“You know how Dominican food is. Good, hot, ready to go. Served right away. Good staff here. All the women were very nice. One caught my eye so I want to say hello to her. Thank you, I will be back next time I'm in the area. Go support if you can.“
“The products are delicious, the place is very clean, but I feel that the service needs to be improved, we arrived and no one served us, my family was waiting to be served and they had no idea that the barcode had to be scanned to be able to see the menu and no one told “
“First Option Juice Hub has the most flavorful smoothies and juices! Everything there is super fresh. Their salads and soups are top notch as well! Everything is so delicious you’ll hardly believe how healthy it all is. And the staff is so friendly and helpful. Go visit them and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!Vegetarian options: So many vegetarian options!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and dairy-free optionsParking: There is a free lot behind the restaurant as well as ample free parking on the street.Kid-friendliness: There is an extensive kids menu in addition to all of the tasty adult options.“
“#50 of 100A complete surprise to find this little gem in the heart of Metuchen. This female owned local smoothie and acai shop was a perfect find for us.We tried the wellness shot " healer" with turmeric, lemon and ginger that was served fast in a little plastic container for $4.Wait times were short even though had other customers waiting.The owner' s mom rang us up, gave us a little history of their start and told us of the history of being 100% vegan for you health conscious folks out there.Absolutely would come back for their protein smoothies that would be great after a run or workout. Plenty of spaces to sit inside or outside when warmer .Return : definitely“
“The 3 day cleanse was ah-mazing. I thought to myself that I was not going to be able to do it. The drinks were delicious and having one every 2 hours I wasn't hungry at all. Yeah day 2 I wanted something to eat but the drinks kept me full so it was only my brain saying you need food but I didn't. My husband did it with me and we both lost 9 lbs. Being on medication for a brain injury also had me worried but I was able to do the cleanse and think that it actually flushed me of all the bad metals in my system. Thank you RawFountain Juice. Well Done!“
“Food was absolutely amazing. The wrap was delicious and toasted perfectly. The fries are the right amount of crispy and salty, some of the best I’ve ever had. If you’re shopping at Costco, make sure to stop here afterwards you will not regret it!Dietary restrictions: Halal, and lots of options. Waitresses are very accommodating.“
“You won't find highly processed, unhealthy food here. They don't cut corners with Beyond or Impossible garbage. Having dined at most of the area's vegan eateries, I can say with confidence, that NP is top rate. You must come here for the wonderful, generously portioned organic food, friendly service, and good prices. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-04“
“Best Japanese place in the area IMO.. so lucky to live within less than a mile! Tried the pork fried dumplings today and they were freshly hand made and delicious, the dipping sauce was like a sweet soy, yum. Their ginger dressing is so good we always get extra for our avocado salad. Favorite roll is the Golden Dragon! Don't skip this place. Also very nice owners and staff, every time!“
“I've been here several times, and they have the best smoothies here! My kids really enjoy it, and it's a great way to sneak in healthy fruits and vegetables. I recommend the Tropic Green and Very Berry smoothie. Their beef patties are really good too. The people that work here are very friendly.“
“I'm lactose intolerant...This place is worth the stomachache. Their Hershey ice cream is to die for. They serve sundaes and cakes and an apple pie cake? Like I've never heard of that, and it's killer. The owners of the place are such kind people and the workers are extremely patient and helpful. I would go here again 100%.“
“This place opened after the poke place closed and I'm honestly so glad for it. I no longer need to drive out to Hylan to get Vietnamese food!The staff are amazingly friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and decently sized for the prices, which are pretty good compared to other locations on the island. It's a small shop and most people seem to take out rather than sit in. They also offer rice bowls and bubble tea in addition to noodles and sandwiches!The pho is a bit of a southern style, so it comes with herbs to assemble in your bowl. The beef was a bit tough, but it was probably to avoid people saying it was raw, which is the more traditional way to serve. The chicken pho is also good and made a pretty staying breakfast. The noodles are also decently springy and the broth is always hot.Overall, I hope they do well and I will probably be back some time to satisfy my cravings.“

“I had some time to spare while waiting for my movies to start, so I decided to walk around the food court. A new spot caught my attention. I thought the prices were kind of high, but I was really curious, so I continued on ordering. The cashier was very nice to explain menu items to me. I went with the cheese empanada and a pernil empanada. I'm glad that their empanada are decently sized and that they load up their empanadas. Even the cheese ones had a lot of cheese (please see pic), and they aren't had just air pockets. I thought the pernil embalada was very flavorful. Overall I'm very happy with my orders and would like to try all the different menu items.“
