This was my first visit to Zen Press for brunch, and I ordered the Blue Moon smoothie as it comes…read moreon the menu. The smoothie was creamy, fruity, and visually one of the most striking drinks I've had in a while. The mango and banana gave it a naturally sweet flavor, while the coconut yogurt added a rich texture. I could still pick up some of the blue spirulina underneath everything, which kept it from tasting one-dimensional. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. It felt like a place where you could slow down for a few minutes instead of grabbing something and rushing back out the door. One thing I like about this smoothie is that it's easy to customize. After having it before, I've found that ordering it with light banana and no agave makes it taste lighter and lets the mango come through more. That said, the standard version was still enjoyable and is probably the best starting point if you've never tried it before. I'd definitely come back and try other drinks on the menu.

Not to mention, it felt so fairly-priced compared to most places in Old Town! We spent about $50 between the two of us, which included a 20% tip on our bill. Hard to beat in this area honestly, especially given the quality of the food and service. I look forward to coming back and am so glad to finally have an answer to "where do you recommend going for brunch in Old Town?" -- a question that I've historically struggled with when people asked!

We wanted to like this place, but it's a big fat meh for me. Place was dirty, the meals we ordered…read morewere okay, I got the pork verde and my wife got a biscuits, my dish was pretty good but the potatoes were too salty. The gravy for the biscuits was like warm. Otherwise the food was okay. Service was good, the host was especially friendly. What knocked this one down for us was the unprofessionalism of the staff. Servers sitting counting their cash while the host was busting her tail off, that wasn't cool. Busboy clearing the table has the buspan on the seat so my wife ended up sitting in a wet spot. Not good. We won't be back. Not worth the money

Which is why I was more than happy to pop in for lunch toast while on a recent biz trip to the area. This is a tiny little spot, and parking is all but impossible to find. But my efforts were richly rewarded with a hearty portion of their tasty tuna toast (served upon a custom wood board of course). It was fresh and tasty, and worth the long wait during the early afternoon rush. I also ordered a latte... which was just meh. But that's probably just the Seattle in me talking.

It isn't too too spacious in there, more for a grab and go. Luckily, there is a lot of outdoor seating here and around the mosaic area to eat at if you wanted to consume it right away. My favorite bowl is the nutella açaí bowl but you genuinely cannot go wrong with any other options. It is always loaded to the brim and the best bang for your buck. It's my favorite spot to hit up in the summer and I will definitely be back again.

Best açaí/smoothie bowl place by far!…read more It is slightly pricey but you pay for quality and service As far as smoothies go I've never been a fan of what they have to offer but let me tell you about this strawberry matcha lemonade smoothie. Y'all! This may be the best smoothie I've ever had. I almost don't event care that it cost $10-$14 The Del Rey location is definitely a favorite of mine you can sit outside with a cute scenic view instead of a parking lot. With that being said, there is no parking lot! I patronize this place periodically but after having this smoothie I see myself coming back more often

I ordered the Tuscan Kale wrap (kale, sweet potatoes, quinoa, broccoli, chickpeas, onions, basil pesto, hummus, cayenne, tortilla) in a gluten-free wrap, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful wraps I've ever had! The ingredients tasted super savory and fresh. I also tried the Coffee Date smoothie (cold brew coffee, almond milk, banana, peanut butter, raw cacao, dates), and it was delicious. The atmosphere is cute, clean, and trendy, with a really welcoming feel. It's small with limited seating, but it wasn't overcrowded at all. I went with a group of three and we sat outside--perfect setup for a warm day with shaded seating and umbrellas. Inside, there were people working on laptops, so it definitely seems like a great spot to hang out or work remotely. Service was quick, warm, and friendly. Overall, such a great find. I'd absolutely come back.

I'm never disappointed, whether I'm grabbing something to eat or just coming through for a drink. The customer service has always been excellent every time I've visited. One thing I really like is how the drinks are all named after cities in Prince George's County. It's a small detail, but it shows his pride in the community and how intentional he is about putting PG County on the map. What I respect even more is how he gives back. He mentors young men in the community and has even hired some of his former students. I love seeing a business owner who isn't just running a successful spot, but also pouring back into the community in meaningful ways.
