A new healthy-drink bar has opened downtown.

Mixx Nutrition Club is in Shriver Square at 11th Street and Phillips Avenue. Since the shop opened at 6 a.m. Monday, the crowd mostly has been those working downtown and nearby, co-owner Jenna Boelke said.

“We had a lot of people around the lunch hour,” Boelke said. “We were pleasantly surprised at the number of people we had at our grand opening.”

Mixx has  space for seating, including a couch and chairs that flank an ivy wall with a neon Mixx DTSF sign, and some bar-style seating near the back.

The menu includes iced energy teas with flavors like Starburst and Skittles, along with meal replacement shakes and aloe shots. Boelke said the plan is to add other items such as protein balls soon, but she and co-owner Heather Javurek are happy with the response they’ve seen already to their menu.

“Down the line, we have some other quick grab-and-go foods that we’re going to add to our menu,” Boelke said. “But it’s been great so far.”

Hours are 6 a.m to 2 p.m. weekdays.