“Service was fast, flavor was delicious. I had coffee, my daughter ordered an smoothie and my wife had waffle and all I can say is that we will be back again and again because we loved everything. Especially the fact that is healthy without taking the flavor away..Congratulations, you guys a a really good place.“
“I cannot get enough of this place! Not only do they have amazing protein donuts, amazing protein shakes, amazing protein coffee and teas but the owners are AMAZING! 10/10 would highly recommend. Good vibes is the perfect name because that’s exactly what you get as soon as you step inside ❤️Dietary restrictions: This is diet friendly. You can order based on your goals.Kid-friendliness: Extremely kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Super easy as they have a ramp to get inside.“
“This place is awesome! I always order an almond milk bubble tea. While my drink always comes out great, last night, my bubble tea tasted amazing! The boba was cooked and sweetened perfectly, and the tea and almond flavor were top notch So, when I dropped my bubble tea while getting out of my car after arriving home, I was devastated. It was a tragedy! I could feel the tea soaking into my shoes as I imagined sad violin music playing in the distance. The boba is freezing on my driveway as we speak. I drove back to the store because I don’t live too far away, and because my drink was THAT GOOD! I was fully prepared to buy a new drink, but one of the employees remembered my drink and made me a new one on the spot, free of charge. I am very very happy with my experience. 10/10 recommend!“
“I love this cozy spot in the main downtown of South Amboy. Their coffee and breakfast sandwiches are good, which is exactly what I needed. The Java Dave's special is my perfect order with pork roll (or bacon), egg and cheese with a hash brown. The girls working there are very sweet and attentive. Check it out if you're in the area.Parking: There's street parking, but you normally don't have to park far if you can parallel park.“
“My favorite of the açaí-focused restaurants. The workers are always friendly and professional. Their menu is highly customizable and offers many options. Their smoothies are also fantastic. The app allows you to collect points towards a free meal, when other similar places do not even offer that.“
“Cute little neighborhood juice bar. Great juices, always fresh and staff are very friendly. We usually get the hulk (it's a green juice) and the turmeric ginger shots. You can always bring your glass bottles and get a 3 days' worth of juices at a time if you want to do a juice cleanse. Once you know what you like, you can always call ahead and just pick up.“

“My fiance and I had Beans and Leaves cater our brunch engagement party and we were so pleased with everything! Danielle was so helpful and guided use through the ordering process to ensure we had plenty of food for our guests. The food was delivered and set up at our venue promptly and professionally. We ordered a variety of items off their catering menu and everything tasted amazing. The breakfast potatoes were my personal favorite. I would have posted pictures, but the food was so good it was gone before I even had a chance to! Would definitely recommend for any brunch events!“
“Love the bubble tea at this shop. The tapioca pearls are never stale. My wife, who is the bubble tea connoisseur, 100% approves this brands bubble tea drinks.I usually go for the real fruit drinks with aloe or lemon jelly and they are legit refreshing and awesome.“
“Do you ever taste something and wonder how you ever lived without it? That's exactly how I feel about Playa Bowl it's so delectable. I don't like chocolate so finding a snack to satisfy my tastebuds isn't easy but Playa has so many options and is so amazing in flavor. The menu is huge and you can easily order the items on the menu as is or feel free to remove items on any bowl and just as substitute with many other items. It's a really popular spot so you might want to order online and don't fret if your bowl is ready before you arrive the staff will always place it inside the mini refrigerator. The staff handles the droves of customers with ease and work well together juggling online orders and in person patrons. The store has a very nautical feel to it you have the feeling of being at a dock or the beach. They also sell t-shirts, sweatshirts, tanks, tumblers for beverages, baseball caps, and joggers just to name a few all with the company logo. If you don't want a bowl feel free to order a fruit blended drink.....the best treat to indulge in can be found at Playa Bowl.“
“Fresh fruit's & Sweet smiles what’s not to love about this place. They alway’s greet you with a warm welcome and take the time needed to perfect your drink! Huge shoutout to Madison & Lexi! Two kind, sweet, hardworking women who make your day a bit sweeter before you’ve even tasted your smoothie.. 10/10“
“I liked this quaint lil ice cream or bubble tea spot in Woodbridge mall. We had some wait for seaquest and while waiting decided to try their waffles with ice cream. I ordered the chocolate waffle and asked them to replace m&ms with mangoes. They did charge me extra for the mangoes though. Overall the waffle was freshly made and the ice-cream was good too! Nothing to not like about an ice-cream and a waffle!“
“Just tried Happy Dayz ice cream in Edison - really good! Great selection of flavors - traditional American, sorbet, and some Indian flavors as well (and two sugar free!) Friendly service and fun atmosphere! Open late, even on a Wednesday. (Not to mention cheaper than Carvel) I recommend - go give it a try!“
