“I called the restaurant today on my daughter’s birthday (2/26/24) to ask for a table for 5 people including two children. I was told there’s not enough seating for everyone but they would gladly accommodate us at the event space next door. I agreed. My family arrived at around 6 and the two ladies took our order and Yvonne took a few minutes to prepare the table for us. When she led us into the room we were so delighted and astounded! The place was so beautifully decorated, and she managed it in a very short time! All the food was delicious! She made my daughter feel so special, she danced with the girls and helped cut the cake! I was very lucky and blessed to have been given this wonderful memory! It was such a pleasure to meet Yvonne, she is so sweet and has such a good heart! I will definitely be back again soon!Dietary restrictions: Totally Vegan and plant based menu.Kid-friendliness: Yvonne was so sweet with my girls.“
“Mother and Son Brunch … just because? at this quaint, tucked away secret gem in Queens. Truly the first place that I,ve found in Queens that does BOTH vegan and carnivore options WELL! If you’re like me where your household has a little bit of everything going on, this is your spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch! They are a vegetarian diner with an extensive menu so lots of good eats to choose from that are not salty or oily and well seasoned ?We had fresh carrot juice made to order, the pancake special with plant based bacon, eggs, home fries, sour dough toast, fresh fruit and avocado. Magnificent! They also have vegan desserts like apple crumb pie, frosted cookie crunch and so much more. The service was wonderful and we felt right at home. There is also a lovely gift shop right next door that has some unique knick knacks. Tell ‘em Avery sent you?Downside is parking is sparse so Uber or subway if you can. Note their hours are 8am - 3pm, closed on Tuesdays and are open on Sundays. Bon Apetit ?Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options. You will not be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: Perfect Vegan spot with lots of optionsParking: You might have to circle a couple times to find parking as this location is in a residential neighborhood.“
“Kung fu tea on north Ave is unmatched. I’ve been going for months now and during the summer they were getting new employees and it was not good. They finally have a good team and they’re killing it. Specifically one employee named Abraham is the best! He always is such a pleasure and knows how to make the best drinks! Shoutout him Abraham for bringing the best energy! Drinks have been killa ever since.“
“I visited this spot for the first time yesterday 3/7/2024 and was blown away by the fresh and delicious food I ordered and received. I had the jerk chicken bowl, tuna wrap and to top it off, a green leaf juice. Each item was very well portioned and made with fresh ingredients. The ambience was welcoming with the most friendly staff. Green Leaf Bistro was definitely needed in the Liberty, Queens area adding value to healthy eating. My new go-to spot from now on!Highly recommended!“
“Has its own entrance and Manu, but is connected indoors to the neighboring ramen shop. Extensive menu that includes hot food appetizers. Has the typical toppings and requisite menu options for your standard bubble tea shop and good flavors.“
“I love coming to fairy juice bar for a mama earth smoothie, it’s the only one of their smoothies I’ve tried and it’s so delicious. I tried the vegan nacho empanadas today and also enjoyed them very much. I’m so happy to have this place as a lunch option near my job.Vegetarian options: Vegan menu“
“What a wonderful spot! The owner is so kind and truly attentive to his customers. The prices are actually really great for such healthy options. The menu has a lot of options from food to drinks. The owner is food conscious so the foods quality is great and allows it to be affordable. Highly Recommend!!“
“I enjoyed the natural juices which includes the Sweet Greens which consists of fresh vegetables and fruits. The Strawberry Sunset is also another one of my fav. along with the Grind & Shine for a quick picker upper in the morning. Sandwich- healthy toast of turkey with kale & other veggies.“
“This has to be the Best Smoothie I’ve had in while thanks to Jose aka Jp. l found him very helpful, loved how he took his time to explain the product’s that would help benefit my needs. Five stars truly isn’t enough for the amazing customer service he offered.“
“Love this space , food and the culture that lives here. I recently needed a last minute catering order for my small business event and they were happy to help us out. The owners are professional & creative dope women. So happy to have this space in #TheBronx!“
“My go to place for bubble tea. Cute little boba shop with wonderful and kind staff. Very inviting store with tables and chairs to chill with friends or to just wind down for a bit. The paw-like waffles with custard are so delicious, fluffy and cute. Can't wait to try different types of drinks.“
