Delicious juice/smoothie, bowl, and salad spot! Love to see places like this popping up around Syracuse. Really enjoyed the vibe as well as my smoothie, The Surge! I will definitely make a point to stop anytime I am downtown looking for a healthy meal ...

Myself and coworkers eat here every week! We love the delicious fresh food. I don't know where they get their produce but is always on point!

LOVE your smoothie bowls! My old lady tendencies wish it didn't feel like a nightclub.. the music is too loud, and too much rap. But, I'm sure the students dig it.. Later hours would also be awesome so I could get to you after work! But, overall, we love your smoothies and are grateful to have a healthy, delicious, and local option!

Excellent smoothie bowls. Perfect amount of crunch to the base. Parking is rough on weekdays, make sure you do not put quarters in meters but at the paystation. Service was very good.

My go-to spot for delicious and healthy smoothies. The variety of options, including the ability to create your own, makes this place stand out. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, helping me navigate through the menu. The quality of their ingredients, the friendly service, and the delightful atmosphere make it deserving of a five-star rating.

First experience here. New to trying smoothies as a meal replacement. OMG, the best service. I ordered the Lava smoothie and the Mirage salad. Excellent choices. I'll definitely be back this week for lunch.
