57. Fahfahena Limeade Smoothie
Kevin K.

Fahfakhina or Araisy. So yeah, have you ever tried to stress test the thin line between smoothie and shake? There's always this thin vaneer of "healthiness" hidden behind a smoothie, like if you toss an apple, a banana, 2 raw eggs, whey protein powder and peanut butter into a blender with a scoop of ice, somehow the contents of the dasher is now automatically healthy, and you'll get swol/ripped if you pound 3 a day, deadlift 230 on the press, and spend 3 hours at the gym. Well, the problem here is that you can easily spend 20 minutes working out and 2 hours 40 minutes posing, and then ingest almost 1000 calories on the wrong thing (whipped cream + ice cream + mango syrup). Me, I just go directly to the jugular, ignore the healthy swol muscleboy nonsense and go for the stuff that I like. And what do I like? Araisy. What's an Araisy? It's an Arab milkshake/smoothie that contains fruits and nuts, commonly served in places like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen or the UAE. Since I frequent Arab neighborhoods like the Upper Steinway section of Astoria and/or Bay Ridge, it's one of those things that I have an affinity for - of course, most coffee joints have a variant of that (like Selab served at Elkayam in Astoria), as does most good seafood places (Sabry's have their cocktail), but you know which version I like? The one at Hemo's. What do they have? Cold mango yogurt, chopped apples and mango, peanuts, dried dates and raisins, generously annointed with berry syrup. How much is it? 20 oz is about 7 bucks as of Summer 2022. Why should you have it here? Eeeh, I had it at other places, and they are either runny, flavorless not cold, doesn't have much nuts and fruits, or a combination of all 4. You want it to be thick, flavorful, cold with plenty of fixins'? Get it at Hemos. You know what's great? Walking along Park Slope, 3rd or 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge, or Upper Steinway in Astoria with an Araisy in your hand (yes, they have multiple locations). You know what's even better? Pay 2 dollars extra and spring for the Fahfakhina - which is an Araisy but with ice cream added. Know what's even better than that? The Hemo Special. A halal hamburger (a bit thin on the patty), fries and a freaking Araisy for 14 bucks (not available at Park Slope). Yeah, you can certainly give their juices and crazy sandwiches a try, or go next door for their coffee. Me? Araisy or Fahfakhina. Always.

(I'm going to update and preface my review by stating that Hemo's Spot spinach pies are the best I've had in my entire life. Loaded with spinach and so lemony. And that dough! Very delicious). Popular corner spot on 5th Avenue that has undergone a name change (possibly new owners). Whenever in the area, I drop in to have some kind of beverage, whether hot or cold. In addition to tea, coffee, smoothies and juices, it seems they've expanded with more food choices. Burgers and fries seemed to be the go to lunch today, but there were many Middle Eastern delights (my preference) such as spinach pies and a variety of breads--cheese, meat and my favorite, Za'atar loaded with all those delicious spices. It smelled delightful in there. I also saw Medjool dates and snacks/desserts available for purchase. Some necessary information: ample seating, restrooms, credit cards accepted (you'll be charged tax) and friendly/helpful staff. I ordered the #97 juice, super protein, which was kale, apple, pineapple and cucumber. Reasonably priced at $5 for 16 ounces. I also took home spinach pies and a Za'atar bread ($3 a piece). I like Hemo's Spot. Quick, delicious, clean and hits the spot for a craving (pun intended).

There are two Hemo's - one is a juice bar/cafe, and it's next door to their other spot which is... also a cafe, but with more food? Honestly, not sure. I just wanted coffee so I stopped in the smaller one (it's on 5th and not on the corner). They have lots of baked snacks, spices you can buy by weight, and of course, coffee. Got a latte, and it was pretty damn good.

This green juice: Lime, Kiwi, Apples, Ginger   Addictive!

So many options, healthy and comfort food. Had Chai here too on a rainy day, mm A welcoming place, attracts so many different types of people. I find it as a gem of a place to get work done with wifi, couches, and nourishment.

3arsi drink: mango smoothie with a syrup, don't know what it is but tastes so good.

Best fresh juices at a great price. Service is always quick and pain free. Thankfully haven't encounter a long wait.

The food and drinks is amazing here, the only thing i dislike is the service, they need to be quicker in assisting customers!
