The bowls are made with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the difference in the fruit and toppings. Everything is very fresh. The menu has a nice variety, a classic acai bowl or something a little different, and it's easy to customize to your liking.

Service has always been polite and efficient, even when they're busy. I usually order ahead on their website to avoid waiting and people.

There were a couple of Hook and Ring games on the bar tables. There's some outdoor seating as well but I think it's somewhat shared with the other establishments. Getting into the driveway south on Melrose is slightly daunting. There's Vista's installed bike lane guards that makes puling closer to the curb shorter for the turning in. Also, cars exiting from Starbucks or taking up driveway on exit. Fun times. Don't let this deter you! Enter Chevron driveway or turn on Sycamore and drive around.

We ordered; -Monkey business Matcha 5/5 It's coconut syrup and banana cold foam. The drink had unique taste, with adequate sweetness, rich flavor and creaminess. -Banana bread latte 5/5 Brown sugar, banana cream and foam, nutmeg and cinnamon. The drink was refreshing. The mixture of the creamy banana and the brown sugar gave the drink a unique and rich flavor -Coconut Caramel cookie 5/5 My goodness! That was indulgent, buttery,and had the perfect texture. -Banana Nutella muffins 5/5 The muffin was moist and rich in banana flavor then the center had rich and gooey chocolate. It was heavenly! The staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. The service was really fast. Definitely, I will be back to try their açai bowls and order more drinks.

I've even brought my parents a few times and it's always a hit. The space has plenty of seating and there's usually good parking nearby, which makes it an easy, relaxed stop.
