Crema's Take
“This vibrant juice and smoothie bar excels at crafting innovative, sugar-free blends like their beloved Flamingo smoothie and fresh mermaid lemonade, with acai bowls that keep regulars coming back for more. The modern, relaxed atmosphere and genuinely warm staff make it a perfect spot to linger with friends or family while watching your juice get freshly pressed right before your eyes. Though consistency can occasionally slip, the shop shines brightest when the owner is present, bringing the care and attention that makes this neighborhood gem feel like a genuine community gathering spot.”

Absolutely delicious! The smoothies taste so clean and nothing like sugar added other places. The fresh mermaid lemonade is to die for!
I found my "Flamingo" smoothie an utter delight. The shop keeper was friendly and everything here is nice and clean. I'll definitely be back sometime. Thanks again for your wonderful service!
I use to love this place and my family I would come in at least 2x week to get the dragon bowls. But this is now the third time they have messed up our order. When the owner is there, the dragon bowls and drinks turn out great, but if he’s not, I would definitely not go back. Tonight I ordered 3 dragon bowls and after I paid almost $42, i was told they have no granola for the bowls. The guy there offered almonds and coconut flakes instead, which i agreed to, but was not thrilled about. I would’ve preferred being offered a partial refund instead but if that wasn’t bad enough, we found a bunch of pieces of kale in our dragon bowls, which is not even one of the ingredients in the bowls! In addition, the dragon bowls were watery, flavorless, and were lacking honey on top as well. I believe the guy mixed kale in with the pink smoothy part of the bowl too because it had a strong kale taste and it did not taste good at all. I definitely agree with another reviewer that said they dont believe that the workers are being trained properly. Something so easy to make as an uncooked food item, and it’s never right unless the owner makes it. Sad. We can never trust going to this place if the owner is not there himself, sucks as we will most likely not be coming back . Total waste of money. Three dragon bowls straight into the trash!
Pretty disappointed with this place. I placed an order online 20 minutes before the pick up time since I had to be somewhere right after I picked up but when I got there and the two workers were just sitting around and when I asked about my order they said that by mistake they didn't even see that I had placed the order. It was pretty frustrating since they didn't have any customers at the time and were clearly not busy. So then I had to sit and wait for them to make it and it would have been fine except for the hygiene!!! Like the guy who made it was on his phone, rubbed his nose, touching all these things but then was cutting up the fruit for my order with NO GLOVES on or anything and then pushing it into the bowl with his fingers. That was disgusting and gloves should at least be worn when working with food! On top of that I couldn't get a refund because I paid online. I got my order but didn't even end up eating it.Such a waste of money. Pretty upsetting experiencing because my visit before this was fine, I think the owner, he's really nice but he... clearly didn't train the rest of his employees very well. The matcha magic smoothie was also disappointing, flavorless and watery. Not worth the money. The only thing worth getting here was the OG bowl but NEVER again now that I know they don't practice hygiene when making their food.
Owner and staff are so friendly and helpful picking an option out of the menu! The atmosphere is nice and relaxed with a modern look inside the shop. The juice is freshly pressed right in front of you and any smoothie or bowl can have protein added to it if you need something quick and filling! This has turned into a daily stop for me as the smoothies and bowls are so delicious, especially after or before a workout.
