"Fresh, Delicious, and Affordable! Green Apple Delight is my go-to spot for smoothies and açaí bowls! The ingredients are always fresh, the frozen yogurt is super creamy, and the variety of toppings is amazing. The staff is friendly, and the place has a clean, casual vibe. Prices are very reasonable — great value for what you get. I highly recommend trying their mango smoothie and custom açaí bowl. Can’t wait to go back when they open at 8 AM!"

"We went to Bread N Wine on a early Saturday afternoon for brunch. We were greeted and seated by the servers who were attentive. The food was okay the bread was really soft and fresh. My partner got the French Lentil Soup, Spinach and Tomato Egg Bake andI got the French onion soup, egg omelette with spicy tomato avocado and onions. I wasn 't happy with my omelette because thespicy just meant it was covered in hot sauce within. For beverages, we got chai lattes (we later found out it wasn 't tea basedbut rather coffee) and we had the option of oat milk, almond milk or regular milk. In terms of our overall experience we feltby the end too many things were steering the experience south; the worst was when we were accused of using counterfeit money topay for the tip. There was no special marker used to prove that the money was counterfeit or technology to back up this claim.That experience alone left a bad taste in our mouth as we left embarrassed by that claim, kind of shook from that, we stilladded the tip to our credit card 18%. As we walked out and talked about how weird that was, the owner of the business nextdoor overheard us and asked to see the $20 bill he showed us that our money was real and validated what we knew, that themoney wasn 't counterfeit. When we went back into Bread N Wine to discuss this there was no apology, just well, it felt thatway , shrug. It left a terrible feeling. We would not go back after that, this is not how you treat customers from start tofinish, hence the 2 star review."

"It was the first vegan restaurant in my life and not bad. I had Pad-Thai and my wife ordered Pumpkin Gazpacho Bowl. They use some vegetables instead of meat in Pat thai and it was natural. In the Pumpkin Gazpacho, there was kimchi and mixed all kinds of veges. I thought it was just mixed soup or something like that first, but ma wife enjoyed it. The waiter was calm and seemed a nice person. Interesting place."

"I had a really nice dinner here. The place is very small and intimate. It's a great place to go when you are craving a casual Thai dinner. The staff are all incredibly nice. Our food came out quickly and was pretty good!Pad See Ew (with beef): 9/10I have struggled to find good pad see ew in this city. Now I've found a good one! Most restaurants make it far too sweet, but this was perfect. The flavor was on point and the noodles were perfectly chewy. Highly recommend this dish for a sweeter noodle. The beef was also very good not too fatty or chewy.Crispy spring rolls: 8/10The spring rolls were nice and crispy. They have vermicelli noodles in them, which I liked. Overall though nothing crazy unique about them.Spicy Thai basil fried rice: 9/10I really enjoyed this fried rice! It was very similar to the flavors of the Drunken Noodle but with rice. It was spicy enough to have a kick but definitely not overpowering. If you like spice a lot you would probably want more.My one issue was the egg on top was over hard. It wasn't sunny side up or over easy. I wanted the yolk to ooze over the rice and add more flavor, but sadly that didn't happen."
