The inside is pretty spacious, and much larger than the West Hartford location. There are many tasty options to choose from. They have, smoothies, juices, açaí bowls and avocado toast. We went with the Acai Tropical Mango Bowl to share. Our bowl was ready pretty quickly! The açaí base was topped with fresh banana slices and strawberry slices, the mango appeared to be canned. It was all topped with coconut flakes, honey and bee pollen. I've never had bee pollen before. This was a tasty açaí bowl, I wish the mango was fresh, I wouldn't mind if they substituted the mango for another fresh fruit. The bee pollen was a bit bitter, an interesting flavor to a sweet bowl. I would stop by Robeks again when in the area.

DELICIOUS .... a HIDDEN gem!…read more Walking in, this place is very warm and inviting. Walls are filled with local art for sale, and lots of plants! Came here after stumbling on this place searching "vegan coffee shop", wow did they deliver! The staff is super friendly, and had great recommendations! There had to be at least 5 vegan options, options that were not just tofu! For those not vegan, like myself, plenty of yummy options with a flare. Get two of the vegan peanut butter brownie, it's well worth it! Found pricing to be fair, look forward to trying the coffee next time.

We received our food and drinks quickly. We ordered two iced strawberry matcha lattes. Unfortunately, they were pretty terrible and borderline undrinkable. I don't doubt that their coffee is good, but this was disappointing. The color was not great, it had no actual matcha flavor, and not nearly sweetened enough (even with the strawberry syrup). It pretty much tasted like chalky water with strawberry seeds. I ordered the turkey bacon, egg, Gouda cheese with spinach on a multigrain roll. I enjoyed it, and both the turkey and eggs were cooked well. I feel like there wasn't enough cheese, but maybe that's just me. However, the sandwich was kind of dry and I had to ask for ketchup so I could just have some moisture. My partner ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich. The chicken didn't have much flavor, but the sauce was good.

He texted his wife that it was so good, now she wanted two beef patties lol. I brought some rose water. And my son got 2 jerk chickens sauce. All in all I had a pleasant experience and Patrice was awesome nothing but good energy. Oh did I tell you she gave a us a sample shot of the peanut punch smoothie. It was delicious and refreshing.

Let's get August ready to go right with a juice to beat the heat!…read more I had time this morning between trains, so I looked up local places that were open. This was the second of two stops, the first being that bagel place just a few doors down. And judging by the hours posted, I feel like this is the place I'm going to return to plenty of times if I need a juice bar in South Norwalk, especially since I come to this part of South Norwalk somewhat frequently. It's almost like another home away from home for me with how long my commutes are to and from work. You can any of their signature mixes, or build your own. I decided on building my own, going with a base of apple juice, adding in orange, pineapple, banana, and blackberry for additional fruits, and then got two boosts. These two boosts were adaptogens and the passionfruit guava orange Halloway electrolytes. It was a bit of a wait, but not too long. Maybe about 10'ish minutes? But when I got my drink, I was given a little extra in addition to the cup I ordered. I sampled half of the extra portion in front of the worker who prepared my drink. My goodness was this a great juice to kick off August! It was a slight bit pricey, but it not too bad, and you get what you pay for. The interior's a bit on the dark side, but I kinda like it like that. It gives off that nonchalant, hangout vibe that I've come to appreciate. More importantly, space was clean, and there is a place to sit down if you are looking to escape the weather or rest your legs a bit. And yes, I WILL be returning here! Though I don't encourage irresponsible gambling and never will, you can bet whatever you wish on my returning to this place.
