The Real Food Studio

Let’s be REAL…
A greeting sets the tone. Three of us entered The Real Food Studio on Friday, May 16th afternoon around 4pm and was met with coldness. There were ZERO customers in the market, completely EMPTY of other patrons. Two employees were behind the counter engaged in a conversation (a younger female and older woman). They both saw us come in and continued their conversation. The older women made a low hand gesture, turned towards us and then went in the back. We didn’t get a simple hello, a quick hi, a smile, a nod, any words or gesture to utter any variation of welcome.

We split up and for minutes walked around the market to see their options and STILL The Real Food Studio employees said anything to any of us - completely ignoring us. The employees conversation that we witnessed made us believe that the they were not hearing, speech or visual impaired.

Although all three of us really wanted to purchase what appeared to be refreshing juices, we ultimately left.

Is greeting no longer a standard practice when customers enter an empty small establishment? Or perhaps it depends a select sociological customer population?

I drive an hour one-way to stock up on goodies here each week. It's wonderful to be able to find prepared food without dairy (I can't eat it anymore :( ), gluten (avoid if you have a thyroid condition), or processed sugars, all without a bunch of chemicals and/or unnatural ingredients. Plus, everything is #MadeWithLove. #healthyfood

Absolutely love the celiac friendly atmosphere

I've been here maybe 5 times with my little one & by the 2nd time, the owner remembered us. On our 3rd visit, she knew my order 😩

I always get the vegan flatbread because EVERY time it's flawless & made with love. The superfood cookies with chai & turmeric are PHENOMENAL! And friend, go ahead & do yourself a favor by getting TWO brownies, because 1 will NOT make it home.

Fortunate that this place isn't around the corner from me, because I'd practically live here.

10/10

The best place ever honestly. Great, clean environment. Incredibly friendly staff & the food is cooked with alllll the love. The vegan flatbread has an indelible hold on my tastebuds - no notes! The brownie I had today requires a return visit all its own. love!

Amazing food and atmosphere!! My favorites are the nourish bowl, chocolate chip cookies, and the fresh smoothies and juices! My husband loves the salmon tacos (I need to try them). The owner is dedicated to serving the community with clean healthy food! My soul just feels so good when I visit here such a peaceful modern atmosphere as well!

Clean, beautiful spacious place with excellent healthy food. My new favorite restaurant!

Not as far out of the way as you think! Take a drive down Medley's Neck Rd and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Clean, modern restaurant with freshly made, healthy food. Some is vegetarian, some vegan, some gluten free. They also have delicious smoothies, juices and desserts!

Food was delicious!!!

The food was really good, and the grab and go was amazing with the selections

This place is soo cute!!! For anyone that needs or likes to eat gluten & dairy free, COME EAT HERE!First, again so cute inside. Second, the staff were SO NICE and welcoming. They felt like they were behind on making everyone's food and offered the room free slices of cake.My friend and I tried the blackened salmon tacos and it was really flavorful! (Next time I will ask for no onions though because I do not like big pieces of onion).OMG AND THE COOKIES ARE THE BEST! I have NEVER been able to cook with almond flour; it always falls apart. I have no idea what their secret is but the cookies are fluffy and soft, but don't fall apart and taste great!I will be back :)

Absolutely the best place for healthy delicious food made with love. The chefs and staff are wonderful and the decor is bright which adds to the total experience. They have meals, juice, desserts, breads other offerings to go. I am here every week. I highly recommend this place.Richard

This has got to be one of the best places to eat there is. Healthy and delicious. And, if you have food sensitivities this is a perfect spot.

They have so many healthy whole food plant-based options. They have freshly pressed juice, pre-made or made to order bowls, tacos, smoothies, specialty coffee, etc. I can eat healthier here than at home! Tastes great, too!
