Came here post workout with a friend and I've never seen such an extensive menu with both good ingredients and macros easily listed! The owner was very nice and courteous. We tried the #2 Mango, Pineapple and Banana and #3 Mango, Pineapple and Spinach. I'm pretty unphased by protein and low sugar taste so this hit the spot perfectly for me. Next time I'm working out in the area I'll probably give the protein donuts a try too. Indoor seating is a bit limited but it seems like a very family friendly place as there's lots of games for kids to pass time too. Will be back soon!

Protein Waffle

I came here for the first time with my gf. It was great. The customer service was amazing. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and nice. They had lots of great nutritional information on all their items. Which was great. The place was spacious and very well decorated for the holidays. Mix of seating options. Along with some different board game options as well. We ordered açaí, strawberry and bananas bowls, plus shared a protein waffle plate. Then because we were new customers we also got a free cinnamon protein donut. The açaí bowls and waffle were great. Really yummy and full of flavor in every bite. Plus, they were all a great size for the calories. Fruit was crisp and fresh. We loved it and plan to come back when we are in the area.

I had the pleasure of meeting the owner today! I have been going to this place for a little bit and she was so lovely and we had a nice chat! Me and my boyfriend love going here after working out! I have only ever tried their strawberry banana, protein smoothie and their blueberry protein smoothie, but I always see people getting their donuts and their açai bowls. I am so excited to try more things here and you will not regret giving your support to this amazing business!!

Menu B: Energy drinks, Frappee, Coffee, Donuts

My wife and I were looking for a dairy-free breakfast option and we found it! Protein place has dairy free options such as soy & pea protein. We ordered a few bowls and a protein coffee. The staff was very sweet and patient. The cafe area was tidy and has toys for young kids to play. Since it was our first visit they blessed us with a free protein donut! Support this small business

Love this place. Ambiance is quite cute and relaxing, the customer service was great, and the food delicious. When I said I was looking for something that could be consumed in about two hours post workout, the woman at the counter gave me quite a few suggestions on what the best meal for me could be. She also threw in a protein donut when I said it was my first time, as it was getting near closing and she said they had lots of donuts left that day. Guess what? The meal she suggested--a chocolate protein bowl base with banana, peanut butter, whipped cream and chocolate chips--was absolutely delicious post workout. The donut was great for breakfast the next day. Went back and brought a friend, and this time I met the owner. She was friendly and warm, too. It was nice talking about growing to fit the needs of the community, as the food here is gluten free and diabetic friendly. Looking forward to going back and trying all of the protein bowls!

After meaning to try this place for ages I finally did it! My teenage football player and I stopped by yesterday for my lunch and his pre workout snack. It's absolutely everything I thought and needed it to be. Tons of options for macro friendly meal replacements, post workout shakes or something extra depending on what you're looking for. Lots of flavors to choose from. Chocolate and delicious? Yep! Fun and fruity? You bet! And what I absolutely love the very most is their customer service. Such a sweet couple working hard to make you smile and make you a sweet treat. Even better when the treat keep you on the path to your protein goals! Looking forward to my next visit already.

Acai bowl.. the one on the right has peanut butter

Was in the area because my niece and I were Craving for Acai bowls. Found this place.. Acai bowls are sooooo goood.. staff is really nice!!!

I always get the Reese's Protein Shake. They have a new menu idea, Churro Protein Cheesecake. I tried the cheesecake today and it was absolutely delicious! I cannot wait to grab some more! This place is a hidden gem. It also tastes way better than Nekter. Low sugar or sweetened with stevia. Their place is spotless. Support family owned and operated businesses!

Wow! Just wow! Just went in for the first time and the food is incredible! Super nice owners, they were so sweet to talk to and even gave me a free donut to try, protein of course, it was amazing! gluten friendly place too:) 10/10

All Protein and Sugar Free I follow The Protein Place in Instagram and have been meaning to try the delicious items on their menu. Waffles, Donuts, Açaí Bowls, Shakes plus more... yes, please! It's a little bit out of my way so I had to plan my visit since they close shop before I get off work on my less busy days -- Thursdays and Fridays. They had just recently opened late last year, 12/1/22, I finally made it here this past weekend. The interior is modern and very clean. Nice aesthetics. The menu had a lot of options. A bit on the pricey side. I ordered the Strawberry Banana Power Bowl. They were generous on the serving and the fruits were fresh. Daughter loved her Fruity Pebbles shake (#30). It was a tall cup and she finished it all. Employees were helpful and friendly. I'd come back again to try the shake. Review #2938

I was excited to find this spot, which offered a lot of options for Mexican snacks and treats. The example of choices included Pepino Locos, Tostilocos, Raspados, Bionicos, Banana Splits, Crepes, Elote, and more! In my visit, I proceeded to order the Esquite (#25), which came with freshly cut corn, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese and Chile powder. I also paired it with a Strawberry Agua drink. I must say that both items were amazingly great. I enjoyed the snack and drink from start to finish. The customer service was straightforward and friendly. There was only one person working, making orders for people. Overall, I was pleased with discovering Antojitos Locos. I recommend stopping by for wonderful snacks/treats/drinks.

What really affected my experience was the owner, Tiffany Martinez. In my interaction with her, she came across as unfriendly and unwelcoming, which made the visit uncomfortable.

For the price, portion size, and overall experience, I personally wouldn't return or recommend this place:( So disappointing.

