“The ABSOLUTE BEST Acai bowls in the world!Here's my go to: Mango, Pinapple, Kiwi, Hazelnut butter, and for the bases; Acai (the best made blend ever) and banana whip base. OMG, it's that good. So good for you too.The only thing sweeter than the bowls is the owner Michelen who has a heart of gold, down to earth, and spreads the magic to all of her staff and customers.“
“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 “
“Cynthia(owner) is attentive to details and her customers. Food is great. I have not heard a single negative comment. Everyone walks out with a smile. A real treat for a meal/meal replacement, a snack or a sweet treat. Don’t miss out on this gem. My personal favorite is the Peanut Butter Chocolate Colin. Hard to “
“#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“
“This place gives Tropical vibes, nice decor and music! I love the outdoor seating with palm trees. Awesome staff very friendly and greeted me right away! The Body Repair was delicious! A long with the "H Toazt" hummus, cabbage,carrots,olives and Asiago cheese! I highly recommend this place! I give this place 5 stars!!“
“This is one of the best smoothies I have had in a while. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a good smoothie. It’s very accessible if you are and RU student. As soon as the smoothie went down my throat I immediately smiled with a satisfaction. I 100% vouch for this place. The owner is a great mean. Customer service is amazing.“
“I have been a regular customer at The Juice House for years. It's such a nostalgic place for me personally and I know it means a lot to the local community as well - truly a staple of downtown Garwood. The ambiance is very modern and trendy with lots of seating options to enjoy your food in-store. There's also lots of outdoor seating, though not the most relaxing option because it's along a busy road/intersection. When I'm not with friends, I usually take my food to go, which is always a quick and easy process. I can easily say that The Juice House makes the best bowls (acai, pitaya, coconut, banana - you name it)! What really sets JH apart is their organic GRAWNOLA - it's so tasty and soft. The bowls have the perfect proportions of base, GRAWNOLA, and toppings, so every bite is flavorful. My go-to order is the Chocoberry Acai Bowl with honey, which truly hits the spot every time. Some other favorites are the CocoNutter Coconut Bowl and the JH Acai Bowl, but you truly cannot go wrong with whatever you order! The Juice House employees are always friendly and helpful, and the owner, Arielle, is extremely front-facing and responsive - so awesome! It's been so great watching their journey from the beginning, especially now that they're franchising. And throughout those years, the food has stayed consistently amazing. Definitely recommend stopping here, you won't be disappointed!“
“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.“
“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'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%.“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“As my first time at the store I was impressed with the service. Both associates were very attentive, quick and efficient with my order. I got the 8th Ave Acai Bowl with kiwi added to it. That bowl stood no chance against my spoon and stomach combo. Definitely will be looking for the local one in my area as I'm currently traveling out of state.“

“I came across this place after finishing near by shopping. I was greeted with a smile and message. This was my first time coming here and I WILL be back. This place was clean and smelled so delicious. I literally wanted EVERYTHING on the menu. I got some protein donuts and a açaí bowl! Very satisfying and delicious! The protein donuts are made FRESH!“

“I've been in here a twice since they opened and this place is great. They have a wide selection of bubble tea options as well as ice cream (rolled) and other snacks. The first time I came, I got the lychee slushie with tapioca boba, which was really good. Next I got the chocolate chip rolled ice cream with m&m's, which was pretty good too. The owner is very friendly and actually remembered me when I came in the second time (maybe a month in between visits). They have a loyalty punch card for ice cream and drinks and several games in their retro seating area. There are some old school games and a little plastic axe throwing area which would be fun for kids. If you're looking for a yummy treat, give this place a try. It's their second location and the owner is very friendly, serving up tasty treats.“
“I had heard great things about this place from several people and had to try it. They were right, there were many dishes we wanted to try, and the ones we got were excellent. My daughter got the Short Hills Sandwich (Steak, fried eggs, sauteed onions & cheese). I got the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl (Quinoa brown rice, fresh sliced avocado, cucumber, carrots, soybeans, fresh scallion, fresh ginger, sesame seed - I said no to the avocado). It was too much food, and I couldn't finish it, but my daughter did that for me.The service was super nice. The place was very crowded and busy but they were keeping up.The place is kind of a small diner and a diner-like selection. I suspect they could do a lot more business with more space and parking.The image is of a watermelon radish, which they used as garnish on both our dishes. They have radish texture but only a faint radish taste. Very large, 5 or 6 cm.Vegetarian options: There are several, in the way that any diner these days has several vegetarian options. It's clearly not a specialty of theirs, but you absolutely have non-meat choices.Parking: They have a lot, but it isn't large nor immediately adjacent, but it's not far. There's not a lot of street parking or municipal lots in that area so I'm not sure what we would have done if their lot was full. It was Easter so maybe I'd park in a spot reserved for some business that was obviously not open.Kid-friendliness: There were lots of kids when we were there.“
“A very cozy boba cafe, with delicious drinks and treats! There's always adorable & pretty paintings chibi characters on the glass and inside too. The texture of the tapioca is always perfect, the flavors are all amazing, & the texture of the tea is super satisfying. Everything is a 10/10 and the drinks are affordable.“
“Place is very clean, food is absolutely delicious and their smoothies are amazing. I get this around 3-4 times per week and have only good things to say about this place. Food comes out fast and their delivery prep through Ubereats is very good as nothing is ever spilledParking: Parking is a bit tough as it is on a very busy street. If you go around the block towards supremo supermarket you’ll be able to find a wider variety of parking.“
“Always a pleasant time! I have been in this location several times, and always have fun with the kids and manager working there. Not sure why a few people here have complaints, I guess they don't remember their first jobs when they were younger? Perhaps they just grew up spoiled and didn't need to learn the valuable lessons one gets from putting in hard work and dealing with a not-always-friendly public? Teens are nervous when they are in the process of learning a new job, and should be given encouragement and support. New Prov team, you rock!“
“Seriously the best shake spot in town, Leo does an excellent job serving up customers needs and always gives out positive energy. Her staff is new and take on the same rolls as if the business were their own. As a continuous customer, I always recommend this here (see photo). Such an excellent combo for me since I am doing a few cycling races every weekend and need a boost of help. Cheers!“
“This is my second time ordering from juice hub and I love it here! Everything is so fresh. My second time ordering I went into the store and Pete helped me. He was so friendly and explained a little bit about the ingredients used in their bowls. I will be back!“
“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.“
“Your staff is always willing to make me happy and are very courteous and happy. Unlike Smoothie King, I always get what I want at Playa! ? All of my comments are referring to the Woodbridge Avenue, Edison location!Dietary restrictions: They offer dietary guidelines. I LOVE the Coco-Berry bowl which is not an option above.Parking: There are tons of parking spaces usually near the store.Kid-friendliness: Fun things to look at, cool art on walls, cool stickers.“
“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!“
“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“

