“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“
“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!“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“I've been wanting to try some of the SuperBowls for awhile and finally did! I loved The Tropical Bowl (left out the bananas and pineapple just due to personal preference and dietary issues). I like that it was not overwhelmingly sweet and refreshing!“

“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!“
“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.“
“My recent visit to Mango Mango Dessert in Livingston was an absolute delight! After a hearty dinner at home, we couldn't resist the temptation for dessert, especially after hearing so much about their mango delights. The variety of mango-infused desserts, drinks, and cakes left us spoilt for choice. We indulged in their tantalizing mango creations and were not disappointed! The ambiance was cozy, and the service was good. We're already planning our next visit to try out more of their mouthwatering offerings. Highly recommended for all mango lovers out there! Check out some of the captures we took during our visit.“
“PROS:- This place makes their bases (which they have numerous kinds of) right in front of you. It's not premade like Frutta Bowls or Playa Bowls. So you can customize it completely.- The portions are HUGE especially compared to Frutta Bowls. I much rather have more of the base (which is difficult to make at home) than the slices of fruit on top (which is easy to do at home).- Krystina and Shanel made our bowls and were so warm and patient -- explaining all of their options and even giving us free samples of their sugar free peanut butter which they grind right in front of you (this was the topping we chose -- highly recommend).- They even have a BOGO on Wednesdays if you use the app. You can bet we will be there again this week for it.CONS:- Acai bowls in general are not cheap. But I've made many acai bowls myself at home, and those 100% acai packets from Trader Joe's are a pain to open and work with. So, to me, the cost is well worth the hassle from making the base at home.We've found our new acai bowl spot in Livingston. Thank you for being here Rush Bowls =)“
“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.“
“From the 1st sip I decided I was going to be a regular. Naija girl here and loving it!! The ambiance and aesthetics make me feel right at home. Just come here. I don’t get my juices from anywhere else in the neighbourhood.UPDATE: I wish I could leave 10 stars tbh. I finally tried the avocado salad and when I tell you I was daydreaming about this salad hours after I finished it … if the menu stays like this and/or improves even (idk how it’s already so fantastic) I’m a customer for LIFE. Those spicy injera chips are now constantly in my house. I’m new to NJ otherwise I would have everyone I know coming here. Simply so fresh and delicious.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Yesterday we stopped by for the first time. Sharon is such a sweet heart. The customer service was great and so were our smoothies. We got the defense and added kale to it and also got the Kobe. Both drinks 10/10. They also sells juices by the gallon. This will definitely be our new go to spot!“
“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!“
“The ice cream was delicious and not super high on sugar as in many other stores. The seating area inside is ok, few chairs, dimmed light, so we prefered to take away. Staff was fast and professional. We ordered Mango Tango and Mr Kinder, we rate both excellent. Also ordered mango bubble tea which was average.“
“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.“

“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!“
“I must stress this to you as soon as you enter. The proprietor is really friendly! I neglected to order the stew chicken, but I did order the jerk, oxtail, and beef patties. You will not be let down! Your eyes will roll to the back of your head due to the sweetness and tenderness of the meats ???? soooo amazing!!!!!! Once more, go here if you want to enjoy excellent flavor and customer service!!!!!!“
“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!“
“The food is great, but they don't understand how to not provide utensils. 90% of the time, I order online and pick up. In the notes on the item, I say "no utensils". As you're checking out, there's a field specifically marked "Do you want utensils?" and I write "no utensils". But they always give me utensils.Is it a big deal? No. Are their salmon and tuna salads fantastic? Yes. But would it be nice if they paid attention to their own ordering system? Yeah.“
“Great spot to grab a smoothie, juice, or acai bowl relatively quicky. They seem to use all fresh, whole ingredients as well. Have never had an issue or a complaint at any jungle juice I've been to - can easily customize your order, but be careful of the charges.“
“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!“
“Vegetarian options: Acai bowls, oatmeal, pitaya bowls, smoothies, granola, nut butters etc, it's mostly all vegetarian options!Parking: Lots of spot in back lot and there's a backdoor to get inKid-friendliness: Yes very kid friendly! I've brought my kid before and plenty of seats available“
“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“

“Hello, first and foremost I would like to say the service here is excellent. There are many healthy low calorie high protein options available here. Personally, I love the protein waffle it is a very filling option. The prices are also pretty affordable. There are more options beyond just protein drinks; there are tea bombs, fruit bowls, and donuts.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“I was so eager to try the rolled ice cream that I never took a picture. Sorry ? but….the staff was excellent, the different frozen treats and options of flavors and toppings…. immaculate.My overall is a definite 10 out of 10Parking: There was enough parking to supply an entire mall, which is where it’s located in a small shopping closet, but it has a grand amount of enjoyment there.“
“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 “
