My vanilla latte was amazing and the woman who made it for me was even better. Kind and sweet and so happy to be there at 6:30 in the morning.

This is a drive/walk up place. Adorable and small. One worker so I’d there’s a line be prepared to wait. They have açaí bowls and smoothies. I asked to buy just a fruit by itself and they sold me a banana (woo!) not somewhere to work or meet a friend but definitely a place to stop by quick if you’re nearby!

Well they used to have my favorite açaí bowls till the changed there granola now it’s not so good hopefully they can change it back to something not so hard to eat

This place use to have the best Acai bowls but recently they changed the granola and the acai and its no where near as good as it used to be. I would get an acai bowl at least twice a week. BUT now unfortunately have to find a new place. Staff is still very nice and place is busy.

Just left & had the best interaction! I believe it was Sophia who helped me. Definitely the best smoothie I’ve had in awhile. Will being going back to see her

Unbelievably nice girl working suggested a coffee and I truly have nothing to complain about. Finally a drink that isn’t 90% ice and didn’t cost $6.The line was worth the wait :)

When we travel we love to find locally owned and we found a gem! The young lady working this morning was amazing. She was so friendly and was thoroughly enjoying her job. This place will not disappoint.

This place has the best acai bowls I have ever had. I finally stopped ordering them anywhere else because they do not compare !! The service is always friendly and fast here too!

Yeah, idk. If you're going to have a drive thru coffee service, maybe be quick with the orders instead of letting cars pile up

Two days in a row coffee order was wrong! Sunday 2/13 order 2 iced and 1 hot coffee, but got 3 hot coffees.. not a big deal tasted good, just poured it over ice. 2/14 horrible ordered 3 hot coffees received 2 hot and 1 iced, the iced was good the hot were like drinking water! So disappointing !!! Not sure I will return
