Myapapaya

Such a cute place! Absolutely love the freshness and health focus / intention behind the menu. Highly recommend if you care about what you put into your mouth. This place is awesome! I have to come back to try the smoothies – they look so good! I got the falafel wrap and my mom got the grilled chicken and sweet potato with chimichurri. She said “by far the best chimicburri she’s had.” AND SHES BRAZILIAN! Don’t skip out on this place. #notsponsored

Healthy, fresh, quick. An awesome spot for smoothies, açaí bowls, sandwiches, and bowls. You order up front and take a number to sit down. Lovely spots on the water with shade if it’s not too hot. The sweet potato bowl was delicious and mixed up well with ingredients that compliment each other. Staff was great, it can be hard to find a table if busy. Definitely want to come back and continue trying the rest of the menu!

Myapapaya is a standout dining spot known for its exceptionally fresh and high-quality food. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast or settling in for lunch or dinner, the offerings here consistently impress. One of the must-try dishes at Myapapaya is the California Bison Burger. It's simply outstanding—packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, it's a dish I highly recommend for anyone looking for a satisfying meal. Equally impressive is their Acai Bowl, which is not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making it a refreshing choice that I strongly recommend as well. The restaurant itself has a nice, casual ambiance, making it a great spot for relaxed dining. Both the inside and outside seating areas are well-appointed, but the outdoor seating is particularly appealing as it's located by the water. This setting enhances the dining experience, offering a serene backdrop that complements the fresh, vibrant dishes served. Overall, Myapapaya is a gem in Fort Lauderdale, perfect for those who appreciate fresh, quality ingredients and well-crafted meals in a pleasant environment. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's definitely worth a visit.

Visited for the first time for lunch. We had a salad with falafel, mushroom tacos (2) that came with a small salad, a coffee smoothie (vegan) and a 250ml sparkling water. Food is flavorful and freshly prepared. Service is good, the restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating (at the front and also at the back by the water). Bathrooms were clean.

Myapapaya On The River I ordered the $16 chicken sandwich on ciabatta with walnut pesto, along with a $3 upcharge for a green side salad and a $1 upcharge for lime dressing. It’s counter service here, with a nice patio, chill music, and overall great vibes. I opted for a to-go order and enjoyed my meal at my accommodation. $22.50 total - good price considering the quality of ingredients. The chicken sandwich was seasoned to perfection. Even though it was a whole chicken breast, it retained its juiciness, resulting in an absolutely delicious bite. The ciabatta bread was fresh and provided the perfect accompaniment to the chicken. The walnut pesto was applied in just the right amount, adding a wonderful layer of flavor. The side salad came with balsamic vinaigrette, so the lime dressing I ordered and paid extra for wasn’t necessary. However, I was curious about the lime dressing and used it as a dip for the sandwich—it was the perfect touch. I don’t usually get excited about chicken sandwiches, but this one has got to be the best I’ve had in my 50+ years. If I were a local, this place would definitely be in my regular rotation. Everything was made with 100% quality, fresh ingredients. Highly recommend! Fort Lauderdale, FL

WOW! I wish I knew about this place the milli second it opened. The food was so fresh. The chimichuri skirt steak was tender and cooked perfectly. The man who checked us out convinced us to order a brownie and they were delicous then we discovered the banana bread which was even better. The boys ordered bison burgers which they loved. The food was fresh and the waterfront was so charming. This will be our new favorite place.

Didn’t even get our food, was the only ones in there in the morning and waited 40 minutes after repeatedly asking for an update. The girl would not even go back in the kitchen and ask, just ignored me and did something else. Crazy they make you pay up front left a good tip aswell without knowing what I was in for. They pretty much refused to give me the food I walked out and disputed the charge immediately. We’ll see what happens but what a nightmare

You walk in and its so peaceful and decorated really cute. The staff was so friendly and very helpful. They treated everyone like they've been coming there for years. They have dining inside, outside and on the river which was stupid cool! I love it. The food was super good and so fresh. The bread was homemade it was yummy.

Dined here recently for lunch. Cute little breakfast / lunch spot right off federal and on the intercostal. You order at the front and are given a number for your table. There are tables both inside and outside. I got the grilled chicken sandwich which was delicious. As a side you can choose between fruit salad or chips and salsa. I really enjoyed the chips and salsa. The salsa was very fresh and the chips were not stale. A must is the crushed mint lemonade. It just taste like summertime!! So refreshing!! Overall, a really cute spot for breakfast or lunch. I will definitely be back :)

Very lovely lunch on the river. Scan a QR code to order and it's delivered to your table. Shakshuka was tasty (not spicy to me?) and came with the most incredible bread. I asked for avocado instead of feta and they complied. The acai bowl was a bit pricey - $16...I felt it was lacking berries on top or some fresh fruits other than the chopped pineapple. Would have traded that for all the coconut flakes etc in the topping. Parking is a little hectic but there does seem to be plenty of space. Would return!