“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!“
“Multiple options of types, sizes and toppings for ice creams both soft serve and scoops. They handle the queue pretty well, the place is cash only. Soft serve was really good and the cookies and cream scoop was good as well. Nice for a post meal ice cream run..“
“I finally got to try this place after hearing many good things, it did not disappoint! My daughter and I shared the 3 cheese and prosciutto toast and it was delicious! The roasted garlic onion jam gave it a ton of flavor and the jalapeno toast added just the right amount of heat. Service was friendly and accommodating, and the seating area was bright and clean. I need to come back to try the avocado toast with an egg soon!“
“Every single time I have ordered from here, it is always correct and as delicious as the first time. My go-to drink is usually the fruit smoothies - Mango Magic is my favorite. However, I've switched it up with other smoothies on the menu, too.I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Ranch and Hot sauce on the side (to avoid a soggy wrap and I can proportion how much sauce I want in it). In the picture, it's the Acai Berry Boost smoothie.I don't live by and have never gone to this location. My brother-in-law helps pick up my order whenever he has a smoothie craving and I always know what to get. I appreciate how the order is always fresh, and smoothies are always delicious.One day, I'll swing by here. Until then, thank you.“
“Great place for yummy and creative Indian flavors of ice cream. They also serve a good variety of appetizers and small plate meals, which can be perfect, when you want to snack up or don't want a full meal. The staff is extremely friendly and offer people to try their ice creams before they buy some. The ambience is also very nice. Overall, a great place for families ?“
“Came to a warm welcome from both workers! I’ve never had a fruit bowl from here an he was very helpful with explaining everything an also offered samples which really helped me make my decision the açaí bowl was so delicious the acia was a smooth creamy sorbet like goodness the granola was premium fruit was fresh 10 out of 10 i totally recommend“
“100% my guilty pleasure. I was introduced to this place by a friend and am excited to stop in for an order of peach oolong tea with bubbles whenever I'm in the vicinity. The ambiance of each place is somewhat different, with some being home-in-the-walls and some having a place to sit and drink but rest assured no matter which one you go to, the drinks will be delicious. Service is typically fast.“
“Ono Bowls did an amazing job this past weekend at the LIV Tournament in Bedminster, NJ. Their smoothie/acai bowls were probably the best I've ever had! They were friendly, efficient & a pleasure to work with... definitely bringing them back for more events!“
“This is a cute little place. The ladies working were super nice & helpful with reviewing the specials. It seems like they have really good regulars that came in while I was there; they were identified by first name basis. I love that. Pro-Tip: if you want to know the food specials for the day, check out their story on IG. I ordered the chicken congee, loh mai gai/sticky rice in lotus leaf, chicken laksa, & the clay pot meat with rice. My favorite was the clay pot & the crunchy pieces of rice in it. Yums. It did take 20 mins to cook bc it's a "made to order" meal. The laksa was packed with flavor & gave my mother's laksa a run for her money. I lasted ordered a matcha tea & a Thai milk tea. I didn't care for the drinks but I have a feeling the other drinks there are better like the create your owns. Cons: hard to find parking at a busy time. They are closed Sun, Mon, Tues. Prices aren't listed on website, IG, or in the store so I have attached a receipt. Overall, I would definitely be coming back. Maybe for their fruit bowls & a different drink“
“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!“
“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 !“
“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’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 came in recently on an hot day and ordered the orange power! (definitely recommend, one of my absolute favorites). The employee Callie waited on me and she was absolutely amazing! She was quick, efficient and very kind. 10/10 customer service at this playa bowls!!“
“Honestly this location is the best I’ve ever been to. They are really really fast and accurate, the smoothies and açaí bowls are so so good and they have no problem substituting or adding things for you. This is really my go to spot whenever I go to Menlo Park Mall, highly recommend!“
“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.“