“I JUST visited Jamba Juice and was blown away by the exceptional service provided by Natalie. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor that made me feel instantly welcomed. Natalie took the time to listen to my order preferences and offered helpful suggestions based on my taste preferences.Not only was Natalie efficient and attentive throughout my visit, but she also exuded a genuine passion for her job. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm were infectious, creating a pleasant atmosphere in the store. She went above and beyond to ensure that my order was prepared to perfection, and I left feeling completely satisfied with my experience.Natalie's outstanding customer service truly made my visit to Jamba Juice a memorable one. I highly commend her for her professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to providing top-notch service. She is a true asset to the team, and I will definitely be returning to Jamba Juice thanks to her exceptional service. Five stars for Natalie!“
“Finally tried this spot via Uber eats for lunch! You know it's good when you order via 3rd party and it arrives hot, fresh, bomb af. Steak quesadilla, 10/10. Ginger spark fresh juice, 10/10. Will definitely be stopping in in the near future to check out the service and ambiance. Happy customer, thank you.“
“If you love Indian street food, this is the place to be. It has various sub- shops serving dosas, manchurian, gol gappas, jalebis, paranthas, moms and meetha paan at a resonable price. I am happy that I do not live there, otherwise I would be visiting it on a daily basis.“
“I have always wanted to try Smoothie King and finally did! When I arrived I parked in the lot. I walked in and was greeted. The spot was super clean. I was torn on what I wanted because there were so many options. The employees were very helpful! I went with the Vegan Mocha Espresso smoothie, and it was healthy and tasty. I enjoyed my experience!“
“My favorite location is Princeton! The team collaborates effectively on every bowl. Every ingredient is fresh. Stop in & treat yourself while shopping along Nassau St.Vegetarian options: Veggie-friendly. There should be more vegan options on the menu.“
“Awesome ice cream. We have friends who are self professed ice cream experts. They rave about certain ice cream stores down the shore. We brought some of Uncle Louie Gs to one of their dinner parties, vanilla and my absolute favorite chocolate fudge brownie. They were hooked. Everyone there is awesome. I love the way they interact with the little ones. They treat them like their own.Go get the chocolate fudge brownie. You won't be disappointed.“
“I love Ralph's Italian Ices! The staff at this location are super nice too. They let you have a sample before you buy. My favorite Sundaes here are the apple cobbler and the hot fudge brownie. They are so DELICIOUS! The hot fudge brownie ice cream I swap the soft serve for Mississippi mud hard ice cream. Hot fudge sundaes are better with hard ice cream because soft serve melts quickly when it's topped with anything hot. Their Ices are far better than Rita's too! My favorites are the chocolate chip cheesecake, peanut butter and jelly, and peanut butter cookie dough. They also have cookie dough sundaes here too which are also very good! The cake batter a peanut butter cookie dough sundaes are the best! The choices are endless here! I recommend Ralph's Italian Ices in Hazlet!“
“This would mark the second time ever that I've gone to a smoothie king. I'm so happy they opened one up in this area because it was long overdue! The smoothies here were really good. I ordered a pineapple spinach and added mango and kale. It was BOMB. If you're into green smoothies, I'd highly recommend that you won't be disappointed. My girlfriend got a carribean way and she also liked it. The service was pretty quick. We got our smoothies within about 5 minutes of ordering them. There isn't much of a vibe inside because there's only 2 seats in there, so I'd recommend just taking it to go. Give this place a visit and treat yourself to a bomb smoothie.“
“I’ll be honest, I didn’t go in with high expectations because I’ve read some reviews before that were low and called the place mediocre and all I have to say is: they are wrong, this place is actually really good.The smoothies all taste amazing, the place is clean, there’s a bunch of food options, the staff is nice and overall the place looks beautiful.The fruit in our bowls were fresh as can be, the granola was good and they were big.I highly recommend the Sweet Palm Green Bowl.I will say though, the bowls are expensive. Expect to pay around 13-14 dollars per person.In total this order was 30 dollars (two bowls) which isn’t bad because it’s a voluntary choice, the quality is nice, the place is nice and so on.Give this place a try. I don’t regret trying it. It was really good.Kid-friendliness: So this place is right next to a gym and a high school so I truly expected there to be more young adults but there were actually many middle schoolers there with their parents ordering bowls. The staff was really kind to them and the whole vibe did not discourage younger audiences so I would call this a kid friendly place which is awesome.Parking: There’s so much parking spots because it’s in a plaza area“
“I’ve loved this place for their bowls for years! Better then anywhere else who makes them. Although they do skimp on the fruit there quality and taste is much better then anywhere else. Just add your own fruit if you want a lot of fruit. They put enough for me. I am always happy !“
“It was smooth as the smoothies juices and protein shakes avaiable to order. Fresh fruits and veggies blended in an Amazing aromatic flavor when it hits your palates. Fairly priced as well. I would recommend it for anyone who is worried about what they nutrition intake is.“
