I normally go to the Norfolk…read morelocation but I was in Chesapeake for a festival and this location was minutes away so I'm was happy to pay it a visit. This location was busy, packed with teenagers having a hangout sesh which I thought was cute. There were also people coming in and out grabbing orders for take out. I ordered the Fajita Pita as a rice bowl as always at the other location and I also got a Strawberry Watermelon Pineapple Juice. It took a little minute to get my food just because it was busy which I didn't mind. My rice bowl tasted the same as the other location which gave me much satisfaction and is a testament of the consistency across locations. The juice was refreshing and well balanced. Overall I enjoyed my pickup and I am happy to know there's another location I can go to if I need and want to. I am craving it as I write this review!!!

My wife and I both got the sweet and spicy poke bowls, mine with pickled onions, and hers with the…read morecreamy poke sauce. The person behind the counter was nice, though it kinda felt like they were trying to be nice if that makes sense. Whatever, I've read about this place before so I knew what to expect. Honestly, I didn't think this spot would work considering where it's located, but it does. The food was fresh, solid portions, and I'd definitely go back.

But I really wanted something a little lighter and healthier. Toastique was the perfect alternative. It was a min walk from where we were. The dining area is clean and modern with a calming, natural color palette. It makes you want to linger with free Wi-Fi and complimentary ice water (in the jug that has citrus floating in it). We were immediately greeted by the manager owner. It's a seat yourself and order at the counter set up. We hadn't grabbed a menu when we came in and the owner intuitively brought menus to our table. We ordered the avocado smash toast, the Blue Mystique smoothie bowl, and the Greek toast. Service was quick and they brought it out to our table. Each item came out looking beautiful, fresh, and delicious. I sampled the 'cure' cold pressed juice and now I feel like I need to go back to get a bottle to go. Excuse the pics, I always forget to take the pic first when the food comes out looking good, lol. I found the prices to be very reasonable for what you get compared to other "fresh food" fast restaurants. Definitely put this place on your list as a chill place to catch up with friends or to set up your laptop for some work while enjoying a variety of yummy fresh food choices. Oh, I always like to note when places have single stall unisex bathrooms and they did. The service quality and flavor is always my primary motivator when deciding where to eat. BUT I love having the bonus of knowing this franchise location is Bipoc owned/operated.

My husband said this place was too "bougie" for him but I did enjoy it. It's pricey for open-faced…read moretoast sandwiches but they are fresh, delicious and beautifully executed. We were lucky, no line when we entered so we chose a smoothie, kid's grilled cheese for my daughter that was a half sandwich with apple slices and avocado on the side and the salmon toast for me. The salmon was fresh and yummy and the combination of toppings were all very complimentary. It was a large portion with fresh ingredients and like an entire avocado on it. They also have bowls and other options. Inside is very clean and neat and minimalistic/modern decor. I also love the location here in a busy new shopping/living area with some other shops and things to see and do. We walked around for a while exploring the area and had a great time. It's clean and has easy parking either on the street or in a nearby garage.

The location is a unassuming but don't be deterred. The young lady that owns the business was very knowledgeable, quick and provided excellent service and an amazing product.

This was my first time here and the staff member was really patient in explaining where they get their products and recommendations for different things. He said the shop has been there for about 10 years. The smoothies and juices are both really good and there are a lot of size options. I love a giant juice so it was nice to have that option. For a big juice, 2 smoothies, and 2 wheat grass shots, we paid 50 dollars. Not bad when you consider the health benefits. Loved it!

The negative is parking, but if willing to walk it's not that bad as the lot is pretty large. It seems like they get a decent amount of foot traffic from the neighborhood. The exterior area was clear of debris. The interior is somewhat small, but suits them just fine. A combo of booths and bar works for the scale of business.. Service was friendly at the counter. It was appreciated to have helpful staff answer questions. Ultimately incentives right before close I got a breakfast Baby Bowl Açaí that consisted of strawberries, blueberries, & granola. My order pushed out in around 10 minutes and was so yum!!! Really appreciated a real spoon...thank you very much! Absolutely don't snooze on Zeke's with several locations on the Southside and one franchised in NC.

I chose the jerk chicken wrap, chips, and the Green Squeeze juice. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The jerk chicken wrap was well-seasoned and satisfying, the chips were crisp, and the Green Squeeze juice was refreshing and smooth -- not overpowering, just clean and energizing. The service really stood out. My order came out quickly, and instead of calling my name, the staff brought the food directly to my table, which was a nice touch. Customer service was attentive and welcoming the entire time. Overall, great food, great service, and a pleasant experience. I'll definitely be returning and would recommend Simpli Natural to anyone looking for fresh, flavorful options.

Bright tropic colors and plenty of seating to include bar, booth or tables. I bar seating faces the smoothie area I wouldnt mind that but looking out the window even if its the parking lot would be nice. Spacious parking and two 15 minute parking slots in the immediate front. This location is in a plaza with various other businesses so you can stop in before a movie or after a workout. I need to make a couple more stops here to try out all the flavors as I tend to stick with the same drink all the time. Might as well take advantage of a price cut and sample away.

My daughter got a cup of banana pudding ice cream, which she really enjoyed. I got the cucumber lemonade, which tasted more like honey dew melon, but it was good and refreshing on a hot day.

Overall, this is a cute little ice cream shop, and i would definitely go back.
