I ordered the Island Bound and expected it to have a bit more sweetness since I chose from the tropical side of the menu. The customer service was friendly and fast, which I appreciated. As for the smoothie, it tasted like fresh fruit simply blended together and served in very natural and clean tasting. It wasn't giving dessert vibes like I expected, but it definitely seems like a better option for someone looking for a healthier smoothie choice.

Not only was the service sub-par, but the order was incorrect With Optimist Hall offering so many options, I would kindly suggest going other places instead, where you'll be treated with kindness and respect.

It's small and cozy inside and the place has old bones you can tell by the creaking wood floors. It feels like walking into an old timey little grocer, but this market is dedicated to natural produce and promoting good health. They have a lot of products from CBD, to vitamins, essential oils, and natural beauty products. They also have a lot of food items like organic snacks, juices, soups, and many more. What brings me back though is their little kitchen where they whip up smoothies, wraps, salads, and some delicious veggie burgers. They offer spicy black bean burgers, and most recently I tried a soy blend burger made with various nuts and other ingredients. These aren't the type of veggie burgers that try to mirror regular burgers, they have their own unique textures and tastes. Originally it was a bit out of my comfort zone as an avid meat lover but I love to try new things and I have to say they are quite delicious. As I start to learn more about ways to improve my health I wouldn't be surprised if I start to come in more regularly. I highly recommend coming in to browse. Even if it doesn't seem like your cup of tea, you're likely to be surprised by how many awesome things they have for sale! It also helps that the employees are super friendly and they usually play great tunes!

The bread was warm and crispy on the outside but warm on the inside. Both sandwiches were delicious and maybe the best bahn mi ive had in charlotte. We ordered the crispy quail for an appetizer since they were out of chicken wings when I went- the flavor of the quail is phenomenal truly. I might prefer the crispy quail at lang van a bit more but it's really not a huge difference. We also ordered the salty lemon juice- which is made with preserved lemons so there is a tangy funky flavor to it that is salty and a little briny and I LOVED it. It was such a unique type of lemonade and it paired so well with the fatty richness of the bahn mi. My partner wasn't a big fan though- so just know this might not be everyone's favorite drink. He stuck with the classic Thai tea- and we have tried probably dozens of thai teas from around the charlotte area and this one easily is maybe the best Thai tea. The color is a vibrant orange, it's creamy, the tea flavor is rich and not watered down in the slightest. Hands down recommend and I will be trying more items on their menu

I found it challenging at times because I needed to prepare meals further in advance and my family members who was forced along for the ride were supportive yet not overly excited about the meals. I purchased the two kitchen appliances that Samantha recommended and I have been really happy with them. I never actually got to the point where I felt like I had more energy which Nick, my CrossFit instructor, thinks is because I wasn't eating enough. I didn't lose a single pound until this morning. Yesterday was a celebration day for me after completing the challenge. I ended up eating a Pizza Hut pizza for lunch and a sandwich from a food truck for dinner while at an event last night, (don't judge me :)). Strangely, I lost 3 pounds by this morning. I was also happy to see that I dropped my time for the benchmark Diane from 4:08 to 3:13. While my mile run was 3-4 seconds longer, I felt pretty good and strong during it. I plan to continue watching what I eat and make this a lifestyle change vs just a 30-day challenge. Thanks Samantha!
