Ordered a dirty chai latte and a nitro cold brew. I was informed the nitro cold brew was out. I tried to order an iced coffee, and was informed that the nitro cold brew was out. I tried to order an iced americano and was asked if I wanted that instead of the dirty chai, I clarified no, I wanted the dirty chai and the coffee. I ended up only getting the dirty chai, and no coffee. The chai was fine, I just wish they were willing to sell me coffee.

I waited till this place reopened at 2:30 PM and placed my coffee order. It took 30 minutes to get my coffee. I was more bugged, that the employees didn’t care. And to make matters worse my coffee turned out horrible. Beware! This might be a hit or miss for anyone.

Been coming here for years, unfortunately this year has been our worst experience by far. They have reduced the amount of acai base in their bowls significantly. We tried it twice to see if the first day was just a fluke, but they served a ridiculously small amount of acai both times. Turned into a liquid soup mess instantly. We will not be returning.

I love this little bistro that is right on the strand right next to the amphitheater if y'all are looking for a great amazing cup of coffee and a good word from the good book then this is the spot to hang out at when you're down by the waterfront

Horrible service. Overpriced. Bought almost a $9 coffee. Asked if they could put ice in our hydroflask and wanted to charge us another $1.20. Idk how these people have stayed open for so long, but I know I'll never go back, and I'm a local. I feel bad for the tourists who will encounter poor businessmanship/ownership/employees. Probably democrats 👍

$9 coffee is kinda high. The woman was rude. Asked for cup of ice and she wanted $2. Its ice lol.

The food is tiny and way overpriced. The sandwiches tasted like they came from the fridge weren’t even reheated all the way. Save your money and get some real food anywhere else.

HORRIBLE. The staff was extremely disrespectful and profane. They attempted to give me something completely different from what I ordered and called me “uncooperative” because I asked for my money back.
They were totally out of line!

By the way, the coffee is cheap and disgusting, and it looks like they haven’t cleaned their stand since the 1980s. Don’t waste your time or money there. 0 stars.
