Their menu offers a…read morevariety of flavors for those who prefer fruity/non-fruity bowls, and any of their bowls can be made into a smoothie if you want. This specific visit I tried the Espressyo Self bowl, and it was super filling with good flavors that weren't overpowering. I also appreciate how none of the bowls I've had here had that watery/icy texture that you find in lower quality bowls/smoothies. There's no AC (it's a walk-up and order type of place), but there is plenty of outdoor seating for days where the weather is nice. The parking is also a pain since their main lot is super limited, so you'll likely have to find parking and walk a little which is the same for all of the businesses in that area.

Mamaka Bowls in the Heights is a charming little spot.

The tiny lot behind the house-like building is easy to miss, and the driveway isn't very visible, so keep an eye out as you approach. The menu centers around smoothie bowls, which are fresh and flavorful. They also have tater tot breakfast tacos and some clothing swag. I had the mamaka bowl and added peanut butter. It was very light and refreshing. Service was friendly and relatively quick. Would definitely come back to try more menu items.

Parking is very tricky during peak hours but you can find neighborhood parking that is a bit further or go to the garage as they validate parking for you here. Staff is very friendly and there's a variety of delicious (and health-conscious) options on the menu! I was told that the most popular items are Leemoo Signature Bowl and Sweet Escape Smoothie. We opted for the Cacao Dream Bowl (acai bowl with peanut butter and cacao) and Sweet Escape Smoothie (tropical flavor) - both were beautifully presented and tasted so fresh. I will definitely be back for more next time!

I came during the grand opening and it was packed with a lot of students but the smoothie baristas still managed to get orders out in a quick manner and were super sweet. You can order at the kiosk or with one of the smoothie baristas. The space is fairly small with the main purpose of it being to just taking and dispensing orders.

Inside, it's on the smaller side, with a few tables for seating and a couple more outside. We were greeted right away, and our orders were taken promptly, which was appreciated. They offer a good variety of açaí bowls and smoothies, all priced reasonably--especially considering that açaí bowls aren't cheap to begin with. I ordered the Beach Bowl, one of their more popular options, and it definitely hit the spot. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying our açaí bowl craving. Overall, it's a solid place to grab a healthy snack or meal, especially after exercising at Memorial Park. Worth checking out!

I was greeted by the owner, Ivan, who was incredibly friendly, humble, and knowledgeable. He recommended a few menu items and was also open to my thoughts about them.

They opened just last month, and if you're still reading, I think it's worth giving Oasis a try and checking out the vibes that Lyric Market has to offer.

Long story short, some flub the temperature, others are too tart, however, this acai bowl is perfection.

In my last few visits to Stetsí Food Hall (#1), I haven't been able to leave the place without…read morestopping by XICA (#2), which specializes in fruit smoothies and fruit fresh bowls, while promoting wellness through natural ingredients. Surrounded by fruits of the day with plenty of plant greenery, it sits on a prominent corner of the food hall making it almost impossible to miss. As a "raw fruit bar" they tout the freshness of the ingredients while noting that nothing has added sugar, preservatives, and is beneficial for nutrition and overall wellness. I've had a number of drinks, mainly smoothies, as well as their bowls and have come away incredibly impressed each time. I'm not one to buy into hype, especially since most drinks are in the $10+/- range but they're just *so* good. For those that want to keep it simple, shoot for an agua fresca, which leans heavy into fruits like watermelon, mango, pineapple, strawberry, etc.. For me, the standouts are the pineapple cucumber lime ($9), strawberry lemonade ($9), watermelon pineapple ($9) and guava pineapple ($10). The wellness based drinks are concoctions that contain additional things such as honey, chia seeds, turmeric root, and even ginger. My favorites here are the Better Than Paloma ($9.50), Thriving Blue ($10), and The Big Ginger Shot ($10). For another $1, one can add more turmeric / ginger root or chia. They also have papaya bowls, fruit bowls, and overnight oats for those looking for a little jumpstart to the day. The smoothie bowls are also really excellent and feature a house-made granola with no powders and made to order. They also have salads and soups, but I have yet to try either. They all range from $11-14. The real treat for me has always been their "artisan" smoothies. They're perfect for on the go and I was surprised to learn there wasn't additional juice, ice, or artificial sweeteners given how hearty they tend to be. I'm the last person who wants to drop $10-12 on a smoothie, but I continually think about the Peanut Butter Cup ($10.50), Peanut Butter & Berries ($11.50), Dragon Fruit Delight ($11.50), Berrylicious ($11), and Purple Goddess ($12). Supposedly the smoothies with PB are the best sellers and I'm thankful they're all in a 20oz cup. Lastly, the owner is such a sweet woman. She and her employees have always been excellent with the service and do a bangup job with everything they put out. I see lots of potential for this Latin-owned biz and am hopeful that others can also indulge without the guilt. __________ (#1) Formally The Conservatory - Midtown.
