Wife had the WATERMELON POKE loved it. See pics for ingredients and salad I had the MISO TOFU RAMEN - very nice presentation with chop sticks and soup spoon (for the delicious soup) AWESOME would recommend - great soup, delicious noodles, with kimchi, wonderful oyster mushrooms and lots of shaved vegetables Gave 4 (in lieu of 5) just because the tofu in the ramen was hard and tasted like it had been sitting out for awhile. Only ate one of the 6 chunks. The rest is great.

I've been going to Pure Cold Press in Brookline since I was in high school!…read moreMy usual order consists of their açaí bowl and either a green juice OR their pesto grilled cheese. This was always my staple lunch whenever I wanted something quick and healthy-like + did not want to go to sweetgreens. Overall, I enjoy ordering from here and have never had any bad experiences, though I do not come here as often nowadays. Staff is always nice and they make everything super quick. Parking: lots of parking around, either on Harvard St or can park in the back lot of Maruichi's.

I…read morewould definitely recommend their new Protein Acai bowl, it has amazing macros and is packed with tasty and healthy ingredients!! I appreciate that their base isn't overly sweet and they give an abundance of toppings for an amazing variety of texture. To be fair, this spot is a little pricey so maybe a treat just every once in a while, but you're bound to be satisfied anytime you do choose to come! They also offer some delicious ice cream and smoothie options, perfect for a quick treat on a hot day if you're not craving a full meal but still want something on the healthy side. From my experience, the service is kind and helpful, and the vibes (which are similar across all their locations) feel very pristine and calming. I definitely recommend this spot and can't wait to try more of their flavor combos!

However, my most recent experiences have been better! I have been greeted with kind service and my orders have been made well. I haven't tried the freezes again since my last experience, but the acai bowl I had was great. The portions were what I expected and the server even was kind to let me pick a different topping on bowl since they were out of one of the standard toppings. I appreciated the attention to detail and taking a moment to make my experience better, rather than just skipping out on the topping. This recent experience was encouraging enough for me to come back sometime soon.

I got the Dragonberry pitaya bowl, which was topped with a good portion of delicious honey, granola, and fresh blueberries and strawberry slices. The mix itself was more slushy/icy in texture than expected, but still delicious in flavors. I would come back again if I was in the area and craving smoothie bowls.

Absolutely delicious and looks pretty too! -Dragonberry Bowl: pink pitaya base topped with blueberry, strawberry, granola and a drizzle of honey. (Pro tip; ask for granola on the side if don't want it to get soggy) -Stupid Cupid Bowl: stupid Cupid base with strawberries, coconut flakes, granola, cacao nibs, and white chocolate. I'm very picky on my smoothie spots because I expect consistency if I'm spending close to $10 on a drink and playa bowls hasn't failed me. Highly recommend!

I came here to get lunch while visiting Boston…read more The space itself is really cool -- makes me feel a lot cooler than I actually am! It also seemed like a nice place to read/get some work done. The menu is really varied -- a lot of different cuisines. It took me a bit to order but staff were patient and friendly. I ordered the mushroom shawarma pita and an açaí bowl. The bowl was delicious! They have their own smoothie bar that's separate from the rest of the kitchen and was served quickly. The mushroom shawarma pita was a bit disappointing. The flavors were good, but it was layered poorly, with all of the mushroom at the top of the pita, making for inconsistent bites. The sauces themselves seemed delicious. I would definitely come back to try different things!

Can't believe that I just tried their açaí bowl today! I basically stop by smith center everyday,…read morebut jut didn't have the opportunity to have a smoothie bowl. It is one of the very good ones I've had (among different cities, different stores). The base is naturally sweetened with banana and mango and gives its silky texture and sweet aroma. I asked for cacao nibs to sub the granola and got a large amount of cacao in my bowl. Not complaining, super crunchy. The blueberries and strawberries are of great quality, too. Almond butter is creamy. I think I'll have their smoothie bowls more often. In the past I have tried (and also recommend) wellness shot, chia pudding (lots of chia soaked in coconut milk). Their baked goods are also good, I particularly like tahini cookies (lots of super food and good stuff in there, like oats and sesame seeds, also chocolate chips of course) than muffin, although the latter is also made from healthy ingredients. Service is quick and friendly. Good experience!
