Took my friends (who are all big breakfast people) they loved the Breakfast Burrito and the Vegan Egg Sandwich.

Today was no different, super welcoming and always willing to help you figure out what to order if you're stuck between options. The ambiance is cool, and somehow I always end up seeing a familiar face when I stop by, which makes it feel even more like home. Definitely will continue to support.

The Kale Blend bowl ("Muscle Magic") was so expensive for what it was. The portion was a lot…read moresmaller than expected, and the consistency was like a watery juice with grainy chunks in it. It was extra disappointing because before ordering I asked if the kale blend was liquidy and like a juice, and the worker said that it was thick and not as thin as a smoothie; but it definitely was thinner than a smoothie. It was like water. It also tasted like water. The granola became like oatmeal because it soaked up the liquidy kale blend very quickly. I would've liked more toppings too to compensate for the lack of flavor in everything else. For a bowl named "muscle magic" too, I expected it to be more substantial, but it felt like I ate nothing. The worker was really friendly though, so I feel bad for leaving a 1 star review, but the bowl I got really was so bad. Maybe their acai base bowls or smoothies are a bit better, but the kale blend bowl was not for me. Update: The owner responds to you really quickly, and they are a small business actively trying to improve. If you end up not liking what you get, the owner says they will happily remake it for you or refund you. They refunded me, which I really appreciate. If you want to support a small business, pay them a visit and try them out.

It sucks, but it is what it is. It think the portion is a little smaller than playa bowls but that's to be expected with a small business. I will say that my bowl may have looked smaller, but it was pretty dense. I shared it with my sister and we were both satisfied. I don't think this is a staple item so I wouldn't return often, but as an occasional treat it's worth stopping in.

It's a great space and the staff here is incredible - friendly, helpful, and explained everything super clearly. The great: + Cute smoothie and juice bar for you to enjoy after your sauna session. + Convenient Old City location. + Sweet touches like writing names on a sign to welcome you, essential oil wipes, ample towels, etc. + The sauna itself is as good as it gets for this kind of experience. Super clean facility and they take a lot of pride in the space. The less great: + I would find it hard to justify the cost of membership with so many clubs around town offering saunas as part of their full gym experience. A 45 minute sessions for two was ~$119. + There was no working remote for us the day I was there to update the infrared lights. Not a huge deal but something that is a key part of the sauna experience not working might turn future customers off. + The plug in for your phone also was really spotty and the speakers kept going in and out. We ended up ditching it and going for silence instead. + Both the sauna space and space outside of the sauna is too small for two people. Overall if you're a sauna enthusiast with lots of discretionary income, OR you're just looking for a new way to escape the winter blues - this is a great option here in Philly.

I've convinced my husband, friends, and even some of my husbands friends to come. Every time I leave a sauna session I feel absolutely amazing, and it certainly helps to have a smoothie waiting for you when you're done! I usually do the 30 minute session and I bring the remote in to cycle through all of the infrared light colors. The smoothie options are soo good and I love that they offer seasonal blends too- always something new to try.

The gentleman at the corner was really nice and helped me figure out the menu. They had some fridges with some fresh juices as well. My smoothie was really delicious but I think it's just a little expensive so I can't make this place a habit. Definitely want to come back and try their smoothie bowls and the sandwiches/wraps.

I've walked by this place so many times over the past 12 or so years, always wanting to go inside but never doing so because I chose to eat at the sushi place nearby or the mini market across the street or, back in the day, go to the hot yoga studio two blocks away. On this fateful day, I finished a sushi meal and had an odd hankering for a green drink because I saw it in one of Soy Cafe's promo pictures. I let the kind lady behind the register decide what drink I should get. All I said was I wanted a green drink that was sweet. She suggested a Hangover Helper smoothie. My first thought was... I'm not seeking a cure for a hangover! But I just nodded and took a chance. There were similarly odd names for other drinks. I started reading the ingredients of my drink. Wait a second... pineapple... cucumber... ginseng... wait... cucumber?!!! That can't be good! Ginseng? Bleagh!!! But I decided to trust her advice and not stop the order. It was probably too late anyway. When I received my drink, I thanked the kind lady and started sipping the drink as I left. Whoa. This wasn't supposed to taste good! I could taste the cucumber, but it was very refreshing, like something I could find myself sipping on the beach. The soy milk and agave... this. wasn't. supposed. to. taste. good... As I walked to my car, I kept thinking about how I could've missed something like this all my life, and all because I was too stupid to walk into Joy Cafe when I had a chance. Don't you make the same mistake I did! Go there and get a soy smoothie. You'll be glad you did.

I'm not sure if the woman I spoke with was the owner but it was a middle aged woman and an older lady working. They were so smiley, so warm and friendly. We ordered at the counter and sat and then they brought out our food, it took maybe 15 minutes? Very fast! I got "bao bao bao" buns and the "send noods" with udon and white miso broth. So warming, so comforting, fresh veggies!!! Both were fantastic and exactly what I needed. My friend also got the "send noods" but with soba noodles and the ginger turmeric broth, and she loved hers as well. The store has tons of baked goods, smoothies, breakfast all day, lattes, and a thrift rack too plus jewelry! Tons of cute magazine and books around. Just overall a beautiful vibe and I hope this place flourishes!

Last night I visited with a group of 6 friends for some late night snacks. We ordered a handful of milkshakes, some small burgers, and fries for the table. Nice thing is that service was prompt and our food was served as quickly. In past visits when they were busier the wait time for food was much longer. But that's usually been ~dinner time when the restaurant is also otherwise impacted, so nothing out of the norm. My key lime shake was delicious. Warning: these things are HUGE. Split or be prepared to have an unproductive rest of your day. Fries are so-so in my experience, but honestly when you're gorging down other things like burgers and milkshakes, I'm not focusing too much on any kind of superior fry quality. I'd have shown you a photo, but it was so good it was gone before it came to mind to snap a shot. At restaurants I'm a "get one thing and only get one thing" kind of guy, and for me that's the double Texas Ringer here. If it's your first time, that's what I'd start out with and you can branch out from there on later visits. SOLID burger. Restaurant is generally clean, given the amount of traffic that comes through. The neon 50's (?) vibe is a nice touch to match with the food that's being served for an all-around experience that matches. And open late? Great for your late night dinner or dive food cravings!

No onion pulled out of the breading. Diner 1: 5 piece chicken fingers plus Oreo shake, breading was cornmeal like. So good. Plus a lemonade - looked fresh squeezed Diner 2: double ring burger plus the cheesecake Oreo milkshake and bottle of water. They don't let you drink the fountain water, had to buy a bottle. Diner 3: me- double cheeseburger with fried diced onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo so good. Probably could've done the single. Had a root beer soda. The place seemed clean. And busy. Would go back. It had been years since we went to the McDade Blvd one. It was a total of $83 with tip.

The selection of snacks at the register is very carefully curated. Mostly all-natural/clean on-the-go foods, with a few recognizable brands found at Whole Foods. I love that they partnered with Cymbiotika, too. The wellness aspect of the store truly impressed me. I also want to note how clean it was inside. I got a quick "hello" from the employee at the front, but he appeared to be packing an online order, and was the only associate in the store. I perused the menu until he was ready to assist. I ordered the açaí power bowl. Everything was cold and fresh - the granola added a nice amount of crunch and the banana mixed in the açaí was my favorite part. I added a pinch of cinnamon when I got back to my desk. Great spot to pick up healthy snacks and juices for those busier days!
