XOOM

The only Acai sorbet with granola that we had outside of Brazil. It was pretty good but a bit overpriced.
If you are in the area and want something cold to eat or drink this is a good place to check out, but it’s not worth coming all the way here just for a bite.

Nice, clean looking space. It has a small seating area with two bar stools and a tiny counter facing the window/​street, and two lower, colorful, and comfy chairs surrounding a silver coffee table.
I had the chai latte. Yummy. It was sweet, favorful and had a lot of body. However, it was also $ 4.50 — this is Starbucks kind of money. They only have one size as well. I personally couldn’t finish that much latte. Maybe if they had a smaller size for less money, I would consider coming here more often.
They also have a huge menu full of smoothies. I tried their «apple pie in the sky» smoothie — soymilk, banana, apples, granola, cinnamon, almonds, frozen yogurt. It had a very thick consistency, and looked like oatmeal (both in color and texture). It also tasted like oatmeal, good, hearty oatmeal. Once again, however, the serving size was huge. It is hard to drink that much thick smoothie in one sitting. It also doesn’t stay too long, so you can’t save it for later.
All in all, delicious, but the large sizes and prices make this place a little less desirable.

yummy pie in the sky smoothie, service was fast and friendly.
tip: they have a 50% off coupon on scoutmob!

Smoothies are a staple in my diet and these ones, while decent, are nothing to rave about. Despite many flavors they pretty much all tasted the same and not that much different from Jamba or other more corporate chains.
What really turned me off was the lack of packaging. They had no bags whatsoever. I asked if they thought it was reasonable I just carry 4 smoothies by hand; no answer for that one. The lids don’t close fully (large hole in the top where the straw goes and I mean really large not the plastic X on normal cups) so even with bags transportation would be a hassle. Finally they found an egg carton type carrier which was very inefficient since I had to use two hands while carrying other stuff too.
I think this place is ok to buy one smoothie for immediate consumption– anything more becomes a major hassle.

I love the Almond Chai! So yummy and comforting… and filling! These smoothies make a great breakfast or snack.
The space is super tiny, but they work fast and are very friendly! Worth a try for something refreshing and wholesome on the go!
Will be back.

I usually wait after a couple of times to post a review but I won’t be going back. The smoothie was ok, nothing to write home about. I’m spoiled for choice in this part of town.
The service was horrible. The lady working there on Saturday afternoon made me feel like I was interrupting her time on the computer after I entered. The conversation went like this. She said 3 words to me: «yes?»; «sure»; «here».

I’m surprised to see so many overwhelmingly positive reviews. I tried 3 or 4 different items and they were all completely bland. How can a drink have several different types of fruit (in the middle of the summer, mind you, so they can’t even claim that it’s out of season), and end up not tasting like any of them? Incredible amounts of disappointing.

Best smoothie I ever had (and I’m not easily placated). This place has infinitesimal ingredients and add-​ins (acai, espresso, everything you can imagine and not get at jamba) in numerous combinations with unlimited substituting – if you know what you like smoothie perfection is unavoidable. The prices are great, people are friendly. I only wish this place were in my neck of the woods (uptown). Recommended: spoon smoothie with double acai (+ spirulina for a kick) & granola – yum!

Thanks to the Tastes of the East Village tour from the Dealist, I was able to get a large Gimme Grapefruit smoothie for only $ 3! It has grapefruit juice, strawberries, and pineapples. YUM! The smoothie also wasn’t too sweet. Woohoo.
The wait for your smoothie can be a bit long, but worth the wait.

Ehh. I’m not jumping up and down about it. It’s good, not great. $ 6 or $ 7 for a smoothie is a little much. My biggest con is the layout. So cramped! They have a TON of space for perp area and can seat three people. Free Wifi, but where am I going to sit?

