The mint chocolate chip and the moose tracks were both grainy. We don't usually have any ice cream leftover but we did not finish the ice cream. The half extra start would be for the service. The guy was super friendly! And the portions are definitely HUGE (that could also be why we didn't finish all of it. ). I think those two things were good about this place. In any case, overall meh unfortunately.

My friend got the immunity booster juice and the grilled cheese and I got the cup of clam chowder for a little over 5 bucks.

Nothing special about this sandwich and for me to consider it a melt the cheese should be melted well. The pickles that were on the plate looked like they found them when moving the furniture. My spiced chai was about average in taste without being completely watered down. There is room for improvement. This establishment is staffed with children and I love the thought but maybe the lack of management might be the issue to start with.

There were plenty of outdoor tables, including some under two covered porches. Music was playing, and we even got to play a game of cornhole while we waited for our food.

The workers are always nice, and sometimes it takes a while if they are busy because it's usually one person working alone. But if you come at a good time, they make it pretty quick! I love the pizza crepe the most, but the Nutella & banana one and the Gastineau are also pretty good! The smoothies are so tasty too! So far I've tried the Tropical Twister and Caribbean Craze. I will definitely continue to come back, especially because me and my husband both work in the valley.

I've tried the Reuben and the turkey pesto fanatics, and tried a few of the juices. In my opinion, they're a bit strong for my taste, usually it is overpowered by celery or ginger but I drink them because it is good ingredients and fresh. Everything tastes fresh and made in house, it does take a moment to come out of the kitchen. You can eat it there, there are some tables along the side of the wall, or get it to go. Every time I've gone, there are a few people there but it's never been super packed. A very casual place to have lunch, and you can walk around the mall it's connected to afterwards.

The place is clean and the menu is well designed. BUT everything is WAY TOO SWEET from the chai tea to crepes to the waffle. Waffle should either be fluffy or crispy but not dense and starchy.

Inside is very clean and has the menu right next to the register. There are seats with tables and a nice, quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The man behind the register was very patient with my partner and I as we read the menu and decided on what to order. I chose the honeydew with mochi and he chose blueberry with the tapioca balls. The drinks were delicious and the bubbles were also so good. Much better than most of the chain bubble tea/boba places I've tried elsewhere. Bonus, the lids had super cute faces on them. My only thing was that the mochi was slightly too big for the straw, I had to finish my drink then eat the mochi after. But they also tasted delicious so it wasn't a big deal. I will definitely come back, this is my new favorite bubble tea place! I'll also try some of the other teas next time.
