“Binka makes the best smoothies to bring you back after a hard workout! I recommend the Almond Berry or Coffee Heaven smoothies to renew yourself - I stop in faithfully after a workout several buildings away from 11-11 Health Bar twice a week, and her drinks bring me back! And Binka is really nice and fun!“
“Oh my god! It’s like someone read my mind and built this place for me. If only these could replace all the McDonald’s out there and of course everyone could afford it. Our healthcare costs would come down to free universal healthcare. Basically how Europe manages this is by having real food available everywhere. And the population needs way less overpriced medication because of it.“
“One of my new go-to spots for Asian-inspired healthy bowls.I first found out about Lotus Test Kitchen last year while looking for a lunch spot in Downtown. Since then, I’ve been getting bowls from here at least once a month. They seamlessly meld Asian flavors into healthy bowls without a lot of compromises.My favorite bowl is their signature Braised Pork Belly Bowl, which features three substantial chunks of tender pork belly. It also comes with cabbage slaw, and pickled daikons and carrots that helps tone down the greasiness with their tangy, refreshing crunch. And then there's the Spicy Gochujang sauce, an optional but highly recommended addition that weaves sweetness and a subtle kick to the bowl.While certain dishes, like the Thai Curry Chicken and the Spicy BBQ Korean Pork Belly bowl, occasionally come with meat that errs on the drier side, their sauce and pickled vegetable toppings help elevate the central ingredients.Overall, a great lunch spot that offers a quick, filling, and delicious bowls. If you’re looking for something healthy outside of your usual salad bowls, I highly recommend giving them a try.“
“Was nearby and wanted to try new boba spots and saw this place had açaí too so we had to try it. The space is super long. Unfortunately boba was no longer on the menu. But the açaí was really good. I got super hyped when I saw they had different bases, I couldn't decide on what to try. We got a Berry Delicious açaí base bowl, and a Paradise Pitaya base bowl, and a Açaí berry smoothie. My fiancé devoured his açaí bowl no problem. And the pitaya base was so good and fruity. I saw they have a green base and a spring time mango base too. Definitely gonna have to come back and try it!“
“Even from the menu, you could tell that this is authentically Brazilian. They offer many authentic topping options, such as brigadeiros. This place is significantly better than those chain açai and juice spots in town. However, the price was very high!“
“This place is great if you like music while you're eating (and even if you don't!) they have a wide selection of acai bowls and smoothies with delicious fresh fruit. They have an easy to use app if you'd like to order ahead with a 15% discount code when you sign up for their rewards program. There's plenty of seating and nice paintings all around the restaurant. They even have out free stickers all year.“
“Energize is my all time favorite place to eat healthy and feel my best! Everything on their menu is plant-based, organic, and DELICIOUS -- I order something different every time and am delighted with my choice! And above all, the people who work at Energize make the atmosphere incredibly welcoming, they even know my name! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!“
“Food I'll come back for! You order at the door, so best to check the menu before coming in, to make sure you get seated the quickest. They'll serve your food after the order. The food and drinks were ?? They do have the cold pressed drinks in bottles. So if you're eating in, maybe skip them. We had the Spicy Peanut Noodles, The Adventurer Bowl, Elote Avacado Salad and and drink Frozen Mochaccno, Orange Blossom Cold Press and Ginger Crush. They were the best.Vegetarian options: All Vegetarian, killer food!Dietary restrictions: Would accomedate any dietary restrictions. All option clearly marked on the menu.“
“i had the opportunity to try energize today for the first time today and the bowl was made so good I recommend to those if you are looking for something healthy and refreshing i spend about 20$ for just me which in today economy is the same as eating junk food might as well spend the same amount amount on some food that will be good for you 10/10“
“Food is SO TASTY. So delicious. There's a huge DIY bowl station to customize your meal. Vegan/Vegetarian options. Authentic hispanic beans mixed with a modern, healthy take, and they are so kind and patient while I asked what was what while ordering. Highly recommend making a bowl and the smoothies!Vegetarian options: Customizable food, easy to get exactly what you want.“
“My son loves their bowls and smoothies.Vegetarian options: All of their menu is vegetarianDietary restrictions: If anyone has nuts allergies then bowls can be modified as per needParking: Parking is freeKid-friendliness: Kids will love their bowls and smoothies. So much nutrition and healthy“
