“Superior to the competition. Visited a Robeks for the first time today. Completely satisfied. My six year old had a strawnanna berry and I had a piña koolada. The medium was enough to split between two little kids. Good selection of other things on the menu, too. Would definitely go back.“

“The best acai in the area! Their menu is easy to follow with so many delicious options. Fresh and plentiful ingredients, excellent customer service and a great experience overall. Limited parking but worth waiting for a space available. Highly recommend.“

“Had the pleasure of hearing the protocol for a new trainee this morning. The attention to details along with the systems in place for the new trainee to grasp was amazing. No wonder there is impeccable consistency with each and every order I’ve made since you guys opened at Pike & Rose. Two thumbs up.👍🏼

“I love Acai Bowls and have had them many places. Playa Bowls has one of the best. I love the Pura Vida ( I get a banana added on). The bowls are generous and full of fruit; when you dig into the acai, there's even more fruit and delicious granola buried underneath! Perfect for a refreshing and healthy summer meal or treat!!“

“Stopped in for a quick and lite lunch around 1 p.m. and had next to no wait. I ordered the Fig & Prosciutto toast as well as the Tropi-Kale smoothie. The smoothie was excellent, and the large size is a great value over the medium - $9.99 for a smoothie, but that is in line with Tropical Smoothie and other places that offer similar products. The toast was fairly disappointing though, for $9.49 the piece of toast was much smaller than anticipated. I believe it was sourdough but the size of the toast was maybe 1/3 smaller than anticipated and for the price I would have opted for another menu item. As far as taste goes, the prosciutto was decent but the fig jam was disappointing. I will be back for the smoothie but I will avoid toast items in the future.“

“Enjoyed a nice late lunch on a chilly April day in DC. At 3pm on a Saturday, the place was busy but there were a few open tables. The ramen with tofu and peanut noodles both hit the spot, and we'd happily order these again in the future. The date tahini smoothie was excellent, though a bit pricey. Order at the counter and they bring drinks and food to you. All of the employees we interacted with were nice. Look forward to coming again. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-12“

“There is a reason I've been a regular for a little over a year. When I first encountered this location, I was absolutely satisfied. The food and food presentation was exceptional; THE MATCHA BOWL WITH PEANUT DRIZZLE IS FIRE!!! The lovely ladies that work in the front are so sweet and always welcome me, regardless of being a regular. The atmosphere is clean and clear, I spend most of my remote-academic work in the location. Its like doing homework at a coffee shop... but so much better!!!“

“Fun seasonal items and consistent with their product. Staff is nice. They messed up the order but immediately remade it with no issues. I would recommend that they sample their seasonal items as we would like to try but not purchase the whole thing.“

“UPDATE: I AM CHANGING MY RATING FROM 1 TO 4 SOLELY ON THE FACT THAT OWNERSHIP PERSONALLY REACHED OUT AND SPOKE TO ME FACE TO FACE. This is not easy to do and appreciate the gesture. I will give grace to see if things change.

I come to this location because of convenience but I believe today will be my last. First, I have had constant issues with service. One day I was given a bowl without acai in it even though it was an acai bowl. When I brought it back, I literally had to debate with girl at the front. The bowl was green not purple. Clearly it was missing. Second, the staff can be rude.

Today my husband's order from shake shack came before my bowl and he completed his whole meal before my bowl even was ready. You are making bowls and smoothies, not cooking. Why my order is constantly late even though I order it at least 15 minutes early and still have to wait is beyond me.

Next, I find it insulting that they always need to double check my last name to ensure it's the correct order as if I'm lying. Seems weird when I'm the only black person in the location having to give my first and last name. Y'all are weird. Your management is also not good because everything is so chaotic. Today I watched people receive their bowls before me even though they ordered it while I was in the store.

Don't waste your time. I'll also be filing a corporate complaint. I've spent way too much money for the service and treatment.“

“Beautiful place, delicious and healthy food, and nice people works there. Thank you! 👌🥇 Прекрасно място с отлично обслужване, вкусна и полезна храна! Приятна обстановка, интересни питиета. Силно препоръчвам!“

“So refreshing and delicious!“

“In person kiosk and online kiosk in store
Online kiosk lets you put special instructions if necessary.

