    Açaí bowl-- ocean breeze
    Dustin C.

    Great potential, just lacked execution. We went in for smoothies and only two of us ordered smoothies. Both were disappointed in how they tasted, pretty bland. As far as the açaí bowls, despite the açaí base being a little runny, they tasted great and worth going back for! The peach açaí bowl was our daughter's favorite! Service was a little slow, yet they had a ton of workers. The inside tables were great to be able to sit up high and chat. For a smaller restaurant, seemed to have ample amount of seats indoors.

    This was a cute local smoothie place nearby that we stopped by multiple times during our trip. The first time we came here, I tried the Blueberry Bliss (almond milk, blueberries, banana, vanilla whey, vanilla yogurt, and almond butter) with added spinach, and it was delicious. After that, I kept trying other smoothies like the Island Smoothie Power Up and The Green Room, but they were all flavorless -- almost as if they had been made with unripe fruit. The consistency was also really icy and not creamy at all, even though there was a banana in it. The service is great though and the menu here will definitely give you some inspiration of smoothies that you could try recreating at home.

    This place is a family vacation favorite! We love their acai bowls and smoothies. If you grab a coupon book from Tim Buck II plaza, you can get a free cold brew with a purchase of an acai bowl. The bowls are refreshing with lots of fresh fruits and they can make substitutions. I think the price is a bit high for the bowls given the portion size, but these things are always expensive. It's a good cool summertime treat. There's a few tables of seating inside and a cute bench and neon sign outside to sit and take pictures. My main gripe with the place is their hours - they close at 3pm every day! We tried to go twice after 3pm, not realizing that it was closed already. It would have been a perfect after-beach kind of treat had they been open.

    Lots of great healthy options for breakfast, snacks, or lunch. Really good smoothies!!!

    "Hangover smoothie"

    Visited this place several times while on vacation and it didn't disappoint. The açaí bowls were delicious and there was plenty of variety. We also tried the smoothies and even asked if they recommended anything for a hangover and the owner instantly gave us a suggestion which did the trick for our friend. I also tired the avocado toast which was fresh and filling! Overall nothing we ever ordered disappointed, staff was friendly and the vibe was welcoming! Highly recommend

    Sunset Açaí Bowl

    Absolutely delicious açaí bowls and smoothies. I got the Sunset bowl and my daughter the strawberry banana smoothie. Both were amazing. The bowl was filling and like eating desert for breakfast. Very cute atmosphere and friendly staff

    Two smoothies, and local celebrity chef Jordan Cohen (well known for his vegetarian specialty dishes).

    Located next to Harris Teeter, so you may as well grab a smoothie after your grocery run. Anyways.... Do you want a refreshing, healthy way to start your day amongst a sea of beer and gluttonous beach food? Do you enjoy a colorful açaí bowl? Do you want a fresh, veggie wrap with homemade hummus? If you answered yes to any of these, come to Island Smoothie. We went twice during our recent beach trip and enjoyed the island powerup smoothie, blueberry orange mango, and a unique cinnamon, espresso, and banana smoothie, as well as above mentioned veggie wrap (my vegetarian friend was raving about it for days). The owner grew up coming to Corolla and his family built their place in the 1970s. He lives here full time and was SO genuine with recommendations and nice conversation. LOVE this place!

    Great little place for a healthier option lunch. So many places in Corolla that are all about the bread. My smoothie, king of the melons, was good but a bit thick, really good flavor though. This sandwich though! Chipotle chicken club, served on a pita with a chipotle aioli was so good! The girl at the front counter was amazing. Asked a few questions and was more than happy to answer and give advice. Very pleasant experience overall. Only reason it was a five star review was due to the lack of seating options. We kind of feel on top of each other in the place but it's understandable that that can't be helped sometime.

    This coffee shop is tucked back in a shopping center near the rental home where we are staying in…read moreCorolla. Location is very convenient but if it weren't for a sign on the main road pointing "coffee" I would drive by and miss this place. (It's not visible from the road.) Cute interior, with some comfy chairs and a few tables. There are a few seats outside as well. In addition to the coffee and food Opperm mugs, there was a case of jewelry inside, with some jewelry for sale. And some cute coffee shop mugs with perfectly-sized handles, really wanted one but didn't want to spend $38, the price for one mug. I ordered a cappuccino with an extra shot of espresso. It was the perfect temp and tasted great. Service was quick... there were a few customers in the shop when we arrived, and others walking in as we were leaving.

    Always make a point to come here when we visit Corolla. This time didn't disappoint…read more Drinks were good. Heard the owner tell someone they'd fix their drink - not sure if it happened but her willingness to do so by just overhearing someone was awesome. It was busy too which is great to see with small businesses. Will be back next year