“Pasta Tanas, a hidden gem operating as a cloud kitchen, offers a delightful culinary experience. Their commitment to using fresh and healthy ingredients is evident in every dish, ensuring a satisfying and guilt-free meal. The fettuccine chicken broccoli pasta is a standout, perfectly balancing flavors and textures. Dessert lovers rejoice, as their tiramisu and chocolate cake are pure indulgence, transporting you to dessert heaven with each bite. And let's not forget the garlic bread, a crispy and flavorful side that completes the meal. If you're craving authentic Italian flavors with a healthy twist, Pasta Tanas is a must-try.“
“We stumbled upon this place while shopping and were so happy we did. I had a chicken sandwich, my husband tried the Classic and the ‘Merica, and our kids had the fries and chicken tenders. Everything was delicious. We rate it a 10 out of 10! Also, our waitress was amazing. I wish I could remember her name. Try Crazy Good Kitchen, you won’t be disappointed!“
“Sometimes I swing by before volunteering - they have a selection of smoothies, health shots (I usually get the ginger shot), pressed juices and there's a bakery extension (even though I haven't tried, the baked goods look great). The employees I've interacted with have a quiet humor. Not sure if they own the place or not, but they're calm & pleasant. There isn't really a place to sit, so take your orders to go. Inside is vibrant/colorful & has a lot of natural lighting.“
“Tried this for the first time when they came to a local 5K run and have been thinking about it ever since. Got the Pura Vida and it has acai, granola, strawberry, blueberries and honey. This hits the spot as it's not very sweet but just the perfect amount of sweetness where you can still taste slight tartness in the strawberries. Their base is not sweet like many other places. Tastes very light and feels healthy even after eating the whole bowl. The staff were very friendly, polite and didn't rush you to order. Inside has a few seatings and was very clean.“
“Checked out Maha Juice Bar in Norwood as part of a Yelp event and it wasn't bad but it's not something I'd drive out of my way for either. The offerings are limited and overpriced considering it's over $10 for a ham and egg and cheese plus another $10 for a smoothie that was super thick and had to melt before it was drinkable and left me with extreme heartburn so I never finished the orange, pineapple coconut smoothie. Actually, I didn't even eat more than a few bites of the sandwich because whatever cheese was on it didn't really go well with and I wasn't really in the mood for breakfast at the time. Overall, I did like the that everything is served in a sturdy to go box that keeps it warm...I had to wait 15 minutes before I could eat it because it was too hot Servers were very attentive and offered suggestions when asked what their favorites were. #caitlinscleaneats #4yearyelpelite“
“I can't believe I waited so long to try Mother Juice! I was craving a smoothie and decided to finally give it a try.I was intrigued by some of the odd smoothie options, and I was most intrigued by the Blueberry Muffin one, so I decided to order this one. It actually sort of tasted like a blueberry muffin in a smoothie form. It's definitely more on the grainy side with the almond butter, oats, pea protein, and cinnamon, but it is actually well-balanced with the flavors of the banana, blueberry, and orange. I probably won't get this again because I don't typically go for grainy smoothies, but I'm excited to try the other smoothies!I initially just came in for a smoothie, but I was so intrigued by the taco bowl with vegan queso, that I had to order that, too. The walnut taco meat was definitely a standout. I've never had plant-based meat made out of walnuts, but the texture and seasoning on it made it so delicious. The vegan queso was also delicious and blended all the vegetables together so well.The cashier was very nice, too!Can't wait to come back!“
“There are a great selection of smoothies and service is quick. Very tight inside so I suggest ordering ahead of time online. I do wish they would add some ice to keep the smoothies more chilled and less watery, and i wish they weren't so expensive! I went back to making my own at home :)“
“Great service and great food. Over priced for sure but when I want a treat without all the guilt of a sugar packed or processed treat, this is the spot. Nice and fast staff. The inside was pretty spacious as well. There happened to be a couple spots on the street for parking but I’m sure on the weekend or at night it’s impossible to find parking“
“I absolutely love the Vitality Bowls Pina Colada smoothie! It is so refreshing and is the perfect afternoon treat. They also have several gluten free options for food that I am eager to try! Their Cambridge location is so convenient, located right off Mass Ave by Market Central! Highly recommend.“