I really liked this place. We took a family bike ride over and sat on the water for dinner. I had the kale sweet potato bowl with blackened Mahi Mahi and really enjoyed it. My daughter had a bison burger and husband had hummus platter and something else. I would definitely return

Very fresh and delicious! Loved the smoothie and the tacos and sandwich had a lot of flavor!

I ordered the most delicious Greek salad. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and the salad was so crisp and fresh. I pass by this place all the time but have never gone in. It was a little pricey , but if you compare it to a meal from Zona Fresca or Bolay I would pick this over those choices. Parking was tough, but we finally got a spot. You go up to a counter to order and you receive a number so they can bring out your food.

I really like this restaurant. It's on the water. It's a clean restaurant. My first order was online and I came in for another meal a few days later. Thankfully, the service was consistent. The food was just as good. I liked coming in after the lunch time rush. I didn't like the parking lot the first time around 10 am. It's hard to manage since the restaurant is right off federal highway. Later times, it's a chill spot. Lots of place that you can sit in the front on the patio, inside the restaurant, or on the water. I enjoyed the lentil soup! absolutely delicious the Greek chicken wrap was tasty. the kids chicken, grilled chicken was moist and well seasoned. I appreciated the gluten-free options. I had a banana loaf as I waited for my order. It was delightful. I'll be there again next week. If it's lunch, I'll definitely have it delivered

The fruit smoothie was great. Took them 30min to make it with a mostly empty restaurant, but it tastes good. The Greek chicken wrap was well done. The right mix of flavors and textures to have an enjoyable wrap. The salsa tasted great but the chips were...tough. Thick and lacking flavor or salt, I wouldn't get the chips again. I want to try some of their other offerings but I'm hesitant to come back unless I have a lot of time on my hands based on a smoothie taking so long.

Myapapaya never disappoints! I have been here countless times, and every single time, the food is fresh and delicious. This was my first time ordering the Cali Burger over spinach, instead of on a bun, and it was outstanding. The side of fruit is always fresh, as well. We ordered using the QR code at the outside tables, but the waitress was very friendly when bringing our meals. She also brought out a bowl of water for the dogs. You can't go wrong if you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal!

Really enjoyed my 1st visit. I got an açaí bowl which was very tasty. Extremely friendly staff. Healthy breakfast, lunch & smoothie options. Options for indoor, front & back patio seating. The back is right in the canal which is so peaceful.

Decided on this restaurant when my boyfriend and I were looking for a quick and healthy meal after work. A nice view to take in while chatting was another requirement and Myapapaya seemed to meet them all. While we believed this place would be quick, it was not, but that's okay because we were able to enjoy the view while we patiently waited for our meal to be walked out to us by the waitress. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich which comes on a crusty ciabatta bread with yummy pesto and my boyfriend got the mozzarella pesto sandwich, which came highly recommended by the staff. Both sandwiches came with side options such as a fruit cup or chips and salsa, we chose the chips and salsa which were great!

Originally upset that the cashier charged me twice because their system shut down. But the manager cleared it up. Good food.

From the water view, to the friendly faces, especially the young lady taking orders VERY PATIENT! lol I keep coming back. this is my Go-to when I want a good, healthy, delicious grilled chicken sandwich. I should really try other things on the menu but mannnn this sandwich hits every time. The pesto, cheese, arugula, chicken and bread!! Everything is perfect EVERYTIME.

This place gets a LOT of hype, so I came in with very big expectations. The watermelon juice was very good, refreshing. The service was friendly. It's not really like a sit down restaurant, you order off your phone and the meal gets delivered to the table. Water is self-service....so it's definitely very casual. I got one of the quinoa bowls with tuna. I thought the tuna was going to be like sushi grade ahi tuna, but it was like....canned....tuna. The entire bowl had zero flavor and was $$$$. I'll give it another shot and try something else, but it was very disappointing.

Love the ambience here there's a lake view which is nice ,it's super clean and nice inside . There kale and quinoa salad was superb and fresh as well as the green smoothie very delicious. I will definitely be coming back and recommend this place to anyone service here was awesome .

