“If you've never tried boba tea, please let this be your first. This is the one of the best places I've ever been to, and trust me when I say this, for I have went to tons of places in search for great boba. The place is clean and the workers are friendly. I ordered taro boba tea, crystal boba, aloe jelly, and no ice. That was my usual order.. until I tried the milk foam here. It is perfect! The texture is so nice, the flavor is sweet but not too sweet. I ordered that drink so many times that I can't even count. Another one of my favorites is the brown sugar cloud. Not many places have such cloudy boba that is this delicious.“
“A lovely place to drink tea, ice smoothies, and other drinks. The price is okay. You can control the ice percentage and sweetness for the drinks. I would rate them a 9.5-9.9/10 and encourage them to create more other interesting drinks and to keep up their hard work. A lovely place.“
“I always get the same matcha milk tea so 5 stars for that! This KFT location is reliable in terms of the flavour and consistency, has fast service and is always clean inside! It's my go to boba tea shop in the north Bethesda area just slightly off route from the Pike and Rose shopping center“
“Possibly the best food I’ve ever had in the DMV meets incredible service. They didn’t have the dessert we wanted, so they comped us the one we chose instead. Also, as someone who is sensitive to gluten, dairy, corn, and peanuts, eating out is often extremely tricky and limited, but I was able to choose from maybe 70% of their menu, which is super impressive. Great spot if you have dietary restrictions and want a lot of options.Just a note, you definitely want a reservation. This place is busy for a reason!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-, dairy-, and nut-containing options are clearly labeled. Ask about other restrictions if you have them.“
“I enjoyed the smoothies, the acai bowl was SO good! The flavor is great, the taste is amazing, and the service was ok for the amount of customers at the time, I wish the prices were slightly cheaper, but other than that it is a 5/5, peak!Vegetarian options: Very much alot of vegan options and bowls.“
“I was there today and the costumer service is great the people who works there are really friendly and nice.I’d order a mango slush and it was very refreshing and good.I definitely will come back thank you John and Mary for your service☺️“
“Finding Lulu’s was one of the best parts of our great vacation. Sakiynah and the nice gentleman at the door were incredibly hospitable, kind, and accommodating. The beverages, retail, and patio are A1. Everything is very clean. Definitely a little corner of heaven in DC. We can’t wait to visit Lulu’s the next time we’re in DC! Thank you Lulus!“
“Came here with my family for tacos were really try and give me only one lemon for for three tacos. The quesadillas were really good. They really big the drinks are for die for the food the sandwiches are not good, but they’re not that bad either the fries are hard“
“This is my go-to spot every time I'm in Tysons! I absolutely love the dandelion tea drinks because they taste like coffee without the caffeine I usually get the dandelion tea with less/half sweetness and the staff is always super nice and patient about getting the sweetness level exactly how I like it! Can't wait to come back!!“
“A small sandwich and smoothie shop that has fresh food and great values. My Classic BLT ($12.99) was huge and also had onions, cucumbers and lots of avocado. My Manapple Smoothie was nice and thick and refreshing. Located across the street from the Farragut West Metro.“
“Claudia and her team over at the Logan store are amazing! My partner and I come here specifically to this one after we leave the gym because the folks are so personable and kind and they know what we before we even ask! They go above and beyond to make sure we have what we need to fuel back up after a hard workout session. It also is amazing to walk in and see tu familia and people that look like you. Thank you Claudia, yall are the best!“
“Whenever my significant other and I want to get acai bowls, we always find ourselves coming to this business. The first time I went here, I didn't know what to expect. I knew acai was good for you but I wasn't sure if it would taste good. I was pleasantly surprised. I have not had a bowl that I did not like. Even more so, I did not find out until recently that they had a skin care line. I absolutely adore skincare products so the fact they had specific items to help with skincare from the inside out got me ecstatic. The location is a small permanent stand in the union market area. There are a multitude of other businesses in the complex. It does tend to get a little crowded in the area during busy hours. If you are not a fan of crowds, I would highly suggest going during slow times and days because it can be very overwhelming. There is a decent amount of parking but because there are some many people that frequent the area, I personally do not feel there are enough spots. I know there is an underground parking garage but you will have to pay for that. That being said, I absolutely love everything about the food and the vibes and will find myself coming here for quite some time.“
