“There's a lot of customization available for a decent price. You get to pick almost unlimited fillings for your sushi burrito - and it can cause your item to bulge a little! Was able to get my fish fix with this burrito in its full-of-flavor, practically-falling-apart goodness. Nothing too extraordinary here, but if you're in the mood for some fresh fish in roll form for a not-too-shabby price, this might hit the spot.I had the takoyaki on a later visit. Pretty satisfactory, albeit it was 6 for $6.95 and each piece only had a small slice of octopus tentacle. But it satisfied my takoyaki craving well enough.Staff are friendly enough and will make your burrito/bowl practically lickety-split.“
“Colton and Clarissa were super helpful, they made sure that I was taken care of and happy even though I had misunderstood their cup sizing with an online order. You have a great team working at this location! I appreciate you both for all your efforts!“
“Came here for Saturday brunch and it was perfect! The atmosphere was nice and cozy and everyone was super nice. I had Medina and Latte ❤️Vegetarian options: Got vegan options!Parking: They have street parking in front and also back parking.“
“Tropical Berry is an absolute gem! Not only do they serve unparalleled açaí bowls with the freshest organic açaí imported directly from Brazil, and their coxinha is irresistibly delicious! What truly sets this place apart, however, is their outstanding customer service. Every visit feels personal and warm, like I'm being welcomed into a friend's home. A must-visit for anyone craving an authentic and delectable Brazilian treat!“
“Delicious açaí bowl and the best chai I’ve had since I was on a trip to India. Great customer service and safety standards during these times. Will definitely be back and excited to try more off the menu. (And sharing the news of this place with friends already because I hope they stay in our community for a very long time! Love having delicious and healthy options like this!)“
“This was my first visit to Emerald City Smoothie. I stopped by in the evening and had the large PB&J. The fruit to peanut butter ratio was perfect. It was suggested and made by the very helpful staffer Camilla. This location is inside the LA Fitness (or the old Larry's Market for all you old time locals). Great space, I'm glad it's open to anyone regardless of club membership. You should give them a sip!“
“My boyfriend and I just moved here and wanted to find our new açaí bowl / smoothie spot and emerald smoothie was the place to try. Walking in the lady working was super nice and patient with us looking at their large menu. We ordered a açaí bowl and smoothie and they were both very delicious!! Definitely recommend and will be coming back“
“I went here on a whim...Pleasantly surprised. All the smoothies are amazing and healthy it seems. What's a hidden gem for me is the coffee smoothies and the coffee...It's all creamy and excellent. The coconut roll/bun thing is off the hook. The staff is super friendly and eager to assist with a smile. It's so refreshing compared to dealing with online crap, no service, and too much automation at other places. These are real people making your really good drinks and food items and they seem to do it with care and kindness. You won't get that from a machine :). Thanks Kitanda!“
“Really enjoyed a nice coffee and açaí bowl with my mom here today. It was quiet and peaceful. AND GF options! definitely worth the few steps up the road from Starbucks. If you have trouble finding it, It’s right across from the PCC entrance.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options“
“I love Nekter! I've been a few times now and always have a wonderful experience. The staff is always cheerful and helpful and seem knowledgeable about what they are serving. The juices are really high quality and all have wonderful ingredients and no additives. My favorite thing I've gotten is definitely the PB&J bowl- the chia raspberry pudding was just a cherry on top of some of the best acai! This is definitely my new go to spot for breakfast bowls. The area is modern and inviting for anyone who wants to enjoy their treats in person, but I generally take mine to go. Wonderful spot if you need something healthy and quick!“
“Great smoothies. Nice variety between veggie smoothies and fruit smoothies. They also sell other products such as protein powder, bars etc. The staff there is always very nice. We can also by a large one and have it split into two cups for kids.“
“I ordered the chia pudding berry parfait with peanut butter granola.-The server was friendly and helpful with suggestions.I received my food pretty quickly!I loved the combination of granola and chia pudding. However the granola tasted like puffed rice and not toasted oats. All in all, it was tasty!“
“This place is my go-to for fresh fruit smoothies. It's a grab-and-go type of shop, easily accessible with ample, free parking outside and a bus stop steps away. I've probably never been inside more than five consecutive minutes, nor seen a line more than two people long.The operator, Zach, is friendly, fast, and pressure-free-patient as you choose a regular or large size from the display of 40 recipes. He's also a certified nutritionist (a plaque on the wall says so).You might think from the intense flavors that the smoothies here are loaded with added sugars, but--surprise--that sweetness is completely natural! (I've tried replicating the quality myself, and can vouch for the wonders of banana and citrus.)As a quick source for a healthy indulgence whether I'm too busy for a full meal, feeling under the weather, or wrapping up a workout, Emerald City Smoothie holds a special spot on Aurora Ave and in my heart.“
“I was getting my tires installed at Discount Tire and just wandered around here, not my usual Ballard hood so don't know spots up here.Was properly surprised! These Brazilian dough-y things were awesome! Perfectly baked, reasonably priced and a big variety of fillings if that's your thing.I ate there, it was very clean inside and since I was there in the morning it seemed like it was mostly a drive through place with folks getting coffees and drinks.I bought more to bring home to the fam and will be back when I'm in the area!“
“From the moment I walked in, the vibrant atmosphere transported me to the streets of Rio. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and delicious pastries filled the air. Each bite was a burst of flavor, reminiscent of authentic Brazilian cuisine. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the place, making it a truly memorable visit. Can't wait to go back for more! The mango smoothie was too sweet. Must’ve been the condensed milk. And, staff forgot to bag my carrot cake!Parking: 10 minute premium parking spot perfect for grab & go!“
