The owner pleasantly…read moregreeted us as soon as we walked in and since there was someone in front of us, it gave us time to look over the menu. All of the smoothies looked refreshing but we decided on the Mighty Green & the Daydream Smoothy. As we waited, I couldn't help but notice the other items they offer such as the Cold Oats and Prime Bites. I also love how they have the bookshelf for readers to 'take a book and leave a book'. What a great idea! It didn't take very long for our smoothies to be ready and they were very refreshing and delicious! The Prime Bites were also quite tasty as well. Definitely check them out if you are looking for juices, smoothies or smoothie bowls in the area! You will not be disappointed!!!

Daughter wanted a bubble tea with popping bubbles rather than tapioca boba (the texture of the…read moretapioca just doesn't hit the spot for us) and this was the closest place that showed up as having non-tea options and popping pearls. We really liked how straightforward and easy to understand the menu was. Tea or no? Blended or over ice? Cream or plain? Then each section had all the flavor choices listed, so it was really easy for her to decide what she wanted. She opted for a strawberry cream, non tea over ice with green apple pearls (kids, right?!?!) and said it was amazing and delicious. She really loved how they seal them individually instead of putting a lid, which is also super helpful for avoiding spills. She also grabbed an order of fries and they were great, nice and crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside. They were hot as sin too, which was cool. I wish they had like a pump or squirt bottle of ketchup though, because the two packets of ketchup she gave us when we asked did not do the trick. I can't wait to try the banh mi and pho here, we were definitely fans of what we did try.

My coworker and I only wanted to snack. We ordered a banh mi and spring rolls. Coworker said the spring rolls were very good and crispy. The banh mi was loaded and authentically done. Flavor was on point. I personally like my bread a bit crispier on the outside but I did get it to-go to eat at the coffee shop a few minutes away from the food court. There were a few Vietnamese aunties eating BIG bowls of pho right when I was ordering. When I'm in the area again, I will definitely be back to try the com tam.

The two people working at the counter were very helpful and friendly, and I really liked that they had a nice variety of options including a nice range of choices. I opted for a London fog with almond milk and sugar free vanilla syrup, and it was warm and lovely. The chairs we planted our butts on to catch up and chat for like an hour were super comfortable, and this just feels like a nice, comfortable, classy space: all open with soft lighting. It was a great place to step away from the crowded, loud, bright lights of the outside world. We will definitely be back.

The worker was pausing in between my order to guide a newer worker on how to create a drink. The manner in how he guided him to making the drink was so calm and gentle.... out here exuding God's love!!

I am a huge fan of cookout since we moved to Virginia. The portions are generous for most items,…read morethe food tastes, good, and it is really inexpensive for what you get. It's usually around eight bucks for a tray with a main entrée and two sides. And either a large drink, or a medium milkshake. I usually go with the burger, which is always delicious and has a nice variety of toppings that is pretty standard to what you can get at most places for no charge. For my sides, I like the honey, mustard, chicken wrap, and the chicken quesadilla. They are both delicious and filling. I have never had a bad milkshake here, every flavor I have tried so far is delicious. I've also gotten the floats and a very large soda on days when I'm thirsty. My kids usually end up with some combination of corndogs or fries or things like that with their combos. The corndogs are always nice and perfectly crispy, which they like. This is a walkout or drive-through place, so there's usually not any ambience to speak of, but I generally prefer getting my food to go and then eating in the comfort of my own home anyway, so I do appreciate that they have always been very fast and I have - knock on wood - never gotten a wrong order from them. They are very careful packing up the food to make sure you get everything in your order. I also like that it is wrapped up nice and tidy so you don't end up with mustard and ketchup all over the chicken wrap. I love this place and always look for a reason to go. Good, cheap food with friendly and professional employees? Any day of the week!

All too often, food trucks don't cater to those of us with a vegan lifestyle. Cool Beanz is the exception. EVERYTHING is vegan. EVERYTHING! I chose the BBQ Jackfruit sandwich with slaw. And oh, was it an amalgamation of flavor explosion! For some, the quality of vegan food is based on how close it tastes to REAL MEAT. I don't have to have it TASTE like meat in order for it to be good. This chopped BBQ sandwich was simply good. Not good because it tasted like a pork BBQ sandwich; it was flavorful and fresh and tasty BECAUSE it was made with love--and not made to just taste like meat. And that is why I am a fan! COOL BEANZ "gets" it. They make good food. Period. I feel a road trip to Petersburg will be in my future. And I am confident MORE good food awaits me
