Well, it looks like a South Florida restaurant wants to be the next Erewhon.
Garden Butcher has just opened in Boca Raton. Although it's not a grocery store like Erewhon, it has a large selection of prepared foods, fresh menu items to-go, and, you guessed it, copycat Erewhon smoothies.
Located at the Village Plaza at 690 Yamato Rd., Garden Butcher states that it only serves foods that are "local, seasonal, and organic" and are always "refined sugar-free and seed oil-free, always." The restaurant also has gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free options available. So far, this is all right on par with its Erewhon older sister across the country.@socialsami Erewhon Dupe in Boca Raton? Garden Butcher has been featured online several times for being an Erewhon Dupe. So we went to go check it out. The first thing I noticed, this is not a grocery store so it can’t be a real dupe however they do have a lot of great prepared foods and you can order fresh menu items to go. AND.. I’m a sucker for a good smoothie bar. We ordered the: Strawberry Glow Smoothie (Hailey B dupe) Cloud Smoothie Buffalo cauliflower ( This was cold because it was in the refrigerator section. Still really good though) Buffalo chicken wrap - not bad, not great Tuna Poke Bowl- decent size, fresh tuna A chocolate chip energy ball - yummy snack Lemonade with seamoss I think if you’re in Boca Raton & healthy eats is your thing, it’s a great place to pick up lunch, smoothies, or some meal prep but not an Erewhon Dupe. #gardenbutcher #bocaratonflorida #erewhondupe #smoothiebar ♬ original sound - Samiya Jakubowicz
Food blogger Samiya Jakubowicz of @socialsami on Instagram and TikTok gave a detailed review where she ordered the "Strawberry Glow Smoothie" (the Hailey Bieber dupe), the "Cloud Smoothie," the Buffalo cauliflower, the Buffalo chicken wrap, tuna poke bowl, a chocolate chip energy ball, and lemonade with sea moss. The entire meal cost her $93. At an actual Erewhon, it would've cost her roughly $180 or more.
"I think if you’re in Boca Raton and healthy eats is your thing, it’s a great place to pick up lunch, smoothies, or some meal prep, but not an Erewhon Dupe," she writes in her caption. Below, let's compare the dupe smoothies.
