Imagine it’s a Friday and you’re walking the avenue after school with your friends. You’re looking for somewhere to sit before the weight of your backpack takes you down. And that’s when you notice it: Barvida. The place everyone has been semi-obsessed about.
The moment you step in you understand the hype. The atmosphere immediately pulls you in. From the invigorating LED light signs to the all black interior, every detail will catch an eye. The small smoothie store feels both cozy and elegant. Every little detail inside this shop has been carefully chosen for your pleasure.
The store may be aesthetically pleasing, but do the smoothies deliver? Short answer: yes. Each and every drink has an ingredients list so you really know what you are getting yourself into. From coconut milk to almond butter, each element is chosen to please both your taste buds and your craving for something filling and healthy. Some highly recommended smoothies are the Berry Best, the Morning Show if you’re into protein, and my personal favorite, the Perfect Combo.
If you’re not a fan of blended drinks, you can still enjoy a delicacy from Barvida. There’s a wide selection of foods, juices, and hot and iced drinks to choose from. If the idea of waiting inside of Barvida doesn’t excite you, they do in fact deliver. You can also order online for an easy pickup.
This is not a one and done kind of place; once you try Barvida, you too will have become semi-obsessed. Greenwich can officially be done being jealous of Los Angeles’s Erewhon smoothies.
