But today, we were served by a girl who was on the her phone gossiping with someone the entire time, she even had the phone on speaker. And I would not have cared about it if we would have at least gotten water. She didn’t even asked if we wanted anything, didn’t brought us water at any point, and was being very loud on the phone.“

“Had the Pho with chicken. Absolutely delectable. Head chef came out to take our orders and make sure everything was good, even made custom sauces! My one gripe is that you have to buy the board games they have and can’t just use them. They have a VIP only table and a bar, with a few other tables for dining in. The owners were lovely and extremely helpful. Overall would absolutely go again!“

Every cup feels like it’s crafted with care—from the rich aroma that fills the air to the perfectly balanced flavors.

“I can’t say enough! Strawberry matcha, lattes, coffee and every pastry, scone or cookie, avocado toast, I’ve had is seriously delicious. Whatever coffee they use, their nut milks, does not cause me to have any bad reactions. I think their super curated ingredients are a reflection of that. Consistently good, fresh, clean. Even with the volume of customers, they keep this place CLEAN. It gets busy. So prepared for that. Cute spots to sit. But nothing cozy and quiet. Expect bustling business. Lots of teens but also families and mid age ppl. Great ingredients and a healthy alternative to less healthier options.“

“Delicious coffee , wine and friendly staff“

“always a smile to greet you with your order“

“I come here almost every week when I don’t order for delivery. Alina, Domenica, and Chris are always friendly and attentive. The vibes are always right. The atmosphere is also always welcoming. I love the essence and energy here. The food is always tasty and delicious. The latte drinks are soooo yummy. Alina always makes my drinks with care and love— which is why they always taste so good. Not once have I ever walked out disappointed. Shout outs to this team, they’ve earned my sincerest gratitude. If I could give them 10 stars I would. I highly recommend for anyone looking for healthy vegan friendly options.“

“Had a delightful lunch today at the 41st St location. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The dressing on the greens that comes with the sandwiches was to die for!

“Stopped in for a strawberry banana smoothie, 5 stars! Great service, great friendly atmosphere, and workers very knowledgeable about the product! Will be returning!“

“Their coffee is super awesome! I love it.“

“Very juicy chicken — tender meat, well cooked, with a crispy crust on the outside and soft on the inside. Nothing is dry; you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The bun was a pleasant surprise: soft, lightly toasted, doesn’t fall apart, and absorbs the sauce perfectly without becoming soggy. The sauce adds richness without overpowering the chicken. Everything is well balanced — it feels like a thoughtfully made, high-quality sandwich, not just fast food. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it.“

“Delicioso 😋 🥗 ensaladas muy ricas y la sopa 🍜 muy sabrosa y caliente con un café y una manzana 🍎 muy dulce!“

“My fiancé and I come here once per weekend to get coffee and breakfast and see our favorite employees, Angie, Maddy & Gary. These folks make it such a great way to start the weekend/morning and the coffee and food are always great! Would highly recommend checking this spot out if you are in town looking for a great start to your day.“

“One of our favorite places We always stop in for lunch when we’re in the area. Everything is always very fresh and staff is friendly and professional“

“Yeah it is a cafe where you are captive in the aquarium, but we thought our food was very good considering we had low expectations. The clam chowder was delicious and our daughter enjoyed her Mac and cheese kids meal. Food is pricey because you’re stuck in the aquarium with little other options available but at least we felt it was decent.“

“Love the LA Fit wrap, of course on a habanero tortilla. Great soups, too. All around a great option for a quick lunch.“
