Has a surprisingly varied menu. There's empanadas at lunch if wanting hot stuff. Because it was breakfast we got some of the smoothies and bowls. It's about $7 for a smoothie which isn't that bad for around here. The one I got was the Kale Colada Smoothie. It's green. This is made with bananas, coconut, kale, pineapple, and spinach. It's about $9 for bowls. We got a couple of these. Best one was the Sunny Bowl. This is made with acerola, apple juice, apples, bananas, and mangos. This is topped with apples, bananas, coconut flakes, granola, honey which I left off, and mangos. Good but it just wasn't enough. It's small portions for the prices. The fruit is fresh though, and at lunch they have empanadas, including a few okay for vegans and vegetarians.

I ordered the island greens smoothie which had pie apple, kale, spinach, and other fruits. They have one size and it's quite big!

They had other delicious looking smoothies if you are looking for other smoothies that are sweeter or want to add protein. I will definitely be checking this place out again especially after a hard gym session.

There also is no way to contact the company, just the reps working in the store. I am still hungry, $110 poorer, and extremely annoyed.

Purple Sea Moss ingredients: wildcrafted sea moss, pitaya, reverse osmosis H2O, local honey, camu camu, ceylon cinnamon, lemon It had a nutrition value of 75 cals * 17g carbs * 2g fiber * 13g sugar * 1g protein * 0g fat Excited to sample the 90+ minerals; supports gut health, thyroid + immunity. All in all, I would come back and try more. I was happy to see that some of the pressed juice are similar to the ones I make at home. Plus of this location is ample parking.

It's a very cute idea and from walking in you could see that the employee was making each drink with fresh fruit and vegetables - I got the green line express and my friend got the purple line. we both loved our drinks and added the vanilla protein. I am about 85% sure that they forgot the protein in my green smoothie. - here's the thing. there was one woman working there who was running all over the place while talking loudly on FaceTime. she then plugged her phone in in the middle of the room and had her FaceTime on max volume. we waited as the only people in the place for about 10 minutes and she just like did random things. - there were boxes everywhere and it just seemed like they were in the middle of moving out? there were two stools nowhere near the counter on the side (that was where her phone was blasting) it was a total mess and definitely not passing any cleanly tests.... - so yes, tasty and yes, there's potential. definitely not any poison in the drinks, but?!? what's happening!?

BAMBU on North Broadway completely exceeded my expectations. From the outside it looks casual and…read moreunassuming, but once you step inside, there's a lively, colorful energy that instantly lifts your mood. It's the kind of place that feels welcoming whether you're meeting friends for a relaxed dinner or just stopping in because you're craving something flavorful and different. The menu is what really makes this place stand out. There's a creative mix of Vietnamese-inspired dishes and modern fusion options, and everything tastes intentional. The ingredients are fresh, the herbs are vibrant, and the flavors are layered without feeling heavy. I appreciated how balanced everything was -- nothing overly greasy or overwhelming, just clean, bright flavors that keep you going back for another bite. Even the presentation shows care, which adds to the overall experience. The drink selection is just as impressive. Whether you're in the mood for something refreshing and fruity or a more classic option, they've clearly put thought into crafting beverages that complement the food. It's not just an afterthought -- it's part of the experience. Service was another highlight. The staff were genuinely friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to offer recommendations when I asked. They checked in often enough to make sure everything was perfect but never hovered or rushed us. That balance is rare and really appreciated. Overall, BAMBU delivers more than just a meal -- it delivers a full experience. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, solid drinks, and attentive service. I'll absolutely be back, and I'll be bringing friends next time.

My friend loves the pandan waffles and always wants to come here for it when she visits.