Staff was very nice - I put on my instructions whilst using the online kiosk to remove any almond products - just in case since I know a lot of granola is made with almond - I have an almond allergy. The kind lady behind the register saw my request and asked me if I'd perfer to switch to a gluten free granola because their regular granola did contain almond.
I was very happy with how kind she was with the switch because of the almond.

Also I might be biased because I LOVE açaí bowls but the bowl I got was absolutely delicious!
I got the nutty açaí bowl

Vegetarian options: Most smoothie bowls are vegetarian

Menu is very clear about what's in each item

Parking: There are many parking lots scattered around the city“

“Great service and fun people!“

“What's up, my fellow viewers? To start my review, I want to say that the healthy food options at this business are pretty decent. The service I received from the store manager was spot on. However, the only thing they lack is a welcoming atmosphere. I was the only person at this location, and I'm not sure if it was due to the construction happening around the site, but it felt a bit empty on a Friday. Other than that, their smoothies are truly healthy and very nutritious.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking was a bit difficult, but there is parking available behind and beside the building. They’re just not labeled as a handicap zone.“

“Consistently quality in service and food. Mind the fruit flies ??

Vegetarian options: Are fruits vegetarian? ??

Dietary restrictions: Let you customize, but you gotta to pay :)

Parking: There is a garage around the corner so I don't even bother looking for street parking.“

“Whenever I'm traveling, I like to visit local smoothie shops as a healthier alternative to fast food.We ordered the tumeric and passion fruit smoothies as well as the avocado toast. Everything was fresh and delicious. Restroom was clean, employees were friendly, shop was tidy.I also like that we were able to sit outside.?? ?? 2 thumbs up!“

“I recently visited South Block at George Washington University and was highly impressed with the quality of their smoothies! The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were delicious. I loved the fact that they offered a wide variety of smoothies, with different combinations of fruits, veggies, and other natural ingredients. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they even helped me use my gift card to pay for my order. Overall, I recommend South Block smoothies for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious treat!“

“Went here with plans to get a wheatgrass shot after a chaotic night. I was greeted at the counter by the manager, Antonio. He was such a delight, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the menu. He walked me through the different items and even convinced me to get the season special, a toast with Nutella, strawberries, and coconut, that with the wheatgrass shot was exactly what the doctor ordered! Will definitely be coming back to South Block!“

“Great staff and good smoothies. You can't really go wrong with a smoothie and at berries and bowls there are a decent amount of combinations to try. There are also acai bowls that are available with plenty of options. There isn't too much seating but it's in a great area to be able to grab a smoothie and take a walk.“

“Fabulous seasonal pumpkin smoothie —not pumpkin “spice” but actual creamy delicious pumpkin😁“

“Delicious! Robeks uses real fruit. Unlike the other smoothing places such as the smoothie king or jamba.Robeks smoothie is sweeten by the fruit. I have tried all the flavor some of my favorite are Passion fruit Cove, Tropi-Kale but my all time favorite is the Empore Açaí smoothie.Once you try them you’ll get hooked. All the girls at the Wisconsin store make great smoothies.“

“Warm and friendly welcome. Delicious açaí! I would like to try more delicious bowls ❤️“

“We’ve eaten at The Falls for both date nights and family outings and were extremely impressed every time. I was excited to hear they also do catering! We called The Falls, spoke to Kelly and she was super helpful, communicative and helped with everything from how much food would be appropriate for our size event and how many staff would be recommended. We had our annual Santa party with 190 people and everyone was super impressed with the food quality, the attentive staff and how friendly and courteous they were. They left my house cleaner than before the party and even boxed up some left overs for us to enjoy. They’re a true blessing and made our party one we’ll remember for years! Thank You- to Kelly and Mark and the entire Falls crew!“

“Wow! This was our first time eating at this beautiful place! And man! It was amazing! The service was great! Very polite and professional staff! The food is delicious! And they do have sitting arras right in front of their small restaurant inside the Tysons Mall. Great food size portions very generous! And very reasonable prices! Or let me put it this way: in a time of inflation and shrinkflation, this place doesn’t not disappoint! Very affordable food prices as of 2024! Thank you guys!“
