    Cookies and Cream shake
    Jeff D.

    Shake smart is a nice little on-campus location for healthy drinks -- which definitely makes sense when you realize it's right near exercise locations on the UT campus. A few friends and I ended up finding Shake Smart and taking a Lyft to it because we were looking for some good milkshakes & smoothies and Shake Smart is reviewed so well! Well... I'll say the drinks at Shake Smart are generally good, but you need to be calibrated for what they are -- their shelves are stocked with protein since most of the drinks are protein compatible. That in and of itself is fine, but even the shakes without protein aren't really normal shakes, so much as protein shakes with the protein removed (aka you still get that slightly odd aftertaste even without the protein). Overall the staff is nice and it's quick to get a shake or smoothie here -- just make sure you come in with the expectation that you want a protein-based beverage.

    Raw-Pb

    I found this amazing location in the heart of the University of Texas. It's a little difficult to find if you are not visiting the campus but worth the effort. They have many amazing food and drink options and the staff is especially helpful. We opted for the raw-pb bowl after our 10 mile trek on the Lady Bird Trail. This was a great treat that was well deserved, a special shout out to Arely for making this amazing trophies.

    Shake smart acai bowl

    This place was conveniently located inside of Gregory Gym on campus. The smoothies and bowls were protein-based and very nutritious. They were thick and delicious too. My favorites were the greens to go, original acai bowl, and banana split. Great after a workout or for an afternoon pick-me-up! They were a bit pricey and sometimes the lines were long. Once a year (at the beginning of the school year), students used to get a free smoothie too!

    perfect 10 ( i think)

    this was honestly one of the best smoothies i've had, very yum yummy and close to campus

    The best place to get acai bowls or smoothies near campus. My favorite is the raw pb bowl! I wish there was an option to change the sweetness levels though -- sometimes it's way too sweet that I can't taste anything else. Other than that, it's great! Such a convenient location at greg. The wait times can also get a bit long at peak hours

    Dragon bowl with 1/2 agave
    Irene C.

    Came here after working out at Greg for an acai bowl because I wanted a sweet treat to fuel after a workout. I ordered at the self service tablet (but you can order in person). I got the dragon bowl with half agave. It was so good. I actually didn't expect it to be so sweet and was surprised. Next time, I'll probably get it without the agave. I loved all the toppings included too. The only thing is I wish it didn't melt so quickly. As soon as I stepped outside it started melting and turned into a watery consistency and separated into two layers. Another complaint my boyfriend had was about the protein they used. He claimed that it wasnt a very clean source. For about $7 it was a bit on the expensive side but I guess it's a hipster thing. The service was pretty quick. I didnt have to wait too long for my bowl and I was happy with it. I would probably come back again next time if I was looking for a treat.

    Original Açaí Bowl
    Remedy R.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I entered Greg one day and saw a place that sells smoothie bowls! I ordered the original açaí bowl. Love coconut flakes and granola - this was no exception. Also liked the how the addition of protein didn't give it a chalky consistency. Overall, the granola was tasty and the flavors were there - just giving a 4/5 because it was more on the liquidy side (more smoothie like, less bowl like). This is a perfect location to have a smoothie place. I would definitely love getting something from here after a workout or a day of tanning by the Gregory Pool.

    smoothie turned into bowl.  Added some stuff &SUBSTITUTED INGREDIENTS FOR FREE. So healthy& yummy&I designed it!!Like $8-9 for this :D

    i've had Very good quality smoothies and bowls and plan to keep coming back here. the SMART part is that u can literally see every ingredient and customize single food item there using their touchscreen ordering pads. It is AMAZING. I FEEL SOO HEALTHY eating their food and the staff are always friendly and happy college kids. They also offer good quality ingredients that are harder ti come by like pitaya and caco nibs. You can even customize ur own protein powder flavors and types, and of course the milk, toppings, etc for bowls. I love their bowls. You also make ur smoothies into bowls. Their highly flexible and efficient business model makes me so happy and the quality and flavor of the food is the best I've ever had and I'm a huge smoothie person. I really. Like. This. Place. Highly recommend.

    Raw Açaí Bowl is my absolute favorite!
    Rachel W.

    I absolutely love this place - my favorite healthy stop on UT campus. They're fast and friendly, two things pretty rare on this campus. The down sides are that it's a bit pricey and I wish they had more whole fruit in their bowls. Their digital ordering system makes it really easy to customize your order to whatever you want though!

    Literally the worst "acai bowl" (if you can even call it that) I've ever had. Spent $7 for a liquidy bowl of cold mush.

    Yes! Absolutely! We are before the turnstiles to enter the gym so if you just enter the front doors you will see us :-)

    If you're like me and don't like banana in your protein shakes, I recommend the chocolate covered strawberry shake.

