I ordered the Chunky Monkey Smoothie (banana, peanut butter, chocolate, and whole milk).

Lotus Cafe is one of our go-to spots, especially after a walk around the area. The food always…read morefeels so clean, fresh, and nourishing. I almost always order the Nirvana burrito and it never disappoints, it's become my favorite. I've also tried their tofu breakfast burrito and veggie burger, and both were just as good, flavorful, satisfying, and still light. One thing I really appreciate is that they have great options for everyone. I'm vegetarian but my husband isn't, and we both find plenty we love here. I've even brought my parents a few times and it's always a hit. The space has plenty of seating and there's usually good parking nearby, which makes it an easy, relaxed stop. The staff are friendly and the food typically comes out pretty quickly too. Overall, just a consistently great spot with healthy, delicious options. I always enjoy coming here.

For a Sunday lunch, we enjoyed enchiladas, sandwiches, soup, huevos rancheros, and an acai smoothie. Service is with a smile and fairly prompt.

Outdoor seating are available. There is no bathroom. We parked in the residential area. The menu includes; açai bowls, smoothies, latte, coffee, specialty lattes, gold brews, retail coffee,matcha, seasonal drinks, tea. In addition to their fresh bakery. We ordered; -Monkey business Matcha 5/5 It's coconut syrup and banana cold foam. The drink had unique taste, with adequate sweetness, rich flavor and creaminess. -Banana bread latte 5/5 Brown sugar, banana cream and foam, nutmeg and cinnamon. The drink was refreshing. The mixture of the creamy banana and the brown sugar gave the drink a unique and rich flavor -Coconut Caramel cookie 5/5 My goodness! That was indulgent, buttery,and had the perfect texture. -Banana Nutella muffins 5/5 The muffin was moist and rich in banana flavor then the center had rich and gooey chocolate. It was heavenly! The staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. The service was really fast. Definitely, I will be back to try their açai bowls and order more drinks.

I would say the highlight here is the smoothie menu. You can turn any of them into a bowl and add in a variety of extras to make it your own. The smoothie bowls are enormous and come with a ton of granola, a whole banana and all the other fruit and toppings. The savory breakfast were not bad either, but the açai bowl is what would keep me coming back. The açai is perfectly sweet, nice and tangy and feels pretty thick and creamy - yum!

I ordered the tuna sandwich this time off their lunch menu and the very berry smoothie. I wanted something lighter and the sandwich was perfect and felt really healthy and nutritious. The smoothie was also so refreshing, I love that they don't add any extra sweeteners in theirs. Service was pretty quick, food came out almost immediately but the smoothie took a bit longer.

Customer service is on point! Thank you so much for being understanding about my sweetener concerns…read more- recently found out my GI is sensitive to a lot of sweeteners even honey. I do ok w fruit besides the point. The unsweetened açaí's consistency is not the same as the sweetened one (which is soft serve style but still very rich). Good açaí should be rich in color - not creamy looking- this place has good acai. My problem is just the consistency and the amount of toppings. Either the toppings are not enough - or way too much for the proportions compared to photos on their menu. They listened to my feedback which is great! And hopefully will start to quality control each other going forward- but either way I know they have great management and customer service, and appreciate their resolution style.

I liked how sweet it was, but now I prefer getting it half sweet. The signature drink is the Best Drink Ever. It is an Americano made with their house vanilla power, which gets mixed in with the espresso shots. It makes the drink creamier, but it still feels lighter than a latte. Over the past year, they have been rolling out a ton of different flavored cold foams. My personal favorited was a blue berry cold foam, but they had a coconut cold foam that tasted light summer. Lately I've been getting the Caramel Best Drink Ever. If it's your first time here, you can't go wrong with it. Better Buzz also has some solid food options. I like Better Breakfast Sandwich and it comes on a pretzel bun. If I am getting food, I almost always order the OG Açaí Bowl. It's great after a long run or a hot day at the beach.