I like smoothies; I like cupcakes more but sometimes I throw in some healthy stuff just to confuse my body at times…
The area is nice, a block away you have a big park to go finish your smoothie, right next door you have the best cupcakes to accompany your drink, window shopping all over the neighborhood is another possibility while you stay cool with XOOM, and so on and on…
The girl behind the counter was not friendly; not mean but definitely not nice or smart for that matter.
Drinks I’ve tried that I would order again:
The Hangover — Orange juice, banana, apple, and oat bran
Smashing Strawberry — Banana, apple, and strawberries
Apple pie in the sky — I am not sure but it taste like pie in a drink, I promise!
Drinks i would NOT order again: ANYTHING with Guava Juice… while I understand i may just not like that juice, I fail to realize how anyone else could like it mixed in a drink: vomit:

Xoom uses lychee juice as a base, which is delightfully unusual. Their smoothies are a full meal. My favorite item is actually their honeycomb. Buy one, eat it with a spoon and you’ll never go back to squeeze bottle honey.

This place was a part of the «Taste of 7^th Street» event so it was mighty crowded when my friend and I got here. Being too chaotic for me to look at the menu properly, I simply went after one of my favorite go to flavors when I’m indecisive (mango) and chose something called «Yo La Mango» consisting of only guava juice, bananas, and mango.
I happen to like smoothies and I found that the version that they make here is pleasantly not overly sweet tasting. There are too many smoothies out there that is just too sweet for my non-​sweet tooth preference. Here is one that isn’t and the taste of the fruits shines through because of it. If everything else is like the Yo La Mango taste wise, then I think I might actually prefer this place over Jamba Juice by a little bit. I like Jamba Juice a lot so that is saying something.

Came here for the «Taste of 7^th Street» and was really happy to see how big a cup the smoothie is although it is 30 degrees out. I got the Protein Titan which has blueberry, protein mix, Banana and other yummy stuff. MY boyfriend got the Apple Pie in the Sky and it totally tastes like Apple Pie!
The smoothie here normally costs about $ 5.5 per cup but if you want something refreshing and feel healthy, this is definitely worth it.

Delicious! I first heard about Xoom through Groupon and I’m so glad that I bought the coupon. It’s easy to find a vegan juice anywhere (it’s not like chicken fat is a common ingredient in a carrot juice), but some juice bars only offer soy milk as the non-​dairy milk. While I love me some soy, I prefer to have almond milk in my smoothie, and I LOVE that Xoom even has vegan frozen yogurt (So Delicious) that they put in smoothies instead of just saying «I can just leave out the yogurt» like a lot of places do. I had the acerola and guava smoothie and it was marvelous. I can’t wait to go back to have another.
I also spoke with a woman who I think was the manager and she was very friendly. She was aware of the vegan community (mentioned the vegan bake sale for Haiti fundraiser) and even said she donated a gift card to the fundraiser. Nice work, Xoom!

I first heard about Xoom from Groupon, and I went in tonight to redeem one of my coupons. I was at first overwhelmed by the options, and asked for some recommendations. I decided on a berry based smoothie, and was not disappointed! First of all, it was HUGE. Although they’re not cheap, $ 5.75 without the groupon, they’re worth your buck. I would probably come back regardless of the coupon. If you get some protein and granola going on in there, that’s a legit meal, or at least a start. I slurped mine down so fast I suffered from a minor brain freeze. And with the cold and wind, that wasn’t so fun… But I still kept drinking it anyway.

I’ve been waiting for a smoothie joint to open near my apartment and my dream came true! I enjoy smoothies and it’s very exciting to welcome XOOM in the neighborhood to satisfy my fruity cravings! *_*
They opened for free sampling today with an in house DJ and tons of energy! That’s what I like about the East Village, it’s always energetic and it’s definifely exciting to be here. :)
There are so many different smoothies to choose from. The menu is filled with goodies with creative names like the Floo Fighter, which I’m sure many people are in need of lately :) They also have like granola bowls and lattés. You can add nuts/​oats/​granola to any drink :) Sometimes I do feel a little overwhelmed with too much selection but I think I may be handle this one. :)
I love that they have a kids menu, which would be perfect for my grown-​up kid preferences although it does specify for those who are 12 $ under. @_^
I’m so excited to use my $ 1 off coupon I received today! Hooray for smoothies! ^_^