I literally love this place. It's my healthy go to and i love that everything is organic and super clean. I always get the whole grain bowl with chicken or the tuna sandwich. I decided to switch it up for a craving and was rather disappointed with 1 size of the bison burger 2 it was so cooked it was horrible. (I asked for medium). Kind of bummed and will be back, but won't be ordering this again. Seemed like a small size for the price.

My boyfriend and I came here after the gym to grab a quick bite to eat. We weren't overly hungry, so we decided to just split a smoothie and the huevos rancheros. The food was very good! The tortilla on the bottom of the huevos rancheros was a bit burnt unfortunately, but nothing worth complaining too much about. I'd also like to mention that the service here was very good! Prices are a bit high in my opinion for what the place is, however.

This place has such good food and a great ambience! Also this cute guy who took our order which of course is a plus! There's the cutest outdoor place by some water, there's also a covered area and an inside area. And the food is clean and cleansing. I love it!

This is a great place to get some clean eats. They offer an array of raw juices and raw coconut water. They have vegan and gluten free options including some delicious desserts like peanut butter cookies and Banana walnut bread. I purchased a mahi-mahi bowl it was amazing. I will definitely be back to this restaurant. The employees were friendly and helpful. The entire place was clean and inviting with a great view of some intercoastal waterways. The only thing I thought was a little nasty was the children's booster seats AKA high chairs Were stored in the bathroom. The bathrooms were very large and handicap accessible.

ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY!! the service, ambiance, and the food were all exceptional!! I got the bison burger and a sweet potato on the side and it was the best meal I have had in a while! I love that they use fresh ingredients and the flavor of the bison burger was delicious!!! The customer service was also next level!!! They gave me some of the black bean brownie edges to try, and I loveee brownie edges in general so this dessert tasted sooo good!!! I will be back very soon. They have the cutest outdoor seating area and all items on the menu are made with such nourishing ingredients and QUALITY!!!! highly recommend a visit :)

I'm obsessed with this place. Their food is sooo good and the staff is super friendly. There's plenty of seating and it's fabulous sitting by the water. Make sure to get the strawberry shortcake smoothie, wish I could drink one everyday :)

Looking for something fresh and light? Check and check. This spot gives me perfect lunch vibes. Its situated on a canal and they have tables out back on the water. Its super casual and the whole front patio is covered. Which is nice and hides the fact that I am right on US1. The food is yum. It warranted using simple and easy words. I have tried the mozzarella panini and the tuna fish sandwich. It came with chips and salsa which were also so good. We got shakes from here which looked and tasted amazing. I need to come back and try breakfast but whenever I want something good that wont stick to my guts all day this is where I head.

Tried this place for the first time....and really there are not enough words to rave and say positive things.. the quality of the food is there! The menu is robust with many options for all palates and dietary needs.. we met the chef Michael and he provided options based in my craving. The location is small but well organized with ample sitting. And don't even get me started in the smoothie and shakes.. do yourself a favor and don't pass this up..

delicious and filling.. ordered the California style bison burger, sweet potato, and banana bread. everything was fresh , flavorfull, and well packaged. Would happily order from them again!

horrible service, I order 2 salads and açaí bowl, they just delivered the salads, I have 2 little ones craying because they were so happy expecting their açaí, we tried to contact them and it was imposible, they did NOT answered the phones and deny the refund too, very sad about this awful customer service

A little bit more on the pricey side but their food is always fresh and delicious! I aways get their veggie wrap and fresh lemonade. This is a great spot to come to if you are looking for something a little more healthy. The service is friendly and it's a cozy spot with a lake view! Great lunch spot!

A friend and I have been wanting to come for a while, so we finally made the trip! It's a small building, but they manage to pack a lot of seating inside, as well as having tables out front and out back by the intercoastal. A nice spot to sit and watch the kayakers from next door! I got the bison burger and my friend got a skirt steak salad. I also ordered a latte. Our food came quickly and looked good! I was a little disappointed by the serving sizes. I realize this place is supposed to be healthy eating, but my burger patty didn't come close to filling my bun, and as you can see from the photo, my "side of fries" was exactly 4 spears. A little disappointing since they had no problem charging "healthy food" prices. That being said, my burger was very tasty! I just wish there was more of it. After we ate, we decided to sneak back in for some homemade cookies and settled on s'mores cookies. They were ok, but not as good as the meal. I think we should have gone elsewhere for dessert. Overall, I'm not sure I would come back. The food was tasty, but I left still feeling hungry. Maybe they wanted me to buy a smoothie with my meal?

