Arlee's Raw Blends

5-stars for being vegan, gluten free, organic, raw and overall healthy with friendly staff.
My açaí bowl was a 2 though.
It took 25 minutes to come out (no one else was in the store), was incredibly runny, bland and skimpy on toppings.
I guess I should have read reviews before ordering since this seems to be the norm. Based on the $15 price it was very disappointing.
I’m privileged to have enjoyed açaí bowls around the world, and wouldn’t recommend this one to anyone. The cupcake-sized raw cheesecake was enjoyable (strong cashew flavor, minimal fruit flavor.) The new Nassau St location is nice, bright, and clean, although less accessible by car with few parking options.

The employees here were very kind and the vibe was right.
The owner however(I’m assuming she’s the owner based on her *my sh1t don’t stink attitude* seemed offstandish and not on the same vibe that the awesome employees were on! I was kindly told(by a nice employee) that the recipe to my drink changed, which I didn’t think mattered until I realized that the changes made to the drink were very different from the original recipe.
The original recipe was a refreshing base, and the new recipe was going to be a thicker and creamy base, which was not what I wanted.
I kindly told this to the employee, and the employee then asked the owner if they could make the drink with the original recipe. Sadly, the drink was still made incorrectly because there was no mint leaves in it like there was supposed to be.
$20 for a juice to not even be made right.….at that point I just wanted to leave so I accepted the loss and decided I won’t be back here again.
I think this place needed my $20 more than I did.
I gave two stars because the employees were nice and this place uses glass bottles.

I paid almost $9 for one cupcake…omg.
It was good though and the service was super friendly.
You can request samples of juice if you’re not sure which one to buy.
I’ll stop by again whenever I’m in the area.
