A must go for super yummy smoothies and juice! The owner here is incredible and super sweet. I…read moreusually prefer to make my own smoothies at home, but I'm always excited to treat myself at this place. The Green Goddess My favorite drink on the menu! I always dream about how good it is. I will add it tasted a little different today versus the three previous times I've gotten it (which I liked more), but it's still good! Seafood Salad I wanted more from this. I was excited to try this vegan salad because I've had a lot of yummy vegan seafood creations. Unfortunately, this one didn't make the cut. I wanted the heart of palm to be prepared a little differently and think I was hoping for seaweed inside.

Stopped in to grab an early lunch, which ended up being a small Ebony Island Hangover (for…read morehydration) and the VLT (vegan bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich. While both were delicious and made of quality ingredients, $18.03 is a lot to pay for a small juice and a tiny sandwich. For that reason, Ms. Bee's won't likely be a place I'll frequent, but it is a great spot for when you want good, whole food and friendly, warm service.

I had such a good experience here and honestly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out…read more From the beginning, everyone was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. You can tell that they actually care about their customers and want people to leave happy, not just make a quick sale. Everything was handled professionally, and the service was great from start to finish. I really appreciated how comfortable and respected I felt the whole time. The quality was also much better than I expected, and everything looked and felt great. It's not often that you find a place where the service, quality, and overall experience all come together like this. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good service and a positive experience. I'm very happy that I came here, and I will absolutely be coming back again. Thank you to everyone who helped make my experience such a good one!

My first visit to the Beet Box will not be my last. I tried the Matcha Smoothie on this visit & it…read morewas refreshing & creamy. The taste was smooth with just a kick of spicy. I would definitely order it again. I also ordered a Beetroot Smoothie for my husband & hopefully he will get to try it later this week. I put it in my freezer so I will see how it stands up flavor wise to being frozen. As for food, I ordered the Jerk Chicken wrap. It was tasty. The chicken was tender & flavorful. It was moderate level spicy & the veggies in the wrap complemented the flavor of the chicken well. I look forward to returning to The Beet Box and trying more menu options. I highly recommend trying their options if you enjoy healthy & flavorful food & smoothie choices.

Unfortunately, smoothie shops do not last in the West End for whatever reason. It's been sad to…read moresee Smoothie King go (after many years) & Jamba Juice left after a while. I was excited to see The Smoothie Spot open up. The first time I tried to visit in the middle of a weekday, they were closed, with no sign explaining why. I had gone out of my way to go there on my lunch break. Anyway, I went on another weekday. I found the interior to be very dark and having old booths. The young employee was not very friendly. I tried the peanut butter and banana smoothie. I have to say, it WAS DELICIOUS. I loved that it had cinnamon in it. I'm sure I will go back, but I really think they need to make the interior (and employees) more inviting if they want to survive.

Location: *new location on Main Street has great parking!! The new spot is spacious & inviting, and it's stiffer versatile! I feel good supporting because you're getting really good quality stuff! The owner, Ryan, is really intentional about the product he provides, having started this business while supporting his amazing Mom through a cancer diagnosis. His staff is always attentive and great at answering any questions you have about the juice! I highly recommend the Firefighter & The Beet Drop because you need ginger and beets (respectively) in your life at least once a week. Short story time: once upon a time I hated beets. The flavor & smell, alone were enough to make me gag. I tried the Beet Drop. I now love beets. It's really good because Ryan found a way to put the best, natural ingredients together a minimize beet's tendency to overpower a dish. Once you try the juice, you'll be back for more.

Juice life is run by a father, a local, a man who loves his community and health and wellness. Juice life has a great array of fresh pressed juices made by hand daily. The price is amazing and just knowing you are getting fresh juice made with your health in mind, I'd pay more. I picked up my top three favs (liquid gold, the fire fighter and top of the morning). I hear on the weekends they have a vegan breakfast sandwich to die for, I haven't been able to put my hands on it quite yet, but I will be trying this weekend.

My friend was visiting from DC for the first time and got the passionfruit sorbet. She took one bite and said it brought her right back to when she was in Brazil.

A respectable amount of flavor choices and most you don't see everywhere-I.e Lavender Honeycomb, Triple-berry Cobbler, and Key Lime Pie to name a few. Weren't feeling adventurous so we went with a chocolate truffle/coffee and a cookie dough/chocolate truffle-both small. Intense chocolate and truffle flavors and cookie dough was enjoyed also-delicious end to a meal and it paired nicely with the hot day. Friendly and engaged people behind the counter. Turns out Scoops is #26 on Yelps Top Ice Cream Shops list. We agree!

They have a 8 people maximum capacity. There is a slim bar along the windows for people to stand and eat, but other than that, there are no chairs. It is a small arroom so don't expect to stay long. Food: the ice cream was very creamy and delicious! I loved the special flavors they had! And they change the flavors every now and then! So it's fun to try them all. Bathroom: there is no restroom. Price: I thought it was pretty good for the amount you get! It isn't on the cheap side, but you do get a large serving! Service: our server was very patient and nice! He gave us a few samples because I couldn't decide which flavor I liked (like any typical girl haha)

The people are sooooooo nice and the services that I've received is great (and friendly). This may not be too helpful but I'm seriously going to try their whole menu. I got their (featured) spicy chicken the first time and it was great. It came with a refreshing starter soup and the food is a good size. The rice is fresh and the sauces...I poured the whole thing onto the dish haha. The chicken is tender and juicy - I got their fried chicken the two times I've gotten them and it had the perfect crunch to it. I'm def ordering their poach chicken next time (mainly because it is similar to one of my childhood dishes). ***it does come with cilantro so for those who don't like it, be sure to ask for it to not be included. Oh!- when I saw that they had the sticky rice mango dessert...it was a must get for me. It was perfect for the summer-juicy mango. The sticky rice was similar to how my mom made hers and the coconut syrup over it all. Yum! Chef's kiss* Def one of my food trucks I'll be ordering from each farmers market trip I do this summer! Haha. Ambiance- it's at the Rva big market on Saturdays at Bryan park. Most of the food truck are all at the back now. I can only speak on my experience in the AM.
