Moonbean Cafe, which has been open since 2004, has two vendors that supply smoothie ingredients, including Big Train, which uses fresh fruit.

"We make them here—some with yogurt and some with actual green tea, so there's extra antioxidants," she shared. "There's no corn syrup or anything."

Among the smoothie flavors offered by Moonbean area strawberry, mango, pina colada, lemon, banana, wild berry and acai.

"You can also mix any of the flavors together," added Wallace. "I like the strawberry banana."

While the smoothies are clearly a big hit with locals, Moonbean Cafe also offers a full menu of lunch items, including wraps and paninis; as well as baked goods and a unique selection of iced and hot coffees—including Hawaiian Coconut and French Vanilla—on a daily basis.
