“Was in the area, and wanted something fresh & healthy. After reading some reviews, I decided to try Zion. Some reviews mention the staff having some "attitude" or being rude. I didn't experience that. The person making the smoothies wasn't the cheeriest person I ever met; they took my order and made my juice. Totally normal to me. I don't need a parade, or fancy treatment for a juice or smoothie. The only thing that matters to me is the quality of the product... And it was very good!I got one of their detox juices, and while I couldn't inspect every fruit or vegetable to see if they were organic, they certainly didn't seem frozen. I tasted the fresh ginger, apple, lemon, and wheat grass. It was very fresh, and tasted great. The shop itself was small, and seemed very clean. Unfortunately there was no restroom in there, but that's to be expected with such a small place. Otherwise I was overall very happy with my juice, and would definitely go back if I was in the area again.“
“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.“
“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.“
“This coffee shop is a gem. It’s neat, modern, clean, and the atmosphere is super soothing. There are words of affirmation on their mugs, which was a nice surprise.I had a latte with oat milk and it was refreshing. Seems to be a good place to order some coffee, read a book or get some work done. I didn’t get to check if there was WiFi or not, but this is a place I’d be willing to use my hotspot for.The staff were very warm and welcoming — I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the neighborhood to try a pastry or two! Thank you.“

“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.“
“Best spot in queens to get your açaí bowl. I highly recommend. It’s so delicious and worth the trip. Very good quality and affordable prices. Let’s keep supporting the small local businesses! You won’t regret it. Excellent customer service and experience all the time.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Food is so yummy and nourishing. We had delivery and it came exactly as ordered and a few minutes earlier than expected. Driver was very pleasant. Hardest thing is picking which item to order! Muffins, acai bowls, salads, drinks. Everything was so good and so happy we ordered today.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options and non dairy“

“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!“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“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 ?“
“Healthy and delicious? Yes, please! If you’re in LGA, Green Leaf is THE GO-TO spot for smoothies, salads, soups, and even wraps (ESPECIALLY THE SMOOTHIES). They sell the best smoothies LGA has to offer without a doubt !!! I HIGHLY recommend the peanut butter strawberry banana smoothie. The cashier was very friendly and had great customer service. They recommended I get the large, but I decided to settle for the small. THE SMOOTHIE WAS SO GOOD I HAD TO GO BACK FOR ANOTHER CUP ( THE BIGGER SIZED CUP).“
“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.“
“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.“
“Love this local spot. We stop here regularly and have never had a bad donut, the coffee and lattes drinks are also super creative and also are delicious. The workers here are always super nice and friendly, and the atmosphere is just positive. Once we went in and they made fresh donuts plain for our toddler (we’d helped ourselves to the sugary creations) when they noticed we hadn’t gotten her anything. Love this local spot!“
“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.“
“Love this location. There are several Mr Wish in NYC. I generally like them but this location consistency is the best. Taste of the tea is always top notch, fresh, and done as you ask, amount of ice, sugar level etc. pearls always chewy but not rubbery. Open late enough for your after dinner treat. Good space if you feel like a quick break. Customer loyalty card is the icing on the cake.“
“My family and I have been coming here from the day the doors opened. And the service and products have remained impeccable. Every time I go I’m greeted with a smile and most times they already know my order. The thing I love the most is actually everything! Keep up the great work. A forever customer ?“
“If you haven't been to Claudette's, you're missing out! Healthy, delicious foods and pastries. Wonderful healthy drinks, hummus and other treats. I go every Saturday for their "green" drink! 10 out of 10 everyone. Associates are the BEST!Ask for Ro! ?“
“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“
“Finally made it in! Menu was unique and exciting! Globish was patient, kind, informative. Store was very clean. Lots of great products available for purchase. Tried the Water Pill juice & the Miracle Recovery smoothie. I absolutely loved both! Parking is free and available on street or in lot on Park Ave. Cant wait to go back!“
Bubble Tea • $
“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 love this place, the owners are extremely nice, and even if I don't come in for a while they remember me and what I usually order. I've had a few sandwiches form here but the shrimp po boy sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had and I get it almost every time I go.“
“Wow! So delicious, the whole family loved it! The fruit is sweet and fresh. The matcha ice cream was very good but what I was most impressed by was the coconut ice cream! It was soft and sweet but not overbearing like unnatural or artificial coconut flavor. The crepe was thin and crunchy. Overall a 10/10 this place was amazing! The prices are also very reasonable most things less than $10. The amount you get and the quality of it is worth every penny!“
“A consistently delicious meal. I love almost everything I get here. I'm actually pretty obsessed with the chicken salad wrap! I miss the old paint job though, since the bright white is less comfortable to sit in. I also wish there was more room inside, it's pretty crammed. Overall, a good spot for a takeout of a quick healthy meal. The juices are delicious and the seafood salad is great too. My husband really likes the Buffalo chicken wrap.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Went there yesterday and the atmosphere was amazing, the co-owner Ashari was super nice and welcoming. He made sure everyone's order was correct and explained the ingredients that went in acai bowls and how the juice was made. Excellent service and products.10/10 ?“
“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!“
“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 “
“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.“
“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!!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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).“
“My girlfriend and I were suppose to go to Ihop and for some reason found by this place. Upon entering, we saw all the selection of what we can order. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.My girl had a yuca and eggs combo while i had a Italian combo sandwich. The food had great flavor byt the best was the coffee .I would definitely recommend this place and I'll be coming back. This definitely was a better breakfast option than Ihop .“
“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.“
“Went there just before 7 am on Sunday. It’s probably the only thing open during this early hours. I was greeted with a smile from the staff and the sweet warm aroma as soon as I entered the bakery.I had no idea about the names of the pastries what I bought (see picture); I just picked whatever looked appealing and tempting. Can’t really go wrong with any choices here. Many items are bigger than expected with very reasonable prices.It was the first time I visited a Mexican bakery and I was very happy I did.“
“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!“
“This establishment may hold the best boba in the whole borough. Perhaps the whole city. I stepped in this place in awe of the 144hz 60fps monitors showcasing each of the delicate beverages. I ended up choosing a recommendation from the fellow barkeep and got a Thai Milk tea on the rocks with extra boba. May i say, this is the best liquid substance I’ve gotten my sweaty hands on. 10/10 sweet goodness. I bought 4 more to drink throughout the day, and let me inform you, I found the meaning of life. All thanks to Cocos Fresh Tea & Juice. My messiah.“
“This juice bar is a gem! Their smoothies are refreshingly delicious, and their bubble tea is a delightful treat. The variety of flavors and fresh ingredients make every visit exciting. Whether you're in the mood for a healthy boost or a sweet indulgence, this place has something for everyone. Highly recommend stopping by for a flavorful experience!“
“Excellent. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. They have the best selection of loose herbs and health foods. The food in their kitchen in the back always has fresh, delicious selections. They practically always have what I need, or a comparable alternative. Their prices are reasonable.“
