I thought it would be a first come, first serve basis but I was last served instead and didn't appreciate that. I made no fuss and just left with my smoothie because I'd rather share my experience through Yelp. I'm not sure if this is a black owned business franchise but I got rubbed the wrong way when the two people who came way after me got served first. I had a shift to get ready for and I waited patiently and ordered just to be treated with no consideration.

What a gem of a find! Not only do they have THE BEST non-dairy coffee smoothie drink thingy I've ever had, they are totally Celiac friendly so I am able to indulge in all of their treats (which are also super fire). To top it all off, the staff and owners are just darling and so sweet and welcoming. Amazing little spot!!

Everything was decent as far as the actual tapioca itself. 99.9% sure it's microwaved. Their boba balls are chewy and weren't undercooked, so that was key! The fruit they used tasted pretty fresh! This place has been here for a many moons so I knew it had to be at least okay. Glad I got to try it. However it was pretty pricey for one original size and large size were around 22.00. Chill vibes, friendly & prompt service and a good late night spot if you so happen to be in the area.

I ordered a toasted coconut truffle tea with boba. It was pretty bland, did not taste the truffle. The boba was chewy but tasted old. The staff was friendly and made my drink quickly. The drink was quite reasonably priced and I was surprised that the card reader did not prompt for a tip (this is quite unusual).

I ordered the salmon croissant sandwich and my friend had an egg one. We thought they were both delicious and filling. I'd love to try more options next time. I did notice they don't have a ton of meat options. Service was friendly and I like that you can pay on a portable machine while sitting. Plenty of free street parking.

Not sure if there's a lack of quality control or there are different individuals preparing the food at different shifts, but we have been receiving almost inedible plates. The Garlic Mushroom Scrambled Eggs had an off-putting smell and were scrambled hard - was not possible to enjoy these so these were pushed off to the side and tossed. The B.A.T. Tartine's arugula/mix was not fresh and had a slimy consistency, and they were also not dressed well. The lattes were served lukewarm, even though we requested them to be extra hot - they were also watered down. Staff are friendly, but the price point just does not justify the items you receive. No dice, Blue Kale. +avoid the scrambled eggs +slimy arugula +weak lattes

Me and my aunt got the cool cucumber energy tea, while my sister opted for the mint Oreo shake. At $6 per drink, it was cheap! I'm so used to paying at least $9 for such things. The cucumber was refreshing! So so good. The Oreo wasn't my thing but my sister really enjoyed it. The place was cute! Very modern. Also lots of pictures of weight loss transformations. Very cool! The ladies at the counter were nice and had our drinks our pretty quick. Would love to come back! One thing I'll add is that it's street parking. We had no trouble with that.

I was warmly greeted by the family and informed of the menu offerings. They have a huge menu with over 80+ items consisting of smoothies, teas, and meal replacement/protein shakes each available in a variety of flavors ranging from fruity to sweet dessert flavors. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in fitness or just looking for a refreshing drink.

Rounding the corner into the garage was a little precarious given two-way traffic, but they do have a mirror in the corner for precautions. There were elevators up a floor to the main store. We went in around seven, so the hot bar and salad bar were a bit on the slim pickings side. However, I was still able to make a decent enough mediterranean salad and select a main. Some of the roasted potatos were slightly under done, but otherwise everything was great. We didn't interact with a ton of staff since they have self checkout at this location, but everyone seemed relatively low-key and friendly. It wasn't at all busy, but it could be that we were shopping late on a week night. Despite being in the city, this location still felt plenty spacious and well stocked with produce, refrigerated, and shelf stable items.

I was able to call and check if they still have the Mango Yuzu Chantilly cake in the smaller size I…read morewas looking for. They do and they asked if I would like to put it on hold since it's the last one. That was conscientious of their customer and I did ask and picked it up an hour later. The cake itself is ok. It's not as packed or dense as some cakes, I wished it was even more lighter though. The internal filling had the definite yuzu taste but not the frosting. Frosting also taste sugary and too sweet for my taste. I was expecting something more delicate as it is a chantilly cake. Cashiers are kind and friendly!

Things I love about Awesome Juice bar: - they're open every…read moreday! - friendly staff and service - the acai bases are made to order, and the menu options are extensive, e.g. peanut butter acai, various fruits, etc. I originally thought for example the mango and peach were pieces of fruit on top of the acai base, but it's all blended together AND THEN you can add 4 toppings. A couple areas of opportunity: - the acai base could use more flavor. I didn't get much peach flavor coming through in mine. - the fill (amount of acai base in the bowl) seemed slightly low. The 16oz bowls start at $12.90, which is about $0.50-$1 less than other equivalent offerings in the North Shore. Parking is tight in this strip mall lot (by Subway/Jiffy Lube). Have an awesome day!

I've been wanting to try awesome juice bar since they opened. People that work in the area and live…read morein the area seem to swear by their smoothies and bowls . I finally made it to the juice bar and ordered a berry bowl. Their base has an amazing consistency! They make it right there when you order it so it's not premade and frozen. I would say, I think the base needed a little more flavor ...so next time, I'll probably see if they have some vanilla protein powder that they can blend into the base. The toppings I got were strawberries, homemade granola! (it's amazing! Pick this one for sure), blueberries and an almond drizzle. The almond drizzle is a lot more than just a drizzle, which I found appealing, but if you're looking for only a little bit of almond butter, you might want to say "go easy on the almond butter". Overall, I am thoroughly happy with my bowl.

I've been doing work around Argyle for many years, but somehow never got the chance to check out Bambu, so I'm really appreciative to Yelp for giving me an excuse to finally stop in and experience this cozy spot. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how good it smelled! I love that fresh, warm waffle aroma, it immediately made me want to try everything on the menu. The staff were all incredibly sweet and welcoming. The menu is huge, with plenty of options to choose from, but I decided to go with the mango smoothie with red boba, which was really delicious. I also thought the origami kit provided by Yelp was such a nice touch and a fun little addition to the experience. I'll definitely be back to try some of their waffle offerings because there were so many things on the menu that caught my attention. I really hope this business continues to thrive and do well in the neighborhood. Thanks again to Yelp for the opportunity to finally check out Bambu!
