Handcrafted smoothie bowls, juices, and smoothies with real ingredients
"Founded in Clarendon in 2011 as a local favorite for smoothies, açaí bowls, and cold-pressed juices, the chain now has nearly 20 locations across the DMV (with a newly announced expansion to Charlotte, N.C.); the location closest to the U.S. Capitol sits in Union Market. Its plastic cup—recognized by its "You Rock" logo—sat prominently in front of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nameplate during his May 14 testimony before the House Committee on Appropriations, looking more like a product-placement ad, though it was unclear where he obtained the drink or why it was positioned so prominently. A spokesperson told Eater on Thursday, "...does not have a partnership with RFK Jr. but has many loyal fans across D.C. and is looking forward to expanding into Charlotte." Kennedy was also seen prepared to double fist a Harmless Harvest coconut water (though he was not seen sipping either on TV), and the drinks—visible only during the morning House hearing—were gone after lunch, with both brands replaced by an alleged iced tea in a generic clear cup during his afternoon testimony before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee." - Tierney Plumb
"I saw South Block will open another smoothie shop from the local chain in the complex." - Warren Rojas
