Avocado smoothie and passion fruit drink!
Michelle D.

I kept finding these weird brown chunks in my avocado smoothie, I'm guessing it was from the pit? My sister ordered a milk tea, but she complained of it still having powder that hasn't dissolved. We brought it back, and they gave us a refund but it was still the same quality. Maybe I'll come back to try their sandwiches later on. -UPDATED REVIEW- The owner had contacted me and thankfully they were nice and apologized for the incident. I came back today and ordered the avocado smoothie again, and it's great! One of the best customer services I've ever seen! Would recommend to my friends and family.

This is my favorite spot for a bowl of noodle soup to warm the soul great stuff.............love it

Number 1
Miyah R.

I just wanted Bo Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew) along with a baguette because my coworker kept raving about it! Out of luck since they were pretty much renovating/rearranging the shop. I was able to hold a conversation with the owner/manager and basically was telling me that by Monday it would be a restaurant. A small one, but they wanted to have more options to customers than just Banh-Mi and Bubble Tea. Since I already stopped by and I live all the way out in Delaware, I just ordered their Number 1 Sandwich. All I can say is, I've had better. However, I'll give this place another try at another time.

My morning breakfast. Vietnamese Special cold cut hoagie.
Quincy V.

This store has a new owner(s). I used to order fried egg hoagie from the previous owner until one day I got very bad food poison from them. I stopped coming to the store. Since the new owner took over, this store has become my favorite. Everything looks different, seems spacier, clean and foods with drinks are very good. I have tried the bbq pork, the fried egg and the vegan hoagies. They are the best so far. Price is very reasonable. I love the avocado smoothie and their milk tea with boba. I don't have to go to Chinatown to get my fix anymore.

I mean... this was such a disappointment.

It's a great space and the staff here is incredible - friendly, helpful, and explained everything super clearly. The great: + Cute smoothie and juice bar for you to enjoy after your sauna session. + Convenient Old City location. + Sweet touches like writing names on a sign to welcome you, essential oil wipes, ample towels, etc. + The sauna itself is as good as it gets for this kind of experience. Super clean facility and they take a lot of pride in the space. The less great: + I would find it hard to justify the cost of membership with so many clubs around town offering saunas as part of their full gym experience. A 45 minute sessions for two was ~$119. + There was no working remote for us the day I was there to update the infrared lights. Not a huge deal but something that is a key part of the sauna experience not working might turn future customers off. + The plug in for your phone also was really spotty and the speakers kept going in and out. We ended up ditching it and going for silence instead. + Both the sauna space and space outside of the sauna is too small for two people. Overall if you're a sauna enthusiast with lots of discretionary income, OR you're just looking for a new way to escape the winter blues - this is a great option here in Philly.

Wow! So surprised I haven't reviewed Wellness Refinery on Yelp yet! I've been coming here for…read moresaunas for about a year now and I love it! I've convinced my husband, friends, and even some of my husbands friends to come. Every time I leave a sauna session I feel absolutely amazing, and it certainly helps to have a smoothie waiting for you when you're done! I usually do the 30 minute session and I bring the remote in to cycle through all of the infrared light colors. The smoothie options are soo good and I love that they offer seasonal blends too- always something new to try.

I got the ageless and it was very delicious. i've been looking for a juice place that's open before…read more7 am. they are currently not open for walk in order but you can pre-order online. when I went I didn't know that and gave them a call and they were so kind and still took my order. they will brought it outside which was incredibly nice and I was able to get some delicious morning juice. I will definitely be grabbing more juice here in the future.

