Healthiest smoothy I ever had! Pineapple, mango, spirulina, dulse, wheatgrass, Ginger, Cayenne, etc. Packed with powerful nutrients! Expensive though she you will spend some time waiting but if you are into health and quality nutrition... The smoothy rocks.
I'd been meaning to stop for years as I was curious as to what was inside. Wonders indeed! Velma, yes we are on a first name basis after just one visit, is a treasure all by herself. She is an amazing cook and knows about health foods from different countries and has such a variety to chose from. I knew I was going to come out with a freshly made smoothie but after she started telling me about the jerk chicken not our politicians that she had cooked late the night before I just had to sample it. Then came the chicken curry with fresh veggies stir fried with onion and garlic. Wow what a feast! I had her make more for me to take home and more smoothie to go too. If you are into health foods, then you need to check out this store. It's only a block off of rt 611 on rt 940
You want a smoothie or a fruit juice. As you're driving by this place, you see a sign exclaiming 'Juice bar now open!', so you stop in. At the door, you realize this isn't your typical juice joint, but you play along anyway. The soft spoken, older woman makes small talk with you as she really takes her time making you a drink by blending frozen fruit. Then she asks you for anywhere from $10 to $15 dollars for each; the price is not posted anywhere. It cost us 30 minutes of our time and nearly $40 to get three blended juices. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend going here for the 'juice bar'.
Stopped in because advertising smoothies. Walking in, it was just a lot of clutter. The lady running the place is very nice but made us smoothies which we asked for and then she talked us into a spinach patty. The counter in the back was also cluttered with a young man, asleep at the other counter. The smoothie was good and patty was ok, alittle greasy. At the counter to pay, she told us 36$ I thought she said 13$. Never going back!!
Ask for exact cost before ordering!!! Definitely an experience! Spent about an hour waiting for the shakes to be made. Interesting conversation. Ended up being extorted out of $43 for a small and a large smoothie. Though this isn't your regular smoothie place.
finally visited after passing it for so many years and wondering what the deal washow ironic It was everything and more than I thought it would be, but the best part of the experience was talking with Velma. She was so generous and knowledgeable, on top of the fact there was such a variety to choose from in the store. I can’t wait to go back:
Paid $36 for 2 smoothies that tasted like soap. Shop items are natural and holistic but 2x the price of anything anywhere else. Not going back. Dumped both smoothies out.
If your like me and have passed by this place wondering what’s up turn around immediately and head back there and meet Velma and let her cook some love for you. I could live here. Not sure if the people of Mount Pocono know what they have so close to them. Only thing I hate about this place is it’s in Pennsylvania and I live in Connecticut. Vilma grows all her own organic vegetables year round either herself or thru farm shares and gets all her proteins free range / grass fed / humanely raised working out of a tiny little kitchen in the back of this incredible health food store. Wow wow wow and nom nom nom. So you think you’ve had Jerk Chicken before?? Trust me you have not. Drooling just thinking about the leftovers I have for lunch today. Drooling. Can’t wait until work sends me back to this area as there is no way on earth I’m going anywhere else. Word to the wise thou this isn’t a quick take out place. If you’ve got thirty minutes for lunch order ahead although you will miss out on talking to Velma and that’s something you honestly don’t want to do. Then you won’t get samples of these insanely delicious candied coconut strips of goodness or homemade organic apple cider vinegar that tastes like champagne. Everything is real. Nothing is from a box. Only thing from a can is olive oil. All the herbs are raised and ground and dried by her. Only employee there too. Had such an incredible conversation with her about food and life while she cooked me this meal words can’t do justice to. Definitely definitely definitely don’t pass this gem by. So so jealous of the residents of this area.
Val is a fun lady. Great food great jerk chicken and great vegetarian food come and try it
Amazing place for all of your natural and organic products. Also great if you don't like to take medicine, like myself. She has tons of natural remedies. Great place to get all natural smoothies and all of your health kick goodies.
