Smoothies and açaí bowls are fantastic. Service is pretty good but servers are often on phones or not paying attention. There really isn’t an “atmosphere” it’s a walk up shack with a tiny table for waiting.

Its ok but prices should be lower considering it’s being served out of a tiny shack with minimal rent and they buy all their supplies from costco…

I got a green smoothie (I know, but I like them). It was delicious and refreshing. It's about the price of getting junk food at a drive through.

I paid $11 for a mediocre coffee and a muffin. Wow. Way overpriced. Lots of other cafes in the area that I can get a coffee and more for $6. The server was very sweet, which is why I followed through with the purchase but man, really hurt my wallet for not much. I won't be returning.

Hours of Operations say they open at 5am. It was a Friday at 5:25am when I stopped by. Flashing "Open" sign was on. I stepped up to the counter. There were two of them behing the counter. One greeted me with a "Good morning," and that was it. I waited a while for someone to take my order- NADA, ZERO, ZILCH. I left since I needed to be at work by 6am. Never going back there again! Note: Beware of their super high prices. You might as well go to Starbucks.

Wish I could give a better rating. On the first visit, I got a butterbeer frappé. It was the best one I have tried so far. Thought i had found my new favorite place. Very good balance of caramel and coffee. Somehow perfectly blended and stayed the perfect frozen consistency until the last sip. It's delicious, but a bit pricy at $10 for a medium. Honestly this one was absolutely worth it for the treat.
However I came back today for the same, and this one was not balanced in flavor to ice and was not well blended so I got large chunks of ice with minimal flavor mostly just weak coffee as well as large chunks of butter. Not like sweet butter, just butter... and a thin drizzle of caramel on top. It was pretty watery and bitter, but the butter chunks were not a pleasant experience .
I don't know if it just wasn't blended enough, or if someone was maybe training or forgot to add something, but I couldn't even drink this. I highly doubt most people would be able to drink butter chunks big enough to clog the straw.
I didn't try it until I had already left and didn't have time to go back, or I would have asked for them to remake it. This was basically paying to throw it away. I really hope this was a one-time thing, but honestly, I don't know if I want to risk it again ?.
