Fresh? Absolutely! Vegan? Yes! Vegetarian? Yes! Gluten Free? Oh yes! I have been a regular since the doors opened. I can tell you I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered! I typically get the chicken salad of the day over the green bed and the infused water. Very clean eating that leaves you feeling satisfied without the processed food ick.

Visited a couple times with my husband and always enjoy the experience. The owner and their staff are always sweet with amazing service. Would definitely recommend their mango tango and banana berry blast smoothie or their garden salad! Can’t wait to keep coming back to try even more of their fantastic menu.

We absolutely love this place! Every time we are near Bambu Café we stop in! The ingredients are so incredibly fresh and crisp! The owner remembers is every time and asks how we are doing! If you are in the area, you need to stop! Get a Smoothie or a Chicken Salad sandwich... Or really whatever you want! No matter what you get, I guarantee it's fresh and delicious!

Fresh, healthy ingredients. Great service. Juices, smoothies, goodies and some food items are always on the menu. The rest of the menu is rotating, keeping the choices new and fresh. They post their menu updates on facebook. One of the best lunch spots in Winter Haven.

Very clean airy and open feeling. They were unfortunately out of the rotisserie chicken salad so I ordered the sweet pepper tuna salad on a croissant with an Island Cooler juice. The food was made very quickly and was quite good. For the price of the sandwich, it should have included veggie spears as a complimentary side instead of an extra charge. I will return and I'm anxious to try their cabbage roll soup!

This place is excellent treasure in Winter Haven! I have been here only twice and I am hooked. I will continue to visit as they have great options for everyone. I tried the 5 Karat Gold Juice and the Beetle Juice, both are great!! I got the Green Jeans for a couple skeptical co-workers and they loved it.. My boss asked me to place an order for the staff next week...so I'll be back again soon!!

I had an interesting experience here, it's a very quaint and modern place that is clean and cool in the Florida heat. I had the chicken salad on a toasted croissant. The chicken salad was made with banana peppers that I was able to sample before committing to an order. The ladies there were very helpful and patient with all of my questions. I tried the mango tango smoothie that was okay but the food was pretty incredible. I look forward to going back and trying something new on the menu and bringing more people with me!

This place is a great, refreshing stop. They have some amazing fresh smoothies, made with real fruit and healthy add-ons like ginger, turmeric and protein to name a few. Also have fresh squeezed juices. For some edibles they have sandwiches and soups or if you want something a little lighter they have protein scoops of chicken or tuna. I love the Mango Tango smoothie.
