She seemed overwhelmed and distracted and checking her phone often even though there was a very long line of customers. They also ran out of frozen bananas so couldn't make hardly any of the smoothies and refused to put a regular banana with extra ice. Said she didn't know how to "charge" for it. Why would you charge for raw banana over a frozen banana? I'm at the point where I won't ever go back here again and I'd suggest to their management to restructure as soon as possible. This location has so much potential being right on a busy beach.

So when I heard about Uptown Nutrition Cafe, I got excited and had to check it out right away. I ordered a bunch of their birthday cake protein donuts and donut balls (they make them fresh to order!) and I brought them to a beach gathering with some of my daughter's 4-year-old friends. I wasn't sure how a group of little ones would react to "healthy" donuts, but they loved them--and so did the moms. I've been back a few times since, and I'm really happy to have this option so close. Gracie is super friendly--good vibes all around. I have also enjoyed the chai hot tea, and the vanilla kids' smoothie I got for my daughter was so good that we ended up sharing it. If you're in the area and want a special treat without the guilt, this place is definitely worth a stop.

It was easy to find, it was right on a strip of businesses on Palmetto. I walked in to cheerful place, but no customers at the moment. 3 employees were chatting. When i stepped up, only 1 actually noted I was there. her name was Becky. I mentioned the bowl and she said they didn't have that offer. I found it on their Instagram. Apparently they are a franchise model and the post was done by only 1 location. I was a little bummed, but Becky said, you know what, I will take care of your bowl. I wasn't sure what to get, but she mentioned one with peanut butter and bananas and i was all about it. I left, after the the order and enjoyed a very tasty bowl. And I will be back. Hopefully to the same positive vibes as this visit.

Inside the restaurant was cute and a little funky. However, it seemed off that evening. I noticed that many of the tables hadn't been cleaned off. Chairs were not neatly tucked in. The dining room looked in disarray. Yet, there was no one else there. If I hadn't read the good reviews on here, I would've just left. We found a clean table, and we had to ask the server for menus. The salads we ordered were good, but they needed more dressing. The ingredients were fresh, and I genuinely did enjoy the food. However, the state of the dining room and inattentive service set a not-so-great vibe. Perhaps it's different earlier in the day. Perhaps it was an off night.

It's on a bed of rice with, sliced carrots, kale, cherry tomatoes, and chicken pesto. I found the kale and carrots add a nice texture and crunch. The cherry tomatoes add flavor and a nice acid. This complements the chicken very well while topped with litght cheese. I also found the chicken portion to be very healthy. Overall a great bowl, and no wonder it's their number one seller. I'll definitely be back again to try more of the menu. They also have sweet breads and carrots if you have a sweet tooth for dessert. There is plenty of additional parking in the back if needed.

TropiBowls is a small local chain serving healthy smoothies and acai bowls. It was founded by…read moreDaniel Mederos and Natasha Teague in 2020. Their first location is in Oakland Park and it was where I met Natasha during a Yelp event. They have now expanded to Tamarac and this location in the Park Plaza Shopping Center in Federal Hwy in Pompano Beach. Mederos has said "We would love to keep expanding. We want to spread healthy eating at an affordable price." The last time I was at a TropiBowls I had the Sunshine State Açaí Bowl with kiwi, pineapple, strawberries, almonds, granola, honey, and shaved coconut served inside of a hollowed-out frozen pineapple, Açaí (pronounced aa·saa·ee) is from the acai palm tree, which is native to Central and South America. Açaí is considered a super food with anti-aging and weight loss properties. Its pulp is even richer in antioxidants than cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries. The berry has been eaten for thousands of years by indigenous people in the Amazon but it recently became popular when the Gracie family, famous for their Brazilian jiujitsu gyms, invented frozen açaí bowl in the late 1980s. They found the fruit to be low in sugar, full of vitamins and antioxidants, and an energy booster. Unfortunately it had an earthy flavor that reminded some people of dirt. To mask the flavor they flash froze the pulp and berries and used it as a smoothie base mixed with sweeter fruits that masked the flavor. The texture is similar to a sorbet. Now there are açaí bars all over Brazil where you can get it topped with all kinds of fruits, granola, and nuts. Some people eat it as a refreshing breakfast. In addition to açaí, TropiBowls also has pitaya, coconut, green, and oatmeal bowls along with coffee, tea, cold pressed juices, smoothies, avocado toast, egg sandwiches, wraps, rice bowls, and signature salads. On this visit I decided on the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap made with spring mix, tomatoes, onions, grilled chicken, ranch, bacon and cheese, ($11.99). My sandwich was excellent. I like how they grilled the wrap after it was filled with tender white meat chicken, fresh vegetables, and a tasty ranch sauce. TropiBowls makes it easy to eat food that tastes good and that is good for you. I can't wait to see where they pop up next.