“My limited knowledge of Ghanaian cuisine did not hinder my appreciation of the fantastic flavors on offer at Tasty Budz. The Jollof and Chicken caught my attention right away and did not disappoint! This is no simple rice dish; it is heavily flavored and cannot be easily dismissed as a side dish! The chicken was also packed with flavor, perfectly tender, and complemented the rice wonderfully.The "Morning Dew" smoothie was another treat. I don't recall all its ingredients, but the blend of almonds and banana created a creamy, indulgent treat that balanced the spice of the Jollof beautifully.Tasty Budz is a must-visit, especially if you've never experienced Ghana's culinary landscape! Can't wait to try more.“
“This is our new " go to" restaurant in Glen Cove. The decor is playful and inviting. The wait staff efficient and friendly. And the food absolutely wonderful. Every time we return we order something different. Especially loved the Shrimp Domburi and Chicken Shoyu Ramen. You could honestly have a meal eating just the appetizers. Don't forget their rewards program! I was able to get $6 off our dinner order. BOGO wine is a plus.Check this place out, you won't be disappointed!“
“The pina colada smoothy was great, did not care for the jerk chicken asian crunch salad that much. Also tried the shrimp burger, that was good. Enjoyed the music while waiting and food prices were not bad.Parking: Depends on the day, otherwise it should be fine.“
“The Armageddon is fantastic! Perfect balance of peanut butter, almond milk, wheat germ and banana. Pricing is great ($9) - just know it’s pre made but tastes super fresh. Customer service was great! The woman who helped me was patient and super sweet. I can’t give them 5 stars because a male employee was behind the counter blowing his nose heavily into a paper towel and proceeded to go back to work without washing his hands. Had my drink not been pre made, I would have left. Atmosphere was chill.“
“Great place to enjoy meals with friends, family or solo. Friendly and efficient staff.Lots of delicious food and drink offerings.I've never been disappointed with the food.Vegetarian options: Fresh vegetable & fruit drinks to die for.Kid-friendliness: Very relaxed and comfortable seatsWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“i loved there make your own bowl amazing i love island poke its great but i tryed theres and it blew it out of water very impressed and to the people out there lady with bad comment next time if your so picky go to store and have them make it in front of u and check it right away and when u brought it back you where given new food thats a++++++ to me thankyou for your awesome food hats off“
“This was my first time, I just so happened to be sitting in my car across the street. I decided to try it. I had tomato bisque and a byo bowl. The soup was the absolute best. I'm serious. I should have bought more. The bowl was so good. I ate every drop of everything. I also got the strawberry basil lemonade. I'd never had this combination before, but it was so good. Not too sweet, not too sour. Just right in the middle. It was refreshing. I will definitely be back again. My bowl had chicken. No fat on the grilled chicken. I hate the fat and gristle. It was perfect. Not dry. And the sauce, it was a perfect addition.“
“Love this place!! You literally have to go to view her artistry in making the specialty shakes. I have had a few of them and all are delicious. Not just shakes, refresher drinks and bubble teas, grilled cheese and more. Love her iced coffee too! Very friendly and accommodating. You should definitely go give them a try, you wont be disappointed.“
“I recently visited Lucky Penguin for the first time and had the pleasure of trying their matcha crepe, while my friend opted for the Ferrero Rocher rolled ice cream. Let me tell you, the matcha crepe was a revelation - it's easily one of the best I've ever had. Special thanks to the young man working there who recommended it to me; he really knows his stuff! The customer service was outstanding as well; they even gave me extra sauce topping for free. Yum! Lucky Penguin is a must-visit for dessert lovers.“
“Made to order and all the ingredients used are fresh. Reminds me of eating delicious açaí bowls at grappling competitions. Highly recommend if folks are also looking for other healthy bowl alternatives.Staff is very friendly as well, clean store and calm vibes ?“
“Roast & Co is a welcoming local cafe for delicious food and drinks. It is a great place to read a book, do some work, meet with friends, or to grab a quick coffee before hopping on the LIRR. I especially love the smoothie bowl for breakfast!“
“Love love love this place! Kevon Is extremely helpful and knowledgable. My wife and I walked a way with a lifetime of health eating and discipline advice and guidance. I would absolutely recommend this place. In addition the smoothies taste amazing.“
“I had stomach issues and visited Royal Way on a whim. Dr. Mary spoke to me and recommended some supplements and I am proud to say the issues are in the past. The staff is great, and Dr. Mary is very knowledgable. This is now my go to place for all natural remedies.“
