Such a fire juicery in Bay Ridge! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are craving a smoothie or fresh juice. My friend and I tried their green juice and their mango juice and they were both sooo refreshing and delicious. They have plenty of seating inside and the workers are nice! Service is also very quick. 10/10 recommend :)

Simple instructions. They could not follow simple instructions. Smoothie: strawberry, banana, vanilla cream. Blended. Toppings: whipped cream, mixed nuts. That's it. Do better.

This is a nice little coffee shop. They made the Turkish coffee in hot sand in front of you, definitely an interesting experience. They put cardamom in the coffee, giving it a distinguish taste. I loved it.

Best juice in the neighborhood! Only $6 for a 20oz. I got the pineapple apple spinach and kale blend. Super quick and fresh.

Fahafahena. Wow delicious what a treat this place is brand new to me but feels familiar . This place is the healthy place this neighborhood needed. To hell with Jamba Juice . Hemo's spot is the place to be. Fresh smoothies fresh juice energy drinks protein available the açaí bowl I had Bella Nutella sweet and filling. The man who runs the show is professional and charming . I recommend dates family or just grabbing a healthy drink on the fly.

~DO NOT ORDER ONLINE~ Incident#1 I ordered via yelp on 09/08/2020 and the carrot juice we received was super bitter-I didn't call to complain or request a replacement because I thought well how would they know that the carrots they juiced were gonna taste bitter-fine whatever, we just threw it out-$5 down the drain. Incident#2 I order on 09/11/2020 a total of 5 drinks, 3 of the same item and 2 other items for a total of 5 drinks. I only get 3 delivered. I ask the driver to look around and check and he tells me that's all they gave him and to call the store. I call and the person that picks up tells me "no there are a total of 3 items" I explain to him that's impossible since I have an e-mailed receipt and clearly the price reflects that there are more than 3 items. One of the drinks is 3 items alone + 2 other drinks for a total of 5 drinks. He states he can't see that and suggests I call Grubhub. When I call Grubhub, they call the store and driver and decide to refund me for the missing items. I press the agent to tell me what equipment the store uses and if this was possibly a technical difficulty and she clearly explains to me that she sees exactly what I see on my receipt which is 5 drinks in total and that there is no way the store doesn't see this. Ummm.... ok I see what's going on here. Here's my issue, when a customer calls you and says something is missing, then something is missing-you don't just discount their inquiry and brush them off. At least sound somewhat epathetic even if you have to fake it. And although we love most of their drinks and never order anything less than $50 worth, this negative experience has driven us to look for a new smoothie/juice spot. Bottomline here, no matter how good you think your product may taste, it's not enough to retain repeat customers if your customer service is lacking.

My cousin introduced me to Hemo's as her favorite smoothie spot. She's well known there and ordered two of her regular green smoothies. I got the 20oz and she got the 32oz. The smoothie was light and refreshing...I don't know what was in it but I felt great after drinking it. I also had a Nutella açaí bowl. It was very rich....way too much Nutella. It was tasty for sure but overwhelming. Next time I'll like try the regular berry açaís. The owner was super friendly. I love that we could see all of the fruits and veggies he uses in his recipes. Very fresh. read more

Hands down my favorite coffee spot in New York for many reasons - price, quality, and strength. Every time I come to bayridge, I make a stop here especially for the Turkish coffee which they lit cardamom in. Interestingly you can get a Large size of the Turkish coffee as well. They have these pastries that I don't remember the name of but are these round little coconut flaked shortbread texture type cookies - heaven. I had taken my brother here when he was visiting and was just as obsessed with the Turkish cardamom coffee as I was so I bought some of the beans here. The owner or at least the person I always see here is also very nice and will answer any questions you have on the options. read more

This spot just opened recently and they did a really good job on the look of the store, using bright colors and great lighting. Finally went in to get a smoothie yesterday, and not only was the smoothie good, but the prices are extremely reasonable (especially for the area), and the gentleman that made it went above and beyond - I ordered a medium and he made extra, so he made it into a large... and I had my 3-year old son with me, for whom he made a tiny smoothie on the side for him! I don't expect that every time I visit, but what a great first impression. That's how you get repeat business!! read more

