Disclaimer: We went there after a hike at the nearby park on a Sunday after hours, so all shops were closed. The mall was very quiet, so I don't have a good sense of how this place is during rush hour. Healthy wraps and food, fresh juice, and breakfast all day! Portions are very generous; I took half the wrap with me. And the dessert menu is a must-have! Staff is accommodating, and they love dogs :) Overall, a good experience; if you are looking for healthy fast food in the area, this is your place!

It's definitely overpriced, though that's kind of expected for a health-focused spot in Chestnut Hill. The portions were generous, and we were pleasantly surprised by the flavor. We both agreed the food was good--but nothing you couldn't get at places like Cava or Sweetgreen for a fraction of the price. That said, if you're looking for decent food with chill, calm vibes to take your girly friends, this is a good option. However, I definitely don't recommend the matcha. Overall, the place is cute...just not $70 cute.

This time I got the buffalo chicken caesar wrap, and apparently non-creamy caesar dressing is becoming more popular because here and few other places have been having that. The caesar wrap was good but I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little disappointed about the lack of creamy caesar. My sister got the Italian Tuna Panini from their specials menu and she was so obsessed she looked up a recipe on the way home.

The thick cut fries are perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper. The service is friendly and efficient. The cashiers are very knowledgeable of the menu. The space is clean and feels welcoming. No pictures yet since I finished eating without making a review. Will be back.

I had an upset stomach so decided to go light and ordered a grilled cheese, my friend ordered a breakfast quesadilla and my other friend got chicken tenders & fries.

My friend loved her breakfast quesadilla, she said it was insanely good. It had steak, beans, and peppers - I would go for that or the buffalo chicken wrap next time. Food took about 15 minutes to come out despite it being a full house inside. Grilled cheese and fries was $12.

Get there early if you want to find seating.

Food was good, we had the shakshuka croissant and the muhamarra feta sandwich on a Turkish bagel. The shakshuka croissant is made Turkish style and that's why the eggs are almost mashed into the curry. The muhamarra was very tasty, going lighter on the feta may be a good idea otherwise it can tend to be overly salty. We also tried the meet point latte which has sahlep tea and sprinkled with rose leaves. It was good but I couldn't taste anything much different than a plain latte. The cold milky baklava was a pleasant surprise. Soaked through, it is a moist tasty delight! The only reason it's not 5 stars is because a lot of the coffee syrups and also some desserts like cakes are not made in house, which was a tad disappointing. The owners are very friendly and kind. It was the parent cafe's (Dolma) birthday and they offered everyone a piece of celebratory baklava. They're a newer cafe and I wish them the best and that they are successful!

DASH is where its at in Brighton! Awesome quality food for a kick ass price. Everything is freshly made as you order, no processed food here. The menu is extensive and has something for everyone, carnivore, vegetarian, vegan even people with food allergies. A creative well thought out menu is unique and tasty! Pulled pork with mango salsa is bomb! The burritos are delicious and HUGE! Grilled beef sandwich is awesome and perfect amount of spice to it! The ginger lemonade is money, sweet and tangy! oh yea and top of the line coffee, not this DD sludge you get at other places. All around this place is great! Cozy and fresh vibes, friendly staff, the owners are there every day. Great food for great price, cant beat it. Whether you want a sandwich, salad, burrito, coffee or tea this place has got it covered. Check it out you won't be disappointed! read more

Dash is a great new addition to the area! I went for the first time yesterday and I'm already wanting to go back. They have an excellent variety of unique dishes, including many options for people with food allergies. The atmosphere is great too. It would be a great place to chill over coffee/tea or meet up with friends for breakfast or lunch. Give Dash a try, you will be pleasantly surprised! read more
