Aside from offering classic fruity smoothies, the Smoothie Room serves various vegetable and fruit juices, organic teas and wheatgrass.
The fruit and vegetable juice bar was not only clean, the workers attitude and assistance were impressive. The employees offered friendly assistance, explaining the menu and served the drinks to one’s table, a gesture atypical compared to other smoothie places.
Although the menu has an assortment of items to choose from, one cannot go wrong with a fruit smoothie. More specifically, the Berry Dose, ($4.99 for a 16 oz. drink and $5.99 for 20 oz.) which includes apple, blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and banana. As for a vegetable juice, one might try the Pineapple Cleanse ($4.99 for 16 oz. and $5.99 for 20 oz.) consisting of pineapple, celery, ginger and hemp seed oil. Some of the extra items on the menu are chia seeds, acai and coconut oil for $1. Shots of ginger or wheatgrass (I oz shot for $1.99, 2 oz shot for $3.99) are also available.
Located in the Sodo Target shopping center, the open air room has a calming and comfortable atmosphere. The room is modernly decorated with paintings along the walls, plenty of seating and a large television.
Besides a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service, the Smoothie Room has a plentiful and healthy menu to choose from, leaving a customer satisfied and refreshed.
