This is a hidden gem. If not for google, as a tourist, I wouldn't find it on my own. But I am so happy I gave it a try. If you are looking for a place where you can get a healthy snack - this is it. Their fruit bowls are amazing and at the time only $5! They can custom make it for you, if you don't like certain fruits. And make sure to try their passionfruit juice.

I love this place. I come every time I am in Ponce. I have been here now several times. The smoothies, juices are all so good because he uses the freshest fruits. He’s such a nice guy too. It’s a family business and they have been around for over 30 years. The spot is also adorable. This is one of those hidden gems people look for.
