I stopped at Bowled in Troy for lunch very recently. They served up a variety of bowls including…read moresalad bowls, grain bowls, acai bowls, smoothies, waffles, toast, and cooler drinks. You can build your own bowl with choices of ingredients or they have signature bowls, waffles, and toast too. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Grain Bowl ($9.95 plus tax) which was comprised of brown rice, tomato, romaine lettuce, black beans, jalapenos, tortilla strips, soft grilled spicy chicken and Sriracha dressing on the side. The portion size was modest for the price, but it had very spicy flavors. For dessert, I ordered the Sweet Basic Waffle ($5.95 plus tax) which was a thick soft waffle (not warm) topped with almond butter spread, flax seeds, honey. This waffle was very filling to eat and the almond butter and honey made for a sweet and nutty flavor. Overall, the food here was pretty good and fresh. They also offer Grub Hub and DoorDash food delivery too.

This one is large, clean, and bright, with a row of tables along one wall. But there's a lot of open space here where other tables could exist. All your menu options are listed on screens on the wall, and there's no problems at all crafting any type of bowl as you want. My bowl here included 2 types of greens, the allowed-for extras, avocado added on, and an Asian sesame dressing. It was pretty good, but not strong in flavor, particularly in the dressing. Also, my avocado was very obviously overripe. I still think this is your best option for a healthy meal and/or a salad when you're in the immediate area, I just wasn't (pun intended) bowled over.

The order was taken at the register and then brought to our table. The food tasted great and was served quickly! All the dishes had a beautiful presentation! Coffee was a French press and was really good! The place had no cream or sugar for the coffee. Also there were no salt and pepper shakers on any table. When I asked for some salt they gave me a plastic sauce cap with some salt on the bottom to take it with my fingers. It was quite weird. For some reason "Butternut Squash Bowl" had only one egg while all other breakfast items had two. Not sure why this one was special. The real problem however was the smell. The very first impression we got upon entering was a strong smell of fried bacon and other foods. It was like standing next to a stove because the space is fully open, with no divider between the sitting area and the kitchen. In such a setup you need a strong hood exhaust but that in turn would make a lot of noise. Anyway, instead of taking our time enjoying the breakfast and great coffee we had to finish it asap and escape to prevent our jackets absorbing the smell :( We are giving Liza's of Troy 4 stars is it got 5+ on the food and coffee and 3 on the interior and atmosphere. Food ordered Butternut Squash Bowl - excellent and nicely presented. Had to order additional egg though. Breakfast Bowl - excellent and nicely presented. Big Betty Breakfast Sandwich - delicious.

This spot is a great quick stop for mornings…read more My wife and I stopped in a few days ago and ordered a smoothie bowl, a bagel, a smoothie, and a matcha. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The matcha was absolutely delicious and clearly made with care -- prepared in a proper bowl and whisked with a bamboo whisk. I asked for a bit of honey, which really pulled the entire experience together. Honestly, I'd give this place a 5/5 based on the matcha alone. The smoothie bowl (I go the one that has banana, peanut butter, honey, and some other toppings) was great overall, though I did have one small complaint: there were a few large chunks of ice mixed in, and I accidentally bit into them. Aside from that, the bowl was flavorful and enjoyable. My wife ordered a smoothie, which was just okay. I didn't particularly care for it, and she unfortunately didn't end up finishing it. The service was excellent. The woman who took our order was very friendly and helpful, and she even recommended the matcha -- which turned out to be a great suggestion. One last note: we had visited this spot about a year ago, and it looks like the interior has completely changed since then. The new layout is bright and welcoming, no longer dark, and features a mostly gray palette with accent plants and furniture that bring everything together nicely. It feels much cozier than before.

I've been to Healthy on Lark a few times over the years for their healthy vegetarian and vegan food…read moreofferings, and have always enjoyed everything without exception. They definitely know what they're doing with their tofu and tempeh and I appreciate that these ingredients are featured in their natural state, instead of processed for meat-imitation purposes. Whole-food plant-based people rejoice! That being said, they do have rotating specials such as noodle and taco dishes that will fool an unsuspecting meat lover, if that's your objective. Healthy of Lark also offers very strongly-brewed and locally-roasted coffee (not for the faint of heart), a great selection of teas, smoothies, and fresh, organic vegetable and fruit juices. In an attempt to kick start some weight loss and get healthy for the summer (and all of those annoying, er... I mean charitable, 5Ks), I recently purchased a three-day juice cleanse package from Healthy on Lark as well. A juice cleanse or fast is when you drink somewhere between 60-100 ozs of fresh juice, as well as hearty amounts of tea and water all throughout the day instead of solid food in order to flush out toxins from all of your body's excretory organs. Do your own research to see if it's for you and if you're up for the challenge (calorie-restriction is hard) and don't happen to have an industrial juicer in your home - Head over to Healthy on Lark! Before I began, I met with Healthy on Lark's proprietor (a certified health counselor) to discuss my objectives and juice preferences. I opted for a package of 64 ozs of fresh juice and one 16 oz nut milk smoothie with a protein supplement per day for $134 (total, plus tax and tip). (You can also purchase whole food snacks and/or a meal as a part of your cleanse, but I elected to wait and gauge my hunger and make my own real food as I needed it - which I did). Every morning for 3 days, my fresh juice was delivered right to my doorstep in eco-friendly mason jars. I really appreciated the convenience and enjoyed most of the juice concoctions, especially the ones that were vibrantly vegetal in flavor and green in color. Unfortunately, there were a few things that I wish had gone differently and that now I know for next time. First of all, tell the proprietor what you want and if you want a complete break down of the juice ingredients. I guess I just assumed I would receive variations of the basic flavor combinations on the regular juice menu (which all sounded delicious), but that's not the case with the cleanse package, unless your specifically ask for it. Also, if you want 3-4 (or more) different varieties of juices per day (to keep it interesting), you also have to make that clear. Some days I received 32 ozs each of only two different juice combinations so I got bored pretty quickly. (Actually on this issue, I was told that was the only option because otherwise they would need to give me 5 (!) small mason jars per day, but I consented to this approach because I thought I would be receiving 2 days worth of juice at a time and so I could switch it up myself. This didn't end up being the case.) I also would have preferred smaller jars with individual servings so that the second serving of juice wouldn't oxidize in the half empty jars for a few hours, which definitely changed the flavor. Lastly, keep in mind that Healthy on Lark is not offering some groupon mail-order juice products with fancy labels and instructions. Make sure you do your own independent and thorough research about juice cleansing and if you're not feeling great, communicate with the proprietor as soon and as much as possible.