I decided I needed a juice cleanse after spending Labor Day weekend working at the Made in America…read moreFestival - consuming a steady diet of beer, ice cream and food truck cheese curds. Sadly, this is not dissimilar to my weekly beer and wings splurges and constant eating out. A cleanse was needed, badly. I has never cleansed before successfully (usually a day or two then I quit) - but I also know there is some psychology to taking something you pay good money for seriously. Gilt was having a promotional sale - so I opted for the 5 day juice cleanse from Pangaea after comparing some of the cleanse options they had available. I read the positive reviews for Pangaea and decided it would be a good things to try to see how it affected my body and just as an overall experiment. I emailed the owner, Erica, who got back to me right away and was very helpful. She let me know that I would be picking up my juices over 2 trips because they only last for a few days since they have no preservatives. So here is my experience on the cleanse, hopefully it may may answer any of the questions you have if you are on the fence about trying it. 1. Taste and Hunger - These juices are DELICIOUS. Especially served cold. Everything you are consuming is raw, vegan and only has a few ingredients and it's super fresh. You become so attuned to the subtle sweetness of the natural fruit that if you try to eat processed candy, you can tell the difference. Your taste buds get reorganized... Like when you go camping and you wait for your food after taking time to cook and everything is fresh and made right there and when you finally eat, it's the BEST. It's like that. My favorites were the Miracle Tonic (I love ginger) and Cashew Love - it kept me the most full and it was like drinking your dessert for dinner. 2. Hungry - was I ever hungry? No. Seriously. I typically drink half a juice, stick it in the fridge, and then finish the other half a bit later. Sometimes I ate raw veggies and I "cheated" once a day and ate a kind bar or a banana when I needed a bit more sustenance. One of the cool things I noticed was that you learn to pace yourself with the juices. You never feel hungry and you never feel stuffed - you always feel "just right". Since you only have 5 to space out throughout the day - you have to listen to your body to see if it's really hungry. I feel like this is a good practice to take with me, even when I'm not juicing. And since your diet is already limited to these few things, it was nice to have a break from wondering what to eat. 3. Cravings - they were gone. I kid you not. I am only human and there where moments at the end of the day when I thought "Man, I really want a beer" or "Damn, Mr. Frostee is coming!" or "Why was I cursed with free food day today???" but those were all triggered emotional empty calorie cravings - not actual need of food cravings since I wasn't actually hungry. Cravings out of habit - which I found interesting. But when there was no stimulus or triggering food - I had no cravings aside from wanting juice. By the end - I didn't crave sweets anymore and normally I have a huge sweet tooth. Also a weird side note - I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I stopped eating meat almost entirely after the cleanse and I don't have any cravings for it anymore which I found interesting. 4. Energy - That is one of the first thing people ask - I had a little bit of coffee in the morning (this is a non-negotiable) - but throughout the day the juices gave me TONS of energy. Steady, day long energy. Maybe it's the natural sugar, maybe it's the special magic in the bottle, but I had more energy, consistently, than I normally have with the workday coffee and post lunch crash. I didn't have any crashes, at all. Also I have a pretty vigorous yoga practice (7am approx. 5x a week) and I had enough energy to do that plus my jobs. 5. Weight - Another big question I get asked. YES, you should lose weight. I lost about 5 pounds doing my normal workouts plus the juice. Likely because I wasn't ingesting any alcohol or fried, fatty or bad food that wasn't getting cleared out of my system immediately. That said, this may be TMI, but your "bathroom" breaks will be regular and satisfactory. I will leave it at that. :) Final Notes: - Everyone at my work has a head cold right except me - coincidence? - Erica is super nice, she gets back to you immediately and reminds you to pick up your juice and when it's dropped off. I live in South Philly and the pick up location happens to be my gym. I love supporting her because she is local and I think the raw pressed juice movement should be accessible to everyone. She also gives you an awesome reusable bag which my kitten promptly turned into a fort (see photo). - Plus, I am addicted to her juice. After the cleanse I ordered an extra 6 bottles and will probably order more again shortly. - I think everyone should try a cleanse at least once - for all of the reasons listed above.

First time visiting Bambu here in Philly! I've been to a few locations in the SF Bay area already,…read moreso I am already well familiar with the franchise generally. Shop is on the smaller side, but definitely clean and appealing. Love having Vietnamese music videos on the screen that are chiller and a nice change of pace from other places that are showing sensory overloading K-Pop or anime. Definitely less distracting when eating in. Our group ordered a ton of different things, but I got the #13 Ube Halo Halo. I've had the real stuff in the Philippines, and this was pretty good! We asked for an extra cup to share too, and were able to get that, along with our desserts within minutes of ordering. Not too busy on a Sunday evening, so this place was also a great place to chat. Only 3-4 tables here, so seating can only accommodate smaller groups, especially if there are other groups already.

It's kind of funny that my first review in my new city is for a spot I already know from back home,…read morebut that familiarity is exactly what made me so happy to find it was in my area. It felt like a reliable, consistent, and delicious reminder of home. I ordered the #4 Chè Sương Sa Hạt Lựu, which comes with red tapioca (my favorite!), mung bean, jello, grass jelly, pandan jelly, and coconut milk. The mix of flavors and textures was spot on with chewy, crunchy, smooth, and refreshing elements all in one cup. At first I thought there was a lot of ice but once everything was stirred in, the balance was just right and it kept the dessert cool without diluting the taste. Service was quick and efficient. My order was ready in no time and the staff handled a steady stream of customers with ease. The space itself is small with a few tables and chairs, and it definitely filled up over the hour I was there on a random Monday afternoon. The atmosphere had a casual vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy my chè without feeling rushed. Overall this was a wonderful first stop to review in my new home and I am already looking forward to coming back!

The staff were very apologetic about not having their normal menu. I got a normal latte and a croissant. Coffee was strong and croissant buttery. And it came out quick, just what I needed. Overall, pretty average and good coffee house experience, I'd probably pop back in when they have their full menu available.
