Overall good Acai bowl joint located directly across Spruce Street from the Wharton campus side…read more Pretty decent size inside with plenty of tables and seats (about 40 seats inside). Prices however are on the high side around $16-$17 for a large acai bowl. Service was fast and the order was correct--which is good because many acai places are unbelievably slow at making acai bowls. Here's a positive sign of a well frozen acai bowl--my granola at the bottom remained crunchy and not soggy the entire time.

You never know if you will be asked to use cash or your card. The service is still good overall and the bowls/smoothies are still fresh and tasty. I just feel like something is off but don't let my weird vibes discourage you from checking out this place!! It's worth a shot!

It was really interesting to be able to try two Tea Do Philly locations in the span of two days,…read morebut good news, guys. We found this one to be better than the one in Chinatown! So fascinating. I thought I was going to have to rough it out through another green coconut drink in order to compare these two locations properly, but it turns out this location doesn't even have green coconut as an option (which is what I got at the other location- spoiler, I would not recommend)! This was the first green flag, and it only got better from there. Even though I love special, unique drinks as much as the next person, I think you gotta have that good old fashioned bubble tea staple store that just serves everything all in one place. I'm talking whatever you're craving, whatever flavors you want at any given point in time, they'll have it. And Tea Do is just that: their menu is huge and extensive, and you're bound to find something that you feel like having. We ordered (rating): Sakura Rose Milk Tea with Boba (3.7/5), The Grasshopper (3.5/5), The Hulk (4/5), Oolong Milk Tea with Boba (4.2/5), Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba (5/5) I got their sakura rose milk tea which was one of their recommended drinks. I wouldn't say I get rose milk teas a lot, but I'd say this was one of the better ones I've had because both the rose and the tea parts of the drink stood out on their own! Some years ago I compared components of boba drinks to main and side characters, so I am thrilled that we have two main characters here. On the other end, though, this tea did lean more watery rather than creamy. What did stay consistent across the two stores was the boba, which comes a bit softer than our ideal texture, but the sweetness of the sugar that they must have steeped these boba in definitely shined through. I wouldn't say they tasted like brown sugar boba, but my sister says that they did; point being that you'll get some kind of sugary taste and isn't that all you really need to know?

Once in while, an açaí bowl sounds really good. It's like the healthier alternative to ice cream…read more For lunch today, I made my way over to Pressed Juicery to snag a plant-based bowl. The selection of snacks at the register is very carefully curated. Mostly all-natural/clean on-the-go foods, with a few recognizable brands found at Whole Foods. I love that they partnered with Cymbiotika, too. The wellness aspect of the store truly impressed me. I also want to note how clean it was inside. I got a quick "hello" from the employee at the front, but he appeared to be packing an online order, and was the only associate in the store. I perused the menu until he was ready to assist. I ordered the açaí power bowl. Everything was cold and fresh - the granola added a nice amount of crunch and the banana mixed in the açaí was my favorite part. I added a pinch of cinnamon when I got back to my desk. Great spot to pick up healthy snacks and juices for those busier days! I definitely want to stop in again for a few of the superfood-infused shots.

The entire menu is vegan friendly and tastes incredible. I got a vegan chicken spicy sandwich and sweet potato fries and completely crushed the meal in half an hour because it was so good. I ordered a juice to accompany my meal, it was tart yet sweet. A nice balance. If you have an insatiable sweet tooth like myself, I also would get a milkshake next time. Luckily, my friend let me try hers and as someone with a dairy sensitivity- it was incredible and you can't even tell it's nondairy. this will definitely be my new veggie junk food spot. The vibes are chill it's kind of cafe style. The university city location will have a lot of college students of course being right by UPenn! But if you are open to trying vegetarian foods or are vegan / vegetarian this is worth it. And not badly priced either, my whole meal with tax and tip was roughly $20.

The egg noodles are the stand out and are al dente. Lots of toppings like kale and cilantro included. I think the sauces also aren't afraid to taste strong and powerful. However the salad options were pretty bland and the one time I got them I was disappointed. I like the online ordering a lot but it works so well that it gets chaotic at lunchtime and at time messy in the seating areas for lunch. Get around the wait by ordering ahead of time.

Service is always prompt and still uses a covid-era mobile ordering/QR system that actually works pretty well. Vegeterian combo is huge, and paired with an additional entree (we like the tofu or okra wat) is more than enough for 2-3 people. All items are tasty and spicy. Decor is dated and minimal and that is 100% ok! Be sure to ask for awaze if you want it even spicier.

This place has some similarities to others I've been but also has some new concept ones as well. Came here one day with my kids and wife. She had her favorite of milk tea with Oreo foam. She ordered hers without sugar and I thought it was good, but for me, I would get it normal. My kids went for some fruity drinks (one was a grapefruit and I forget the other). The grapefruit was delicious. It came with a slice of grapefruit inside to make it look nice. This is something I haven't really seen at many other places before. Location is nice for people that live or work in center city, but the traffic around here is horrendous.