“My friend and I happened upon this place yesterday. Chris (the owner) was there and answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly. There were so many delicious-sounding options that it took us a while to order. However, we couldn't have been happier with our selections. I chose the Blue Moon bowl, and my friend chose the Tropical Acai bowl. Let me tell you, these bowls were substantial! I was very full when I finished, and enjoyed every bite. The fruit was fresh, the mix that it topped was perfect, and the presentation was top notch. I felt that the price was worth every penny. The atmosphere of the place was awesome as well. There was a throwback playlist from the late 90s going, and it took us back to our college days. Overall, the whole experience exceeded expectations. I actually didn't have any expectations, but if I had some, they would have been exceeded! I took my mom and sister there today and we got smoothies and Jamaican patties. Loved it all! This spot will definitely be in the regular rotation. Highly recommend. Five stars on everything. I love supporting businesses owned by Black people, and this is a wonderful business that I will be happy to give my money to.“
“My girls and I had brunch there. We all enjoyed the food. The kimchi rice was absolutely delicious!The space is small but clean and comfortable. It is helpful to ask directions at the front desk since you take an elevator to get there. Totally worth your time.“
“After the gym, I like to go here and get healthy ingredients needed for my body. I come here towards the end of the day, but they are always respectful and nice people working there. Very delicious smoothies and bowls!Parking: Sometimes it’s hard to find parking on a busy day and might have to find parking around the shopping center.“
“I’ve been coming to the Union Market location for about a year mainly for breakfast most weekends and I keep returning. Why? Excellent food and drinks, strong coffee, outstanding service and a very nice ambiance. Luckily it’s across the street from my apartment building.Parking: There is a garage parking option a block away that is free for 3 hours, otherwise there's paid street parking available. Difficult to find street parking during busy times of the day. Easy in the mornings.Wheelchair accessibility: Street to restaurant access is easily accessible by wheelchairs with no steps involved. Front door is double wide; however, need to open manually. Staff will happily help open the doors.“
“Stumbled upon this place when trying to find some late lunch and was pleasantly surprised! We didn’t try the juices, but the tacos were so good and for pretty decent prices. It’s nice to sit outside when the weather is pleasant too. Will definitely be coming back!“
“A cozy little cafe that offers the perfect respite from the cold outside. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly, and the food is delicious! Wish I got to try more of the traditional Ethiopian selections on the menu, but all the more reason to go back ☺️“
“Was looking for a quick snack while I drop the kids off at their jungle gym and happened to stumble across this cute little smoothie bowl spot. Lina made a really great recommendation to me for the warrior bowl, this was such an exotic thing for me, but I was willing to be pushed out of my comfort zone. It was so delicious and new to me, I will definitely be coming back. This place had a meticulous attention to detail and cleanliness.“
“i ordered a lychee black tea, which, at lower sweetness, had the perfect amount of sugar. the boba also tasted fresh, which is rare in the bigger chains in the area. service was also super quick--on the pricier side for boba but definitely recommend!“
“I believe this is the location, but it's close enough! What a great place, nice selection of smoothies and fruit bowls. Fantastic associates, friendly, and the place was clean!! Give this franchise a try, I think you'll love it!!“
“love this place! great people! great food! my fav is robson ❤️❤️❤️Vegetarian options: all veg not sure about vegan but all vegParking: always has parking super big free public parkingKid-friendliness: I think kids would love this placeWheelchair accessibility: Are you wheelchair accessible woo“

“Simply the best place for snow cones. The fresh fruits they use are of great quality and make all the difference, the portion sizes are extremely generous - you definitely get more than what you pay for. Despite being a small place, they have a lot to offer and their snow cones are definitely worth trying.“
“The Mermaid Bowl was so refreshing - I definitely recommend it! South Block had a great selections of juices, smoothies, and bowls so it was hard to choose. My husband had the Cave Monkey smoothie and he absolutely loved it. Again, 10/10 - I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.“
“Great healthy food here. The prices are a bit steep so it's more of a treat than a daily routine. The overnight oats were delicious, and the avocado toast was that plus a work of art! The dining area is bright and cheery, but you'll be just as happy taking an order to go.“
“We showed up because we heard alot of good things about this new addition to the old town of Kensington, at adds a little more flavor and spice to the historic area. Very nice staff, smiley, helpful and quick service with a smile! The area has a lot of nice little shops and small walk in places to check out the relaxed atmosphere will lure you in but don't Ben fooled they are BUSY!!!“
“Some of the best coffee I’ve had in ages, and a good egg-and-bacon bagel. Beautiful light, bright space with big murals. Lots of outlets. Very nice folks behind the counter. Lovely place where I’d love to hang out. This is not any of our most regular routes, but we go to Frederick regularly so we can swing by, and in general we’ll make a point of stopping by whenever we can!“
“This playa bowls location has been the most convenient for me since I work around here. Parking is easy, occasionally I would get busy, but never so busy that you can’t find a place to sit and enjoy your carefully crafted smoothie bowls. Love it so much!“
