Our mission is simple: to make people feel awesome one block at a time by spreading good vibes and fresh food.”
The Burke location will serve the brand’s signature acai bowls, smoothies and cold-pressed juices, all made fresh to order with high-quality ingredients. New menu additions include mini acai bowls, offering a more flexible way to try fan-favorites, as well as protein smoothies designed for a post-workout boost. For a limited time, guests can also enjoy the Cherry Blossom Smoothie, a spring-inspired blend of real dark cherries, cranberry juice, bananas and a “cocowhip” twist.