“This is my favorite spot in high street place for lunch. I also get the chicken skewer bowl. It's super filling and flavorful. You get nice servings of rice and the condiments (hummus, red onion, etc). The best part is you get two chicken skewers. After eating this around noon I don't think about dinner until seven. Completely worth it and they always package it really nicely to go. Staff are always friendly and ask how your day is going even when they are busy. You always know it'll be fresh and made quickly. I cannot recommend them enough.“
“I been wanting to try playa bowls since forever and today was the perfect opportunity. I came it at around 5pm and there were a good amount of customers. As soon as you enter the store you are greeted by a lovely atmosphere. The space is not very big, but I would say it is of a decent size and it's also very bright, which I love.The cashier immediately greeted me with a smile, which I really appreciated. As a first timer I decided to go with a classic: the Nutella bowl. I ordered a Nutella bowl but with a base of half açaí and half mango. The service was pretty fast and the sitting area is clean. The bowl tasted to good and fresh. I loved the taste of the açaí way more then the taste of the mango base. The coconut flakes and the Nutella were the perfect addiction to make the bowl taste delicious. I honestly can't wait to be back once the weather gets hotter. (I apologize if my picture is blurry)“
“The price is a tad steep (inflation is hurting us all) but the smoothies are delicious and the customer service is attentive and thoughtful. I asked for a thinner smoothie, doubled blended and they were very understanding of my needs.I can fully recommend them. Their green smoothies are delicious.“
“I can't say enough good things about Fuego in Norwood! This local gem has quickly become my go-to spot for delicious, casual burritos, and I couldn't be happier to have it in my neighborhood.First and foremost, let's talk about the fact that Fuego is not your typical chain like Chipotle. While I appreciate the convenience of chains, there's something incredibly special about supporting a local establishment that puts heart and soul into their food.But what really sets Fuego apart is their exceptional customer service. On one recent visit, my family ordered our usual burritos, and they went above and beyond by throwing in some rice and beans for our toddler at no extra charge. It's these little local touches that make a big difference and keep us coming back for more.The location of Fuego couldn't be better either. Being close to the Norwood Common is a huge plus. It's the perfect spot to grab a quick, satisfying meal before or after enjoying the beautiful green space and events there.As for the food itself, Fuego never disappoints. The burritos are generously filled with fresh ingredients, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. Whether you're a carnivore, vegetarian, or anywhere in between, they have a variety of options to suit your taste buds.In summary, Fuego in Norwood deserves all the stars and then some. It's a local treasure that offers top-notch burritos, outstanding customer service, and a convenient location near the Norwood Common. If you're in the area and looking for a fantastic burrito experience, look no further than Fuego!“
“Their Acai and Dragon Fruit bowls are some of the best I ever tasted. I love their version of peanut butter. It is a must try. I can't have enough. Online orders goes thru seamlessly and ready for pickup when they say it is. Quick service. They have a large variety of juices and allow all kinds of customization. Generous portions of salmon for their smoked salmon toast. Lol. So delicious that I just realized I forgot to take a picture for posting before eating everything.“
“So nice to find a place that uses fresh ingredients and makes everything to order.This shop is definitely a breath of fresh air and takes me away from the chaos of every day life. Kind of reminds me of places I would see in the country. The juices are fabulous the staff is so friendly and they always provide me with a high-quality product at market price. Clean environment. Outstanding service and product knowledge and overall delivery.Extremely satisfied !!! If there was one thing I would recommend it would be to wipe down the tables between guest visitsNot as a complaint only as a suggestion.Rock on.“
“I have been dying to try this place for a while now. I finally was able to stop in today because I had to pick up a cetering order. The first face I saw was a gentleman named Michael. He was a funny, humble, and an amazing human being. He answered every question I threw at him about some items on the menu and made some really good suggestions. I got the Mochiko Chix Sandwich with some tetras tots with some gochujang mayo. The food was absolutely delicious!! And tell you what, I WILL be back!Thank you Michael!Sorry about no pictures, my stomach had other plans.“
