About

KIWI is Samara's spot for fresh salads, grain bowls and smoothies when you need a break from the usual soda fare. The green energy bowl and hot honey chicken salad get named again and again, the dressings are clearly homemade from scratch, and there's homemade kombucha too. Elizabeth and the team run a friendly counter with a shaded patio, and even the kids clean their plates.

A Hidden Gem for Healthy Delights! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing salad and smoothie bar, and I can’t say enough good things about it! The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The variety of healthy options available, from delicious smoothies to fresh salads and homemade kombucha, is impressive. Elizabeth, who took care of our orders, was incredibly attentive and friendly. She made sure we had everything we needed and her passion for healthy eating truly shines through. My kids loved everything we tried—it's rare to find a place where they actually enjoy nutritious food! This place is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in healthy yet tasty options. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! Highly recommended!

This is the perfect place to stop at if you’re craving healthy salads, bowls, and unique smoothies. Samara has been lacking in this department so it was exciting to see a place like this pop up. I had green energy bowl with chicken and it was super fresh and flavorful. The dressing was incredible and clearly homemade from scratch. There’s also a very nice, shaded patio and very friendly staff. Highly recommended!
