We like to try local restaurants whenever out of town. Instead of Chipotle, we opted for Vale. It's a combination of Fresh Kitchen and Chipotle but without the steak. There were a few things I felt could be better. The store made lemonades had no real taste. I got the braised beef and although it was submerged in sauce, it was still a bit on the dry side. The atmosphere is great. There is music playing but not very loud so that you can hear your conversation. The service was awesome and I even got 10percent off for checking in. If you go online and give them a 5 star review l they will give you a free Açaí bowl.

The plan was to go to another restaurant nearby. Upon arrival, we found it closed the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Given that there were other restaurants in the area, we walked around and settled on this place. If I'm honest, I wasn't expecting much. It seemed to me to be a healthy version of Chipotle. Not exactly what I wanted to eat when I wanted to have something more filling, more fattening, but eh, we were on a time constraint, so we tried this place. Have to say whoa baby, it was a mélange of flavors that impressed me. I got a sweet earth bowl, which is one of their signature dishes. It had sweet potato noodles, roasted broccoli, teriyaki chicken, and curry honey mustard on the side. He built his own bowl with I forget what. The food was ultimately pretty satisfying and I'm happy to say this is a chain and there's one in South Florida. Definitely will try this chain again.

I love Vale, and as a college student I like being able to go to a restaurant that's nearby and get a healthy food option. One thing I should note is that it can get pricey ( especially for a student) so this is a once in a while treat for me. Other than that I love this place and will continue going!

Vale Food offers something really different to the Tallahassee area. They are a health food restaurant that serves mostly fast food. They have one side of the restaurant dedicated to hot food and the other side of the restaurant. I like their inside setup. It's really good spacing, especially during this pandemic. Today I tried a açaí berry smoothie and it was really good. I added protein and honey for a little sweetness. I've recently switched to more of a liquid diet so this place it perfect for me. I can't wait to come back and try the hot bar. The turkey meatballs look amazing!

Meh. Not very happy with my experience. Not sure if I'll be a returning customer or recommend this place. We're in Tally for less than 12 hours since we're on tour. Got to our hotel and ordered through DoorDash since the delivery time said 18 min from the restaurant. Ended up waiting a whole hour and some minutes. It wasn't the dashers fault, she was very communicative with us and kept us updated the whole 45 min she waited for our food. Shout out to Khloe, you rock. Usually when restaurants are out of something, they'll call or message you asking if you want a replacement or refund instead. The food was good but the matcha was gross and watered down :( sadnesss We ordered a large lemonade, a matcha latte, a cookie, and two BYO bowls. They included utensils but only one straw. Prices were okay for the value and amount of food we received. Food was fresh, they just need some support with their customer service. Visit at your own risk LOL

I don't frequent places near FSU because parking is usually an issue but I can say that there is…read moreparking right in front of this establishment and there is a garage a short walk around the corner. The staff are very friendly and I loved that they allowed me to taste their açaí before buying a bowl. Let's be real acai lovers, not every one is good. For the first time, I saw options for different bases aside from açaí and pitaya. Their other bowl options were banana and coconut and mango but I didn't like any other flavor better than the açaí. I will say that the coconut/banana with spirulina was pretty good, but I ended up getting the Nutella bowl. The portion size was humongous and I thought the price point was fair. The menu was pretty extensive offering bowls, smoothies, pressed juices and cold brew. The atmosphere was casual, friendly and vibrant. It is definitely a laid back atmosphere where you would be comfortable eating and chatting with friends or on the computer doing some work. It wasn't the best açaí I've had but definitely worth returning.

I've been here a couple times and received excellent customer service each time. After a mistake…read morewas made with my order, the staff generously offered me a coupon for a free bowl. As for food, they mostly have açaí bowls and a small coffee menu. There are plenty of choices as long as you like something in the categories. Parking is difficult so it's much easier to get to if you're already walking in the area. They play Taylor Swift sometimes, which I appreciate. Seating may be limited if it's especially busy, but has not been a problem.

Giant sigh, I am a big fan of a Smoothie King, and I'd like to think all of them are perfect!…read moreHowever, this one falls a tad short. I'm new to town. I've been visiting this Smoothie King on Monroe when I stumbled on this one. Apple Maps did not have good reviews for this particular store, I went anyway anyways I'm a Smoothie King professional. I have to say I was greeted promptly with smiles people actually look like they wanted to be there. Our order was taken quickly, although the lady had a little trouble finding this smoothie not uncommon. ( nutty super grain). Apparently, there was some trouble making a smoothie I'm not exactly clear what happened but she made a second one and somehow I ended up with two smoothies for the price of one yeah! Here's where it goes sideways, I started looking around, and the place is not clean, the glass on the counter full of fingerprints, the little refrigerator, where they put smoothies that have been ordered and awaiting pick up smudges all over the glass, the front door was atrocious ( that's actually what made me start looking around inside). There was a container of something on a shelf. It was physically dirty, and a single banana sitting on top of it? One of the cutting boards even looked like it could use a scrubbing. I Think if the owner just gets a double shift in there, has them stay for a couple hours after close they could G.I. party. A whole building and they'd be on their way to five stars. ( I'm really hoping that their food storage area is cleaner than what I saw in the front of the store. I'm gonna pretend like it's perfect)
