    Mango delight and dragon fruit smoothies

    Smoothies were delicious and staff were very friendly! We got my mango delight and dragonfruit smoothies. They explained their menu and that's all the fruit is fresh with no added sugars or syrups. Definitely will be coming back often.

    I got the Detox Green smoothie and added protein and a banana! So refreshing, filling, and delicious!!!

    A friend and I randomly stopped by this cafe while on a walk in the Short North. It recently opened and we were down to try it. Inside you'll find a bright and vibrant green cafe with a menu full of smoothies, bowls, baked goods, and more savory lunch style items. The lady on staff was so sweet and eager to serve us. My friend and I both got a smoothie and were extremely satisfied. If you're looking for something refreshing, swing by here. It'll hit the spot.

    I've been looking for a truly authentic acai bowl in the US for years. The owners are Brazilian. This is the real deal!

    Had a great experience at Alchemy Cafe this past weekend. I had never been to this cafe before but…read morewhen I was on my way home, I looked up places to get coffee which I don't drink but I wanted some kind of breakfast food and this cafe did NOT disappoint. The cafe is out a gym and it is an easy grab and go as well as made to order. I ordered two items, a smoothie and sandwich. The smoothie I got was the Breakfast Smoothie that comes with banana, blueberries, almond butter, oats, ohio maple syrup, housemade almond milk. It was delicious and would definitely get again. I also an Egg Sandwich that comes with vegetarian, egg souffle, havarti, zesty cashew cream, arugula, focaccia. Both very good and would definitely get again. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more smoothies in the future.

Like the space always clean, good area to work, great sunlight and background music. Reviewing a recent visit. Egg sandwich- 3.5/5. It was interesting. The sauce was like a hot sauce (I liked the spice) but it oddly reminded me of a buffalo chicken egg sandwich because of it. All the elements were done well... great foccacia, juicy/fluffy egg. I just enjoy the flavor enough to order again. Chai tea wt honey- 4/5 solid tea. Only negative was the Temperature, it was warm vs hot, but the flavor was delicious. Not a huge fan of the smoothies, but the coffee and teas are typically good. It was my first time getting food. Local staple will defintely return.

    Looking for halo halo in Columbus, I found Bambu. It is close to me which is exciting…read more When you walk in the space it has a not pleasant smell. It was a bit off putting but I stuck around and ordered the halo halo. They have their speciality drinks with photos and descriptions along the wall. Those were helpful as their website was unreadable with what was in each dessert. The halo halo was delightful. It has a lot of flavor and some different things in it that have not been in other versions at other restaurants. It is a bit pricey but is larger than expected, which was nice and much more worth the money. I will go back and try some of the other desserts. They do have seating inside, but I got mine to go.

    Pros: Good location (next to UPS Store) and easy parking…read moreFriendly staff lots of seating Many options - Che (dessert drinks), milk/fruit teas, smoothies, coffees Also a few desserts like macarons, ice cream mochi, and waffles Prices are reasonable Cons: The space, though light and airy, could use some elements like plants to make it more homey The desserts weren't prominently displayed, except for some in the small chest freezer that I didn't see them There are 2 other boba drink shops in the same shopping center, so they need to highlight their uniqueness (e.g. Che drinks) Pro tip: Take some time to look at the menu - there are so many options! I enjoyed the Bambu Favorite which gave me lots of different textures and flavors to consume - chewy, crunchy
