Love is Love Always (LILA Bar @ University)

Just randomly stopped by for a smoothie while on the road. Got a strawberry love and pineapple avocado smoothie and they’re delicious! Small and locally owned shop who is very health focused which I was looking for

It’s all love at Love Is Love Always (LILA Bar @ University)!

LILA Bar is where a smoothie bar meets a modern-day apothecary. Blending traditional herbalism with contemporary wellness, they offer natural remedies and holistic products to support mind, body, and spirit. From sea moss smoothies and gels to vegan bites, handcrafted soaps, essential oils, and herbal tinctures, LILA is a one-stop destination for vibrant health and well-being.

The moment you walk into this holistic oasis, you feel the welcoming energy and healing vibes. Manny, the owner, along with his incredible team, make you feel right at home. Their knowledge runs deep, and their passion for what they do is contagious. They don’t just sell products, they embody the lifestyle.

For me, finding LILA has been truly transformational. Their sea moss smoothies, gels, and detoxes have elevated my health, I have more energy, glowing skin, improved digestion, less bloating, and I’m even losing inches off my waistline!

I’ve tried countless supplements over the years, but nothing compares to LILA. I love their ingredient transparency, the freshness of seeing my sea moss gels made right in front of me, and the confidence of knowing there are no artificial additives, just pure, powerful, natural ingredients.

Whether you’re vegan, new to your wellness journey, a seasoned health enthusiast, or simply someone who loves a positive vibe, LILA has something special for everyone.

I spent a Friday afternoon here getting some work done and enjoying a smoothie, and honestly, it might be one of the best I’ve ever had! It gave me the perfect boost to stay focused. I’m not super knowledgeable about all the health benefits they offer, but who I think was the owner was super patient explaining everything. Customer service was top-notch, and the vibe, music, lighting, and overall energy made it easy to get work done even with people coming and going. A few more seats would be nice, but I’ll be back, no question!

My 2nd time visiting and the smoothies, Manny's customer service, and the music are always on point. The 1st time I came into got the Love soursop, was my first time having soursop ever and I was quite impressed.
I've told several others already, and this will officially be my place for organic smoothies in the area.

I had the pleasure of visiting LILA (Love Is Love Always) for the first time recently, and from the moment I walked in, I could feel the Love energy. The owner, Manny, greeted and served us with such warmth and kindness. He gives off that cozy, homey vibe—it’s clear that his heart and soul went into creating this space.

We enjoyed a variety of sea moss shakes—each one fresh, delicious, and full of goodness. The vegan cake was absolutely mouthwatering. I loved everything so much that I ordered more shakes and another slice of cake to-go!

LILA has officially become my go-to plant-based spot whenever I’m in the area. I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

I 10 out of 10 recommend!
I called this establishment because I could not eat I was in and out of the hospitals and I couldn't find anything that actually stuck and sat on my stomach that was actually healthy good and gave me energy in the nutrients that I wasn't getting from everything else when I say I called this man stated that everything that was wrong with me he made me the best tasting smoothie I've ever had using C's mom's and other good healing agents and nutrients I was very very satisfied It is a little pricey for some people but he's using all natural ingredients he has a lot of the herbs in everything that you need in stores and you can tell you about them It was a very good trip I went in there cranky and came out doing the fat girl dance happy and by the time I was done with the extra large cup I didn't even finish the whole cup I actually felt full I felt energized and before that I really haven't eaten in like 3-4 days I appreciate this place I will be back again
