Vela is our favorite go-to in the neighborhood. She’s so nice, friendly and makes everything with love. All the ingredients are fresh. Our go-to items are the açaí bowl with almond butter, the avocado smoothie with the other fruits is so good as well! We’ve pretty much been trying different items and it’s always good. Thanks Vela!

By far my favorite smoothie/juice/açaí spot. I’ve been to a lot of smoothie spots not just in New York, New Jersey also. I’ve yet to find another spot that replicate how great their smoothies taste. Great service and team is super kind.
