“Green Mandala is one of our new go-to spot for smoothies and açaí bowls in NYC! We visited their location on E 28th St, and it was such a pleasant experience. The shop is cozy, super clean, and has a great vibe with friendly staff. It also had a good value to price ratio. They offered so many different options. We'd definitely go back for more! The Blue Dragon smoothie and Classic Nut Butter are a must try.

“Fire - anything you order from Cuffie Ridge is straight fire. This vegan smoothie café is a true gem for anyone looking for fresh, healthy, and delicious options. Every smoothie is bursting with vibrant, natural flavors, and it’s clear they use homemade and quality ingredients. I was amazed by the variety on the menu—whether you’re in the mood for something fruity, green, or protein-packed, there’s something for everyone. The owner is incredibly charming and the atmosphere feels like walking into a warm hug. It’s a go-to spot for a nourishing pick-me-up that feels as good as it tastes. Highly recommend!“

“Was my first time. Found the environment friendly and warm, Danna the lady who greeted me, I found to be knowledgeable, helpful and patient with all my questions, helped me decide and create the perfect customized smoothie. I was able to sample the berry smoothie which was great ( even though I'm not a fan of bananas as they usually overwhelm everything else, however they balance the ingredients / flavors well and liked the berry blend.
I was able to substitute ingredients to blend the perfect flavor I was looking for. Acai your way, and the Berry smoothies are great. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a healthy option or enjoy a good smoothie! If you're not sure what you want ask Danna, she is great with customers!“

“It’s a fantastic spot for health-conscious drinks and snacks.
The fresh ingredients make everything taste great, and there’s a wide variety to choose from.
I especially loved the Mango Mango bubble tea.
The self-checkout station is a nice touch, with descriptions, pictures, and prices for each item, making it easy to decide what to order. Highly recommended for a quick, healthy stop!“

“I have lived in the area for almost two years and I cannot believe it took me so long to come here! This place is amazing vegan food and everything is delicious. The owner is incredibly nice and can give the best recommendations. I am currently obsessed with their mushroom coffees or mushroom matchas. If you haven't visited yet you must!“

“This is a fantastic find! With very little juice bars in this area, Tutti Frutti juice bar deserves a repeated and loyal visit. Service is friendly, juices are fresh and healthy, the menu is incredibly diverse. Although space is limited, it's definitely not cramped. If you're driving, looking for parking in the surrounding area shouldn't be that bad, just don't double park directly out front, this part of Park Avenue is incredibly active. Ultimately, Tutti Frutti is a go, and a go again!“
“I DO NOT buy from street trucks. EVER. However, the temperatures were unbearable, and my child and I needed something cold and healthy to drink. I saw how many incredible reviews were here, and I decided to try it out as it was on the way to the library from the playground.
Well, I cannot say "ever" anymore because AWS is EXCELLENT. The smoothies are REAL, not watered down, and they even cut up some fresh fruit for my highly selective child to eat from a cup. I could not be more satisfied. Quality product and great people. THIS is how you run a business.“

“I’ve been coming here since they opened and I love the smoothies and the great service. I have my goto smoothie — Mango Madness — a perfect blend of sweetness, tartness and a little spice from the hot honey ;). If you are lucky, you may get a free piece of fresh fruit while you wait. It’s a family run shop and I love this place. They recently started serving a delicious lunch menu as well. I come by at least twice a week!“

“Food was really good, had the taco salad, shell was crispy and delicious, the salsa was flavorful without being too spicy. Even though the set up is similar to something like Chipotle the food was fresh a it had a large enough turn over to not have food sitting long. Easy to order and plenty of seating which is premium in this area. Horchata was also delicious must have.“
“Clean, bright and fresh. Island roots is the best smoothie spot in the area! They even have food and soup options too! I really appreciate the customer service there. I was able to customize my smoothie how I wanted it. The workers were very friendly.“

“Very nice place that has all kinds of fruit concoctions, candy and bagged snacks. The prices are a bit high but the selection is very nice. I really like the mango pasta and the mango salad! I hope that they stay open for many years because there aren't many places like these in the neighborhood that offer fun and exciting food options.“

“Juices for life is such a gem in this neighborhood literally everyone tells me to go here. I loved the initial aroma when I came in of all the different fruits and vegetables being juiced.
Yes, I’m a fruit dork ? and I love it
I chose to break my fast at 1pm with a nice fruit protein smoothie. It was perfect, well balanced not too sweet …
I felt fairly light afterwards
I’ll be back I have stuff I want try !

“The owner of this store and all the staff are exceedingly kind and generous. Besides the fact that they serve some of the best vegan food in the area, I always look forward to being received by their warm vibes.My favorite items here are the buffet stews, hearty soups, porridge, mac and cheez and the plantain patty. Their smoothies are also unique and delicious! What I like most is i never feel guilty about eating here, since everything is so fresh, healthy and made with some magical recipe since I end up craving their food constantly.I don’t typically give five star reviews bc I’m so picky, but I’ve been coming here for over a year and they deserve it. I hope they never close!!I volunteer with the local classon community fridge and they’ve also very generously donated items they have extra of at the end of the day. Wish every establishment did the same!

