Hawa Smoothies–thank you for being absolutely incredible in your business practices and fresh fruit smoothies. You are exactly what all of New York City needs, and a saving grace on the Lower East Side.
First and foremost, let's talk prices. The quality and size of the product you receive from Hawa is unmatched in it's price point…simply because it doesn't exist. For $4.00 you can get a medium, which is quite filling (to some may even come off as larger than life)–with two fruits and only 50c extra for protein powder or a scoop of peanut/almond butter. For $5.00 you can do three fruits or choose from one of their awesome menu items, pre-tailored for a more balanced flavor experience (this also gets you extra ingredients for your money, so it seems).
The staff here is super friendly and efficient. The only complaint I could ever imagine filing is their cash only policy. With more than one location I think they have a lucrative business capable of at least accepting VISA. It's definitely not a deal breaker, though.
As I always say,* once you go Hawa, you'll always say haha when looking at the smoothie prices anywhere else in New York.
*I've never once said that.

I need to come more and write an actual review (but I want to add this to a Yelp list).
Delicious natural tasting smoothies at a great price!
Hawa has a nice resorty atmosphere to it. It is a small mom and pop setup, with a fruit stand behind the cashier and pretty clean.
I must confess, I know the owner and he is a great guy.
However, even if I didn't, I would really like this place. The prices are good (though it's cash only), they get good business and you see them receiving fresh shipments of fruits and veggies all the time.
Also, they pay professional attention to detail. They wash all the produce before preparing an order. Customers can request for their apples to be skinned or not (for the fiber benefit) before it gets put in a smoothie. Service is friendly.
Great little smoothie shop located on the outside of Chinatown. They have a lot of variety of drinks but I since I could always use an extra helping of fruits and veggies, I always get the Passion Green which tastes great and has mango, kale, spinach, and passion fruit. 5 bucks for a small and 6 for a good sized large (24oz?). It's worth it from time to time when you are in a pinch or super thirsty
*don't be afraid to try a new drink on the menu. Every single drink is fresh, delicious, and HEALTHY.
*New fav: Passion Green. A combination of Mango, Passion Fruit, Kale, Spinach, and H2O. Not only do I feel refreshed, but I feel more energetic and happy.
*As always, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
Found this place after reading reviews and I am so glad I did. Very large selection of fruit vegetables juices , smoothies , bubble tea and healthy food and snacks. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
What is with this place?
OK, I have come here on several occasions.
First time, I asked for low sugar in bubble tea drink. I got a Yes, but they completely ignored my request.
Second time, I asked for low sugar, was told they can't do that, it is pre-mixed.
Third time, I didn't say anything about sugar content. And when the guy handed me the drink, he said "no sugar right?" And then he laughed. No difference in taste.
Fourth time, I just asked for a medium-sized bubble milk tea iced, and then the guy over the counter asks, "no sugar right?" And I was like whatever. Tasted the same as the ones before.
So basically your requests about sugar level in milk teas will be ignored, but they will continue to harass you about it.
And I keep going back, I am a glutton for punishment. Wtf.
Good spot for bubble teas and healthy smoothies. They have pretty much everything so your choices are endless. Cash only.
