Pure green was my franchise of choice until today. I’ve been patronizing this business in Carytown since they owned. One item I don’t like is when you place orders online you cannot get your points and by coming in to place the order you lose the value of time. So I called in today to place my order. The woman answers the phone hello! I’m like hello is this pure green? She says yes. I request to place a phone order for pickup and she instructed me I couldn’t do that which I have done many times before. She was my first encounter with this business for the day so I will not go here for rude service. Train employees on how to answer the phone and provide customer service. She just cost you a regular employee.

This place buses in juice made in New York and sells it to you for $10 while you sit inside what looks like an Apple Store. It is the epitome of shrinkflation and bogus “wellness”. There’s a real juice bar 0.1 miles away at Elwood Thompson’s.

I had the Strawberry Colada smoothie which was tremendously tasty & filling! Clean store with great service & atmosphere.

A real disappointment. I love acai bowls but this place was not it.

The cost is absurd for one VERY small bowl. Even at 25% off during their happy hour, it was about $11 per smoothie or bowl with no extras and the inclusions are minimal. I watched the girl making my bowl leave a ton of stuff in the blender and just wash the rest down the sink, despite my bowl being minimally filled. To add honey on top it would have been $2 - insane. They're cheaper for twice the size many other places.

The staff was polite, but they did ring me up wrong and didn't catch it until I mentioned it. They had to refund and then rerang me up. We ate outside and their two sidewalk tables are extremely wobbly, I think they are broken. Visually my acai bowl was pretty, but what little there was had minimal taste. My friend stated her smoothie also seemed bland, especially for the expense. Would not recommend or go back, sorry.

Clean food and great atmosphere!!!

Tried this establishment for the first time on 6/8/24 in the morning. Hubby wanted to treat me to a breakfast so we stopped here since we were in the area. Upon entering the store, two individuals working. Not a single greeting was given when we walked inside. We were the only customers in the store during the entire transaction. I really liked the decor and cleanliness of the establishment. In the process of placing my order, still no greeting, just a "What can I start for you?" I ordered the Pure Pitaya Bowl. As we exited the store we did get a, "Have a nice day." Oh they do speak. Too bad it was after the fact when first impressions are most important. Although the Pitaya Bowl was made quickly and looked and tasted delicious I will not return here. I will definitely go somewhere else.

Note: This bowl will need to be eaten quickly since the pitaya base becomes watery after 5 or so minutes.

Best Açaí bowls in RVA! It’s been my go-to açaí spot for a minute, I’m just barely reviewing it! Customer service is always 10/10, vibes 10/10, cleanliness 10/10 & everything tastes great! I always get the mixed berry açaí, add bananas & mix honey in the base! Love that they happily accommodate all my little extras!

Parking: Parking is street parking right in front of the shops along that road. It’s limited, but I’ve never had an issue getting a parking spot!

Kid-friendliness: Kid-Friendly environment.

Olivia and Milasia were top-notch. I was greeted once I entered, something you don't very often. I'll keep coming back for sure. Thank you ladies for the great experience.
