I'm originally from Sint Maarten, and discovering Exotikaz Wellness totally felt like fate. I…read morerandomly picked this place during a day-date, not knowing that Mario, the owner, is a French Saint Martin native. This has made my whole year--this will be my first-ever review of a fellow Martian (yes, that's what we call ourselves) and his amazing juice bar in Miami, Exotikaz Wellness.
How did I land here on this day? The hubs and I were craving something natural, no-added-sugar juices, bowls, and smoothies, and Exotikaz jumped to the top of my results. We were strolling through the Design District and thought it's a bit of a walk (about 10 minutes), but why not?! I'm so glad we did. The discovery came from his menu and drinks--the SXM Beach Cooler--and I thought, "Wait, you know SXM?" Not many know that's our little country code, and the Union was absolutely beautiful.
Mario is an absolute delight to speak with. He's from the French side while I'm from the Dutch, but one island--and we recognize a fellow SXM'er when we see one--and I'm thrilled to have met Mario and check out his adorable setup. You'll find the freshest juice, smoothies, bowls, boosters, teas, and coffee in this neighborhood, all sprinkled with Mario's love to keep his menu clean, natural, and especially refreshing. I treated myself to the SXM Beach Cooler (of course) and loved that it wasn't too sweet, but oh my, so delicious.
He has the cutest little spot to sit, relax, and enjoy your delights. He keeps the island vibe alive with the colors, look, and feel. Little does he know that being so close to my work and home, we'll surely be seeing each other often now. So, Mario--this review is for you and for all of our amazing Sint Maarteners here in Miami. Big up to Exotikaz Wellness!