“We were staying next door to the Flavor Garden and came in for breakfast on our first day in DC, the service was good, the good was so good. I keep thinking about the scrambled eggs! They tasted freshly scrambled and made out of real eggs, and seriously the best eggs I have had in my life! The french toast and bacon were also good but not as good as those eggs! We returned that evening for dinner and my husband and I both had the burgers. They were the best ever! Great flavor and texture and so savory. I also had one of the best margaritas I have ever had and all in all really good filling meals! I wish we got a chance to go again before we left DC. Believe me when I tell you go check them out!“
“I've been to this establishment a few times. They are always friendly. Any question I asked was answered. I ordered a Green Detox and a Caesar salad today. Was made prompt to order and very fresh and tasty. They are very welcoming and nice.Parking: Was able to park directly in front of the store.“
“Love Playa Bowls!!! I’ve been to a couple locations and like to try different items on their menu. They have fresh, healthy ingredients which make a huge difference. I don’t feel guilty going here for a delicious treat! They never disappoint!“
“Naked Lunch (located inside Mom's) is a local treasure, serving up amazing, fresh, healthy, vegetarian and vegan food with a ton of flavor. The staff are friendly and have great suggestions if you need one, too. Everything on the menu is great, but we have a particular fondness for the kale Caesar, which has a vegetarian dressing that's delicious on its own, but when combined with the Parmesan, kale, and balsamic roasted hearts of palm, is otherworldly. We get this at least once a week and it hits the spot every time.“
“I tried their (smoothie) sky shake and it was probably the best bubble tea flavor I’ve ever had. I was curious about the flavor since blue isn’t a common color for drinks and they described it as “blue matcha with coconut.” I personally don’t enjoy the flavor of coconut but this didn’t have a coconut flavor to it. It was subtly sweet and creamy. The tapioca pearls were not as dense as I would have liked them to be but that may just be my preference. The price was about $10 for a cup so it was a bit steep but it could be due to the location. Overall, I would suggest giving the sky shake a shot!“
“Every time I go here the food and service are great. Z Burger offers way more than just burgers, so I can switch up my meals depending on what I'm in the mood for. Also, they run promotions from time-to-time, which are great. Lastly, the portions are huge! So its good value for your hard-earned money.“
“Listen the price is steel but the juices are absolutely bomb. Great burgers. I love this place. It's also super vegan. Wish they'd stop clinging onto the optional cheese situation for really no reason. Edit: apparently the baked good are also not vegan. Slightly annoying. Updated from previous review on 2022-10-10“

“Really tasty quesadillas and tacos! Sauces are also delish; nice heat on the hot sauce. A very, very nice server brought everything over and checked on us a few times. It’s nice to support a family owned business. We will definitely be back, and next time we’ll try the birria tacos!“
“I came here after an easy afternoon of work with a friend, and the coffee was lovely. The restaurant is a little cramped, but I chalk that up to it being a rainy day--it looked like a lovely outdoor space. The sandwiches are pretty pricey for what you get, but overall, it was a nice experience.“
“What began as a pair of blenders, a patio table, and a fridge has flourished into over 200+ stores, thousands of employees, and a mission to lead communities in healthy, sustainable living.The Playa Bowls™ concept is the vision of founders Robert Giuliani & Abby Taylor — both Jersey Shore natives & long time surfers. Abby grew up in Ocean Township surfing the beaches of Monmouth County, while Rob grew up surfing in Ocean County. They were inspired by chasing summer on surf trips to Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, California & Hawaii. Almost every exotic surf town they visited offered their own unique version of an acai or pitaya bowl. They decided to recreate their favorite recipes with their own twist at home at the Jersey Shore.They made a deal with the owner of the pizza shop they lived above on 8th Avenue in Belmar, NJ. They bought a blender, a patio table, a fridge & a freezer and set up a makeshift pop up stand on the sidewalk in front of the pizza shop. They spent a lot of time & effort telling their story and educating customers on the benefits of acai. As word spread of this creative & intuitive pop up stand, more & more people stood in line on the side of Ocean Avenue to see what Playa Bowls was all about. Rob & Abby realized it was time to take their growing business to the next level. Fast forward nine years & here we are, sharing our story & passion at over 200 stores nation wide.They serve our communities the highest quality, innovative products to support healthier lifestyles and inspire a world of fun, excitement and togetherness.At Playa Bowls, they LIVE there brand in actions and in the relationships that they make in our communities. Our focus is to provide a bowl full of deliciousness to every guest, delivered with authenticity and passion for the Playa way.There dedication to our mission, and refusal to cut corners has made Playa Bowls™ a standout leader in this space, helping us realize exponential franchise growth, opening over 200+ stores in the past nine years.“
