Cafe 520 - Piscataway

I ordered a bowl with protein powder, expecting it to be mixed in. Instead, I received a bowl with a thick layer of protein powder on top, covered with toppings. It was impossible to mix it without transferring it to another bowl. This was very unappetizing and confusing. Who would eat straight protein powder with a spoon?

Could it be considered crazy to say that this is the most underrated spot in Piscataway? Not many people know about this hidden gem located inside the YMCA, but their food is incredibly tasty and fresh. Their açai bowls and smoothies are both refreshing and delicious, making them perfect for the summer. And I know this might sound crazy, but their chicken tenders might just be the best I've ever had. They're perfectly crispy, juicy, and tender all at once. I would definitely recommend checking this place out, especially if you're at the Y hanging out or at the gym looking for a treat afterwards.

Amazing food and fantastic service at this restaurant! The juices and acai bowls are delicious, and the pizza and empanadas come highly recommended. I go there three days a week because it's that good!

Although you need a membership to use the facilities inside the YMCA, anyone can come in and get their snack fix (workout optional). We been eyeing this place for a while, since its local and easy to get to (and find parking). They also offer pick up and delivery for your convenience. Its a small cafe, but offers a little bit of all the essentials. They sell pizzas, empandas, burgers, fries... as well healthy juice bar and variety drink options. But their main feature is the acai bowls acai, pitahaya or coconut base options. There's a handful of pre built choices (loaded with fruits, granola, nutella or peanut butter) or create your own. Quick and efficient and beautifully prepared... our Berrytella and Dragon Kiwi bowls came out fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back, and might even convince me to actually use the gym.

New place, friendly people, and amazing smoothies !! will be coming back here more often
