From smoothies, to bowls, there was plenty to choose from. I myself tried their Pura Vida bowl which is probably as basic as it comes but nothing about it tasted basic. Again, fresh ingredients and just the right size to leave me full and satisfied. A bit pricey for my liking is my only negative feedback but it's almost expected. The ambiance is open and fun giving the kiddos some fun spots for photo ops. The staff were friendly and inviting first thing in the morning. And even offered some of their personal menu favorites.

Surprisingly, this organic cafe was not over priced with an array of flavorful options. Ordered a shot of pressed 100% raw organic juice flavored with elderberry, raspberry and honey, which was a delicious blend. Quickly guzzled the entire shot hoping to stimulate my system with vitamins and minerals. There were an assortment of therapy and calming jewelry for sale on the counter including polished stones, beaded bracelets with turtle charms, and amethyst cluster geodes, which provided a Zen vibe. Loved the wooden ranch style bench with the multi-colored throw pillows installing an inviting home sweet home feeling. The bathroom had tattered industrial style cement flooring and worn wooden cabinets continuing that old rustic decor, which is prevalent at a ranch.

It reminds me of a chocolate milkshake with berries in it (without sugar of course). Overall this place was good (even if it's located inside a farmers market) and I'd love to go there again someday.

This is a cute healthy food cafe located in central Plantation in a strip shopping center…read more There is plenty of parking and the café is easy to find from the parking lot. Inside there are some café tables to sit at while the food is being prepared. They have a cold cabinet with pre made pressed juices and some bakery goods on the counter. The menu is vegetarian but very creative in the options. The ladies behind the counter were pleasant and were happy to educate me on what is in their sandwiches and bowls. The portion size to price is reasonable because the fruits and vegetables were all so fresh. I will definitely be back soon.

This is the very first time I've been able to actually get my açaí mix blended fresh before my eyes…read moreand to my liking. Most açaí places only offer their premixed blend and those are good too. Actually most of them are delicious. The problem is...if you're diabetic, or pre diabetic, those blends have too much sugar. Açaí berry is not naturally sweet and all the sugar and honey etc alongside the fruit which has its own natural sugar, it defeats the purpose of having açaí (which an help regulate blood sugar in its natural form). This morning I went to Swami and yes, they have they pre mixed blends which has strawberry, banana, almond milk, blueberries, coconut water granola and honey. However, the sweet young lady told me she could make me one with only strawberries and blueberries (diabetic friendly fruit) and I was ecstatic! I wish more people offered a fresh version and custom for individuals like me. Furthermore, it was $12 and change!!! I was able to eat and enjoy a guilt free açaí bowl FINALLY!!! Oh and this place is SUPER CUTE inside.

I've been a fan of TS for a long time & this location is consistent, if nothing else. It's been…read morehere for at least 14 years so that kind of speaks for itself. As with everything, their prices have gone up in recent years but at least you can count on getting a delicious smoothie every time. I've noticed on most visits that it's usually pretty tidy. Although the cafe is on the smaller side it's good to see the employees do a good job staying on top of it. Not only that, they're always pretty friendly. You'll get efficient, accurate service here so there's not much more to ask for. Most times I'll just get a smoothie but their food options are pretty delicious. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but at least it's healthier than most food you can get prepared this fast. The chipotle chicken club & chicken pesto flatbreads are super flavorful (but more importantly, filling). At this point I've tried way too many of their smoothies to list but I have a few that are great go-to's. The Sunrise Sunset is a best seller for a reason. It's a little tart but balanced just right with a combination of strawberries, pineapple, mango & orange juice. The Blueberry Bliss (blueberries, strawberries & banana) & Paradise Point (strawberries, banana & pineapple) are also tasty options. Living in Florida, I feel like there's never a wrong time to have a smoothie. They're cold, refreshing, taste great & they're a bit filling. I know there's plenty of chains to pick from but TS has never done me wrong. I'll continue to choose them whenever I want my fix.

Luckily, as I was driving along University Dr., I spotted a Tropical Smoothie Cafe in the Lakeside Town Shop. It was quiet inside as a male and female employee were preparing and packing online orders. When the female employee was available, she took my order for a Beach Bum smoothie. The smoothie was very fruity and absolutely delicious! It was made with fresh strawberries, banana, and my choice of white chocolate. I usually take a picture of the smoothie for my review, but I was enjoying it too much. Before leaving, I saw an advertisement for the new Toasted Snack Rolls featuring Hawaiian Heat, Bacon Chipotle Chicken, and Turkey Bacon Honey Dijon. I'm looking forward to trying one on my next visit.

I'll definitely come back to try their other options. This place is super spacious, earthy, and quiet. The service was as good as it can be, he told me they offered açaí bowls now.

After a hair appointment with my daughter, we were looking for something cool and refreshing, and…read more when we checked yelp for quick healthy bowls Bahia Bowls came up on near by places. Reviews were good so we decided to check them out. We each ordered a bowl. I had the Paradise Bowl and wanted to add a nut butter. The bowl comes with Pineapple and Mango Blend. Topped with Granola, Mango, Strawberry, Pineapple, Coconut Shavings and Sweetened Condensed Milk. I wanted to order a butter to it so the girl at the counter suggested the cookie butter since the pineapple has a tangy flavor, and it was the perfect recommendation. Everything blended so well, and the bowl was incredibly refreshing. My daughter ordered the açaí bowl with a little peanut butter, it came with organic Açaí blended strawberries and banana. Topped with granola, strawberries, banana, blueberries, coconut shavings, honey she loved it too. Both bowls were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The two employees who took our order were friendly, patient, and helpful while we decided. We never felt rushed, which made the experience even better. Bahia Bowl is located in the shopping center across from Cooper City High School. They have indoor seating if you want to stay and eat, although it seemed like many customers were grabbing takeout. Besides bowls, they also offer salads, wraps, smoothies, and breakfast toasts, so there's something for everyone. Bowls run about $8-$13 depending on what you order, salads are around $12, and breakfast toasts are about $9. If you're in the area and looking for a fresh, healthy, and cooling meal on a hot South Florida day, I'd definitely recommend stopping by Bahia Bowl!

We saw them at The Taste of Cooper City as well. I dig a good Açaí bowl but honestly, I can't justify $14 for it. It's pricey!!! I don't remember açaí bowls being this pricey. I also make açaí bowls at home so I suppose that's where it's hard to justify the cost. Ha. The girls got a Nutella Açaí bowl. I love Nutella just as much as the next person but how is the Nutella part healthy? Lol. They loved it and it made them happy. I had a few bites and it was good. Honestly, I think I need to find a bowl that I really want to try and maybe that will make up for the pricing. This place is really cute and their branding is cute. They also give away free stickers by the front counter. I snagged a palm tree sticker. Because Florida. I promise to come back and give the full experience a second chance and not let the cost Jade me. I'm sure I can find something on their extensive menu that I like.
