ESSENTIAL SPOT

Come with me to review @essentialspotnj located right here in Piscataway, NJ. This is a healthy cafe featuring protein shakes, protein waffles, bowls, protein donuts and even lemonade tea refreshers. They have an extensive main menu but be sure to keep an eye out for the exclusive Seasonal menu. I tried the Banana Nut Bread Pumpkin Spice Protein shake and the Hibiscus Green tea. Both of these drinks were made to order and I rate them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Treat yourself and stop in! #yelpelite #supportsmallbusiness #googlereviews #njfoodie #healthylifestyle #healthandwellness #essentialspot

Loved my Cinna Crunch protein shake! Super filling & the perfect yummy meal replacement! Love how they have weekly specials, especially Teacher Tuesdays!!!!!

Was here this afternoon….there was a girl with curly hair working over there…I was asking for some suggestions but she was arrogant all the time…it’s 2024 but I think there’s still some racists left in this world

The best!!!

Great customer service and the smoothies were amazing! I would definitely recommend going here!

one of the best protein shakes i have ever had!!!! Low in calories, high in plant protein and no dairy!!! The owner is so sweet and always giving the best suggestions! She always has my drink ready when I arrive too! Highly recommended!

I recently visited here this is fantastic! I tried the Beach Bum, Detox, and Germain Chocc protein shakes, and they all tasted amazing. The owner was super kind and helpful, making my visit even better. Highly recommend for delicious and nutritious shakes! I'll be definitely come back.

Would be great if they mention price for each item in the menu. Felt overpriced for what I ordered

This place is amazing. By far better than playa bowls. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I got the acai bowl and the protein donuts, and it was delicious. Will definitely come back!

Good service. Shady place, like it was dark from the outside and barely had an interior aside from like a fake tree. Unsatisfying protein shake. The one negative review amidst the other 5/5 reviews is a man claiming this is an Herbalife store, and he just might be right. I had to go in myself to see what it was about. Other than the breakfast oatmeal and fruit bowls it was just desert drinks for the whole menu. I paid for my shake and did not need to sign up for anything but watch out for these Multilevel Marketing Herbalife-affiliated places. I have not made my decision on whether this place is in fact just a storefront to push Herbalife protein powder food but I don't see myself coming back.

If this gets a response from the owner, just know this is not personal and I hope your business the best.

Post Review Comments: I did receive a message from the store thanking me for my review and they did confirm they use Herbalife products. I will refrain from commenting on Herbalife or this business's ingredients for their shakes. I wish them the best.

I have been going here since Karina first opened!! Definitely my favorite place to get drinks. For the price of the drinks, you get a GOOD amount. You literally get your moneys worth!!

I love the variety of different drinks. She gets very creative and try’s to make new flavors for every season/holiday and I enjoy that!

The owner Karina is VERY nice and friendly. I always ask for her recommendation on a drink and she never disappoints me ?

The only thing that is a little inconvenient is the hours. I usually want a drink on the weekend , sometimes on weekdays a little later in the day and they close pretty early ?

She has a drink for ANY mood you’re in… and the best thing about it ?? THEY’RE GOOD FOR YOU ?

FAVORITE!!!

Love getting smoothies from essential spot!

Delish açaí bowl! Owner is very nice. Inside is so well designed and lot of space, very clean.

I couldn’t have been more happy to order, service was great and the owner is so nice ?. I left with a smile and with a satisfied taste of absolute awesomeness. Definitely would come here again.
