Bliss Juices And Ice Cream

Incredible crepes and smoothies from the lovely people at Manakeesh. Must try!

I came in for the first time. This place is awesome. The milk base is great. The fruit is fresh and flavorful. I asked them to put a little extra ice and just a little sugar and my smoothie came out perfect! Ice cold and not too sweet. I will be back :).

Bliss has so many options, you really cannot be disappointed. I crafted my own smoothie, and it is just what I needed!
From carrots to kale to berries and mangoes…
Thank you Bliss for not charging more than $ 4.75 for this cup of joy!

A friend bought two smoothies on Tuesday, and we shared them amongst ourselves. I’d describe the smoothies as watery berry bits. Even for the inexpensive price, I felt like we had been cheated because the ‘smoothie’ was very bland and runny. I like Manakeesh, but will not be giving Bliss another chance.

Bliss is okay. The do crepes, ice cream, and smoothies. All are decent. None are mind numbing good. The bonus is that it’s the same owners as Manakeesh. You get go there get some good grub and pastries, and if someone in your party wants something from Bliss, it’s all connected. And, in the immediate area, it’s your best ice cream and crepes option.
So, if heading over to Baltimore to get some goodness called Little Baby’s is more than you want to walk, Bliss will do.

I’ve heard good things about the smoothies at Bliss and was excited to try it with a friend earlier today as a midday snack on a hot «what-​felt-​like-​summer» day.
I’ve had better smoothies. The selection was extensive– tons of fruits to choose from for your smoothie. I opted for the strawberry, mango, pineapple, banana combo after the woman behind the counter recommended that combination to me. I chose the milk base.
Overall, I was not really impressed with the flavors. The fruit flavors weren’t super rich and tasty, and I was disappointed by the fact that the smoothie was not cool and cold.
My friend got strawberries, avocado and blueberries with a yogurt base. This one was slightly colder than mine, but the yogurt flavor was just too overpowering for me to actually enjoy the flavors.
Most likely wouldn’t come back, just because I think there’s nothing too special about the flavors.

Went on this side to check them out and the lady at the register was not inviting, not even a little bit; must of been a bad day for her or someone kicked her cat because it looked difficult for her to crack a slight smile. Smh
I was not impressed with the set up of the place or any options of whatever was available. I saw some sweet treats to the side of the entrance that I thought looked yummy; WRONG! They were weird, hard and very bland. Idk, I just didn’t like them and I’ll leave it at that!!!

Edit:
A part of Maneekeesh café! OMG look at the beautiful desserts!!!
I came when it first had a grand opening. I cant wait to go back and really try some of their unusual diversifications that Ive never seen before. Yayayayaya! I do remember their stuff fits my taste buds.

Delicious ice cream, outside seating, nice-​ish enough service.
Pralines and cream and cookie dough ice cream. Yum Yum Yum. Outdoor seating for those perfect summer nights. I am in love.

The couple smoothies that I have tasted here were decent, though I don’t know if it’s good value because I was’t the one paying. Fyi: I think there’s a smoothie discount special on Tuesdays here. What I’d like to see here is some information about where the fruit and dairy products come from because that’s a big factor for when I’m deciding whether or not to buy a smoothie.

This one gets a mediocre rating from me only because my personal experience there at the time. The guy behind the counter was pretty much the only one when there were about three or four of us ordering at the time. I think my friend and I were standing for a good 20 minutes before we finally got what we ordered. Occasionally, two different women came around to help him out, but I think he was in a bad mood, and was kinda yelling at them. Not really the best environment I wish to be in as a customer.
I ordered a Nutella crêpe, which was really good! Had to hunt someone down for a fork, because there were zero utensils at their little station by the napkins… It was also a little loud, but I’ll blame that one on the patrons at the time… especially the kids that were running around. So, while I did enjoy the crêpe, I honestly couldn’t wait to get the hell out.

Honestly, the crepes were fantastic, but the service was miserable.
I am definitely coming back for the smoked salmon crêpe and the nutella crêpe, but on a day where I have nothing else to do but wait on a confused staff O:).
In all seriousness though, for the price, that was the best smoked salmon crêpe I’ve had.

I got an ice cream cone here. The ice cream was completely freezer burnt. It was gummy and disgusting. I had to throw it out.
Sorry, guys. I want to love you, I want to love you as much as I love Manakeesh, but there is something wrong with your ice cream freezer.

I recently came back and had their Beirut Sunshine, one of the Specialty Lebanese cocktails.
Overflowing with freshly cut tropical fruits and topped with really tasty Lebanese cream, it was very refreshing and delicious. The $ 6 I paid for it wasn’t cheap, but it is large enough to share between 2 people, and they make it to order right in front of you. I was so full by the time I finished it.
The place has a bright and friendly atmosphere, complemented by very friendly service. I can’t wait to come back again to try more smoothies and fruit cocktails!
