A little pricey but very fresh. The teenage staff was having a whole conversation about their friends before asking to be served. Other than waiting almost five minutes for the conversation to end we got two bowls and loved how they tasted!

I go here at least once a week in between classes. Always clean, staff is quick and super friendly, I love the vibes of the place. Its small, but there's always a table open if one wants to work or have a chat with a friend. Cant wait till the rooftop area opens again! Food is a bit pricey tbh, but that's every place nowadays lol. It is in fact delicious tho!

The roof top area was not open when I went. I will try them again in the warmer weather to see how it is.

the food was dry and cold. the service was awful, the girl who took my order was yelling at her coworker and seemed frustrated that I was ordering. The smoothie was so tart after I asked for them to add sweetener. It's a very pretty building, however, the music did not fit the aesthetic of the building. It was so expensive for poor quality food and drinks. Would not go again.

Out of town visitor, was looking for avocado ? toast. Ran into this place amazing experience. The layer of pesto at the bottom gives it a different taste still tasting phenomenal. They also have sugar free coffees. Definitely recommend coming to this place.

This place could be great. The location is awesome, and the downstairs has nice windows. The food that I have had (mainly acai bowls and avocado toast) has been really good. But they never seem to have everything I would expect. Today - no drip coffee and only 2% or almond milk options. I was told that they never have whole milk. For a place that is basically a coffee shop - that's not acceptable. Sorry to see you go, Pit and the Peel, but I think you're off my list for now.

The açaí bowl was mid and tasted like ice and the workers there didn’t know how to do a refund after I ordered and something ran out. They were nice about it and everything worked out in the end because they let me get other stuff to makeup for it but how do u not know how to do a refund lol just kinda

Been to both places and not disappointed in the food. The Pit and Pesto panini is my favorite along with the Underworld smoothie.

used to go here and it was good but recently went 10/29/2023 and it was worst smoothie i’ve ever had. literally whoever was making smoothies that day needs to quit fr. i don’t usually write reviews unless what i ordered was god awful. there were large bits of coconut and kale in my smoothie, which was somehow watery yet chunky. made me gag, this place fell off real hard

If you want unfriendly and slow service, this is the place to go! The staff is rude and the açaí bowls are bland. Ordered a latte and waited 15 minutes. It was ONLY when inquired about it, I was told the machine was not working correctly. I asked for a refund and the staff didn't know how to process a refund back to my cc. The staff then proceeded to grab tip money and give it to me as the refund! I'm not even sure what I was given covered the cost of the latte. I only ate the toppings from my açaí bowl because the rest was gross. The music was extremely obnoxiously loud- so if you like a club atmosphere at noon, then this is the perfect spot for you!

This short pump location is no longer open. The last one I was there I got a açaí bowl. It was very melted and not the norm. I've been a few times and this was different. There was also a leak from the soda fountain and the floor was wet due to the leak. A few wet floor signs were down (which was good) but definitely a different experience this time around. I go back a few weeks later and it was gone/permanently closed

My girlfriend always goes here for their açaí bowls. Great choice if that's what you're into. Pretty quick and convenient with an array of options and even pizza that was surprisingly good the one time I had it. Unfortunately they don't seem to do the best job possible of keeping things stocked because they have been out of what she wanted on more than one occasion but they have enough options that it's not worth them getting dinged over.

I have a come here several times and most of the time it’s been a negative experience. The service is always rude and very amateurish. The last time I have been here, I ordered two bowls over the phone and came in for pick up. There was only one line and it was for people to order so I walked to the front counter to ask where I can pick up and was told to get in the back of the very long line. I was in this line for 20 minutes and when I finally got to the front I told them I’m just there to pick up. They found my order and said oh they still have to make it. I was very unhappy and I just left.I hope in the future they train their staff properly. I was very confused with the way things were handled.With that being said, their products are delicious.

My sister and I ordered an acąi bowl and a smoothie. Taste-wise, very delicious. Although the bowl was mostly smoothie! I like that they have GF granola for no extra charge. The smoothie is worth the $10, you can taste little pieces of coconut Great music and good environment to work, not crowded. 4/5 because the bathroom facilities were very dirty, the rooftop, although it had been raining, was messy, no trash bags in trash cans. Great option to pick up smoothie on the go!
