Linda B.Linda Bella: Large healthy shakes. So worth so price. It's 2:03pm and there a long line, but cashiers are fast though. Fresh fruits everywhere. Looks like heaven.

JT A.JT Andrade: The açaí bowls are great healthy and filling snacks. My favorite is the almond butter bliss. The bowls take a bit longer to prepare but are well worth the wait. Otherwise the line moves quickly.

Molly K.Molly Kadish: Peanut butter split smoothie is unreal but has tons of sugar. Switch out the raw agave for blueberries for the same sweetness with less sugar/cals!
