My go-to is usually the Peanut Butter Blast Bowl, and they always do a fantastic job with my Nutella addition. The Nutella is plentiful, which makes it even better! An extra-special thank-you to Omar today for letting me sample their new Great Pumpkin Bowl! I was curious about it, so I really appreciated the opportunity to try it. And thank you for admiring the photos I took, too! The atmosphere is casual and upbeat, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There's free curbside parking out front, and you can order at the kiosk or directly with a team member--whatever you prefer. It's a location I genuinely enjoy visiting, and the consistently great service makes it even more special. If you're in Del Ray, stop by and treat yourself!

Best açaí/smoothie bowl place by far!…read more It is slightly pricey but you pay for quality and service As far as smoothies go I've never been a fan of what they have to offer but let me tell you about this strawberry matcha lemonade smoothie. Y'all! This may be the best smoothie I've ever had. I almost don't event care that it cost $10-$14 The Del Rey location is definitely a favorite of mine you can sit outside with a cute scenic view instead of a parking lot. With that being said, there is no parking lot! I patronize this place periodically but after having this smoothie I see myself coming back more often

We stay at the Wharf more now when visiting DC, so when we do, we make sure to stop at the nearby…read moreToastique location. Its warm, clean design makes it quite welcoming for enjoying avocado toast with smoked salmon, which brings one to a place of spiritual oneness. With white walls, natural wood-grain tables and countertops, Toastique's design radiates minimalist, urban style while remaining inviting. Any time I have been there, the wait times have been stress-free, and the queues move quickly. Food-wise, you can't go wrong with their avocado toast with smoked salmon. With a generous portion of smoked salmon on top of avocado mash, on perfectly toasted sourdough bread, creating a place of tremendous well-being. The cucumbers, marinated tomatoes, red onion, capers, and a sprinkle of microgreens make for a fully satisfying meal without feeling like you are overdoing it with your life choices. Drink-wise, I always go for cold brew and the cold brew never lets me down there. Last time, they had a peanut-butter cold brew and a black cherry one, both of which were magical. This Toastique delivers every time.

We hoped to find a place that offered decaf coffee since it was late in the day, but really wanted something warm since it was a bit chilly outside. Unfortunately, this location of Toastique does not offer decaf - they only have a single hopper for their coffee, so it is not an offering. We were going to find another place, however, they said how about a hot chocolate or a tea. My friend is vegan and inquired if their hot cocoa was vegan, as most places have dairy in the chocolate. The cashier went to look at the chocolate syrup and also had another person look at it to verify it's vegan. My friend ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk. Even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes for her drink. We appreciated the effort to double check it was vegan, though I do wish they had decaf options.

Small smoothie bar located inside Club Studio…read more If you're into nutritious snacks, I'd recommend stopping by. I ordered the strawberry shortcake smoothie which was pretty solid, 330 cals and 20 grams of whey protein. At the end of the day, it's a protein smoothie so it's gonna taste like protein powder. That said, for a protein smoothie, it was pretty flavorful! But if you're ordering this expecting a sweet "regular" smoothie, you'll probably be disappointed. There are some other snacks and drinks at the register and a couple of seats, but this is definitely more of a to-go spot.

They did mess up my order, but remade it without a new issue

Introduction on the 100 reviews or less policy:…read more As I mentioned in a review recently, I've enacted a policy of only reviewing restaurants or businesses that have 100 or less reviews. Could there be an exception? Sure. But I have a long list of about 85 restaurants in the DC-Baltimore area that I've been to and were halfway memorable or interesting in some way. The 85+ restaurants will keep me busy for a while. My list goes in order from the most reviewed to least as of this past weekend. Tropical Smoothie in Alexandria had 97 reviews and is first on my list. Alexandria gets a decent amount of representation since I lived there the first 3 years in the DC area, and in fact the first 2 of 3 reviews on the list are in Alexandria. Experience/Taste/Customer Service: I went to this Tropical Smoothie on several occasions. The smoothies are always tasty. They were friendly and fast. One cool thing that Trop Smoothie does is donate to Camp Sunshine, which is a camp on a lake in Maine for children with life-threatening illnesses to give them the opportunity to enjoy various recreational activities around the scenic, picturesque lake, and has helped children from all 50 states & 27 countries. On the 3rd Friday in June from 2-7 PM, it's what they call National Flip Flop Day. If you wear flip flops, you get a FREE smoothie and instead of paying them, you can make a donation to Camp Sunshine. I went to this location on 2 of those National Flip Flop Days.
