I'm always like oh to try something new (ok, as long as it's chocolate-related...) and they always help me choose something delicious! Prices are normal for a small coffee shop and the small-town feel is perfect! They have Dominoes and other board game and books available for use which is soooo nice- even ones for little kids. I'd highly recommend this place- so perfect!

I think, I'm not certain, I think it started out as a ministry of the church and has become a full-blown coffee shop. There are items to purchase, like decorative items, the baristas are friendly and knowledgeable about their products, there were several people seated inside. There is the one seating area that's pictured, and then a separate larger room that seemed pretty full that day. Would be a great place for groups to meet to do a Bible study or something, nothing there demonstrates that has to be for Christians only. Love the touch of having a chalkboard where you can leave a prayer request. It's worth a recommendation if you're out and in that area!

They greeted me upon entry, helped me decide which smoothie to try & fixed it up quickly. My Caribbean Sunrise smoothie is delicious. Very flavorful, but all the flavors play together well & make for a very satisfying treat. They have quite a few healthy meal prep style entrees for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I saw prices on those ranging from $5-$15. Not bad for quality, ready-to-make meals. I also noticed they have a microwave available on site so if you need to warm your meal while you're there, you could! I'm glad I made the stop & would certainly come back again. Bonus point: they had a linen candle burning & it smelled wonderful!

I seriously wish I lived in the area because I would visit the smoothie bar about every day. The…read moreSmoothie Bar is located inside of Fit Flavors, so when you're looking for the sign take note. When you arrive to the smoothie bar there is a menu with lots of options, and all of the macros/calories are listed. They use 1st Phorm protein powder, which if you are not a protein powder guru, I'll let you know that it is great tasting and amazing quality. Love that company and all of their products. I ordered a 24 oz peanut butter cup smoothie, which was only about 340 calories. When you drink this smoothie you'll be shocked on how it is only 340 calories. The taste is phenomenal and not too sweet either. They also have thick straws so that you're not wasting too much time trying to suck the smoothie up. You can tell that these are quality smoothies that are not pumped with added sugars and unnecessary additives. You'd feel confident in having one for a meal or a post workout with zero guilt. I can't wait to come back tomorrow and the rest of my time visiting the area to try some more smoothies!

I was on Ballas the other day and happened to notice this place. Being a sucker for all things…read morehealthy, especially smoothies, I decided to give it a whirl. I walked in and was greeted immediately by whom I'm assuming were the owners. I mentioned that I saw an advertisement for a free smoothie. She said yes, but that it was free with purchase of a food item and after downloading the app. After downloading the app, we were back in business. Since I had an upcoming boxing class in a couple hours, I went with something light and got the spinach, pesto, and feta wrap but without the feta. I chose the Island Green for my smoothie, which consists of spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, and banana. I decided to sit at the bar while my items were being made. After a few minutes, one of the owners walked from behind the counter and handed me my food. I was floored. I don't take gestures like that for granted, especially since he didn't have to do that. I chatted with him for a bit while the other owner continued processing the orders. He said they've been open since January and business has been going really well. I ended up eating this in my car since I still had a few other places to go. The wrap was the perfect size (at least for me)! It was a bit on the smaller side but still packed a powerful punch. The egg and pesto were spot on; I don't recall tasting the peppers but it may have been because I was so hungry! The smoothie was delicious and had the right amount of sweetness and nutrition minus the guilt. Due to the promo, I only paid for the sandwich, so getting a 2-1 is always a win in my book! Overall, the owners couldn't have been nicer. I felt welcome from the moment I entered. I love all the different options for food and drinks, and especially like that you can add enhancements. I def. plan on making this place a staple in my routine and you should too!

