Smooth Monkey

Service was great! The employee was super friendly and helpful, asked how ginger-y I wanted it, asked if i wanted mix of coconut water and apple juice or just one or the other. Asked if i wanted onion to make it sweeter. Smoothie was super yummy!! All blended and no chunks the painting in there were too cute. Def a stop in Charlotte you can't miss.

I have been dying to try this place for a while and was in the area today so I was excited to stop in! I am not sure what if I was 100% prepared for this place. First I will start off by saying the staff was very friendly!!! That was the biggest positive I can give for this place. Overall it was not super clean, product everywhere etc. if you are expecting fresh fruit and bright fresh açaí bowls I hate to say it... but this ain't it. Everything seemed to be canned or in some sort or large container... all of the açaí bases were frozen and iced over. I had the pineapple bowl which was okay... again nothing that really wowed me. The base of my bowl was ice cold with ice crystals and tasted like it was made a few days ago (may not have been but just in my opinion). I just feel like this place is missing the mark. Also is a weird combination for a Delta 8/ CBD shop combo as well which I was not aware of prior which also may have blurred my feelings of this place. I just wish it was cleaner and that the fruits used were fresh and not bulk canned items.... Nothing screams fresh food like giant Great Value Apple juice cans when you walk in.... But as always go try it for yourself!

I've been here a few times and each time they have delivered! The guy making our bowls had so much personality and was super friendly! He customized our bowls and they were stacked!! Also found it cool that they sell their açaí! I make a lot of bowls at home so I'd love to support them versus buying the one in the grocery store!

One of the joys of healthy eating is that it can be sweet, too! This hip, trendy shop specializes in smoothies and açai bowls made with natural and fresh ingredients. You must give them a try! There are over 15 smoothie choices and a variety of açai bowls. Call this shop the perfect break from the fried foods and heavy starches we know and love.In addition to the great healthy options, they also have an excellent staff who are knowledgeable about their menu items and do not mind answering questions about their ingredients or the shop in general. Items I've Tried: NESTLE CRUNCH- Banana, Milk, Nutella, CocoPowder, Honey, and Granola - Perfect for cocoa lovers. The granola is the perfect addition as it provides a healthy crunch to the smoothie - MUST TRY. FRUIT ROLL UP - Peach, Pineapple, Strawberry Plant Protein Powder, Apple Juice or Coconut, Water Açai - Fruity goodness - MUST TRY. PINEAPPLE BOWL (available in 2 sizes, small - 16oz, and large- 32.oz.)- fresh pineapple, açai base, topped with granola, sliced strawberry, blueberry, kiwi, mango, and pineapple. - ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. - Natural sweetness and flavors - MUST TRY.

Had a great time here. The customer service was great and helpful being my first time. They asked and provided me samples of items I was interested in trying. They also made helpful suggestions because on what I like and did not like. They were very friendly to everyone that walked in, old or new customers. There was not much indoor seating but many people took their items with them. There are some outdoor seating but it was a cold day to sit outside. I order the Mango Açaí Bowl with addition peanut butter. The added peanut butter was a great addition and set the bow off! Ordered the small portion size and seemed like the large with how loaded the bowl was with ingredients. The bowl was very delicious and I'm definitely going back!

I stopped by Smooth Monkey before I left Charlotte. By the end of my bowl I was sad that I waited! It was so freakin good! The place is decorated in cool paintings and drawings of you guessed it, monkeys. The açaí bases were so good I couldn't decide between the mango and the one with watermelon so the guy suggested we do both. It was the best decision! I called myself getting a small taste before pulling off to leave and I ended up eating the whole bowl in the parking lot!

This is a takeout spot for smoothies and açaí bowls. The gentlemen working were very friendly. They offered samples after I stated I was a first timer. This place has different flavors of the day. There was unique monkey artwork displayed inside. But overall the food... I ordered a pineapple açaí bowl. My bowl rated a 10/10. If any single blueberry wasn't fresh the gentleman tossed it instead of adding to my bowl. I'm adding this one to the regular rotation.

In the heart of my favorite neighborhood in Charlotte... Plaza Midwood. Very busy neighborhood so tight parking lot. The interior gives off very 80s vibes and it's a cool place to sit relax and listen to music. The acai and smoothies are made out of fresh fruit and ingredients. There are many different bases to choose from and they do not skimp out. A small is enough for me. There are plenty of menu options. The staff is super nice, welcoming and cool to talk to. Great alternate for a healthy snack or for breakfast. This place is definitely worth a visit!

Açaí bowl was amazing and outdoor tables were nice to sit at. Music was a bit loud and made it difficult to hear workers.

Proper smoothies. Massive size and a unique variety of options. Small and fun decor, perfect small business experience.