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but after several experiences over time, I felt it was…read moreimportant to share my feedback. I've been coming here once or twice a week for quite some time, and I usually order the same drink. Most of the time I place a mobile order because I want to minimize my wait, especially before class. Unfortunately, I've frequently arrived after my 45-minute class only to find that my drink hasn't even been started, despite placing my order about an hour in advance. This defeats the purpose of mobile ordering. Even when ordering in person and being the only customer in the store, I've waited around 20 minutes for a single drink. The most concerning experience happened recently when I found multiple pieces of hair in my drink. At first, I assumed it was my own hair, but my hair is long and very dark, while the hairs in the drink were short and light brown. My friend and I both noticed it. As I continued drinking, I kept finding more hair. In total, I removed five pieces, with additional hairs stuck along the inside of the cup that I was able to see and retrieve with my straw. It was extremely unsettling. When I approached the counter, I politely asked for my drink to be remade and even apologized for the inconvenience. There were two employees working at the time, and the only response I received was, "Oh, okay." There was no apology, concern, or acknowledgment of how unacceptable the situation was. It left me feeling as though this wasn't taken seriously. My friend's drink was also made incorrectly, but she chose not to ask for a remake because there was already a line forming, and she didn't want to cause additional inconvenience. Unfortunately, the customer service has consistently been disappointing. Employees often don't acknowledge customers waiting at the register. On multiple occasions, my friends and I have stood waiting while staff remained in the back room on their phones. In one instance, I made eye contact with an employee while waiting at the register, but instead of greeting us or letting us know what was happening, she walked away. About 15 minutes later, she returned and explained that she had gone on break or to the restroom and had forgotten to tell us. It was frustrating because she had clearly seen us waiting before leaving. These repeated experiences have honestly made me reconsider tipping. I believe tipping is a way to recognize good service, but it's difficult to feel comfortable doing so when the service is consistently unfriendly, customers are left waiting without communication, and drinks take an unusually long time to prepare. There have been several occasions where employees disappear into the back for extended periods before returning to make drinks, and their demeanor often makes customers feel like placing an order is an inconvenience. I genuinely enjoy the drinks here, which is why I've continued coming back despite these issues. However, I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as better communication, improved customer service, and greater attention to quality would make a significant difference.

The bowl I ordered was great. Full of fresh and crisp fruits and ingredients. I decided to add goji berries, almond butter and almonds. Which are about $1 more each. Overall it was a great experience and bowl of flavor. Not the best I've ever had, but a great Acai bowl option in the area.

So far, I've really enjoyed Pressed and have had an amazing experience, which is exactly why I…read morewanted to introduce my husband to it. Unfortunately, our visit on Friday, 8/28/26 was incredibly disappointing. The young woman working the counter seemed either very new or simply in need of additional support, because something was definitely off operationally. First, the vanilla machine was down, so that option was unavailable. Of course, that was no fault of hers and completely understandable. However, when my husband and I walked in, we were the only customers there. I'm still fairly new to the Pressed community and didn't have my membership barcode readily available. I was spending about $40, so I asked if she could look up my account using my phone number. She told me she couldn't. That honestly felt absurd and unnecessarily unhelpful. At places like Jamba, Starbucks, and countless other businesses, there is usually some alternative way to assist a customer when they don't have their barcode immediately available. Nonetheless, we placed our order. By the time we finished, two additional parties had come in, and she proceeded to take their orders before preparing ours. Fine. I understood that she was working the counter alone, and when someone is managing both the register and fulfillment, customers have to allow them some grace and time to balance both. The problem was that she never seemed to make that transition. As she continued taking orders, more customers entered, and she simply kept ringing people up without preparing any of the outstanding orders. The small lobby became increasingly crowded while completed orders remained nonexistent. My husband and I had an appointment and were already pressed for time. At one point, he tapped me and asked, "Is it always like this? Is she ever going to start making the orders so people can get out of here?" I finally asked her about the wait and mentioned that our order still hadn't been started. She told me she "needed to take all of the orders first." I asked, "Is that Pressed policy?" She said yes and continued ringing up several more customers before finally beginning our order. That made absolutely no sense to me. If that is truly Pressed policy, I would strongly encourage management to reconsider it. If it isn't, then this employee needs additional training on how to manage the counter efficiently when working alone. There has to be a reasonable rhythm--perhaps take two orders, fulfill two orders, then return to the register. Continuing to accept order after order while an increasingly crowded lobby waits for anyone's food to actually be made is inefficient and creates unnecessary frustration for everyone. As a business owner myself, I would have cringed watching the customer experience unfold this way. It wasn't simply that the location was busy; it was the lack of effective multitasking and workflow that created the backup. I've enjoyed Pressed enough that I'm not writing off the brand because of one poor experience, but this visit definitely missed the mark. And unfortunately, it was my husband's first impression. His final assessment was: "All this for some non-dairy ice cream? I'll pass." Not exactly the introduction to Pressed I was hoping to give him. I especially like that this version makes it clear you're not attacking the employee personally--you're calling out the lack of training, workflow, and customer service, which makes your complaint much stronger. Hopefully the next time I return, Cam will be there. She was a great front face for Pressed. I have to give Pressed a 2 stars for today. Subpar service, no vanilla, and long wait time. Hopefully next time will be better, and I'll get it points.
