Today when I had the sample, the door was open. Nice interior, hi ceilings with decorative copper tin tiles , and pretty dropped pendant lights, & pale saffron walls.
She said this Tuesday is opening day.

I asked the woman that was handing out samples when they planned to open and she told me this Tuesday.  They were giving out almond milk smoothies.  It was very tasty, not too sweet.

This is so cool! Really happy to have more healthy options coming to the neighborhood. I love all the restaurants in JH, but not being able to run out in pajamas to get an acai bowl does sometimes make me wish I lived in a neighborhood with more choices. Glad to see we are getting some new stuff.

As of yesterday, they were not open for business, and the space didn't appear to be ready.

The samples I tried were pretty delicious.

Looking forward to when this place does open properly.

Just walked by and noticed that Fresh Spilt Milk is open for business.  Looking forward to trying some of their many breakfast options!

Yes, they're open!  It's a "soft open" so they can get ready for an official grand opening sometime soon.

I got a delicious almond butter and banana sandwich this morning for $4.   It was a real treat.

They have an extensive menu of sandwiches, acai bowls, smoothies, soups, and salads, with many healthy and vegan options, and plenty of seating.  The atmosphere looked relaxed, warm and welcoming.   It reminded me of type of place one might find in a college town upstate.  It looks like a great addition to the neighborhood.

A person I spoke with said the owners have a smoothie place in Astoria, and the menu looks a lot like Ayurveda Fresh, so I'm guessing that's it.

I checked it out today and everything I tasted was delicious. Had the grilled cheese with sun-dried tomatoes and sampled the pea soup, acai, and ricotta sandwich.  Breakfast items will be available all day. Nice interior. Super friendly staff. They told me menus are coming soon.
Great addition to Jackson Heights.

Can't wait to check this place out! Seems like a great addition.

Any insight as to the very strange name, which hardly seems to describe what they are doing?

I use a wheelchair. My coworkers were raving about the food today, so I wanted to check it out this afternoon. I got there, and a passerby saw me struggling to get up the small, steep ramp while trying to open the door at the same time. I couldn't do it, so he tried to help me. The one open door (it's a double door with one locked side) is too narrow for my standard width chair to pass through. The staff inside just stared as I struggled trying to get inside, and didn't offer to help at all. The door is a double door, so both sides could have been opened by staff, but as I said, they just stared. I never got inside. The ramp appears to be steeper than the ADA 1:12 ratio regulation for restaurants. ADA says that any restaurant that renovates must be brought 100% up to code. Very disappointed.

Disabled Foodie: sorry you couldn't get in. Here's hoping they will take note before the official opening. Very glad to see you posting, regardless. Do you still have a blog? I haven't seen any update for months.

Kind of a standard problem at more and more places. No matter how well intentioned a place is, young, inexperienced staff always seems to drop the ball. I was asking someone who works there questions relating to allergy issues re:ingredients in some of the menu items and couldnt get a solid answer to a single question.
Customer service is the most important thing to drive traffic to your store, but it always is the first place companies cut corners.

@hagsrus, Thank you. Hope they take note too. I don't have a blog anymore. For the amount of time, energy, money, and effort I was investing, I was not getting much, if any, support from the target audience.
