Here’s some restaurant news that I wasn’t able to share yesterday due to the overwhelming side traffic from Water Slide-aggedon.

Kale Me Crazy opened its doors yesterday along West Ponce de Leon Ave, next to Decatur CD.  The 4p-8p Grand Opening attracted a line out the door, as the shop offered free smoothies to the masses with a coupon in-hand.  (We received a hardcopy version early in the week while dining on a nearby sidewalk.)

While I wasn’t able to make the grand opening, I did stop in this morning and try it out.  (Anything and everything within walking distance of your home must be tried and evaluated.  I’m pretty sure that’s a Decatur ordinance.)

I tired a “Refresh” smoothie – seen above – and I was impressed how they somehow made something that is both sweet and includes kale and celery, quite delicious.  Now that the free smoothie offer has ended, you do need to be willing and able to drop $8 on the beverage. But as of 10am, its sufficed as a filling breakfast for me, so I’m not complaining.

West Ponce de Leon Ave, Decatur GA

Altmod writes in FFAF this morning that she’s observed a sign in the old Terra Mater space – next to Decatur CD on West Ponce (MAP)- announcing that Kale Me Crazy juice bar would be opening a second Atlanta location in the old hair salon.

Kale Me Crazy’s first location is in Inman Park along Highland Ave.  They serve cold-pressed juices, smoothies, coffee, wraps, and acai bowls.  Back in July, USA Today named the spot the top juice bar in the country.
