The smoothie bowl I got was SO delicious. It was the “chunky monkey” and it’s dairy free. Got a latte as well and it was excellent. Definitely not a secret as I was there early and as soon as it opened there were people right behind me. I can see why. They may need to expand as it’s so good and lots of people want to go.

You have to wait for 20 min just to give order and another 20 min to have your food. If you are looking for a relaxed coffee place, It’s not the correct address!

Such a gem of a spot! This shop has the best smoothies in town. The flavors are always spot-on, and the boba is perfectly chewy. I love supporting local businesses, and it's even better knowing this one is woman-owned! The owner is super friendly, and you can tell she puts a lot of love and care into everything she does. Highly recommend!

No unwinding here...I do not recommend this shop, as I believe their approach to community service falls far short of what should be expected from a neighborhood business.

My husband and I were on a bike ride—a route we take often—and decided to stop in for lunch, our first visit to this location. I was experiencing a sudden drop in blood sugar and needed something quickly. The shop has a bar area, but due to the heat, we chose to eat on a bench outside.

After finishing our meal, my husband went inside to dispose of our small paper bag of food waste—trash that came directly from the meal we had just purchased. To our surprise, the woman inside refused to accept it. She claimed the shop is “to-go only” and told him there are “garbage cans all up and down Alki” where we could take it instead.

This response was disappointing. We didn’t bring in outside trash. We purchased food from her establishment and were simply trying to throw away the small amount of waste it created. (We were also decked out in cycling attire, so there was no mistaking we were cyclists who just bought food here. Especially as there was only 2 other people who bought anything during the same time frame.) Refusing to accept responsibility for the disposal of your own to-go packaging—and then directing customers to use public bins for it—shows a lack of regard for both patrons and the surrounding community.

We won’t be returning, and I believe businesses that take this kind of approach are not good stewards of the neighborhoods they operate in.

Best coffees in west Seattle. I love swimming in the sound and then getting a warm coffee with the delightful espresso bean. Also the food is made thoughtfully and fresh!

First time going and she told me the bubble tea is made fresh daily with all her other ingredients than being processed

So you know what your eating really is great for your taste buds

And worth the money

Unlike other places in Seattle this spot is the perfect place for coffee after that jog around the park to kick up your adrenaline

Calm down with a tea or bubble tea or chai with a good healthy light breakfast
Made specifically for you that you feel special eating it

With no acid reflex that you get after eating at any other restaurant around here

No you feel full and ready to take on the world after you go to her

And everything is made from family recipe

Her father loved baking and her mother skills

And her which bring this shop to be well worth trying

Excellent friendly service and very good coffee. We took the ferry, got coffee, walked around then went back to Seattle for a nice afternoon. The barista went out of their way to customize drinks to our liking.
