Come here for the delicious donuts and empanadas. Their smoothies are good, but their donuts and empanadas are truly delectable. They also happen to be gluten free which is wonderful. Don't let the small selection of donuts fool you, they are a dream.

Got the empanadas, a fruit bowl, and so many doughnuts. Everything was amazing.The whole shop smells like fried goodness, I’d stand in here huffing the scent all day if I could.So many options, everything is vegan and gluten-free, everything is labeled and the owners are very friendly and personable and communicative. Highly recommended. I plan on returning

Yum! Donuts, cakes and waffles are so tasty. I almost despaired of never having treats again now that I am gluten-free and dairy-free but Viva Sol comes through!

Curbside pickup was fantastic - they had the order out earlier than expected. Pumpkin spice donut was delicious and super moist. The açaí bowl was a bit too sweet for my liking, but that’s just personal preference. Empanadas were to die for! A MUST try.

So i normally get my juice from South Block or Greenheart juice went ever I am in Vienna but i decide to try this place because I love the name. Walk in was greeted by a old lady super sweet but I don't think she can't communicate that well which is ok as long she can make me some good juice. I was trying to get Cold press juice but she didn't understand me so i guess she call the boss Kelly and she explain to me that they have a delay on produce delivery. That fine no big deal, I am easy to please. I end up order a Nirvana smoothies. I was in a good positive energy until i saw her making my smoothies, she literally just grab the spinach and the frozen fruit with her bare hand with out glove. I was so turn off because she could at least wash her hand before making my smoothies but the whole time her making it she was using 1 hand and the other hand on the cell phone with Kelly. It would has been done so much faster if she got off the phone, I feel bad because she older but hygiene is important during covid and she was touching a bunch of wiping her jean before making my smoohties. I hate writing negative review because she so nice, but it not a place I will come again. It kinda dark and doesn't have the greatest smell inside. Maybe they was understaff, I am not sure what it was. I didn't drink my smoothies because i was so turn off just throw it away.

I feel badly writing this review but it's factual and for the benefit of the owner of this local establishment. Operations and quality control need to be drastically improved. First for the positive. The employees are friendly, helpful and service oriented. However, the açaí bowl was subpar & not made with quality ingredients. I ordered a simple bowl. There were no other patrons early this AM (Friday). It took over 20 mins to complete the purchase (due to malfunctioning payment equipment) & for some reason the person making the bowl took SO LONG. I'm not exaggerating, 20 minutes. My son was waiting in the car and when I returned, he commented how awful I smelled, like fried food. Yes, the restaurant has odors that really require better ventilation. I tried to be cheery and upbeat. However the worst was yet to come. The basic bowl missed the mark because of what amounted to a few frozen scoops of açaí, a few bits of strawberries & frozen blueberries (or previously frozen with a weird texture). The peanut butter, banana and coconut were fine. Overall, it was terrible. Just terrible and extremely disappointing. I would love the restaurant to make improvements as I was really happy to learn they do not use tree nuts (as many smoothie and bowl stores have). Kind people. Bad food.

Stopped by their stand at PA VegFest today and had the most amazing empanadas of my life. The staff was so kind and informative as to where they can be found on the daily. I will be supporting this establishment again!!!

My husband and I took a long bike ride and needed a rest, so we stopped in Viva Sol just to get an iced latte. We struck up a conversation with one of the owners, who was working at the register. She was super friendly and enthusiastic. We couldn't stop looking at the vegan baked goods on the counter, so we bought 2 donuts. The apple pie donut was AMAZING and so was the mocha-cream filled donut. We could not believe these delicious donuts were vegan! I highly recommend stopping in to check out all their menu items, which also include acai bowls and empanadas.

Great customer service and the smoothies are great. Will go back again.
Always a lovely experience! Many choices for the health conscience or those with food intolerances or special diets! They will willingly tell you ingredients so you can cross reference as needed to fit your dietary needs. If I had a complaint, it would be the coat HOWEVER it's probably more the fact that cheaper food choices/quality is cheaper rather than their prices being that far off. We have lost the reference point for what real food costs!

Really friendly owner, who has Celiac. Food is so good and tasty. Donuts are seriously unreal! :-)

I've been driving past this place for a year and never knew it was there because the signage is blocked by a tree. Always happy to support a local business, so it was nice to find this little spot. The staff was friendly and helpful. Parking in the back is plentiful. There is some seating on the inside but it's limited. The reason for the 3 stars is that the smoothies we ordered (the Nirvana and the chocolate buzz) were a bit bitter and not well balanced. Additionally, for the price ($17 for 2 smoothies) I was disappointed to see that they use frozen fruit not fresh. I'm willing to give it another shot to try a different smoothie and maybe some food just because I like to support local businesses.

First time trying this place and the couple who work there were so welcoming! I have never tried açaí and he even let me have a taste test and it was AMAZING. We ordered the açaí bowl and waffle and it was delicious. The waffle was fluffy and airy and all of the fruit was fresh. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone!!

great place to get vegan and gluten-free food and drinks!! the owner and staff were incredibly sweet and very helpful. she even let us sample the DELICIOUS vegan empanadas!! i will admit the price if the drink were a little high but considering it is vegan, it sorta makes sense. if you get the chance, please visit this adorable shop!!!
