I like that you can customize the toppings according to your preference. It's a little pricey, but this is one of those places where you get what you pay for. My newest obsessions are the new lattes with cashew milk. I tried the Ube Matcha Latte this weekend and it was amazing. The service is generally friendly. Would definitely recommend.

First thing I noticed when I walked into Pure Raw was that they were 100% cashless and that was to…read moreprioritize the safety of their team and community. Their fridges were not fully stocked and I did notice that they did not have a lot of the juices that other located offer. I am not sure if they sold out of them or they just never re-stocked them. I got a small (24 oz.) Coffee Crunch bowl for $13.95 and the portion was definitely enough to last m through the day. It had coffee (of course!), banana, honey, almond butter, cashew milk, and topped with granola, almonds, hemp and pumpkin seeds. In terms of the ambiance, there is not a lot of seating at this location. In fact, it is very small and more like a grab and go type thing. There is also very limited street parking as well.

Coincidentally, I will be going to the Playa Bowls in Burtonsville today for lunch! I love Playa…read moreBowls (see my 5-star review of the Burtonsville one). That's the only location within 10 miles of my home. The only other location of Playa Bowls I've been to was the Baltimore County one by Quarry Lake. Yesterday, I reviewed the out of town P pick in 2025 alphabet series. Representing the runner up to the out of town pick, P is for Playa Bowls. I visited this location on Friday, December 26. I had a deal for a free peppermint iced coffee with bowl purchase. I had visited my parents in PA for Christmas and was coming back into town. I saw this location wasn't too far off 695. I had never been to Quarry Lake and is a nice area. I was here for one of those weird very late lunch around 4 PM, but I wanted the deal and the timing was right. It was pretty dead around here as it was the day after Christmas. I parked in a parallel spot right in the front; they also have a parking lot in the back. Staff was nice. I paid for some strawberry bowl with peppermint to get the free seasonal iced coffee. They didn't have any issue getting the deal to work. I waited at one of their seats near the food station. This location is a lot bigger than the Burtonsville one. They made the bowl first, and then they said we're out of the flavoring for the coffee, so it'd just be a black coffee. I said that wasn't the same as what I wanted or paid for. They apologized saying that their shipments come in on Thursday, but it was Christmas so shipments didn't come. So, it made sense why they were out. But I think perhaps they could've been more prepared and gotten extra shipment on Thursday, 12/18. They did say I could switch out for a smoothie. I said I don't want a smoothie, I'm already having this fruity bowl. He said I could pick any drink I wanted. I got some juice cleanse drink that was normally $8.99. I figured that could be good for me plus I wanted to ideally get their most expensive tier drink in lieu of not getting the iced coffee. The bowl was delicious per normal. Fresh strawberries, banana, granola, chocolate, peppermint, etc. all great. As for the juice drink, it was some cayenne fruit juice. It was kind of weird, had a bit of a kick, not my cup of tea. I drank it, but really would've liked the iced coffee better. Thankfully, I had some water in the car to wash down the strange juice. So, I was kind of annoyed. They should've known and warned me before I paid. I'm not sure I would've gone with Playa Bowl if they had been out of the coffee; that the catalyst to go down there was the free iced coffee deal. In spite of that negative, like Burtonsville location, the bowls are great, staff is nice, and they did try to accommodate with free any drink.

The interior is decorated with plants, antique decor and China, the place smells good inside. Very minimal seating, 2 chairs and a small bench to sit on while you wait for your drinks.

We ordered the coffee crusher and a tropical smoothie with two flu shots. I'm not much of a healthy smoothie/juice person but I enjoyed my experience here! I'd much rather come here than support a chain smoothie place. If you're in the area definitely stop by corner juice bar for a wellness shot and a delicious smoothie!

The people who worked there were upbeat and personable, which always makes it a treat.

It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

Another employee gladly got me a cover and even bagged everything up for me. They have several options for bowls and 3 sizes to pick from. You choose your base, fruit toppings, and other toppings- granola is already included with all bowls. The acai base could have had a little more flavor but the consistency was PERFECT! It was freshly blended when I ordered, so it wasn't icy or hard like some other places I've been. The fruit toppings and granola were good and a really good portion. There is plenty of parking outside , and plenty of seating inside if you want to eat there. The music was upbeat, which added to the whole experience. When I left it looked like Gracie (who took my order) was on her break, but she still looked up and said goodbye to me by name! I definitely appreciated the amazing customer service experience!

He doesn't usually enjoy many healthy options, but he surprisingly enjoyed his smoothie. Shortly after tasting it, he decided to order the hazelnut butter toast, which he devoured halfway down the street--definitely a testament to its quality. We had the pleasure of meeting the store owner, Daye, who was very personable. She asked how we found the location, and of course, we mentioned Yelp. She informed us about another location in Ellicott City. It's great to know this place is both women-owned and Black-owned.
