n.a.

3 Natives is a quick-service cafe focused on fresh, health-oriented meals and drinks. The menu centers on premium fruit smoothies and cold-pressed juices, plus acai bowls, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and other snacks. The brand highlights ingredients such as organic, fair-trade acai and scratch-prepared proteins used across its offerings.

3 Natives was founded in 2013 by Anthony Bambino in Tequesta.

The concept grew from a small juice-bar idea into a broader cafe format that pairs made-to-order beverages with convenient food options. As operations matured, the company standardized recipes, prep methods, and store procedures so franchise owners can run a consistent 3 Natives restaurant under the same system.
