Excited to try a healthy alternative for lunch as I ordered a salmon bowl with rice/quinoa. The rice is over cooked to the point that it’s hard as ROCKS !!! I cannot enjoy this meal and with it being a bowl and everything is mixed I cannot enjoy the salmon, corn , veggies , without having to separate the horrible rice. I called to complain and the women answers the phone with a loud noise in the background expecting me to hear. I had to educate her and say “why not walk away from the noise so that I can hear you” You would think that in 2023 the level of service would be better. I want a refund asap

NU kitchen is my go-to breakfast spot & a group-order favorite for business brunch orders. When dining in, I never leave here feeling shamefully sluggish after consuming a 4000 calorie dessert posing as a breakfast. Their ingredients are fresh, tasty & wholesome. I have so many breakfast favorites here: their vegan “just egg” sandwich, beetroot latte, muesli overnight oats, & acai bowls are just to name a few.

The staff was super friendly and there’s a lot of vegetarian and vegan options too so that’s great! You can even veganize stuff that isn’t which is also super cool.

What an incredible morning delight! Finally had my first vegan waffle and boy was it delicious. Every bite was a perfect blend of soft and crunchy. Huge props to one of the servers who made it – she absolutely nailed it. What made the waffle even better was that the individual grains and superfoods could be felt and tasted. In addition, the chocolate fudge sauce complemented the sweetness of the granola and maple syrup. ***important note: the waffle is good enough for two people – I had trouble finishing the entire thing and I consider myself a heavy eater ***

I was there for a special event, and it was closed to the public at that time. The array of food was extensive, and all quite good.

I went in looking to get a smoothie with some protein in it & hoping it would have different varieties. Now it does have different types of smoothies veggie , fruit & protein smoothies. I was going to get a whey protein smoothie but then I asked what kind of protein they had, & unfortunately they only had vanilla which does not really taste as good in smoothies as I take chocolate whey protein myself. Which surprised me as most smoothies places have a different variety of smoothies like vanilla chocolates strawberry & even the plant based protein. I ended up getting a regular fruit smoothie which was great don’t get me wrong tasted great but wasn’t what I really wanted. I also got a buffalo kale chicken wrap & it was actually really good had a real nice kick to it & also appreciated the whole wheat wrap. All in all this place has great service, good food & great smoothies, hopefully tho they do get other flavor whey proteins & then I would consider giving this place a 5 star.

Salad was good . However added short ribs, which was thin an overcooked. Did not get the value. Had one of their juices it was ok but not worth the high price, which almost equal to my meal. I do not believe they have good ventilation, because my clothing smelled like their kitchen when I got home. Interesting menu, good idea, poorly executed.

I had a great experience here. Breakfast sandwich with bacon egg and cheese on ciabatta was amazing and coffee was good. The inside is very large and comfortable as well.
