Tropical Breakfast Smoothie

“Delicious froyo with lots of flavors and toppings! For each two-flavor station, there’s one in the middle that’s a swirl of both flavors. There is a variety of toppings, including fresh fruits, syrups, whipped cream, chocolates, candies and gummies, and oreos. My favorite flavor is the triple chocolate. Their taro flavor is quite unique too. Would love to come again!“

Marscapone and Mixed Berry with Dark Chocolate
Small Gelato

“Love the coffee so much, but only thing that bothers me is that they charge you $1.50 for non dairy milk in 2026, and their drinks are already overpriced compared to all of the other coffee spots, so my simple small iced lattes end up being $10 every time. Also there can be quite a wait time and confusion/friction on where to stand in line and who to order with.“

“Staff seemed friendly, professional and attentive(All two of them). I would mention that the staff seemed to be running in more than two directions at once covering many stations in tandem. Guests seeking interaction presented to the front; all while staff was greeting, pulling packing current guest requests, prepping orders for pick up, as well as pulling oven cycles between(few). I know an octopus would have his work cut out for him self durring the rush here. Thank you to the team for the warmth and welcoming environment.“
