffees. Seemed the owner was working and was very kind & welcoming. Would imagine if you are going mother-daughter dress shopping for a wedding, definitely the place to hit!We even had time to play a few games of connect four that was hanging out on the shelf!Kid-friendliness: Yes yes yes! Kids will love to look at all the colorful fish in the very well kept and clean fish tank!“
“Absolutely fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. Modern diner vibe with mouthwatering burgers, delicious boozy milkshakes, and the best, most tender, juciest fried chicken I've ever had.Parking: You can usually find street parking nearby“
“This is a great place with excellent food, great presentation, and quality ingredients.I had their eggs Benedict and a side English muffin with strawberry preserves. As the same muffin is used for the eggs Benedict I will say it is a quality muffin that came out split warm and buttered inside with the strawberry preserves soft and delicious.The eggs Benedict was wonderful as it has cubed hashbrowns that are both dense and moist, but moist inside not greasy with a crisp outside reminiscent of a home fried potatoes exterior. DeliciousThen there is a mini fruit cupThe eggs Benedict themselves start with a base of that excellent muffin then a ham that is perfect for this application... then you have a nice hollandaise and attop it is a perfectly poached egg; that when split flows nicely over the entrée.I would recommend a side of their toast to sop in the egg as the tost is very nice and tasted excellent.The mushroom and Jack cheese Omelet is a beautiful example of an Omelet as the ingredients are not just in the Omelet but present In a way that they don't seem over cooked into the egg. It's almost like they were able to make sure they all stood out and you could taste them unlike other omelets where they can be bland ingredients. It shows they know when to add the ingredients to the egg properly so you can get the flavors that contrast in texture but compliments the others flavor... came with that wonderful toast and the hashbrown cubes; it also came with that mini fruit cup.This was a pleasurable brunch...Vegetarian options: Many of the dishes are easily vegetarian friendly or can be slightly modified to accommodate.Parking: Open free lotWheelchair accessibility: Has sidewalk ramp and tables that can accommodate.“
“How did I not know this place was here? Seriously everything you could want from a smoothie spot. Focus on nutrition and health, with great prices. Come visit. Start your day with one of their smoothies and you won't regret it. Lol. I promise this is not a paid or sponsored review. I'm just blown away by the service I received and how I didn't know this place was so close to my house.“
“If you're looking for a quick bite or a delicious smoothie then you should absolutely try this place. The service is always friendly and fast and there's intently of parking. The menu has a decent variety and everything I've tried has been delicious.“
“I’m a frequent customer because Nekter is amazing! They have great bowls and juices. I always feel healthier after eating/drinking their products. Only one confusing point: they have a saying “skip the line and order online.” Well yesterday I ordered ahead online, but when I got there they were busy with in-person orders. I was the very last person served despite having ordered before everyone. I received my order 20 minutes after the original estimated time. I asked the worker and she said they prioritize in person orders. So if they’re busy, I guess it’s faster to order in person? Otherwise great place and great staff.“
“While I haven't been in for awhile, I love Kim and her down-to-earth attitude. She is a REAL person who doesn't do the oh-so-polite conversation that is so fake. She gives great advice and was especially helpful with a particular product when I needed help with setting down at night. I was a customer of hers when she did another business, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with what she did. These negative reviews make me sad :-( . My daughter loves her and her shop b/c of Kim's products and friendliness. You could ask her any question regarding so many things, and I bet she'd know the answer. Actually, I really need to get back in there ?!“
“I enjoy having a place close by that I can pick up some quality food to-go, this helps me with my health goals. Clean ingredients & it's really tasty, with a fast pick up. It's my go-to spot now!Dietary restrictions: Ask them in store, or sign up in the app, you'll see how everything is customizable there, with some great healthy add-ins.“
“First time getting Currito. It was good. really filling but I’m not a fan of the portions that I received. I understand business and food industry when it comes to portions and costs (as I’ve previously worked within food industry) but I was unfortunately let down — Then it becomes the question of , is it worth paying “x” amount for this when you could get more for your dollar at another said business. Other than that, I have no issue! The mango salsa was delicious !“

“I seriously love the Super Bowl. I first tried acia bowls on Arizona. I had hoped that some place close would come up with one similar. Finally two years later it happened and I have been enjoying them since. Thank you!!! They taste amazing and they are healthy.“
“I don't think I'll ever stop coming here in my life! By far my favorite smoothie place that also has food! My go to for the smoothie for something lighter is the "detox island green" but I will occasionally get the "sunrise sunset" smoothie and I've NEVER been disappointed!!!! In terms of food I almost always go with my ole faithful wrap (pictured here) but I can honestly say I have never had anything I disliked. My favorite is the "Caribbean Jerk Chicken" as it has a nice kick and keeps me full! I recommend getting the app as well so you can earn those loyalty points and earn free things! Long story short, if you're a by a Tropical Smoothie and are hungry, GO TO TROPICAL SMOOTHIE!! The store itself is super clean and all the employees are personable and helpful providing exceptional service!“
“This is such a nice little coffee shop. Great location too. The coffee is amazing hands down. I love the signature lavender latte my wife loves the mocha Frappuccino. The also have great smoothies a large tea selection as well as chocolate and candy. My favorite is the chocolate covered oreos mmm.This place also has a great contemporary look with tons of comfortable seating and tables . Can't recommend this place enough. Also love supporting small businesses.“
“This is one of the very best restaurants in Ft Thomas. The food is amazing and the people are the best. Everyone there not only makes you so comfortable and the food so great , they make you feel like you have been best friends forever. I will be coming there more often .My name is Debi and I absolutely love the “ Tickle Pickle. Love the staff so much!“
“i got so excited when i found out there was a dumpling spot close by, but was dismayed when i saw some less than stellar reviews. i didn’t let these sway me from trying it out for myself, however, and thank god i didn’t. we had the black truffle and pork soup dumplings, fried wontons, orange, and shrimp in fruit sauce, and everything far exceeded our expectations. the fruit shrimp was my order, and it was one of the most unique flavor profiles i’ve ever had. in addition to this, the restaurant is in fine condition and the location is beautiful. we were lucky enough to go on one of the first warm days in the year, and got to sit on the back patio on the river.“
