I chose the Blueberry Keto smoothie. It's not sweet but it has all the nutrients you need to start your day without the pain of indigestion or bad ingredients. Service is always friendly here. They acknowledge you when you enter and if they don't hear you enter the storefront over the buzzing blenders they will apologize and take your order.

Today after my run I decided to visit Sunset Raw in Owings Mills for an acai bowl…read more I havent been to this location in a couple years. Since then they have remodelled and the wall decor is great but I liked the open view of the employees making your order. Now it seems very closed off. I decided to get the energy acai bowl today. It was okay but not the best as it was pretty watery/soupy base. The toppings fell to the bottom. I also purchased 2 juices. Both were okay as well. I dont know what has happened to the great juices and acai bowls Ive had from here in the past?

I stumbled across The Smoothie Garden while out on one of my neighborhood walks, and I was so…read moreexcited to discover we had a new smoothie shop nearby. To my surprise, it's Black-owned, which made me even more excited to stop in and support! I ordered the watermelon mint smoothie, and it was exactly what I needed on a hot summer day--light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. I also noticed they have a huge selection of Italian ice, including some served in an actual watermelon bowl, which looked so fun and perfect for the summer. I'll definitely be trying one of those on my next visit! This is the kind of spot I'll be coming back to all summer long. If you're looking for a refreshing treat, I definitely recommend giving them a try!

First time trying Tropical Smoothie Cafe out of my home state, I've got to say…read more... I've never felt more disappointed in a chain I'm accustomed to loving and having 0 issues with. The service was horrendous. The staff clueless, my order (which I placed 5 hours in advanced for pickup), just so happened to have disappeared while I was there waiting for at the pickup booth. I was given attitude and 0 customer service credit or sympathies. Not a clean smelling location. Please avoid this spot and hire new staff that care about thier jobs.

I would prob sub the pineapples for mango next time but it was still really good. I also tried the Matcha Ube Latte. As a matcha drinker, it wasn't much matcha flavor but I did like the flavor would just ask for more matcha next time. It tasted more like vanilla milk than anything else. The ladies working were very very kind and had excellent customer service! I felt welcomed. The store is very clean, I would definitely go back to this location.

The staff were super patient as I decided on what to get. I tried the Green Giant today, it…read moredefinitely tastes Green, but this one was palatable.

This is the place for smoothies in the northeast market. This place replaced the sticky bun bakery…read more The sign is still there but sticky bun moved to the front of the market. I had been wanting to try this place for a while but nearby stalls were a bit off putting so I waited until I got familiar with the area. Smoothie place's staff is friendly. I got their wake up smoothie which had strawberry, pineapple and two other flavors I don't recall. They have a whole bunch of combos and I will try more flavors if I am in the market. Until then I recommend you try it!

This is my favorite smoothie place period! I have never been disappointed here. The fact that they…read morehave such a vast variety of flavors can be overwhelming but just take your time.

I had ordered from them via DoorDash before, so I knew I liked their smoothies, but I had never been in person to this location. I got a smoothie (Purple Haze), which I loved.

Bae and I stopped by here after a doctor's visit. We were greeted immediately upon entry and offered smoothie samples by the register. Although I'm not a coffee drinker, I surprisingly liked the mocha cold brew. My boyfriend ordered the Pure Green, recommended by the cashier. He doesn't usually enjoy many healthy options, but he surprisingly enjoyed his smoothie. Shortly after tasting it, he decided to order the hazelnut butter toast, which he devoured halfway down the street--definitely a testament to its quality. We had the pleasure of meeting the store owner, Daye, who was very personable. She asked how we found the location, and of course, we mentioned Yelp. She informed us about another location in Ellicott City. It's great to know this place is both women-owned and Black-owned.

Coincidentally, I will be going to the Playa Bowls in Burtonsville today for lunch! I love Playa…read moreBowls (see my 5-star review of the Burtonsville one). That's the only location within 10 miles of my home. The only other location of Playa Bowls I've been to was the Baltimore County one by Quarry Lake. Yesterday, I reviewed the out of town P pick in 2025 alphabet series. Representing the runner up to the out of town pick, P is for Playa Bowls. I visited this location on Friday, December 26. I had a deal for a free peppermint iced coffee with bowl purchase. I had visited my parents in PA for Christmas and was coming back into town. I saw this location wasn't too far off 695. I had never been to Quarry Lake and is a nice area. I was here for one of those weird very late lunch around 4 PM, but I wanted the deal and the timing was right. It was pretty dead around here as it was the day after Christmas. I parked in a parallel spot right in the front; they also have a parking lot in the back. Staff was nice. I paid for some strawberry bowl with peppermint to get the free seasonal iced coffee. They didn't have any issue getting the deal to work. I waited at one of their seats near the food station. This location is a lot bigger than the Burtonsville one. They made the bowl first, and then they said we're out of the flavoring for the coffee, so it'd just be a black coffee. I said that wasn't the same as what I wanted or paid for. They apologized saying that their shipments come in on Thursday, but it was Christmas so shipments didn't come. So, it made sense why they were out. But I think perhaps they could've been more prepared and gotten extra shipment on Thursday, 12/18. They did say I could switch out for a smoothie. I said I don't want a smoothie, I'm already having this fruity bowl. He said I could pick any drink I wanted. I got some juice cleanse drink that was normally $8.99. I figured that could be good for me plus I wanted to ideally get their most expensive tier drink in lieu of not getting the iced coffee. The bowl was delicious per normal. Fresh strawberries, banana, granola, chocolate, peppermint, etc. all great. As for the juice drink, it was some cayenne fruit juice. It was kind of weird, had a bit of a kick, not my cup of tea. I drank it, but really would've liked the iced coffee better. Thankfully, I had some water in the car to wash down the strange juice. So, I was kind of annoyed. They should've known and warned me before I paid. I'm not sure I would've gone with Playa Bowl if they had been out of the coffee; that the catalyst to go down there was the free iced coffee deal. In spite of that negative, like Burtonsville location, the bowls are great, staff is nice, and they did try to accommodate with free any drink.
