This is one of few coffee places I can drink their cold brew with just a little bit of milk and honey-its so so good.

Her warm smile and effortless professionalism set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The food itself was outstanding, but what truly elevated the evening was Zavia's remarkable service. She has that rare ability to make you feel both completely taken care of and totally at ease. Every recommendation she made was spot‑on, and she delivered each dish with genuine enthusiasm, as if she were personally excited for me to try it.

I'm a meat eater, so when I tell you I was genuinely impressed by this completely vegan restaurant,…read moreyou know it's worth talking about! The Sesame Crunch Salad was abundant and had that perfect combination of fresh, crunchy, and satisfying. Very tangy dressing. The Mediterranean Bowl was one of my favorites. It was fresh, filling, and had all those classic Mediterranean flavors coming together in one bowl. Yup, even vegan tzatziki and feta. The Meatball Parm Sub had this hearty, saucy, cheesy combination you want from a meatball parm, and really mimicked the texture and flavor of a real meatball well. The Cheezsteak was another one that really surprised me. It had that classic cheesesteak feel without the meat, although this wasn't a personal favorite of mine. And if you're a pesto lover, the Chick'n Parm Pesto is one you have to try. It was crispy, cheesy, saucy, and packed with pesto flavor. My favorite of the sandwiches! And great ciabatta bread. The Acai Bowl was the perfect refreshing way to finish everything. Very fresh fruit. The place is clean, well maintained, and has regular tables and bar seating. The staff member was helpful in helping us pick some popular options which was nice coming from another fellow omnivore. So if you're vegan, vegetarian, or just someone who loves good food, I'd say this is worth checking out!

Shore Shakes is really small, literally just a counter with 3 or 4 stools. But of all the times I passed by there, I've never seen a line at the shake counter. Which leads me to say this place is a hidden gem and a half! The two dudes that were there at the time seemed super cool and very friendly. I'm not really that much of a social person, but I talked with the guy who made my smoothie for a few minutes after my smoothie was done. Definitely a nice, enegetic atmosphere, good music, and great staff. As for my smoothie. It was a s fresh as can be. They make it right infront of you, so you can see all that goes into it. No presevatives/ pre-made mixes or anything like that. I'd also like to add that most smootie places that I go to in the city charge you about $6 for a 16 ounce smoothie, so I was very satisfied that to see Shore Shakes giving 24 ouncers for the same price. And best of all, the few drinks they offer that have protien powder in them, they give you healthy doces. Something like 23 to 35 grams depending on what smoothie you get. And there's a great selection to chose from.

Not your top notch smoothie bar. I was skeptical when I walked in as this place was mainly a gym…read more Things got worse when I asked what kind of yogurt they used in their smoothies and they replied "it's just a powder." After I chose my smoothie, they started it off with a syrupy mix, which looked sugary and gross. The only "fresh" thing they put in was blueberries, which looked like they had been sitting in the tub for days. They put a vanilla protein powder in, whatever, and then they blended it all together with some ice. The "smoothie" was a sugary, syrupy mess. On the brighter side, my friend got a strawberry smoothie which they put in some "fresh" strawberries and he added peanut butter which made it less sweet and Taste better. We probably still won't go back.

And you know when you just want a big bowl of good food? Yeah that was my mom and thank you Yelp for helping me find GLO! I got the Harvest Bowl which just so happened to be Vegan and Gluten Free. It was delicious and packed with all of my favorites like sweet potato, black beans, quinoa, etc. I usually don't opt for vegan cheeses but I honestly couldn't tell. Oh! And the lemoncane that I got (bottled from the fridge) was sweetttttt but so good. It was pretty expensive at $9 for the bottle, but loved that I could read all the good that it does like aiding in digestion and more wonderful things.

The protein is this smoothie blended right in and the taste of the Acai, strawberry, banana, chocolate protein, and coco whip was perfect. I am looking forward to getting this again!

If bathrooms are this disgusting and no upkeep for what they have- I can't imagine how the kitchen is. (The friend chicken was crispy, fresh, plenty of dill and lettuce). For 75.00?

I can't recommend this place enough.
