Family-run Everbowl joins Miramar Plaza dining options
The newest addition to retail and dining at Miramar Plaza opened this month when a family-owned Everbowl franchise began serving customizable bowls, smoothies and a small selection of hot items at 12889 U.S. 98, suite 108A.
The shop, which began operations July 19, is owned and run by Casie and Laurentiu Cernat. While Everbowl operates as a national franchise, the Cernats stressed the store is locally managed and the couple will be on site regularly.
"We are owner operators," said Casie Cernat. "We're not a major chain. Yes, Everbowl is a franchise, but we are locally owned and operated. It is us. You'll see us here, and if you see us here, say hello."
The menu emphasizes build-your-own bowls and smoothies, with additional hot items such as wraps and melts. Everbowl lists calorie content on the menu and highlights ingredient sourcing and customization options for patrons concerned about dietary needs.
Hours, menu features and ingredient notes
- Hours: 8 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday–Saturday; 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Sunday.
- Offerings: customizable bowls, smoothies, sips and hot foods including wraps and melts.
- Customization: add-ins such as protein powder, collagen, spirulina or turmeric; free samples available for bases.
Casie Cernat described the shop's focus on approachable service and a welcoming atmosphere. She said the team wants customers to feel energized when they enter and to receive what she described as "superior service" so guests will remember the location.
On ingredients, the owners highlighted that the foundation of the concept began with açaí and that the brand sources bases from partner regions, including Brazil. The bases at this Everbowl location are promoted as dairy-free, and the granola is certified gluten-free. The store currently lists 11 different base flavors.
Local context and potential impacts
The opening places a health-forward fast-casual option across from the recently opened Botanic Luxury Apartments in Miramar Plaza. The new residential development and the Everbowl location could complement one another: residents moving into nearby apartments may rely on convenient meal choices and grab-and-go options for breakfast and lunch.
Locally owned outlets within national franchises can influence neighborhood commercial corridors by keeping managerial decisions and much of the day-to-day staffing at the community level. The Cernats' emphasis on being visible and available at the store signals that regular customers will interact with owners rather than a remote corporate team.

What Miramar residents should know
Customers interested in trying the new location can expect sampling of bases before ordering, a range of customization options and visible calorie counts on the menu. The owners said free samples are available so patrons can taste bases before committing to a full bowl.
For Miramar employees and residents seeking quick, health-oriented meal choices during morning and midday hours, the new Everbowl expands available options in the plaza and may draw regular foot traffic from adjacent housing developments.
As with any new business, sustained success will depend on consistent food quality, customer service and integration into the local market. The Cernats have positioned their Everbowl as a neighborhood-oriented operation backed by franchise support but led locally by owner-operators who plan to be present in the store.
Further details about the menu and ingredients are available inside the Miramar Plaza location. The owners encourage customers who stop by to introduce themselves and provide feedback as they settle into the community.
