I appreciate a local cafe open past 4pm in this area!…read more I needed a place to take a Zoom meeting, they had an outlet available, good wifi & nice natural light. It's a small menu, so was hard for me to find something on the menu without dairy, caffeine or nuts, so I hope they expand the options. Nice staff, clean restroom & modern space!

Came here for breakfast this morning around 10am, party of 4. I got a small Dnutty bowl (acai base…read morewith almond butter and nutella, with strawberries and bananas) for $12 ish. Extra 99 cents to make it a large. Pros: - very easy parking lot - DELICIOUS acai with excellent fruit to granola to acai ratio - I love that you don't run out of granola or fruit at the end and they put granola at the bottom too - The fruit tasted super fresh - Acai blended really well, no iciness - Pretty fast service, I think our four bowls were ready within 5mins - pretty good quantity even for the small - I was full afterwards and it was the perfect size breakfast. - Has a little sitting area in the back with some tables, and a counter. - cute decor in the back, fast casual setting. - SO refreshing in hot weather 10/10 acai and better than anything I can find in the East Bay

Loved the bowl that we got, the creamy was very yummy! Will definitely be back to try the acairead more

I love smoothies, so I'm always looking for a new shop, but this was disappointing. The smoothies…read morewere thin and very, very plain. The prices are not posted, but there is no way I would have paid 9 dollars for this smoothie. There are no options above 400 cals, so these may not be able to work as a meal.

This place has really turned around in the past few months under the new manager, Marissa. The…read morestaff is very friendly and engaged, orders are made quickly, and the food and beverages taste great. Employees even come up with their own seasonal smoothies! Past complaints about slow or absent service, lazy bowl assembly, etc. are totally justified because that was also my experience. However, I'm glad to say that the Big Squeezy of today is nothing like that! I highly recommend.

Needed something to eat that would satisfy and feel fresh. I popped in and the staff greeted me…read morepleasantly. I wasn't sure what to order so went with a build my own bowl. I went with a blend of the two bases, blueberries, almond slices and banana. Very tasty. The shop is clean and the produce is fresh. Lots of ready made juices available.

Visited the Santana Row location twice this summer, both times this hit the spot. Cold, refreshing,…read morecolorful, and tasty! I love how customizable the build your own bowls are, and how fresh the fruit is. No seating inside, but there's benches, tables, and planter edges to sit on in the general area. Does take a bit long for orders, likely because a lot of the toppings/ingredients are blended / cut more freshly! There's paid parking garages all around. Fairly allergy friendly in that they list what is vegan, nut free, gluten free, etc., but there are a lot of nut ingredients used in general so just an alert for potential cross contamination for those severely allergic.

First time trying Palmetto and it didn't disappoint!…read more My friend and I came here at around 1:30pm this past Sunday. The inside of the shop is very small. You can order on the tablet or with a staff member at the register. I opted for a small build your own bowl with acai as the base. The small was perfect, and the acai was not too sweet. All the fruits were fresh, and I liked the variety of toppings. My friend got chia pudding, and I had a bite of it. I really liked it, so I would definitely add that next time.

Hoping for good things but a little worried as they only have one worker and she seems…read moreinexperienced. She did pretty well and the bowl was fairly good. Overall it could have been better and they definitely need more workers.

Super happy to see another health foods/acai and vegan friendly shop pop up in Santa Cruz! I am an…read moreacai bowl fanatic so having the ability to build your own or order one close to him is simply divine. They have a few pre-made suggestions for bowls and you can also build your own. Prices start around $13 for the smallest bowl and makes its way to a larger size that can feed multiple people. I went with their namesake, "The Terra," which was the closest to a traditional acai with healthy nuts/seeds, bananas, strawberries, and almond butter to name a few. My bowl was great and everything tasted fresh and not overly sweet like other acai bowls I've had. I'm also curious in trying their wraps and grain bowls too since they all sound delicious. One small thing we noticed is that they created two of the same bowls but we had each ordered different ones. It wasn't a huge deal since none of us had any particular allergies but make sure to check and see that you got the correct order. Also, it's not Terra's fault but unfortunately, we could smell cigarettes from anyone smoking outside as it seemed to come through some air vents? Hopefully once the area gets more developed that this shouldn't be a problem.

The only part that was strange is the granola, which was overly sweet and largely consisted of rice crispies ... never had that before. Other than the rice crispy-based granola, I enjoyed it. The best bit was the friendly service. They have such a large selection of açaí, so I'll return to try a different version that either doesn't have the granola or ask them to leave it off.

This is thee new spot in town…read more I've only ever stopped here to buy my daughter a scoop of ice cream but they're very friendly (huge plus) and it's the only local place we know of where they have sprinkles to go on top.

I've been here at least a dozen times because, to be fair, the smoothies are consistently…read moreexcellent. If I were reviewing the drinks alone, this place would be an easy five stars. Unfortunately, the customer service has been just as consistently underwhelming. Every visit feels like I've accidentally interrupted an important meeting by...walking in and ordering. The employees (usually younger staff at the counter) rarely greet you, and when they do, it's with the enthusiasm of someone being asked to clean the garage. Today's visit summed it up perfectly. I asked about a couple of the hot tonics, hoping for a recommendation. The response? "I've never had them." Fair enough--but maybe follow it up with, "Let me see if I can find out," or "People seem to like this one." Anything besides leaving the customer hanging. The smoothies are blended with care. The customer experience...not so much. Hopefully one day the service catches up to the quality of the smoothies, because the product deserves it.

Saw this place while walking downtown Monterey and thought it was a Pressed Juicery…read more Upon walking in was greeted immediately and the notice the place was very clean. Young lady that helped us was very nice even though we came in 19 minutes before the place was closing. Got the green dream juice and the Brett Berky açaí bowl. Green juice came in a glass bottle and was very refreshing. The açaí bowl was delicious and had granola, strawberries & blueberries. Definitely coming back to try other refreshing juices and bowls.
