Beyond your standard avocado or ricotta toast, we tried the goat cheese with mixed berries and lemon toast that was phenomenal as well as the caprese both offered on sourdough. A few days later I went back to get some work done in this tranquil aesthetic setting, and tried the Cobb salad that was delicious as well. I also adored the fact that they promote local artisans gift items such as eucalyptus bundles and candles, as well as supporting local puppy rescue missions efforts in bringing dogs in for potential adoptions.

I love trying healthy options and I'll be adding this to my list.

Everything came out quickly. My husband got an oatmeal protein bowl and a wrap as well. It was $57 for both of us. The store was very clean and smelled great when we walked in. The staff was also very friendly. I would definitely come back here.

Had to wait on the manager to come back from five below while on shift to make our order because…read morethe only other employee was not trained and didn't, "know how to make smoothies". After the order was completed saw a promotion and showed proof of eligibility and was not rewarded and said pretty much better luck next time. Highly don't get your time wasted.

I've enjoyed ordering their Chai shake and my husband has enjoyed their brown sugar latte. The employees are very nice and we're able to give our order and get our drinks fairly quickly. Overall, a nice alternative to other coffee places around and I would recommend this location.

They have a white chocolate raspberry specialty drink we absolutely fell in love with. We also got the mazapan latte which was delicious. Definitely our new coffee spot. The owner was telling us how they discover new recipes and even found their coffee beans. They have chess there to play while you enjoy your coffee and plants that make it feel homey. They even have coffee and refreshers premade and ready to go! I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back shortly.

We were in the area and decided to try this place out. It's…read morea cute place with tables inside. If it's your first time they offer a complimentary cafecito cubano. We are familiar with Cuban coffee from having it up north and in Miami. We had Cafe Bombón, tres leches cake, guava pastry and lemon cake. The cafecito cubano was good and the Cafe Bombón was good. The only thing we thought would have been better is to serve the Cafe Bombom in a glass cup/glass. Presentation sometimes is important and serving it in a plastic cup kinda takes away from it. The tres leche cake was good, the guava pastry was not. Lacked the filling and then it was wrapped in plastic so the humidity made it most. These guava pastries are meant to be flaky and with more guava. The service was good and staff were nice. May come back for coffee.

Oh yeah, and there's a drive thru! My nits were that they were out of most of the things we tried to order (but luckily they had so many good options that we all chose our next favorite options), and they didn't have enough lunch menus on hand, so we were directed to their facebook page to see what we could order (even though most options weren't available).

Always such a welcoming and warm environment, the absolute sweetest baristas, and just a place that you want to stay awhile. Today I just got a sweet tea and their garlic Parmesan fries. The tea was great (and had free refills in house) and the fries were absolutely AMAZING! They have a drive thru now so this will definitely continue to be my go to in the J-Ville area

I'm not from this town, but I've gone to the Smoothie King three times since I've been working here…read morelocally. I've never had a smoothie where the employee recommends I add bananas to "thicken" the smoothie before I even finish ordering, like she knew it was going to be just awful. This was a coffee high protein specifically, so I rejected the recommendation. I essentially invested in my third 13 dollar cup of hotel coffee. Watery, and not worth it. It tastes like they use half the ingredients, and double the ice. I went back around the drive-through because this is the third time (each smoothie a watery version of what every other smoothie king offers) I've had an awful shake. I was told they could remake it, but nothing would change about the smoothie. They can't make it better, only over again. Sigh. I, also, couldn't pay for extras add-ons and have them re-blend it and try make it edible, or at least give it a flavor. I was essentially stuck with another flop. I won't be doing that again. Times are hard, I understand, but they're hard for everyone... at least make my overpriced shake worth the overhead.

I get the same smoothie everytime and it's never consisten. I get the Hulk Espresso. I usually taste little nuts from ice cream but nothing. I can't even finish my drink.

The lady working the desk was quick and nice, she let us know all the syrup flavors they had for the protein coffees. The protein coffee taste more of chocolate protein and less coffee taste.

Finally ate here today. As I entered there was only a couple other patrons. No waiting! The…read moregentleman behind the counter walked me through the process and explained everything to me. You can choose a bowl, a wrap, or a pita. They do offer sandwiches and other items as well. I decided on a bowl. I chose yellow rice instead of quinoa. I was able to have a few small samples to help make a decision. I also had lamb, chicken, garbanzo beans, spinach, three different hummus (feta, traditional, roasted eggplant), lettuce, tomato, feta, cucumbers, naan, and tzatziki over the top. I also decided to have a lemonade. They have several different lemonades to choose from and it's bottomless if you're dining in. I added so many items to the bowl the price was fairly high, but worth it. There's plenty of seating inside and it's a nice dining room. Very simple, but comfortable. I sat and enjoyed my bowl with pomegranate lemonade. Everything was delicious. I'm happy that I finally tried The Hummus Republic. I will definitely eat here again. Recommend giving it a try.

I considered ordering online but dropped by in person only to find a single kiosk for ordering with…read morethe same options and without some of the special deals advertised on the website, so there really isn't any reason not to order online. I got a pretty full bowl. I noted that the kale they had out had a number of dubious leaves in it, but the person picked around them to get me some nice green kale (if I were them I'd just dump the wilted ones). Vegetarian options were ample at all levels of the ordering process and indeed the only non-vegan component i ended up with was some feta. It was a salty and tasty bowl; oddly the salad greens were the only thing I got less of than expected. I also said what the heck and got what they call a signature tahini shake, which was absurdly filling to the point that I pretty much skipped a meal. Okay if that's what you want. Overall, not perfect but a quality place with options for most diets.
