I love how customizable the build your own bowls are, and how fresh the fruit is. No seating inside, but there's benches, tables, and planter edges to sit on in the general area. Does take a bit long for orders, likely because a lot of the toppings/ingredients are blended / cut more freshly! There's paid parking garages all around. Fairly allergy friendly in that they list what is vegan, nut free, gluten free, etc., but there are a lot of nut ingredients used in general so just an alert for potential cross contamination for those severely allergic.

The service was unremarkable - it wasn't super busy, so I got my order really quickly. I love their selection of juices and shots, but my absolute favorite treat is the freeze. They have an assortment of delicious flavors and toppings, from fresh fruit to a variety of drizzles. I love how their freezes are refreshing and light. This is the perfect store to visit for a sweet summer treat!

I was originally planning to head over to Palmetto, but since this place stays open later, we ended up here instead, and it turned out to be the perfect alternative. The bowls are seriously to die for. My friends and I arrived just before a big line started to form, and the service was incredibly quick and efficient. What made it even more impressive was that there were only two employees working the counter, managing both taking the orders and making everything from scratch without missing a beat. Great flavor, excellent hours, and hardworking staff. This is definitely going into my regular rotation!

I was randomly looking on their website and noticed several drinks that's not on the menu inside the stores. Could it be that they are offering Erewhon style smoothies? Oh my God yes! I ordered the Vanilla Blue Sky which is the Jamba's take on Erewhon's coconut cloud smoothie. Staff is very nice at the Coleman and Taylor location and you can't tell from my picture, but the smoothie is actually blue even though it looks purple in the picture. My Samsung Galaxy made the picture look purple lol. But anyways, I ordered the small and it's pricey at $10 but oh my goodness, it's a really good smoothie! If this is how the Erewhon smoothies tastes like, then I'm getting a bargain because their smoothies are almost $20! The smoothie is creamy, tart, takes me on a tropical journey and is satisfying with every sip. I cannot wait to try the other exclusive smoothies which are only available on their website and maybe the app. One sip and I am hooked.

This was my first time visiting Vitality Bowls Superfood Café on Lincoln Avenue in Willow Glen, San…read moreJose, and I had a great experience. I tried the Go Green smoothie, and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and very refreshing. I've passed by this location many times and always wanted to try it, so I'm glad I finally stopped in. The smoothie tasted completely different from the ordinary smoothies you find at other places. You can really taste the fresh, healthy ingredients. The shop is clean, welcoming, and conveniently located in the corner. It's also easy to see why so many fitness-conscious and health-minded people come here. Everything feels focused on fresh ingredients and better nutrition. I would definitely recommend Vitality Bowls to anyone looking for a healthy and delicious smoothie. I'll be coming back to try more items from the menu!

I went with the Coffee Crunch, and honestly, it's no joke, it is delicious and absolutely packed. However, at an $11 price point, that coupon was the only thing keeping it in the "reasonable" category for me, especially since the portion is just a standard size rather than something more substantial. The layout of the place is a bit of a trip; unlike Jamba where everything is out in the open, the staff here is tucked away in a back kitchen area. I spent about five minutes waiting for my order to emerge, wondering if I'd been forgotten! But if you're looking for a quiet escape with god-tier air conditioning, this is the spot. I stopped by on a sweltering afternoon and it was nearly empty, cool as a whistle, and filled with trendy, comfortable seating rather than your typical stiff restaurant chairs. While I'm personally not a "bowl" person, the rest of the menu looks great. It's definitely got more of a local health-spot soul compared to the corporate feel of the Jamba down the street. I'll definitely be passing this place along to my pre-teen daughter, it feels exactly like the kind of trendy hangout she's going to live at as she gets older. Go for the crunch, but definitely stay for the AC.

I've never been to a Happy Lemon before. I as warmly welcomed and greeted when I entered the store. There is plenty on seating inside. Besides drinks they offer bubble waffles.