“They have healthy vegan food which is rare in this neighborhood. On top of that the vegan food tastes identical like real meat. Highly recommend Citrus chicken made with vegan meat , Plant base delight with quinoa. Feel inside out healthy at this restaurant and look for their delivery service of my everyday meal.“
“Excellent experience at this location. Sociable and down to earth location it was a very pleasant experience. The food looked delicious and the bitters are beneficial to your health. And the soursop drink is on point. It made me regret not having bought more home with me. I'm grateful my friend took me there with him.“
“This is suuuuuuch a cool spot, highly recommended cafe and ceramics workshop, you can see the ceramics pieces made by the owner and her kid, they're just unbearably cute oh and coffee is good tooKid-friendliness: ⭐⭐⭐? even offer babysitting on weekendsWheelchair accessibility: Step-free entry“
“D'Melting Pot offers a unique latin flair on classic Jamaican Caribbean eats. I've never seen ackee & saltfish, callaloo & saltfish or oxtail empanadas!! This place has it all! The ackee & saltfish and callaloo empanadas are top tier!! They are bursting with flavor and you will not want to put them down. Who knew these could be so good in an empanada? I've had the whitening combo with fried dumpling and it was okay. I thought this entree could use more flavor. They have a diversified menu including sweet treats like waffles, salads, smoothies and desserts. There's still so much that I haven't yet tried. I can say that the empanadas are totally bomb though so if you try anything be sure to try those!“
“The coffee, the donuts, the atmosphere, the staff! Exceptional. The parking situation is annoying and I wish I had gotten there earlier to get fresher donuts, but that’s just personal preference. I’ll be back for more. I tried the Oreo donut, the churro donut and a cappuccino. The Oreo donut was my favorite but they were all great.“
“Came here for lunch. They have multiple healthy options for a quick Grab n Go style meal. The juices are well thought out and balanced. The Forever Young is delicious. They have been apart of the local community for many many years. I’m enjoying the energy boost as I shop across the street.“
“This location is AMAZING!!! The manager Lily is very kind and knowledgeable about the products. The staff are all so nice. You are always greeted with a smile! The place is clean. I highly recommend even if you go to another location to stop by and see the difference! You will be back!“
“I came here with my friends and I absolutely love this restaurant. Service is great, restaurant is clean, and most importantly, the food is just amazing. I will be coming back for more and will be bringing my family next. Thank you El Toro for the great experience!“
“The worker there, magnificent! Smelled a little like must (a lot) but nothing that would stop me from getting my kale, spinach, papaya, kiwi, blueberries, raspberry, peanut butter, spirulina, oreos, butterfingers, ginger, sea moss and apple smoothie!“
“Shaggy was very accommodating to my needs being that I'm disabled, he & his staff are top tier on a customer service level.Definitely exceeded my expectations, he went above and beyond which is much appreciated.Much♥️ to everyone there, continued success to you!!“
“Amazing food :) some of the best, if not the best, Peruvian food in nyc ❤️ tastes like some of the good stuff you can find in Lima. The wait staff is so friendly and lovely. I took my friend here for the first time and he fell in love with the cuisine. You won’t be disappointed if you come here :)))) xo “
“Passed by this place so many times and finally was able to walk in. Service was great. I had so many questions and the staff was very attentive. Menu had so many great choices and will hopefully be able to try them all! If I can suggest placing the nutritional facts on the menu, I like to document my food intake for the day. Other than that my protein shake was delicious! See you again soon!“
“Small, cute little spot with an impressive selection of smoothies, as well as teas and power bowls. The server that my bro and I met, Crystal, was super friendly and welcoming.We ordered different smoothies for ourselves, our parents, and my fiancé: Oreo; plain vanilla (not on the menu, so this was a special request); s'mores; mocha frappe. All so delicious...and healthy! What was interesting to learn is that none of the smoothies are made with milk, only water and the protein powder!The consistency of the smoothies was perfect: not very thick, not watery. Crystal told us that they are meant to be meal replacements and should therefore keep one full for 2-3 hours. That was definitely the case with me - got our smoothies early afternoon, and I personally did not get my appetite back until dinner time!I enjoyed my smoothie, but I came here with the intention of getting a protein power bowl (had been craving one from the night before). So it was a bit disappointing to learn the bowls were not available because they had been sold out.Great place for a healthy treat, but my advice would be to come earlier versus before closing time, so you have a wider selection available!“