MyAPApAyA is one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants to walk to. Their food is always fresh and extremely tasteful. Their falafel/mushroom wraps are absolutely amazing. Today I tried their Brazilian Aqui Bowl and it was delightful. Their facility is always extremely clean and we love their decor. There is plenty of outdoor seating and their is limited seating on the water. My only recommendation is the food come out at the same time. The last two times the food came out at different times. Other than that small detail the review would've been a 5 star.

We just moved to FLL a month ago and have seen this place, a few minutes from house, several times. We took the dogs for an early lunch. The tables by the water provide a great atmosphere and the food was great also. We shared the mozzarella panini that was great. The chips and salsa side were pretty legit also. Service was really quick.

The complaint is not about the food. Our office is always ordering online via their site to avoid dealing with door dash. But the fact that no phone call are accepted and no emails will be answered is just unacceptable. I understand that due to the fact that they are busy, they decided not to answer any calls, and they decided to shift to online services. However, if you are going to commit to that type of service, then please have somebody who will communicate back to your clients in a timely manner. This is the second time that we have run into this issue. Not even the first time we were sent an email saying that our issue has been addressed.

Healthy, sat among the water out back. Had bison burger and mushroom wrap. Both great. Fruit or chips and salsa as sides, both good!

Absolutely amazing fresh food and a great view outside! Loved the bison burger- Ron's of flavor, perfectly cooked with fresh sprouts and veg. Little salty but the sweet potato cinnamon wedges were a nice compliment. The hummus plate is huge with lots of goodies! We split both and would do so again only next visit

Sadly disappointed this time around. We were so looking forward to the Mahi Mahi tacos but very little taste to them and they fell apart to even eat it with your hands. Pricey too for the two tacos with not much fish on it and just an guacamole spread with very little else. Spent close to $90 for three orders and two bottles of water. One order will not fill you up. We had to order three to split the third one. We came in February and remember them being so good.

4/5. I ordered items a la carte. 2 eggs + mini toasts + sliced avocado + Pink Lady smoothie. There was zero flavor or seasoning on the eggs, i at least wanted salt or pepper or anything but bagel, ya know? The toast tasted a lil Smokey/Charred. I could taste whatever they used to warm it up on. The Pink Lady was delicious, Brazilian Uplift is still my number one. Views are beautiful. Very easy to order via the QR code. Once ordered, food came out quickly.

I have mixed feelings.... Let me tell you why. Myapapaya has a great vibe, good service, outdoor sitting in the terrace on front or by the water in the back. If looking for healthy food, this is a great option. We ordered a couple smoothies (Berry thai and Dreamy Greeny) and 2 brunch plates, pancakes and huevos rancheros. The pancakes are probably one of the best I've ever had. On the other side, we couldn't be more underwhelmed by the huevos rancheros. From presentation to taste, it was just a lacking dish. Would I come back? 100%. Would I order the same thing? Probably not.

Busy with takeouts I was waiting almost 30 min for falafel wrap .Not happy @ all .looking for a new healthy spot

went there w my friend and we told them he has a bad allergy to chia seeds and not to put them in and to please do your best and not cross contaminate. Not even halfway through the açaí bowl we found chia seeds and had to go to the ER. they did NOT respect our concerns and they costed us a trip to the ER. I do not recommend this place if you have any allergy's as they did not care.

So disappointed! I loved the old location and enjoyed the fresh juices and larger menu. The new location is missing out on some great previous menu items. Also the restaurant looks very unorganized. I know they can do better, that's why I'm disappointed. My smoothie was yummy though.

They refused to give me a few pieces of celery or carrots for my dog. REFUSED. I will not come back here. Too bad.

Many good things about this place and it used to be my favorite. The is a variety of healthy and tasty food. The service is great and the employees are friendly. Outside seating options are lovely. It's annoying af that everything comes in a paper box with plastic utensils. It's all hard and messy to easy out the box and the meals are not assembled For example, if something comes with chicken on it, the chicken breast will come out whole, wrapped in tin foil, along with other elements of the dish in little plastic containers. You then have to spend putting it together and cutting it with plastic cutlery. I don't visit anymore because it ends up being more effort to go there then to just prepare something at home. The quality of food is good but for the aggravating experience it feels a bit overpriced-- even if it were a good experience it still seems pricey. You're encouraged to sit down and order from the QR code, but thats not very clear and checking out with the app is very confusing. It says something like "pick up or delivery." It makes you wonder if you're doing the wrong thing by dinning in. It would be nice if there was a confirmation on the app that lets you know you're in the right place, doing the right thing, and that your food will come out to you. Or better yet, would rather just only have the option to order from the counter.