I think I ordered the wrong thing, the fruit looks very fresh here and I know they have a full grill.... However I put my order in for an Acai bowl, and got in return a bowl of what looked like a brown smoothie ( i thought the acai was supposed to be semi frozen and scoop-up-able ). It was presented like a soup, in a plastic take out bowl and it was spilling over the sides so I had to be given a plastic bag. It was honestly nearly impossible to eat and i was also disappointed to find that the granola used to top it was actually just dry oats, and not something crunchy or sweet that would ameliorate the flavor... I want to go back and try something else, but if it's an acai bowl I am just prepared to explain exactly how I like it! read more

I was craving a smoothie, but something more traditional like a little shop back home. I've heard of Hemo's before, but today was my first day trying it. Lord and behold, this was phenomenal. I got the mango with the nits, kinda like a cocktail, and it tasted so good!! It's also super cheap. I've tried other places and you pay $10 for a small uncreative smoothie... if you're reading this you need to try Hemo's. read more

This opened up around the corner from me and I was excited about it. I went in and waited at the counter while several people behind it did some things and all ignored me. Eventually, one guy behind the counter asked what I wanted, but was SO unfriendly. I got a juice and it was fine. Nothing incredible - it is what it is. I will try it again and hope for better service but I generally don't like to patronize places that make me feel like I'm bothering them or they are miserable to be there. read more

Beets and Carrots Farm-to Table

My new favorite restaurant…read more The food was good, fresh, presumably well-sourced based on taste, and a very fair value. The restaurant is not overly expensive -- the $65.00 lunch bill below suggests a high-end selection and/or apps. I had a pineapple mint lemonade, sea bass on saffron risotto, a lovely salad topped with potato gnocchi, and cake dessert for $85 inclusive of 20% tip and tax. Nearly everything tasted fresh and homemade. Worth it. If this were served in Restaurant Row, the bill would be $40 more and the food not nearly as good. Because Beets & Carrots offers something rare and startlingly somehow in decline: food that tastes like food the body happily accepts as such. They serve meals that stand out simply because they taste like food. It was nice to dine outside the home feeling confident no digestive issues, lethargy, brain fog, bloating, etc were around the corner. You can tell that someone health conscious who cares about how ingredients show up in the meal is in the kitchen, someone who thinks food is both very fun and very serious. Least favorite: The lemonade. Mostly personal preference here, as I prefer a much tarter, less watery lemonade with higher lemon:water volume ratio. But I think most people would like it; I would get it again. Favorite: Both the entree and salad (which surprised me with a deliciously simple horseradish dressing) were great, but the bass wins in my book. Skin crisped to perfection...very flavorful fish and a great cut...creamy, perfect risotto. I appreciated that the risotto wasn't too salty as well.

I will say again the food was very good but they screwed up the orders. Will I go back, I don't know but I hope in future they write orders down so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

In this case, it was not handled properly, I ordered salmon it came half a portion and broken apart? The toppings I paid extra for very extremely sparse and worst of all the dressing was literally gray. Until you dipped your spoon into it and saw the "green" part of the green goddess. Also tasted like ranch with a hint of cilantro. Not my favorite at all. Won't be ordering from here again unfortunately.

Boca Del Cielo - Bay Ridge Brunch Gem…read more I stopped by Boca de Cielo in the Bay Ridge area for brunch with the kids, and it turned out to be such a cozy and welcoming spot. You order your food at the front counter, and while we waited, the owner surprised us with a complimentary almond croissant since it was our first visit. It was absolutely delicious -- flaky, fresh, and easily one of the best almond croissants I've ever had. The menu has a great variety of options. We went with the steak and eggs and buttermilk street pancakes. The steak was tender and full of flavor, the home fries were seasoned perfectly, and the pancakes were fluffy and delicious. We also tried the Tropical Bliss Juice, a refreshing blend of pineapple, mango, and orange that's freshly pressed to order. From the warm decor to the amazing food and friendly service, everything about this place was fantastic. I can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu!

Today, I deviated from my norm and got the beet boost (the ginger shined through - which I loved); I got the steak wrap w/o tomatoes - definitely good. This came w/a salad (but your cheapy iceberg lettuce ;) and balsamic drizzle - all in all, a delicious meal. The seating has definitely changed the quality of the food and dranks are still fire

