Sometimes it's worth it to invest in your health, reduce inflammation and get your serving of fruits, veggies, protein etc. Overall I like how every smoothie automatically has a protein powder boost.

I had the unicorn and loved it! The Avatar was quite green apple tasting. Both were super refreshing as I came here directly after an outdoor yoga class!

We also found out this location is family run and had such a pleasant experience when we stopped in with the owner providing amazing service. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area soon!

Tried this place for the first time.

Ha! I've been to this center soooo many times and never looked its way. It had seating out on the patio area. Was neat and orderly. I'll try this place again. They have lots of choices on the menus here!

The bowls are made with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the difference in the fruit and toppings. Everything is very fresh. The menu has a nice variety, a classic acai bowl or something a little different, and it's easy to customize to your liking.

Service has always been polite and efficient, even when they're busy. I usually order ahead on their website to avoid waiting and people.

To start, the employees here are so sweet! There are so many seating options inside, outside, and even an additional seating area in a more quiet and secluded room. I was a little nervous that the wheat alternatives would be bland or dry and hard, but everything was delicious! I ordered the Veggie Lovers pizza with vegan mozzarella and ricotta on a paleo crust. I was pleasantly surprised by how soft and flavorful the crust was! The vegan cheeses were also exceptional and the entire pizza was cooked perfectly. The tortillas that they use for the tacos are good as well. Whether you are gluten-free, vegan, trying to eat healthier, or simply accompanying a friend, Nectarine Grove has something for everyone!

I've even brought my parents a few times and it's always a hit. The space has plenty of seating and there's usually good parking nearby, which makes it an easy, relaxed stop.

Better Buzz is my absolute favorite coffee shop, and this is my favorite location. When I first…read morestarted coming here, the Hazelnut Divinity was my go to order. I liked how sweet it was, but now I prefer getting it half sweet. The signature drink is the Best Drink Ever. It is an Americano made with their house vanilla power, which gets mixed in with the espresso shots. It makes the drink creamier, but it still feels lighter than a latte. Over the past year, they have been rolling out a ton of different flavored cold foams. My personal favorited was a blue berry cold foam, but they had a coconut cold foam that tasted light summer. Lately I've been getting the Caramel Best Drink Ever. If it's your first time here, you can't go wrong with it. Better Buzz also has some solid food options. I like Better Breakfast Sandwich and it comes on a pretzel bun. If I am getting food, I almost always order the OG Açaí Bowl. It's great after a long run or a hot day at the beach.
