Also cannot forget about their pastry case where they have some insanely tasty goods! I finally had the chance to dine in recently and service was friendly, helpful, and swift. Fair warning you may have shared seating if it gets too crowded inside, but it's doesn't feel too packed even if you are at shared seating. The bar is also beautiful and cozy. The coffee is delicious and I definitely need to go back to try the matcha! All in all, this is a great spot for coffee, matcha, pastries, or a delicious breakfast/brunch. Swing by and try it out yourself because I will say the cost is absolutely worth it for the quality!

The kind of place where you expect someone to be editing a documentary on a laptop made of recycled aluminum. Late afternoon visit, so the hipster crowd had clearly skateboarded back to their respective creative labs. I had the place to myself. Prime auditing conditions. First impression? This place is built for volume. You can tell. Efficient layout. Assembly-line potential. If bowls were a factory sport, this would be a playoff team. Ordered the Home Grown. Took a quick bathroom break. Came back and -- boom -- bowl was already on the counter. FAST. And it looked elite. Then I saw it. A generous dollop of peanut butter at the top, sprinkled with hemp seeds. I almost got emotional. It felt like flying over your hometown after months away. Familiar. Safe. Right. First bite? Delicious. Smooth. Creamy. Almost like frozen yogurt or soft serve. Easy eating. Crowd-pleasing texture. And then... I looked up. Another bowl was being made. The açaí base was coming out of a soft-serve machine. As a purist, this one hurt. I want hand-scooped. Blender-blade symphony. Crafted, not dispensed. I had a small internal crisis. But here's the problem: I really enjoyed it. So now I'm torn between my values and my taste buds. Would I go back? Yes. Would I wrestle internally again? Also yes.

The design is quite fun-- all along the walls are mounted a number of fishbowl-type glass containers that hold plants. It makes the place feel very cozy and brings some life and color into the room. The person working at the counter was lovely. She was super enthusiastic, asked us questions about what we were doing, and provided recommendations for places to check out in the area. She made our drinks very fast-- I don't think we had to wait more than a couple of minutes. The drinks were very good. I got their lemon tea, and my partner got the sea salt cream tea. Mine was nice and sweet, his was not sweet at all (to both of our preferences). The one thing I didn't love is that their tapioca pearls were very soft. I like a little more chew to my boba, but I know that's personal preference. Overall, we had a great time and the customer service was excellent.

The cafe is absolutely lovely with a minimalist decor and plenty of lighting. We didn't stay too long as we had our fur babies with us so I went to order and pay while my boyfriend was holding onto the fur babies. The employee was friendly and professional. They had quite a bit of offerings both what you find at other places and some specialty ones. My boyfriend got their Brown Sugar Ube Bubble Milk Tea and I got their Tiki's Classic Tea. The drinks were made to perfection as it was refreshing and the right amount of sweetness. The drinks didn't take too long to receive, though they weren't too busy either.

Not sure if that's intentional, but I'm used to açaí being a little more on the firm side. The saving grace was the whipped coconut cream on top - that is definitely unique and tasted amazing. Also loved the honey drizzle on top since the açaí was just, I don't know, missing something. Didn't have any tang or sweetness to it. Kind of disappointing, but kind of ok. Maybe I'll try the smoothie next time. As for the açaí, I prefer Everbowl but hey at least I tried.

Owners Jimmy & Elaine were inspired by drinks they had while traveling and spent a lot of time figuring out which limes to use that they could get here in the PNW. They started at the farmers market and now have a small brick and mortar. It's a business story that Portland loves! The drinks are great. Super unique, and a little pricey for a beverage, so I can see how they might not be to everyone's tastes. But they're hand-smashed, dialed-in recipes, that are both sweet and sour, refreshing with a kick. So far I've tried the Winging It, Passionate, and Slacker - they have three others I'd like to try and you can always build your own creation by choosing the tea base, added flavors, and toppings.

I got the Ginger Lemonade, it tasted refreshing at first but you had to drink in quickly as the ice melted away which altered the flavor. I liked the kick of a freshly squeezed ginger. My daughter enjoyed the Berry Rico (Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries & banana, almond milk), not too thick or liquified though it tasted more banana than berries.

She had nothing but good things to say about her sweet potato bowl and tropical smoothie. I've tried their tropical and berry tropical smoothies and both were so yummy. The seating could be a hit-or-miss. It really depends on the time. It might be harder for a party of 2+ to find a table right away. Parking could also be a challenge. It's a busy neighborhood and there isn't a private lot or anything. The pricing of the food and a drink to pair could easily cost you $20+/person (without tip)! To me, it's worth it for the price. I get a comfortable full. But might not be totally worth it for others.

I originally went to another establishment across the street and I sat down, looked at the menu and got up and walked out. I passed this place on my way to the place. I was originally headed and wanted to come back. It was lunchtime and they had open sitting and I noticed the hockey game was on all the TV screens. There was open seating. The bartender took my order at my table. I decided to get the barbecue chicken calzone and the garlic fries. The barbecue chicken calzone came with pulled chicken cheddar cheese, onions and barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce was perfect sweet spicy Tan. Everything you want and a great barbecue sauce. I did ask for marinara because there were some sides of the bread on the calzone that I dipped in the pizza sauce.. perfect! I told the bartender what I'd like to drink, and he made some concoction a.k.a. his own version with ginger, beer and whiskey. The calzone was great. The fries were amazing. My beverage was perfect and right on time. Nice hometown feel local sports vibe, the USA Olympic team had just won gold in women's ice hockey. This may be a must-stop next time I'm in Portland.
