And the reasoning for being closed is always "short handed". Why don't any of your staff stay? As a business owner myself, I'm literally shocked that this place has existed this long.

What a great addition to the Helderberg neighborhood!…read more This place features a wide array of nutrition based shakes and iced teas with a seemingly endless variety of options and flavors. I had the latte shake and my wife tried one of their teas with an extra energy shot. Both drinks were delicious and a perfect post run/work out treat on Saturday morning. The drinks have a surprising amount of flavor while being low in sugar and calories. The owner and his staff were great at explaining their options and products. The best part of this place is it is dog friendly! Our 80 lb lab enjoyed the large dog bowl of water while we ordered our drinks. They have a couple small sofas which would make a nice place to relax with your drink and book. It is great to have this place within walking distance from our house. It is a nice addition to the neighborhood and we can't wait to go back!

There are a ton of flavors, which made it so hard to choose one. I decided to go with a tea, and the owner was super patient with me and gave me a few recommendations. I went with the pomberry tea, and it was delicious. It definitely had plenty of caffeine in it! They have 3 caffeine options, with energizing having the least, boosted having a medium amount, and lit being the most caffeinated. This is definitely going to become a regular spot for me; the variety of options and the pleasant staff makes me want to go back for more!

In searching for a healthy lunch option that has delivery options on Yelp, I came upon Bowled. I ordered one of their signature açai bowls.
