The Bahama Mama is my favorite and never disappoints. Honestly, the smoothies alone keep me coming back. I also love the new Somerville location--it's fresh, clean, and welcoming. My only feedback is on the food menu. The meals feel a bit more prepackaged than I'd prefer, and I'd love to see more freshly prepared options or variety in that area. Overall, this is a great spot, especially for smoothies, and with a bit more focus on fresh food offerings, it could be even better. Looking forward to seeing how the menu evolves!

Downloaded the app for in-store pickup. It was really easy to sign up and place an order. Since I…read morewas in the plaza, I set pickup for ASAP. It said it would be ready in 10-15 minutes. I ordered the sunrise sunset. I did not opt to make changes, but they make it really easy in the app to customize your order. When I arrived my smoothie was already made and ready. They kept it in a cooler instead of on the counter which is thoughtful, since a smoothie is best cold and fresh. The employees were friendly. It was not very busy so it took no time at all to run in there and be helped. And it was very clean inside. The smoothie was great, nice and tropically - just as expected. And it is a very generous portion. When you have an account you get points and rewards which is cool - there was an offer when you sign up that you'll get a free smoothie after your first order..but it apparently is only good for a week. So I unfortunately didn't get to use it... but will def keep TSC in mind for next time I want a nice fresh smoothie!

First visit since COVID to this charming but cramped and aging shop with over-the-counter service,…read moreabout a dozen different muffins, and a single tiny table by the window. It's almost entirely takeout and on weekend mornings the line is as packed as a subway car during rush hour. The staff is efficient, courteous, and businesslike. I bought a box of muffins at opening and the whole box felt warm-- a great sign. -- Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffin: I ate this in the shop shortly after opening, while it was still piping hot, with the raspberries nearly a liquid and the chips somewhat melty. Nice soft texture and good contrast of flavors. -- Blueberry Muffin: I broke off and sampled a piece a little later in the morning (okay, 15 minutes later). Still somewhat warm, with a sponginess leaning toward Play-Doh territory (not necessarily a bad thing), but overall good. Neither noticeably sugary nor noticeably buttery. Blueberries were closer to adequate than impressive. Good muffin but with no standout characteristic to hang your hat on. -- Cranberry Muffin: Probably the best of the bunch. The highest crown (though no overhang), with a crusty surface and a good amount of big cranberries on top. Decent understated flavor to the dough, almost biscuit-like. -- Chocolate Chip Muffin: Overloaded with chips on the top surface (I'd hesitate to call it a crown), with none below. Plain dough that's thankfully not overly sugared, but not particularly moist. These muffins aren't cheap. Once you factor in the tax and tip, it's close to $7 each, and we're not talking about particularly large muffins. If anything, they're small, with no overhang and no streusel. Nothing wrong with small (they're dense, so will still fill you up), but for the price it catches your attention, as does a "coffee house" with only one table. The muffins are a well-deserved 4 even without overhang and streusel, but the other aspects bring it to a 3. Best for local pick-up.

I ordered a Red Rose Açaí Zero bowl. I really wanted the regular açaí and not the zero sugar but…read morethat wasn't on offer the day I ordered. I ordered online and didn't call to ask about it - not sure if this is normal. The zero sugar acai had a bit of an odd taste so I wouldn't do that again. Otherwise the flavor was good, and things tasted fresh, but I didn't feel like I got a good value. I added granola for $0.99 and there was maybe 2 tablespoons at best. The whole large bowl was on a pint sized plastic takeout container - I was expecting the large to be larger! There are no sizes on the ordering page so you don't know what to expect. I live close by and sometimes an açaí bowl just hits the spot so I might try again, but I wasn't super impressed. The order was prepped on time so no issues there.
