Every person who has waited on me has been knowledgeable and patient when I try to switch things up! I think it's better to take it to go then to eat it there because it tends to be a little cold in there and the chairs are not comfortable but that's not why I go so ultimately, I'm not looking for comfort!

The courteous young man behind the counter, Felipe, kindly redirected me. But, I used to sell an Açaí juice health drink, so I was very curious about the store.

I ordered two medium-sized smoothies--for $7 you get to add three-four ingredients. I added coconut flakes, chocolate dips (chips), Nutella, and blueberries. Oh, so delicious, healthy, and just sweet enough! My 14-year-old grandson and I each had one with our pizza and we even used spoons to get the last of the mixture out of the cups. Not to be missed! Thank you, Açaí Angel!

Now that's a good strawberry and something we don't see often enough at places like this, or grocery stores. This is high quality fruit and I will be bragging about it : ) so so impressed. I loved the mix of acai and pitaya. Pitaya will always be my favorite but I do appreciate a refreshing acai bowl as well. Pictured here is the medium cup. You can add as many toppings as you want and it's included in the original price (thank you for doing this acai angel bc this girl loves all of the toppings) I wish I lived closer because I would be here every other day of the week.

The good: I ordered the Root it Up juice which had a good blend of the beets and other ingredients and tasted delicious. The business is clean inside and conveniently located off of Baymeadows. The not so good: About a quarter of the cup wasn't full and another two inches was the foam from the juicing process. For an expensive juice that costs as much as a meal I'd expect to get the full 16oz. When I entered the business there were two ladies who looked to be friends of the worker sitting at the front desk crowding the pick up area. I completely understand when business is slow that the worker might have friends visiting but they should be seated at the table and chairs. Overall, I probably wouldn't visit again and would end up at my usual spots.

Next time, we'll have to try the bowls. The customer service was great. Everyone was friendly but efficient, which I appreciated. Apparently, they just recently opened. I could totally see myself coming here regularly after a workout or bringing my kids after school. I loved all the cute, aesthetic details. I wish I remembered to take photos!

I was told that if I was taking it to go, I could get up to 6 toppings and I could get more if I was dining in given the space constraints of the bowl. The 6 does not include drizzles but does include granola so for my toppings, I got 4 fruit, granola, chocolate chips plus honey and nutella drizzled on top. The bowl was beautifully prepared and it was delicious too. Price was about on par with other places ($12/$13 I believe). Very good experience, would opt for this over any chain acai place given the opportunity There was also these funky fish in the tank where you can see through them.

Parlor is my favorite local doughnut shop, with multiple locations in the Jax metro…read more They offer doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, coffees and their recently launched savory doughnuts. They also offer doggy doughnuts for your fur friends. Their doughnuts are excellent, but taste is more like fried dough from the carnival. I love them but some people may prefer more cake-like doughnuts (dunkin style). The new savory doughnuts are also pretty tasty - I tried the Hawaiian BBQ chicken recently. I don't love ordering coffee drinks at Parlor. Often if you get something with Espresso, it get's stuck in a long queue because they only have one barista and espresso machine. Their drinks are also just average - nothing special. Most of the staff at Parlor are young and still learning, but friendly enough. If you dine in at the Fruit Cove location, be aware that seating can be limited inside. They do have additional seats outside when weather is nice.

We've been going to Parlor occasionally since they opened and they have a good product. It's not traditional like the maple bars or apple fritters I grew up eating, but they are fresh, and when cooked the right way are really pleasing - kind of light (relatively speaking, I mean, it IS a donut). Minus one star because sometimes they aren't cooked as well and can be a bit doughy in the middle. Those days I eat the edges which are still good. The minis are a great way to avoid this, also - and I especially like the coconut ones. Boston cream, maple, cinnamon churro, all the flavors are great and I love the less common ones too - haven't tried many but lavender honey is so good. Great coffee and service, too - check this place out!

I forgot she was wearing the badge as we was stopping by for a smoothie before attending a Yelp event. LOL! That shows that they are very observant! Kudos for that! I ordered the Paradise Point which consisted of strawberries, bananas, and pineapple. That was quite delicious. My friend enjoyed a Detox Island Green Superfood Smoothie which was naturally sweetened with the following ingredients: spinach, kale, mangos, pineapples, bananas, and fresh ginger.

My smoothie was done after a couple of minutes, they called my name and gave it to me. While I was in the restroom they put the receipt in the pick up section which had my phone number even though they had given me my smoothie, that was kind of odd. My smoothie tasted great, consistent with what I had earlier in the week at another location. No issues with the tasty smoothies. I needed to use the restroom, hoping they had paper towels to wet and use on my face. I am allergic to cats and had just left my mother's with 4 cats, my face was having a bad reaction, to my disappointment only a hand drier, no paper towels. I get they save money, but honestly, it's much more hygienic to have paper towels, especially to use to open the door.
