Baya Bar - Acai & Smoothie Shop 9417 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

"These smoothies are fine and the store is in a good location since the bagel place next door has a comfortable bench. But, it's all teenagers (think Carvel-level service) and they pester you for a membership. Thanks, but I don't need a membership for a smoothie place. Also, in the store and outside it, they blast terrible KTU-type dance music, very irritating. One star for the atmosphere is too generous."

"1st time ordering, place looks awesome from the outside. The presentation of the immune boosting juice is absolutely disgusting. This is a container for a dipping sauce, not a juice, $4.50 for something that looks like it’s going to get me sick just by touching it. This is really what you serve people!? I also paid $1.00 extra on my acai bowl for what appears to look like one strawberry. One of the five pieces of strawberry was brown and mushy. Also paid another $1.00 for 6 pieces of banana. I live 5 minutes away and the bowl was melted when I got it. This tiny bowl was almost $14. I’ve worked plenty of food service jobs including making acai bowls and I can’t imagine serving this to a customer. Not sure if your staff are just high school kids, but either way, please teach your employees better. Unfortunately the bowl wasn’t very good and I won’t be ordering again."

"Not typically one to write negative reviews, but my experience here was so subpar, I was truly just shocked! I wrote it off as maybe a bad day (maybe a newbie training, off day for the cashier, etc.) but the food quality just wasn’t there and the rude attitude was a little much. The quality for the price just didn’t live up to the hype. There are so many businesses around that I love supporting, unfortunately this one just missed the mark."

"It’s so yummy. I had the kale smoothie. I needed to keep my insides going and got the kale smoothie. No regrets. Just wish I was rich you have this once a day."

"Ordered 2 smoothies. The berry berry acai and the kale smoothie. Both were very good and tasty. This was my first time here and I will be returning. Place was very clean and smelled amazing ! The staff was very nice and helpful ! The menu has so many options ! I will definitely be returning !"