Fresh healthy food. Variety menu. River Location is super Cute. Wish they'd get an even bigger spot. Super nice folks.

Great smoothies nice clean place with awesome outdoor seating. Love the strawberry shortcake smoothie

We came here today and were very disappointed. We ordered a Brazilian açaí bowl with fresh fruit and granola. The açaí was completely flavorless and the only fresh fruit was the sliced banana The strawberries was almost invisible and the blueberries and pineapple were missing. The granola had such hard pieces of I don't know what that were so hard that we couldn't chew it and had to spit it out. We didn't finish the bowl and decided to go to a Playa Bowls about 2 blocks south. They have the Best Açaí Bowls. See my Playa Bowls Review.

Super fresh local spot! I ordered the veg power plate-- it was delicious! We also got the Hawaiian juice-- MMMMM!! Do your taste buds (and body) a favor and swing through here, you will not be disappointed!

Hello Myapapaya staff! I'm a frequent customer who has loved your food since you opened the original location on Bayview. I moved back to town a few months ago to have my baby in my hometown. My little girl arrived early at the end of last week and had some complications. I had family members bring me your food to keep my body nourished while she recovered in the NICU. My first meal home after the hospital was the bison burger with a side salad, which one of my go tos. Thank you for maintaining a healthy standard that I can always count on to fuel my body. Your staff is awesome and always so friendly. Please don't change. - A very loyal customer

Where has this place been my whole life? They are the real deal! Fresh food done correctly. Soup from scratch, delicious gluten-free tacos, healthy smoothies. Handmade sauces that you will want to purchase by the jar! Excellent salsa and taco sauce! Good service. Clean eating area. Spacious.Outdoor space eating next to the water is super bonus! I will go out of my way to come back to this place. Try it all I don't think you can go wrong. Manny healthy options including gluten-free and vegan. Gluten and vegan baked goods available also that looked amazing! Do not pass up this little gem in Fort Lauderdale. Another major bonus... They do not use much plastic at all! Environmentally safe containers and paper bags.

Good place, a bit overpriced for the food. Service was good but a bit slow. It's worth trying out.

Good healthy food. Try the Tuna!! It was delicious. Love the outdoor vibe and easy to order and pay right from your phone.

This is my favorite place for açaí bowls! I normally get mine with peanut butter, and it's always so delicious. The wraps are great too!

A wonderful little gourmet restaurant. We thought this location was going to be just like the original one on Sunrise Blvd, but it has a completely different menu and offers full table service. It is small and very nicely decorated, and has indoor and outdoor sitting areas. We were really impressed with the selection of vegetarian dishes and the quality of the food. Everything we tried was delicious: the green salad with green papaya, arugula, apples and grapes was wonderful, the mushroom toast had the perfect mix of spices, and the zucchini pasta was prepared with a vegan cashew-based creamy sauce that was full of flavor and had the right consistency. Every dish was extremely well prepared and had a gourmet touch that is not common to find. The creativity and combination of flavors is outstanding. In addition to their vegetarian and vegan options, they also had in their menu a couple of fish choices: Mahi and Yellow tail Snapper, plus shrimp, chicken and a bison burger. This place is really a gem. Service was outstanding from the moment we walked into the restaurant, and as far as drinks, they offer a large selection of craft beers and wines, plus a couple of Kombucha options on tap. I highly recommend this place. It is not easy to find a good vegetarian restaurant that also has choices for meat and fish eaters, but this place does a great job.

What a great new spot for Myapapaya! I've not been to the location by the mall and have been wanting to try them for sometime. Thankfully they open this new location by my office. Came in for lunch with the work crew on a Friday. The parking is VERY limited and they suggest parking across the street if they're full which seems kinda crazy. We did see a parking attendant out back but he didn't look like he belonged to the restaurant and was mostly just standing around not doing anything. We walked in the back entrance to the front counter and were greeted by several staff members. They just opened recently so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt but everything seemed a bit disorganized. The girl at the counter was very nice but seemed flustered and didn't really know how to use the register. I ordered the tuna pita and Green Monkey smoothie. It was beautiful outside so we went outside to sit by the river. Food didn't take too long to come out but there were 6 of us and we all received our food in different containers. Some to go and some with plates. The pita and Smoothie were delicious-super fresh ingredients. They do need some umbrellas outside to block the sun bit other than that highly recommend sitting outside. The young man bussing the tables and bringing our food that day was wonderful. So helpful and accommodating. This new location is a great spot to relax during your lunch break or grab a bite before paddle board at the spot next door. I will definitely be back soon!
