Balanced - PLAISTOW

The smoothies were sooooo good, cute little spot too. We plan to go back tomorrow for breakfast. It took a while for 2 smoothies but I think the poor girl was alone! I will update tomorrow after the food! Great Job Balanced!

When we entered the restaurant, it was empty. Despite calling out multiple times, no one emerged from the back until a young man explained that they were understaffed. We attempted to order two smoothies, but were informed that they did not have vegan protein or vanilla whey protein. Consequently, we had to change our order, only to discover that some of the other ingredients were also unavailable. The young man took an additional 25 minutes to prepare the smoothies, as he was engaged in conversation with his colleagues rather than attending to us. When my wife asked for a refund, he hastily blended the drinks but left them chunky. It was disappointing that a restaurant catering to health-conscious individuals did not have basic protein options available.

I've become a regular here, my mma buddy brendon operates it. Fantastic toasts and smoothies. Would highly recommend trying the Athens and power toasts.

Good vibe, like most health-food places. Yesterday I got an açaí bowl that was pretty small for the price and the smoothie part was frozen solid, which was not ideal. Today I gave them a shot at redemption, and got a grain bowl that was? fine, other than instead of an actual grain it was WHITE RICE with some veggies on top. I guess I should have read the menu more closely, but in my experience grain bowls are usually whole grains or quinoa. Overall, food felt rushed and underwhelming for the price, but at least it?s a healthy option and the cashiers were polite and pleasant both times.

I ordered an açaí bowl and it was missing two toppings. I am quite understanding and would have appreciated a phone call if the toppings were not available instead of receiving an incomplete order. I also ordered a Caesar salad that was overly saturated in dressing. There was so much dressing on it that I couldn't even eat it. I suggest serving all dressings on the side so customers can control the amount they use. I am disappointed that I had to pay for missing items and an excessive amount of Caesar dressing, which prevented me from fully enjoying my order.
