Raw Smoothie Co was making all-organic açaí bowls before it was cool. The organic green smoothie purveyors have long been a bright spot on North Howard Avenue. Veteran-owned and operated by roomates-turned-business partners James Rue and Gian Birriel, this business offers vibrant indulgences you can feel good about.
Each bowl and smoothie is crafted with only organic ingredients and they’re loaded with a full serving whole greens, whole fruit, and omega-rich seeds. For parents of children less inclined to indulge in veggies, this smoothie shop may be your new favorite spot for a bite to eat.