“15/10 would recommend! I ordered the red bean milk tea with boba and passionfruit tea and both were exceptionally delicious (and this is coming from someone who frequents NYC boba spots). Price point is around the same or lower than chain stores. The interior is very simple, modern looking, and clean. Owners were very friendly and nice to chat with. Come support your local businesses and show them some love! I will be back soon!!“
“I love this place the food is always so flavorful and fresh but I have never been there in person. I always order through Uber eats and I’m never disappointed however when you try to contact them it goes straight to a message and that’s not good people have food allergies so you should either have a note option or a phone that works. I have food allergies and this is a concern for me Especially when I cannot speak to someone to ensure they’re not using certain things that could be harmful.“
“Came here the night before Christmas Eve because the East Meadow one had closed early. The two people working were lovely and made honestly one of the best bowls I’ve ever had! The blend was great and there were plenty of toppings! Very happy with my experience.“
“I just saw saw bro on TV and his journey, man!I did time in San Quentin, Folsom, Soledad, &several other prisons here in California, this story hit me!!!Just wanna send mine from Cali to the Bronx..I'm glad u finally got to sit on that bench!!!!“
“Very happy to have a health food restaurant in my neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised with my detox drinks. I get my fair serving of fruits and vegetables in a drink every week. The place is very clean and the service is good. I recommend this business. Great service and healthy food.“
“Received my second 10 meal lunch/dinner meal prep set today. Everything I am seeing looks healthy and on-point. I requested sauces on the side and less sodium than my first set, and the team followed my instructions.I look forward to ordering again in the future.“
“So far, 3 for 3. The 3 times I've been here, I've ordered the large peanut butter smoothie, a medium caramel frappe, and a medium strawberry, banana and papaya smoothie and although their smoothies aren't milk-based (like batidos/licuados), so far everything I've tasted here has been absolutely lovely. I would keep coming back as an alternative to the often-crowded Starbucks located in the hospital lobby, whenever I'm visiting the area. They also offer a 10 percent discount to hospital employees (of which I'm not one).“
“Love love love this store and I only been here 2x… the owner harry and the employee Brandon are so helpful with everything .. too much to write but he’s excellent and sooo many people came in to get their daily doses of vitamins and drinks.. he’s really good“
“Juice & Gems hands down tops my list of Black owned small businesses!! I come in once a week to purchase patties. The staff comprised of family is ALWAYS extremely kind and warm towards myself, my son and my mom. The patties are always crisped to perfection and the filling … ? chef’s kiss! There are other places I have had delicious vegan patties from but I choose to come here weekly because of their treatment. Customer service is of extreme importance to me & they’ve got that down. My only problem is that I haven’t, yet, expanded my palette to try out some of their other food options. I will and be back her to review!“
“The acai is of premium quality. The service is good. Atmosphere is calm. I am a repeat customer and I travel quite a way to get there. If you are contemplating trying, it is worth it. Ohhh, and the waffle package taste better than other Sobols'. I am a witness.“
“Really good sandwiches, way better than any of the Subways in the area. I'm coming here from now on. Also love the smoothies. The best part is customer service, the lady at the counter was very friendly, and accommodating about my food allergies.“
“Green Garden aka Brother Roy. I've been going to this store for as long as I can remember. Everyone behind the counter has knowledge of what is available in the store and you can pick their brains about what ails you and what to take to treat or cure your ailments. One of my personal favorites is the Cashew Pep. It is what it's called and does what it is. Lol a nice cashew infused drink that gives you a much needed boost of energy. A burst of energy. A pep! Located in the Bronx, on White Pains Rd, off Gunhill Rd. Definitely a hidden gem. Just don't get too much Cashew Pep. Leave some for me!! See you there!!“
“I've been a lot since I've lived here in the past 4 years. I've tried at least half of their menu. It's pretty good honestly. It's a little pricier than other spots in comparison, but so far I've had no complaints with the quality. Also service has been nice and straight forward too. My biggest issue is their hours. They don't always seem to open on time (10am) like they say they will. Their start time seems to be too late already with Planet Fitness right next door. I can't be the only morning workout person who would want a smoothie at least by 8:30-9am. It seems counterintuitive to business. Anyway, that's just a side thought on the way to the point that they are worth going to.“