“I ordered the special of honey harissa steak bowl! This was my first time coming to Taim, and I really enjoyed the service! The staff were incredibly friendly - much friendlier than I was expecting for ordering from kiosks. For that I'm giving them 4 stars :). As for the food, I ordered a takeaway after joining their membership rewards for 50% off, and I wasn't blown away, but it was decent mediterranean food. Definitely comparable to other mediterranean chains like cava. One thing that really disappointed me was the rice. I think they had given me the bottom of the rice cooker because it was crunchy and dehydrated ):. The honey steak though was really good. Will I go back? Maybe if I'm in the area, but not a place I'm dying to return to. Seriously though, their smiles brought a smile to my face!!“
“I've been a long time customer of Turning Natural and highly recommended their juices, smoothies and cleanses. My favorite smoothie is their Happy Hemp that comes with mango, pineapple, spinach, spirulina and hemp protein. So yummy! The black bean burger and spinach patty are pretty good too. They now even have açaí and pitaya bowls that I'm excited to try. They're also black owned and have locations throughout the DMV. You really can't go wrong!“
“Best smoothies around… tried the baja wrap and mango smoothie. It wassss gooood. There is parking on the street and behind the cafe. Staff is friendly, lively and polite. Place is neat and clean. It’s handicap friendly with wheel chair access.“
“We were starving after the ill-fated attempt to Beat the Bomb (See review). Too tired to walk the mile or more for full restaurant fare that didn't require reservations, all the places nearby were just bar food. And though i don't mind bar food...we wanted something else Honestly: didn't even know MoMs had eat-in-store options. I'd only been to the one in White Marsh, and it doesn't Cutting through the store headed to the elevator to the parking garage, we saw "this": the Naked Lunch And thought. Hmmm. Quick. Healthy. Non-bar. Why not? All vegetarian, vegan, lots of raw, veggies,and legumes, grains, and fruit and vegetable juices! Sooo glad we did! 2/4 of us frequent the establishment so we followed their lead I got the moolah bowl and a friend got a juice made of all kinds of fresh stuff. She said it was THE best fresh juices juice she'd ever had. Unfortunately they were out of both avocado and mushrooms, so I subbed brown rice and black beans. LOVED IT They roast the veggies, and just totally mix the greens and toppings n veggies altogether and dump it in a brown box! DELISH AND HUMONGOUS. I literally am on my 3rd meal of it, today! I'm gonna write to the moms in white marsh and ask why "we" don't have the ear in option? Staff: two VERY hard working folk going at it, being patient with us first timers and totally apologetic about the items they were out of (as though it were their fault). A short line started to form behind us and a lady appeared from the rear to help them out. Good to see an establishment recognize a need to come to the aid of other workers to ensure customer satisfaction“
“Stopped in for a quick and lite lunch around 1 p.m. and had next to no wait. I ordered the Fig & Prosciutto toast as well as the Tropi-Kale smoothie. The smoothie was excellent, and the large size is a great value over the medium - $9.99 for a smoothie, but that is in line with Tropical Smoothie and other places that offer similar products. The toast was fairly disappointing though, for $9.49 the piece of toast was much smaller than anticipated. I believe it was sourdough but the size of the toast was maybe 1/3 smaller than anticipated and for the price I would have opted for another menu item. As far as taste goes, the prosciutto was decent but the fig jam was disappointing. I will be back for the smoothie but I will avoid toast items in the future.“
“Loved my second visit here with my hubby this time. I ordered the same thing again with different toppings-- the Strawberry Lady consisting of strawberry ice cream, whipped cream, marshmallows, and fresh strawberries. My husband got the Reese's Blast that had lots of chocolate and peanut flavors to it. Both items weren't overly sweet which I really appreciated. The order can be placed by using the touchscreen or by letting the cashier know. The price can be a bit extra except it's worth it. Our two ice cream orders came out shy of $16 but it comes with at least 3 free toppings of our choosing. The only gripe I have is parking. The lot in front of the store is perpetually full. It's best to park across the street if able.“
“Downtown DC needed a great juice bar for a long time, and it finally has one. This gem is great. The staff is super friendly, and my order came out quickly. Lots of variations to choose from. This is definitely my afternoon go-to spot in downtown DC.“
“I purchased a dozen of large male crabs on October 27. They were big and meaty. I have been buying crabs from them all summer, and not one crab was bad. I hope they will keep up the good work. I wish they would answer the phone or post their prices on the website.“
“Superior to the competition. Visited a Robeks for the first time today. Completely satisfied. My six year old had a strawnanna berry and I had a piña koolada. The medium was enough to split between two little kids. Good selection of other things on the menu, too. Would definitely go back.“

“This place made me want to become a smoothie girl. So incredibly tasty, great healthy options without sugar... and incredibly clean. If you need a quick pick me up after shopping here in the outdoor markets during the weekend or after studying long hours, come here for a locally owned drink.“
“Love this place!Started going to the one in Alexandria, now I’m making a habit of stopping in when I see them out and about! Great açaí bowls and smoothies with tons of options for customizations.This location was no different. Fast, friendly, and clean :)Vegan diets are difficult sometimes.Thank you for making it easy!“