The Common

Open kitchen and limited amount of seats let us keep the place cozy and intimate, just like home. We make sure to buy from local purveyors, coffee roasters, and bakers." Home is where the heart is and there is nothing quite like a home cooked meal. I have to say most Bay Ridgians enjoy dining local and in our neighborhood. I love to support neighborhood gems because majority of restaurant owners here, love their clients, establish loyalty through cooking delicious food and provide consistent great customer service. I was in the mood for a " comfort food"breakfast, you know, eggs, avocado, mozzarella, tomato, deliciousness and I found it on the menu simply named "Breakfast Sandwich". Which consists of voila: Mozzarella, avocado, tomato jam, arugula, crispy bacon, dijonaise, sunny side up egg between multigrain toasts. I ordered this sans the bacon ( requested turkey bacon which they do not have). What arrived in my plate was this decadent open faced egg sandwich that looked delectable.. and was!! Let's first talk about the wheat toast: I tasted it naked and it simply melted in my mouth. The ingredients worked well together, perfect synchronicity. I used one half of the toast to sop up any fallen ingredients. Highly recommend! For a drink, I wanted something a bit different, thus, ordered the Mango Mint Peach tea, fruity with a hint of mint. Loved it and went well with the Sammy! There are lovely options besides breakfast sandwiches like quinoa, oatmeal, granola, pancakes, French toast.. breakfast is served all day and lunch is served @noon. I arrived before 12 and was told I can order breakfast or lunch. It has a cozy, intimate vibe which I love.. one where you can dine solo, or do work or read or just enjoy the fabulous food. I will make "The Common" my home away from home. Additionally, there are cooking classes in their Park Slope location; the courses look great: Italian feast, Moroccan cooking, Wine Pairing and many more. Check out their website for more info. More to come from me.. The Common is located on 9406 3rd Avenue

We ordered the chicken liver mousse, crispy potato tart, and burger. The chicken liver mousse is a must order and something I get every time I come here, whether it is this location or the Park Slope one. The mousse itself is rich, creamy, savory, and packed with umami. I just wish it came with something better on the side. The pita was a little underwhelming and was not warmed all the way through. The crispy potato tart was excellent. The potato was super crispy, and a bite with the salmon, egg, sour cream, and potato together was perfect. The lightly dressed arugula helped cut through the richness and made for a nice palate cleanser. The burger looked pretty simple when it arrived, but it ended up being surprisingly good. The patty was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Overall, a great neighborhood spot and one I would happily come back to.

Sandwiches include rosemary butter and ham, tuna fish, roast beef, burrata and prosciutto, and more. We tried the roast beef with chimichurri, a blueberry pastry, and pistachio croissant. All three items were high quality and delicious! Items are a bit pricey (those three items totaled about $37), but the quality definitely justifies the prices. All of the baked goods were beautiful and looked perfect. If you are in Greenpoint, I would recommend you stop by this bakery. Service: Staff are extremely friendly, pleasant, and welcoming. I was still deciding when it was my turn in line, and all staff members were patient and encouraged me to take my time. Ambiance: The bakery is small with about four counter seats along the window, but there are plenty of tables and chairs set up outside. There's nothing special about the ambiance, but it's a nice place to hang out and enjoy your sandwich or pastry. Overall, I would highly recommend this bakery!

LaRina Pastificio & Vino

My boyfriend scoped out LaRina ahead of our Brooklyn trip due to their chef competing on Top Chef…read more Needless to say, I can see why she was on Top Chef. Food was phenomenal! We started with the Crocchette and the Polpo. For entrees we got the Pappardelle Al Funghi and the Agnolotti Del Plin. For dessert we shared the Panna Cotta. All the food was excellent. Octopus was cooked perfectly. The Crocchettes were super flavorful. Both pasta dishes were divine! We actually switched plates halfway through the meal so we could enjoy both dishes. The Panna Cotta was the perfect ending. We made a reservation about a week in advance to be safe. I'm glad we did because the restaurant filled up quickly after opening. We reserved a table in the dining room table due to not knowing the what the patio situation was like. But it does look like their patio is enclosed for the colder months. The service was great. The food came out hot and fresh. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. I would absolutely return to LaRina the next time I'm visiting the city.

I am so glad we did as the whole table loved them! I also really liked the lasagna and bistecca. The agnolotti del pin was good, but there was so little of it! I wasn't even that hungry but had to beg my friends for some of their food after finishing mine because they saw how little my dish served. The smoked spaghetti was way too woody tasting in my opinion, too. Service was awesome - we may have been a bit rowdy as a group for our birthday girl, but our server was awesome and even brought out a tiramisu and ice cream for us. Thank you!!

Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal!

I've never had anything like that before, but they were crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. - The raw oysters and ceviche were also very good. My only complaint is that this place is quite expensive, but you do get what you pay for in terms of quality, and the portion size was decent. Our waiter was very friendly, and the ambiance inside was very nice, although it is a little tight.
