They have surfboards hanging off the ceiling and the light blues are reminiscent of the water. They have a huge menu of açaí bowls, smoothies and juices. My friend got the Nutella Acai Bowl, I wanted the very similar Nutaya Pitaya Bowl. They must've misheard me, because we both got the same Acai bowls. This was ok with me, since they are pretty similar. The Nutella Acai Bowl features cold and refreshing acai, topped with granola, fresh strawberries, banana, coconut and plenty of melty Nutella. This was sweet and delicious, and a very generous portion. We enjoyed our bowls. We will be back to try more.

The large meal sized shake is $12 which I think is reasonable. I've found my favorites and they've all been delicious, even the ones I don't get anymore. If you ask, they have a menu behind the counter you can look at for the macros, which I LOVE!!! I'm always looking for the most protein and fewest calories. The Crave is currently my go to shake based on that info. Service is good and there's an app and a drive through, super convenient and I feel like I've had something healthy after a shake! My hubby likes the protein bites too; but the macros don't work for me. LOTS of calories and not enough protein to justify it, for me personally. I was reluctant to go here, and now I'm a regular and a huge fan!

Noticed a new place in town so made a drop in. To my surprise, they have many different food &…read moredrink options, including breakfast. I walked in with the intent of getting a smoothie, which I did, but also ended up purchasing the shrimp wrap & a Mac & cheese dog. The seating is in abundance, with the choice of booths, tables & high tables. The decor is hip & chic with their colorful painting & graphics directly on the walls. I would have sat to enjoy the ambiance but I had the furbaby in the car. I went with the Pure Bliss smoothie & it hit the spot. I definitely tasted the fresh ginger & also chunks of the fruit. They don't have a designated dog smoothie, like I've seen at other places, but you do have the option of building your own. In addition to smoothies, they also offer acai, oatmeal & dragonfruit bowls. There's something for everyone! If you get the cheese dogs, get extra napkins. This is isn't your typical topping. This is a whole lot of mac & cheese shells drowning a 9" hotdog. I was in cheese heaven. The wrap was also tasty. I without a doubt loved the corn dusted medium sized shrimp. With all the healthy ingredients, there was not a feeling of guilt in site as a ate every crumb. The side are their house potato chips. Normally, I'm the oddball who does not enjoy this kind but I found my hand dipping in the bag multiple times. They are well salted & peppered, no soggy ones included. There menu is so extensive, it'll take a few trips to get through it all. No complaints here.

I am a DoorDash driver, and this was one of the most disrespectful experiences I've had while…read morepicking up an order. When I arrived, the order was not ready and was still being prepared. Since I knew I would be waiting, I politely asked if I could use the restroom. I was told no. I initially assumed there had been a misunderstanding, so I explained that I wasn't a random passerby looking for a public restroom. I was there to pick up an active DoorDash order and would be waiting while they finished preparing it. Unlike employees who have a workplace with designated break areas and restroom access, delivery drivers spend their entire workday on the road. We don't have a home base to return to between orders. Because of that, we often rely on the basic courtesy of restaurants and businesses we partner with while conducting pickups and deliveries. Most businesses understand this and treat drivers respectfully. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. What happened next was what bothered me most. Rather than simply explaining their policy and treating me with basic courtesy, the employees largely stopped engaging with me altogether. They avoided eye contact, ignored my attempts to communicate, and acted as though I wasn't standing there. It was an incredibly dehumanizing experience. After waiting several more minutes, I said, "I could have been done by now." The only response I received was, "It's not for the public." I again explained that I was there for an active pickup and was waiting on an order that still wasn't ready. Once again, I was met with silence. To be clear, I completely understand that businesses located on busy commercial streets cannot allow every random person who walks in off the street to use their restroom. That's not what this situation was. I was there performing a service directly connected to their business. DoorDash drivers are part of the fulfillment process that allows restaurants to participate in DoorDash, reach additional customers, and generate revenue from delivery orders. I wasn't asking for special treatment--just the basic courtesy of using the restroom while waiting on an order that they were still preparing. What makes this even more frustrating is that if the order had been ready when I arrived, I would have already been gone. The only reason I was standing there waiting was because of the restaurant's delay. At that point, I decided to unassign myself from the order, even though it was a high-paying delivery. If a business is unwilling to show basic respect to the drivers helping deliver its orders, then it can find someone else to complete those deliveries. I will also be reporting this experience to DoorDash so they are aware of how drivers are being treated at this location. To fellow Dashers: I strongly encourage you to decline orders from this establishment and spend your time supporting businesses that treat delivery drivers with professionalism and basic human dignity. To potential customers: please consider whether this is the kind of business you want to support. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, including the people helping get your food to your door.

Venus nutrition is family run and I had the pleasure of meeting of one of the owners. When I went in today she was very helpful and helping me choose the shake that I wanted along with an energy tea because I hadn't had coffee yet either. They have a variety of standard shakes and also seasonal flavors. I went with the chocolate, covered strawberry, a standard favorite of mine, as well as the scoop of peanut butter powder as well. They have small, medium and large sizes with calorie counts between 200 and 500 cal depending on what size you order. It's a great way to get a nutrition shake when you're on the run and you don't have time to grab something more substantial. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other flavors. They also have a loyalty card which I grabbed because I live right down the road and I know I'll be back for more.

The visits started out pretty good as we were a group of 12 coming into their establishment to start their day and we were their first clients. To walk in we expressed that we understood that only one person was working and that the timing may be a little bit slower due to the fact that she was the only one there. We put our orders in and slowly started seeing other clients of theirs come in the door and place orders. We could tell that some may have been online but let's remember that we walked in as they were opening. We waited an hour and 35 minutes to get paninis and smoothies and started noticing the people that had come in behind us and online orders were getting their food before us. We went to the front counter to ask, "Why are people getting their orders before us?" and we expressed that it was because they placed their orders online and that online orders had their own process. We were unable to accept this as we were their first clients of the day. We waited an hour and a half and people behind us and all non-orders were receiving their food before us. This was not just about the customer service and speed at which we received our order. We ordered a banana and peanut butter panini and two apple and cheese paninis, of which the bread was dry. There were barely any ingredients on the sandwich and it just did not taste good at all. This may be my first time saying I do not recommend a restaurant but this time I must say it. I can say the establishment was clean. It's an open kitchen where you can see the restaurant. They had games for kids to play and the ingredients seem to be fresh. I just spoke with the owner and got a better understanding of what happened. While I won't adjust what was said I will say the due to the fresh ingredients, situational challenges and promptness of reply of the owner, I will adjust my review as to not hurt this local small business. The owner was courteous, understanding and apologetic. She gave a detailed answer as to what happened and how they plan to improve.