For the first time ever, ever, ever in my history of ordering boba drinks, and this particular drink, the D5 (Boba Milk Tea w/Puff Cream), they put the honey boba on the top! So was a good chunk of the puff cream. Typically the puff cream will have some nice yummy lumps of puff cream at the bottom. Then it's smeared along the inside of the cup. This is important because of how one enjoys his drink. You are deliberate with the straw, & strategically slurping up chunks of creamy puff cream alongside the milk tea. Because of the honey boba & puff cream being at the top/mostly at the top, the drink became this cloudy mumbled mess. Definitely a major let down, especially since I pay for extra puff cream too.

Ordered delivery through a third party app: avocado toast, vanilla latte, Bacon Egg and Cheese…read moreCroissant. While I can't speak to most of the customer service experience, the order was packaged nicely and securely. The Avocado Toast was the star of the show for me. Probably one of the best avocado toasts I've ever had flavor-wise. While I do also appreciate a lightly salted plain avocado flavor, the cilantro + lime + chili was the kinda vibe I knew I needed (but had never experienced) in an avocado toast. The bread was thick + toasted + soft. Tasted better than I expected after reading the menu description. Pretty filling for $8.50, current economy considered ); Vanilla latte & Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant were also solid. I got an extra shot in the latte and found it to be adequately strong. The croissant sandwich was pretty good with what appeared to be real egg. My satisfaction for the value of the experience may also be skewed by the fact that I got a 40% off for $10+ deal for this meal. It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around how expensive everything has gotten. So, my 5 stars is only representative for the taste and presentation here, less so the value, ambiance, or customer service. I'd come back.

I ain't gonna lie; I'm all about customer service, good food, and value! When ordering, I was told they were out--of what I understood to be the bread--so I asked, "What other bread options do you have?" The cashier rambled off some options, including "white bread." Internal dialogue: "White bread? I didn't know that was still a thing." Turns out, next to the Texas toast, it was the lowest-carb option, so I opted for it. She rang me up at $14.50... $14.50!!! I said, "I don't understand--why is it more than double the price?" To my complete chagrin, she replied, "I have to charge you for a BLT. Would you like lettuce and tomato on your sandwich?" Mind you, they also offer a cheese melt for $6 that comes with the infamous "white bread" and melted cheese. All they would have to do is add the egg and bacon! At least, that's what makes sense to me. I said, "I'm sorry... I do not want a BLT. I just want what I ordered, and I'm okay with white bread as a substitute for the croissant." She insisted, "We can't do that." WHAT??!! I said, "Charge me for the melt, and I'll pay extra for the egg and bacon. How's that?" She said, "Sorry, we can't do that." Internal dialogue: "But they can charge me for a BLT and make substitutions..." It made absolutely no sense! She ultimately conceded--charged me for what I requested--and gave me this bland-looking thing that was barely warmed up, much less toasted! I went out of my way to support "my community" and introduce a colleague to this place. I was so embarrassed--for them and for us! Never again! To boot: I added an almond milk latte, which took way too long to come out. When I went to check on it, the barista looked at me confused. Just then, another customer ran up and said, "Oops! I grabbed your drink by accident--but I didn't drink from it yet." The top hadn't been opened, from what I could see. I surrendered, moped back to my mediocre white-bread sammy, and tried to enjoy the moment. I actually enjoyed the latte... I was about two-thirds of the way through it when I noticed the receipt said OAT MILK--instead of almond... Ayyy, mi gente! Jamás!

But, like a magnet, I was drawn to the drinks with orange colored mango fruit. They looked like slushies-of sorts. In the back of the stand ladies were slicing up loads of mangoes-fresh! These drinks remind me of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. I ordered the mango, coconut and sago drink...and it was delicious The price is on par with matcha lattes that I get. The more flavors in the drink, the prices go up ($7+ tax and watch the payment screen since each charge defaults to 20% tip!!). The order service is quick. Tip2: Don't ask a lot of questions or the staff can get tetchy about it. As with any food court this size, it is noisy and crowded - no ambiance at all. Take the drink to go and find somewhere quiet to enjoy!

There are other varieties on the menu : mango ice cream , mango pudding , mango crisp and pudding , etc . We placed the order then found a table to sit down . It was fairly fast ( less than 5 minutes ) then our drinks were ready . The flavors are very consistent every time we visited .