“I usually buy fruit smoothies here (avocado with milk, or a mix of 2 fruits with milk) because I like simple smoothies.But today I tried their Detox Dinner Smoothie (Mango, blueberry, coconut, kale, avocado, flax seed, cayenne pepper) and it was surprisingly delicious as a combination.The mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy made this drink very refreshing and energising after 7hrs of deep cleaning my apartment on a Sunday and a 2hr pole class.This drink got me my second wind.“

“I get the green juices and they are good, not too gingery but there is a problem. A 20 oz juice and a 24 oz juice are really the same. Look at the pic of the juice. Note where the juice lines are and then look at the foam heads.
So note, 24 oz juice is only about getting more foam. Yuck.“
“The Tropical bowl was beautiful! I love to eat açaí bowl, as an afternoon snack or as breakfast and the truth is, the taste was delicious. I find the prices affordable and the service 10/10. I will continue trying this store, its products, I know it will not disappoint me.“

The drinks are top-notch—each smoothie is made with high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the freshness in every sip. Their avocado toasts are a must-try too! They’re always perfectly prepared, with fresh ingredients and great flavor. Whether you’re looking for a healthy snack or a refreshing drink, Smoothie Bar is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!“

“Love the food and vibes here. I had the PB crunch toast, which was great. My wife had the acai bowl, which was a little watery (maybe a personal preference) but she was still happy with it. Will be back to try other things on the menu. And the coffee.“

“I can’t believe I haven’t found this spot sooner! My boyfriend and I stopped by and got the mango smoothie, the nyc care smoothie, and a jerk plantain patty. The ingredients are so fresh with real fruits/veggies and the smoothies were very balanced (tasty but also not too sweet). The patty was flaky, well-seasoned, and delicious. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This restaurant, this place. It's hard to describe in words what the food on their menu does to you. It tasted like Heaven. Never have I had dishes, vegan, that made you realize why it's not so difficult to skip eating meat for the rest of your life. It was just awesome, mind-blowing, unforgettable, everything to crave, gone down the road, howling in tastiness and wonderful. Offer yourself an unforgettable evening, book a table at Candle. Apart from that all, the staff is friendly, worldly, skillful, and what you want to experience, while a night on the town. Not a once in a lifetime experience, because you can go there as much as you want and as much as your purse allows you.“

“A neighborhood treat, and they have really good espresso too! I also love the fresh vibes of this small and upbeat coffee shop.
I almost exclusively drink espresso and not everyone delivers the consistency and flavor for an enjoyable shot. Hibiscus does without any frills or pretense - their well sourced, roasted and fresh beans, attentive brewing and friendly attitude delight me every time.
Come here for your caffeine fix in any form, on-the-go to the part or train, or sip it in the cosy corner table by the storefront window.
And, remember, you are supporting a minority owned neighborhood gem that you can keep coming back to! ✨“

“Really decent smoothie bowl shop! I was surprised to see a smooth bowl location that could customize so easily. A lot of the places I have visited before do not allow much customization because of pre-made bowls and they never customize without charging extra. I really enjoyed that about this place! The staff here were really kind and the owner was really sweet! It was a nice quaint location with a cool ambience. It had a lot of fresh colors and accents and it gave a nice vibe. The location was perfect next to the Newport station and its close to the Hudson which Made eating with a view great! I would highly recommend the acai base. I was the biggest fan of the blue narwhal but I understand how it could be a fan favorite for those who love coconut! Overall, I'd go again and really recommend it!
Vegetarian options: All bowls were vegetarian. They were great about keeping common allergens separate.“

“Lovely little spot. Went with a group of coworkers and had a great experience. They gave us some beef jerky because of the "wait" (there were a lot of us, service wasn't actually slow, that's just the reason he gave!) and because a coworker was interested in trying it earlier on. Super friendly, will go back the next time I'm in NYC.“

“This is my favorite coffee/pastry shop in my neighborhood. The cakes/pastries are delicious and baked daily. Lots of variety too, including savory -their parmesan / leek pastry is to die for. Oh, and don't get me started on their chocolate vanilla cake which I took to an event where everyone raved about it!“

“Besides their huge selection of veggie & fruit juices made to order they also sell different healthy & nutritional options like açaí bowls, fruit salads & snacks.
I personally love to come here with my 4 year daughter to have their artesanal paletas/ Colombian handcrafted gelato, we have tried most of them and absolutely love coconut-Dulce de leche, Nutella & lulo. They are delicious with rich flavors and very moderate sweetness, we love to sit in their patio and enjoy the birds, the cats and the cozy, nature feeling they have created.
Vegetarian options: Menu is very detailed and includes names of ingredients in each description.
Parking: Parking is difficult in this spot
Kid-friendliness: My toddler adores coming here, they have lots of birds in their little patio as well as cats.
She finds this place adorable and super cute.“

“Finally, a place to get fresh nước mìa in Manhattan. ??
I’ve been going here since it opened, and it does not disappoint! Sugarcane is pressed fresh in front of you. Options to mix in other fruit like watermelon, strawberry, kumquat, etc. for a small additional fee. I prefer without fruit, but the kumquat option is very good.
There’s usually only 1 employee working, who has to take orders and fulfill them, so expect a short wait on the weekend.
Take out only at a walk up window, no seating.
The price feels a little steep if you’re used to buying nước mìa outside of the city, but makes sense for Manhattan considering the labor and scarcity of it. Extra charge for no ice.“

“So i don’t live in Greenpoint but i was visiting a friend for lunch and she brought me here. The manager, Melinda was soooo sweet and welcoming. we chatted for a bit and i mentioned that i had some grogginess and stomach pain recently and she CUSTOM MADE me the MOST delicious açaí bowl ive ever had and i don’t even like acai. the açaí was fresh, the granola was crunchy and the coconut flakes added the perfect touch. the experience was truly mind blowing, i will be coming back every time. slightly even considering moving the greenpoint for this place… ?“
