Recently Blake Orchard has introduced new lattes to their menu. First they tried them out at their…read moreScarborough location but brought them to their Portland spot too. In search of a Sunday coffee my wife and I decided to come in and check the lattes out. Looking at the menu prior to our visit we did consider trying the smoothie bowls but a few reasons deterred us from doing so. The prices for the size you receive didn't seem worth it. The heavy use of almonds and the fact they can't guarantee being almond free made my wife hesitant too. The inside is spacious, welcoming and beautifully designed while remaining simple. I was surprised it wasn't busier considering this! Definitely felt like a spot you could enjoy a smoothie or drink and chat with friends or family for a while or watching the world outside the window. Street parking was easy enough to get right out front. Staff when we ordered were not un-friendly but also not overly friendly. More welcoming and friendly could make for even more memorable and nice experiences. Latte wise my wife got the Cinnamon Bun Latte while I got the Cookies & Cream Latte. Firstly I will say both the lattes we chose come with a housemade whip which is very delicious but much thicker than typical cold foam/latte toppings. They also make the syrups in house which is great and the taste was phenomenal. Both lattes nailed the flavors they were going for with a slight edge given to the cinnamon bun being better. Overall a great spot aesthetically with solid lattes.

The place is nice inside bright and welcoming. They have a good size menu and the crepes smelled good. I ordered the Nantucket red small , they charged me for a large I corrected them no problem . The small was definitely small for $9.00. The beet flavor was very prevalent and sort of took over the whole smoothie. I had expected the other flavored would have been more pronounced. I have had smoothies with beet before and it was a sweeter mix so that was a little disappointing. Nice place but felt expensive for what I got .

Great smoothie, but I probably will not be returning. My warning about this business is the sizes…read moreof the smoothies/juices they sell. There are two sizes that are offered (small and large). The small is 9.00$ without tax when the large is 13$ without tax. Today I spent 9.72$ on a small smoothie that I did end up enjoying but the size of the cup was insane for the price tag they put on it. Below you can see a picture I took representing and comparing the size to my energy drink powder mix. Things I noticed where they don't put the ounces of the drinks on the menu board but only the prices. At the counter they also had no cups out showing the sizes of the drinks. They also display no prices on the online menu, where I first looked, as-well as no ounces of the smoothie drinks. I work for a small business in southern Maine and I just think this is completely unreasonable for sizing. I shop small constantly trying new places and have never spent over 9$ on one drink, or even a SMALL drink and I don't think I want to ever again.

It's off the beaten path and not somewhere I would've stumbled upon naturally. I went around noon on a Friday and there were a couple of people in line but it moved quickly and there wasn't much of a wait. It's a cute little shop--standing room only--and I liked the vibe a lot. They provide complimentary infused water while you wait and there is a gender-neutral restroom available. In addition to food and smoothies, there are tie dye tshirts and treats for the pup for sale. The person taking my order (I'm guessing the owner) was pleasant and welcomed me for my first visit. I ordered the Tropicali Blues smoothie (minus the banana), and it did not disappoint! I'm looking forward to visiting again and working my way through their menu. They provide a punch card, which is even more incentive for me to keep coming back. Grateful for another tasty local business!

I searched the web and found this delightful little slice of heaven in gray, just up the road from Portland, maybe 20 minutes or so. So I figured I would take a chance and went over there, to my surprise they had over 200 flavors listed on the board with more in their binder behind the counter. The selection there is incredible, I plan to work my way through the menu starting with pomegranate base tease. They have frequent flyer cards, on Sundays you get double punches, you also get punches for take-home tea kits that you purchase and they do fine little things throughout the week like spin the wheel and other daily specials. The staff are incredibly nice and patient, as they understand the menu takes a bit to peruse through. They are ready to make anything you want. Love this place, it's my new go to!

I liked the interior of the shop too as it was clean and had plenty of space to sit indoors or outdoors. I was immediately greeted and placed on order for the Strawberry smoothie bowl to try. They do ask you what toppings you want to add and start listing off all the fruit available but i made sure to check what is included and what is an extra charge. Turns out only one fruit is included in the $15 charge and then any extra added is another $1. If i didn't ask they don't specify this which i could see leading to some issues and a very pricey bowl. My bowl came out in probably 10-15 minutes and there were only two other girls before me waiting for theirs so i could see if they were busy it would be a longer waiting time. The bowl was tasty but nothing to get too excited over. I feel like it needed more toppings and was mostly smoothie liquid. The peanut butter is as good as i've heard so i did want more of that in it. I think they really skimped on the fruit toppings - it's a $15 bowl with only banana and strawberries on it so i think more would've been appropriate. Not a bad experience but i don't think i have a reason to come back unless i want to spend a lot of money to add more or extra toppings.

My husband tells me the space was previously occupied by an ice cream stand, which makes sense. Admittedly, I had too much fun the night before and wasn't feeling so hot when I visited. I had a Dragon bowl previously at the Portland location and I thought it was just what my body needed so I got it again but without peanut butter. I was shocked at how quickly the freshly made bowl came out and also shocked at how long it stayed very thick and frozen for, especially since it was a hot summer day. The bowl was delicious as always and I immediately wished I could have a second. The bowls are really really loaded with cold, thick smoothie (acai or dragon fruit base), fresh fruit on top, Grandy's Organic oats (local), peanut butter, Nutella, or honey drizzle. It's a feel good, super food, meal that I'm officially addicted to.
