Tropical Breakfast Smoothie
Razzle Dazzle 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.“

“lives up to the hype. delicious cookies. not too sweet and great textures. got an americano with the sweet treat, and the coffee was decent as well.

2 cookies + 2 coffees came out to about 19 bucks....but one cookie definitely does fill you up.

it would be nice if they warmed the cookie up before serving.“