    OMG where do I start? My plans started horribly today, and I didn't even plan on eating here today,…read morebut the food here at Veracruz All Natural completely turned my day around. I had only stopped by this Food Truck (area) to try Desnudo Coffee, and spotted this business. I had heard some good things about Veracruz, but I was planning lunch elsewhere. Well, that other spot was CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS! Seeing my situation, I saw it as opportunity to try the options at Veracruz --- including the famous from Food Network, migas taco. I ordered 4 tacos: the migas, migas poblano, shrimp macha (!!), and the Dona Reyna tacos. All of these specific tacos were priced between $6 and $6.75 per taco, not bad in Austin, and not bad considering the quality of said tacos. As you can see from my order, I opted on the more "novel" choices and they did not disappoint; that said, I do HIGHLY recommend the two variations of the migas taco and the shrimp macha taco. Oh, the shrimp macha was so FIRE, the flavors were bold and smoky with a kiss of heat. The migas tacos were FULLY LOADED, and the scramble with the tortilla chips were flavorul. TIP: They will ask corn or flour --- do flour. Everything is handmade, but those corn tortillas fall apart with all the sauce. Flour = durable and flavorful. I had plans, but the Universe had other plans for me that were superior. Try Veracruz All Natural --- and if your limited on $$$, you can snag 3 EXCEPTIONAL LOADED TACOS for about $20, that you will not find anywhere else!

    The Austin heat was breathing down my neck like a dragon as I walked a place recommended by a…read morecoworker. I walked into this unassuming restaurant and perused the menu, which felt like Mexican tarot cards. Pictures. Titles. Small description. It all looked basic. But simple food made with fresh ingredients and seasoned well has won Michelin stars. Unfortunately, I don't foresee them receiving one. The al pastor taco was tasty. The steak taco had too much fat in it. If I was strictly bashing this review on the food. I'd give it a three. It's not worth the price. Now, the service seemed to be decent until I didn't put a tip on my takeout order. Things seemed to go south. When my name was called, I grabbed the small paper bag and paused. No guacamole. If I hadn't have looked, I could've walked a really long wasteful before noticing. Maybe long enough to not go back. The last behind the counter, said okay I'll get it. It felt like a chore. I said thank you and made the long walk fighting the heat of the dragon's breath once again. The story does not stop there, I thought 3 tacos, a drink, and guacamole couldn't honestly cost $43. The guilt of spending that kind of money on such little food that was also just average, screamed in my conscience. Well, that was because the woman also had not given me my tres leches, which was going to be for my wife. I took the long walk back, stood at the counter for what felt like 10 minutes,and again it felt like a chore to get me what I paid for. No sorry. I would suggest taking a little longer walk to Taqueria de Diez

    My girlfriends and I were on a girls trip in Austin and we decided to stop here for brunch. It was…read moresuch a hit, this restaurant is our vibe and I wish we had it back home. The restaurant itself is decorated so nice, it's picture perfect. I also really appreciate a restaurant committed to having options that are seed oil free, from local farms and also having options without refined sugar. Miranda was our server and she was so kind and attentive. She made sure we had a great experience and was a pleasure to talk to. To eat I ordered the classic breakfast and to drink I had the vanilla maca. I didn't love the vanilla maca, and I only blame myself for that. I have never had maca so I didn't know what to expect but the drink basically tasted like a chocolate protein shake. Which isn't bad but I wanted like more of a latte so that was on me. My meal however? Loved it. Everything was so flavorful and hit the spot exactly with what I wanted. I also really appreciate a salad with breakfast since this helps lower your glucose spike and so when a restaurant offers this I know they know true wellness!!! My girlfriends both ordered the avocado toast and loved it. One ordered the cherry vanilla limeade and enjoyed it as well, but as an avid cherry hater I didn't try it...but if you like cherry she recommends it! I would come back to Austin just to eat here again. So good. So jealous this isn't back home... did I mention that already??!!

    I wanted to like this restaurant, but they made it hard to do. We started off with the guacamole…read more The pomegranate seeds on top were a nice touch, but man, this was flavorless. It was painfully boring. We had our 6-year-old, who is head of the Picky Eaters Society, so we ordered bread with butter. This 6-year-old, who eats bread on the daily, took one bite and wouldn't eat any more. We even get gluten-free bread regularly, and he eats it. The bread was fine, but don't expect flavor. By some miracle, they even made butter tasteless. I considered calling the Vatican to see if this was some holy, divine miracle, but my wife suggested maybe the main course would be better. We settled on the pesto pasta with chicken added for an additional fee. The pasta was good. Great texture, good flavor, and the combination of ingredients was good, but it's nothing original. It's pesto pasta. It's a classic. I appreciate the pomegranate seeds on the guacamole because it's original, it's clever, and it's different. We also ordered a special soda drink for our son, and it had a small black bug on top. I had them take it back and replace it. I kind of expected a "Listen, we apologize for the bug. Here's half off dinner," or something, but nothing. Service was fine, and it's a decent atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to sit and talk it's a great place, but if you want food or a drink go somewhere else.
