The worst.
First, if you go to the refrigerator to order after hours, you cannot see any of the ingredients of any of the flavors. They are covered up by the flavor label.
So, I decided to go to the website to look at the different ingredients because I am a vegan and do not eat any animal products. On their website, they indicate that their peach is fully vegan.
I went ahead and purchased a peach yogurt, opened it up, and gave it a try . It was pretty gross. The consistency was not good, and it has sweetness without any tartness.
Then I checked the ingredients on the jar to see what was making it taste so weird. And there is gelatin in this damn thing! There’s nothing vegan or vegetarian about gelatin, people!
I’m disgusted and disappointed on all fronts. I would never recommend this place to anyone ever, and they should stop their false advertising with their online/website descriptions.
This little vending machine has such good healthy deserts! I really enjoyed my dessert. I am super weird with textures too, so I was nervous, but with the coconut flakes on top it was perfect. I tried the original and coffee flavor- and both were good!
Good concept with the vending machine, terrible execution.
If you order on doordash after hours, they give you a code for the vending machine but there's a strong chance it won't work and no one will be there to help. I had to wait 20 mins for support to respond and unlock the machine. Another dasher showed up and had the exact same issue and said it had happened multiple times to her.
I was craving something sweet but healthy, and this was the closest, best option in the area!
Parking: They're located in a business plaza, but finding a spot is easy.
Ambiance/Environment: This is a 24/7 vending machine. It is located outside of a quick service spot. There is limited outdoor seating.
Tip: Figure out which flavors you want before opening the fridge. I guess it's motion censored (?), so if you pick up a jar and place it back, you'll still get charged for that jar. I'm speaking from experience lol. Don't do what I did.
Service: Self-serve vending machine. Don't worry, they have detailed instructions! Card only; no cash. First, tap/insert/swipe your card. Next, open the fridge and grab the flavors you want. Don't forget the coconut flakes and spoons! After you grabbed everything, close the fridge. That's it! Your card will be charged after. If you want a receipt, type your email right after the fridge closes. They also have to-go packets on the right side of the machine. It also had detailed instructions on how to package the jars!
Desserts: I got 4 different flavors. The texture is like a dense pudding; easy to swallow.
1) Original Coconut - Can't go wrong with a simple coconut flavor! This is for the coconut lovers!
2) Cold Brew - This was my favorite! The coffee flavor definitely came through with a hint of coconut.
3) Black Sesame - The flavor was lacking a bit. The coconut overpowered the black sesame, but still good.
4) Matcha - My second favorite! The matcha flavor was not shy!
Pricing: It is on the pricier end, but it's sooo addicting! They offer multiple flavors, and they aren't too sweet.
It was very easy to use the vending machine. I love that you can satisfy that sweet but not so sweet craving at any time of the day. The self service was nice and the machine is easily located
Absolutely love this dessert! I have such a sensitive stomach to diary and gluten. It’s nice having a dairy free, gluten free dessert with fresh fruit and clean ingredients just around the corner. Even better… it’s in a kiosk, just pick up and go!
I have tried all of the flavors and in my opinion the fresh peach coconut pudding blows it out of the water with texture and flavor!
Machine didn’t work for a while but eventually it did. Honestly taste like nothing. I would recommend the fruit pudding

Owner is very nice man and his wife, She said hi to me the first time I was there. And the staff is very knowledgeable.
I can eat it everyday. So good.
Devastated.. I came from LA for this and the machine doesn’t even work. I hope this gets fixed ?

Very cool idea ! Very easy to use and delicious!
Is it probably overpriced? Yeah. Is it in a weird place to get to that kinda feels a little sketchy? Yeah <3 but I'm obsessed and I love this coconut yogurt stuff <<33 it's just a little fridge you open and grab whatever flavor and coconut flake packets you want and you pay when you close it... Super cool concept for a not too sweet late night treat.

This is a digital kiosk right outside of another restaurant. The kiosk is basically a fridge with a tablet and lock. After you place your online order for pickup at this location you’ll receive an email with instructions to unlock the fridge and pickup your order. The fridge is usually stocked with all of their available flavors. The mango and the taro are my favorites. Good stuff!!
Parking: Plenty of parking. This kiosk is at the front entrance to a Mexican restaurant.
Wheelchair accessibility: This is an industrial area. Large parking lot. Easy access for wheelchair

Location is a small kiosk just to the left of the taco place. The flavors were surprisingly amazing, not enough good things to say about the self serve kiosk. There is an eating area/patio but we had ours to go. Texture is like between jello and pudding.
Vegetarian options: There is gelatin in it if that is something that matters to you
Dietary restrictions: I have a peanut allergy and happily they are free of nuts besides coconuts ?
