The boss is a good communicator and she's there to build a relationship! I got the butter pecan shake - I definitely think it could have used some more flavor. It tastes kind of bland l. Luckily I added extra cinnamon, so I could taste a little bit of that. I don't remember the name of the tea I got but it was tasty and delicious. I wish they had a combo deal. Where if I got both the shake and tea it would save me money! I think $19 is a lot for two drinks!!

Not for me, way too sweet. Even with the overwhelming sweetness, you can still taste the protein…read more It just tastes fake. Personally I prefer a smoothie since they are more filling and have fresh fruits and vegetables. Simply healthy does offer a variety of beverage options. The flavors are strong and sweet. I could see these drinks preferred by those used to drinking artificial or sugar sweetened beverages. The drinks are large but pricy. I added 15 grams of protein to the Dragon drink and it came to $14. I was surprised as a "healthy" beverage establishment that they didn't incorporate more fresh produce, fiber, or higher protein options (20-30 grams). Particularly if they promote them as meal replacements. In addition to beverages, they also sell powder mix for shakes and meal replacement bars to go. These are located at the front right of the counter. The store is small, but comfortable and welcoming. It is bright and has a few areas to sit inside. It is a Herbalife location, but I loved how the employee did not push the products on me. The employee was friendly and not very knowledgeable about the ingredients. The establishment is located in a plaza next to food lion. Parking is available right out front. Overall, it is a nice place just not for me.

Yukiya also serves up Japanese melon-pan (cookie bun), an-pan (buns) and more. You can order online and pick up your bread at Java Jive along with a handful of farmers markets that she attends but it varies week by week. It takes a bit of investigative work to figure out where they'll be and how to pick up your order. Anyhow the pastries I tried were awesome and I look forward to trying more off her menu.

We placed a large Thanksgiving order with Chef Mario, Inc. in Raleigh, and they never delivered it…read more Not late -- never. We tried calling multiple times and only reached an answering service that couldn't provide any real help. No one from the actual business ever called us back. No updates. No explanation. No apology. Nothing. For a holiday order that families rely on, this level of disregard is unacceptable. We were left scrambling at the last minute because this company simply did not show up or communicate. Based on our experience, Chef Mario, Inc. feels completely unreliable, and we strongly urge others to think twice before placing an order. A business that takes holiday payments and then disappears is not one you should trust with something this important. Avoid the headache -- look elsewhere.

The business is situated inside of a small shopping center and there probably always a parking space due to the location When I called the lady answered the phone and she was really nice! She told me that they normally take orders 24 to 48 hours in advance but I called at the perfect time because they were just popping popcorn! I was so happy about that! I ordered 2 bags of their bulk popcorn! The bags individually feed about 40 people! And they are huge! I ended getting 2 because I wasn't for sure if it would be enough and it ended up being plenty I still have an unopened one left! They offer so many flavors. While waiting to pay I was able to try a sample of their caramel siracha popcorn! And it spicy but good! I paid $36 for both bags which was extremely awesome. Overall great store, I would definitely recommend them for huge events! Or if you love popcorn!

Popcorn. It's hard to go wrong with it when it's fresh. It doesn't matter if it's plain or…read moreflavored. It's a nearly guilt-free indulgence even when mixed with sugary flavorings. It's popcorn, after all. What are a few spoonfuls of caramel or chocolate or nuts? Because some of the flavors use air-popped corn, that means there's no guilt. The calories evaporate when it's air-popped. At least that's how I convince myself it's okay. Carolina Popcorn Shoppe helps you feel better about indulging. They use all natural ingredients (except for the vanilla flavoring in the popcorn that uses it) and it's made fresh. Anything more than a couple of days old gets thrown out. Since there are no preservatives, the product won't keep long and the Shop doesn't make a lot of it in advance. If you're willing to wait, though, they'll make you a fresh batch. On average it's about a 15 minute wait while they fire up the popcorn popper and get things going. I haven't been there while they've done that, but the smell of popcorn popping is one of those "yum" aromas that might make the wait a must-do. If you decide to wait while they make your particular flavor popcorn, or put together a tin or a few big bags to take home or give as a gift, the shop has 3 or 4 tables and a refrigerated cooler with soft drinks for purchase. You can buy the popcorn in nearly any size from a couple of ounces to a pound or more. The hours it's open are limited, but you can always go online and order. It's also available at a couple of shops in the Triangle (e.g. Southern Season, NOFO, Gingham and Posh) so you'll never be too far away from a popcorn fix.

They have coffee, tea, bubble tea, pastries, ice cream, sandwiches, etc. They even have a fridge dedicated to individually wrapped gluten free desserts (brownies, cake, cheesecake bars, etc.) The cafe is much bigger than I expected, as there are two additional seating areas in the back, great for studying or hanging out. Students get 10% off their order, anytime, all week long. I got a passion fruit green tea with boba and mango jelly and 75% sugar. It was delicious! I definitely recommend getting 75% sweetness, as my sister got the regular amount and said it was way too sweet. I would definitely go back! I wish I had known about this place before I graduated, it's truly a hidden gem.
