"10 out of 10. I come here often. I’ve tried other places when they are closed yet always come right back to what I know. Bings berry and I got a good thing going."

"Stopped by Shimmy’s this morning for breakfast and it was delicious. The açaí was the perfect blend and not overly sugary, and they have plenty of options for toppings as well. They have a bunch of other menu items such as smoothies, salads, and paninis too, definitely looking forward to coming back again soon!"

"I’ve been to many different acia bowl and smoothy spots on the Hudson valley and NYC (I work in NYC) and everywhere in between and Shimmy’s beats them all! I’ll join the choir on the hours though. Don’t worry Shimmy’s, it’s not a bad thing. We just want you to be open longer so we can have more of your fantastic treats! Easier said than done, I’m sure. As for the bowls, I prefer less sweet, healthier bowls (most spots are too sweet and use added sugar). Shimmy’s uses the best ingredients and best texture (not grainy/ no ice chips, not too sweet) they’re so creamy you’d think there is dairy. Please support this business. They really care about what they do, and it shows!"
