    I like the chocolate joy and happiness smoothie. The chocolate joy one just tastes like desert.

    Goji Berry Bowl! 10/10
    Marlene A.

    attention all reservoir walkers and runners alike! energize is the perfect place to stop for a pre- or post-reservoir treat! they have so many unique options that you won't find at your typical smoothie place. their options also very paleo and vegan friendly by default! i tried both the goji berry bowl and the cashew cheesecake. they are very filling and packed with nutrients! the cashew cheesecake is on the sweeter side but both hit the spot!

    Second time here, really fun concept, delicious fresh food, and a good bargain. Tired of fatty and pesticide/germ-infested animal foods, and pizza. I hope more people try this place out right in Oak Square. Yum!

    Great açaí bowls. Love the coffee lover smoothie. Healthy plant based coffee. Plenty of seating and clean bathroom.

    Refreshing drink options, worth replacing espresso and coffee with all of the above instead!

    Acai bowl ($9.90, May 2017)
    Logan D.

    Pros: -Roomy, clean, and bright inside! -Lots of vegan options! Cons: -No nutrition info available -Pricey -- Acai Bowls ($9.90) Beautiful and very refreshing, though pricey. Update: thanks to the Energize team for reaching out to let me know the Acai bowl is ~450 calories, and the ingredients they use are all organic which contributes to higher prices.

    Super Salad

    Yes, yes, and more yes for this juice, smoothie bowl, and salad joint! You can trust they're giving you the best ingredients as well as your money's worth because they pack their smoothies/salads with the good stuff rather than just fillers. Further I always ask if the açaí is sweetened, and this was the FIRST place in Boston where it is NOT--meaning these bowls are actually good for you. My protein bowl with no dates tasted amazing, almost like ice cream, and my salad was filled with great and tasty ingredients. Staff is friendly, place is clean, and they have such an array of toppings and choices you won't leave disappointed!

    Green life smoothie

    I woke up really needing some fresh fruits and vegetables, so I turned to Energize. Something I really appreciate about Energize is that their produce is organic, which I don't see as often as I think I should. I ordered the "energize juice" which is a juice of kale, celery, cucumber, green apple, and lime. I also ordered the "green life" smoothie (actually is under their "liquid meal" category, of 24oz smoothies), which consisted of a fresh juice base (juiced cucumber, celery, kale, and lime) blended with avocado spinach and spirulina. The smoothie definitely had an avocado taste to it, which I enjoyed but is definitely an acquired taste. Both the juice and the smoothie were delicious and exactly what I needed this morning. I definitely will be back for more of the same, as well as to try the açaí bowls and salads.

    I'm really glad that they brought back the cashew energy bites. I sincerely hope that they'll add new items to the menu for the summertime.

The tartness of the lemon was balanced perfectly with the savory elements of the dish. The homemade phyllo dough is to die for. Baked to a perfect crisp, and full of bready aromas. Tsoureki (9/10): This sweet bread was also amazing. The whipped cream was delicious and tasted homemade. The maple yogurt was also delicious, adding just the right amount of acidity to cut through the sweetness of the dish. Breakfast Hilopites (7/10): Very unique dish. Our waitress described it as a "breakfast carbonara." The sausage was the best part of this dish. The pasta was tasty as well. Saganaki (3.5/10): The fried cheese is way too greasy. It comes in the pan, so there's a pool of grease still at the bottom. We had this dish last, and it felt like a bad way to finish the meal. The cheese itself was delicious (the nuts too), but the dish still lacked something to cut through the grease. Loukanikopita (8/10): The sausage was really good. All their phyllo dishes are awesome. The yogurt was good as well. Hortopita (7.5/10): Also a great phyllo dish. Yogurt was great. Loved the addition of dill. Souvla & Eggs (8/10): Lamb was very tender. Cooked and seasoned well. I think it was a tad too salty, though. The salad was light and refreshing, with a nice touch of acidity. Strapatsada (7/10): Solid dish. Not a must-order, but I did enjoy all the flavors and textures melding together. The sourdough was solid. We also had the Vlacha Cola, which was crisp and refreshing. Service is very friendly. I would definitely come back. I would say it's better than their sister restaurant, Krasi.

The beef cheek, on the other hand, had a mild but good taste, and the meat was very, very tender. The 6-dip spread was a fun experience and probably one of the more memorable things to order if you are with other people. The feta was definitely the best dip by far, while the others were okay. One thing to keep in mind is that you have to order bread separately, which is worth knowing before you commit to the dips. Overall, I still enjoyed the meal, but it felt a little mixed. There are some dishes I would gladly get again, and others I would skip.

This price range is more close to the city price range. The lamb shank is flavorful, the salad that comes with it is fresh and the dressing is on the sour side, which is appetizing. The conch fritter came out hot and the batter is nice and not greasy. The ambiance is ok, with some jazz music playing in the background. The service is also ok, not extra friendly nor attentive; everyone was just doing their job.

    I was drawn to this place by the unique blend of Mediterranean and Caribbean menu, and I was not…read moredisappointed. I appreciated how much this place leans into both cultures from decor showcases both cultures to their balanced menu featuring dishes from both. There is ample seating at this place and dont let the construction outside deter you because they are open. We ordered the cheese manakish to start, and this might have been my favorite dish. Balanced with two types of cheese with a light airy texture to it kept it from feeling too dense. The pita its on is crunchy and thin, and theres a drizzle of sauce, likely some form of pesto, that cuts the flavor making it a truly enjoyable dish. We also ordered the chicken kebabs and roasted jerk chicken. The kebabs were a great portion with tender chicken, some greens, and grains. I personally could have used more tzakai, but thats a personal preference. Overall though, the meal did not feel heavy and I left feeling full but not overtly stuffed which I was happy with. My husband's jerk chicken was a sizable dish. The chicken was tender and fell right off the bone, and the pilaf had a nice flavor to it. Overall we really enjoyed our meals. The service can take some time, but its a super small staff so just be patient.

Service was awesome. The smoothies were really good. My sandwich was good too. I liked the bread and the cheese. I thought it would be grilled for some reason but I must have been confused with the menu. I ate half the sandwich and saved the other half to eat at the airport. It not only held up well, it tasted even better. It was 1:30pm on a Monday and the place was packed! It's a well-oiled machine!

    I ordered through DoorDash so I'm not sure how much blame pressed cafe gets, but the açaí bowl I…read moregot was basically a soup with how watery it was. The bottom of the bowl was slightly cold so maybe the DoorDasher had it under a heater, I don't know. Either way I wasted $15 on an açaí bowl that was gross. You can see in the two pics where I tilt it and it slides easily (because it's water). This was very disappointing for my daughter and she couldn't eat any of it. I've had one delivered from tropical smoothie cafe that arrived in an edible state and was delicious. It was just as expensive as this one and half the size, but atleast it was edible and yummy. Edit: Changing from 2 stars to 3. I called the store and the manager offered to remake it for me so if that's one good, this review can be bumped up to 4-5 stars :D Edit 2: Jose took care of it for me with awesome service. Unfortunately the açaí bowl was only okay so 4 stars is as good as this review will get.