I came here on my quest for new smoothie places to try. When I walked in, I was greeted immediately…read moreand the attendant was quick to answer any questions I had regarding the menu and products. I noticed they had more than smoothies, and my eyes immediately went to the juice case. They have quite the selection of pressed juices, shots, protein balls, and other things. After scanning the menu, I got the peanut butter and banana toast, nirvana pressed juice, and birthday cake protein balls. She asked if I was a member of Orange Theory and I said, "no." They have a special partnership with them that I think includes a certain percentage off, so maybe I should become a member! I drank the juice first and tried one of the protein balls while I was waiting on my toast. The juice was refreshing and on the sweeter side, which is what I wanted. The protein ball was good, but the after taste was a little odd. Perhaps it was the flavor? It was recommended by person working. Although I'm not writing it off entirely, I may have better luck with the other flavors (cookie dough, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and red velvet). It didn't take long before my toast was ready and I was on my way. I managed to sneak a few bites in before I made it home and they more than exceeded my expectations. For the record, any place that uses Union Loafers bread can do no wrong in my book. The toast was quite savory and I def enjoyed it more with each bite. Fyi, they lay the pb on pretty thick, so make sure you chew thoroughly! All in all, a solid protein packed meal all around. I hate that I got full after one piece, so let's hope I can finish the other piece later!

After you deal with the parking, which can be a bit inconvenient as it's in a crowded intersection and parking lot - though I noticed neon banana has a few dedicated parking spots for 5 minute parking which helps! - you find the cute little locally-owned shop amongst the strip mall. What I first noticed & loved was the vibe and concept of the shop! The literal bananas around are fun & def has a mildly-funky-but-still-upscale vibe. I knew to expect juices and smoothies but was pleasantly surprised to find a few other food items like bread, broth, protein balls, overnight oats, and more. I tend to be basic with my tastes so I was hesitant to try some of their smoothies with elaborate ingredients. I chatted with the friendly cashier/smoothie extraordinaire & I said I was leaning towards the regular strawberry but wanted to try something a little out of my comfort zone, but not too far out. She recommended the neon banana (COCONUT WATER, ORANGE JUICE, BANANA, PINEAPPLE, MANGO, BLUE MAJIK (BLUE SPIRULINA/COCONUT WATER). I'm so glad I tried - it's delicious! They're also willing to customize. When I mentioned I don't love coconut, she said she could take out the coconut water. The blue spirulina wasn't my fave but the flavor & the rest of the smoothie was amaze, would def get again. The cons: It is pricey, this particular 16oz smoothie being $10.95. Also, the hours are somewhat limited, closing most days at 4:30. However - I don't know of too many locally owned smoothie cafes so I think the juice is worth the squeeze on this one ;) I could see myself coming back for a late morning or early afternoon snack, for sure getting the neon banana again or trying some of the other flavors. I'd probably avoid busy times of day like lunch or commute times. It would probably be a once in awhile splurge place, but would love to make it back again!

Even though it was just the two of us this time, we were seated right away. As the hostess led us to a table in the back, we were pleasantly surprised to see that Erin was our server again. She's upbeat, friendly, and always welcoming with a smile. Erin does an excellent job staying attentive and making sure guests feel taken care of throughout the meal. We started brunch with coffee and water while looking over the menu. My wife ordered the Brussels and Eggs, and I went with the Belgian waffle with a side of hash browns. Our food arrived within about 15 minutes, and everything was fresh, hot, and very enjoyable. The service was phenomenal. Erin checked on us several times during our visit without ever being overbearing, which really added to the experience. After two great visits in less than a week, I think we may have found our new go-to brunch spot.

I liked the whole vibe and dive bar feel of the place. The menu is very eclectic and clever, some items will give you a good chuckle. Music was good too! Food was really decent and and hugeee portion. I got the corned beef hash and scrambled eggs. I probably could've done without the scrambled eggs because it was drizzled with something on top of the eggs. I'm usually picky about my eggs to begin with and I didn't really eat it. But the corned beef portion size didn't equate to the eggs size. I was kinda left fishing for more corned beef. It was nice but had different flavor than I'm use to...not the southern taste I was looking for. But I still appreciated the meal. The drink was very very sweet, too sweet to enjoy. The viscosity was also a bit off.

The cup always seems lighter than expected. Maybe they use more foam than liquid? Accessiblity: Unfortunately this locations is not easily accessible. Hopefully once all the construction working is over you can enter off Olivette rather than driving through the shopping plaza to access drive thru. Service: Service at this location was also rather slow compared to the others. I had to wave to a worker to get my order because only one person was outside taking orders from one lane. A few cars came & place order after me and got through. The guy who ended up taking my order seemed as though he was having a day... Recommendation: Think I'll keep trying different flavors until I find "the one." Think I'll give their cold drink a try (not this location though).
