Okay, so I'm not an açaí bowl connoisseur or anything, but I've tasted enough of them across the…read moreU.S. (and even abroad!) to know what I like. That said, the açaí here was a bit different. The consistency reminded me more of a smoothie than that thick, scoopable texture I usually go for. It's not necessarily bad--just not what I expected. Anyway, just my two cents. Everyone's taste is different, so if you love it, I get it! It's super chill, and there's plenty of space to enjoy yourself!

I am a regular at South Block, and I finally got to try the strawberry smoothie that is a dupe of…read morethe Hailey Bieber Erewhon Smoothie, which I've had before in LA. I was honestly pleasantly surprised by it! I think the flavor profile is spot on and it really is a close comparison. While I do wish it had the coconut element to it instead of the oat whip I would get it again because it's refreshing and has just enough sweetness. I'm excited that South Block is experimenting/ developing new smoothies and can't wait to see what comes next!

I went with the avocado smash toast topped with a poached egg -- and wow, when it came out, it looked like a work of art (almost too pretty to eat). That first bite had amazing flavor and had the perfect texture all around. Honestly, one of the best avocado toasts I've had so far. The staff, incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

A restaurant devoted to gourmet breakfast toasts? Hell yeah! But who are we kidding. Toast isn't…read morejust for breakfast anymore. Which is why I was more than happy to pop in for lunch toast while on a recent biz trip to the area. This is a tiny little spot, and parking is all but impossible to find. But my efforts were richly rewarded with a hearty portion of their tasty tuna toast (served upon a custom wood board of course). It was fresh and tasty, and worth the long wait during the early afternoon rush. I also ordered a latte... which was just meh. But that's probably just the Seattle in me talking.

These cookies are delicious. I'm still very much in awe that they are vegan! They are priced beyond…read morefair. The inside of shop is pretty basic. But none of that matters with cookies so good! Lastly, they keep the cookies warm so that's a HUGE PLUS! This review is more specifically to recognize the customer service of Eli. He was very helpful in helping me choose my selection. He was very patient with me. And his friendly service should be recognized! Thank you Eli. I'll be back to try one of the beverages soon!

If you're a true sweets lover, Midnightreats is absolutely worth the stop…read more These are not your light, airy, grab-and-go cookies. They are thick, dense, warm, and very indulgent. The kind where one cookie can easily be shared (or not lol ). They're rich and sweet, so if you're someone who loves a heavy dessert that feels like a treat-treat, you'll be in heaven. Easily a 10/10 for that category. What really stood out to me was the variety of flavors. I tried the strawberry matcha cookie and was honestly surprised by how much I liked it. It had a really nice balance of flavors and didn't feel gimmicky at all. It's always a risk trying something a little different, but this one definitely paid off. Another thing I appreciated was that they had a section of cookies discounted because they were made the night before. I love when places do this...it's a great way to try more flavors without spending a lot, and honestly, the cookies were still really good. Service-wise, the cashier was super helpful and patient, especially when it came to explaining flavors and giving recommendations. That always makes a difference when you're staring at a case full of options and can't decide.

And when I look to see who came to this lovely sanctuary of heavenly fruits, there was no one there. But when I looked down I saw a hippo walk in. Now I don't know if this hippo got loose at some Zoo but I screamed and when I got up to run out of the store, I was tripped by the purple glob and hurt my toe. Is this supposed to be part of the service? Anyways lovely food and cute hippo, lives up to the tropical name! Thank you.

I am suspect of all the very positive reviews. Too many things went wrong for me to thing that…read morethis was just an off day. I had coffee with an espresso shot and it was good. I was looking or a great breakfast sammy and this place was disappointing. It came up as the #3 of the list of "best breakfast sandwiches around me". Like Starbucks, the breakfast sammy are pre-made and heated. This doesn't qualify. The decor is sterile like a Starbucks got together with Coldstone and launched a Hawaiian coffee shop. The Coldstone reference is that employees "greet" people when they arrive and announce tips. They do it in a half-hearted manner like they are bothered. I'd be bothered too working hard and being forced to do inauthentic customer service. I had to wait 15 minutes for the coffee. I heard one of the employees apologizing to another customer. I would have appreciated him saying something like this to me, "we are shorthanded, can you wait 15 minutes for your coffee?" The barista was calling out customer names when she finished a drink. In my case, she left it in front of a guy who had a large order. It wasn't until he left that I waded over to find my unannounced coffee. Keep in mind that I like offbeat coffee shops that don't feel like a chain. I also have high standards when it come to breakfast sammy's.

When I arrived in the Alexandria location on King Street, no one was at the counter. I waited a few minutes, then finally, a girl came out from the back room. She just looked at me...no expression, no greeting, nothing. So, to break the silence, I said, "I'm here to pick up my order". Once she received my name and went into their glass refrigerator to pull out my gift. She then rudely put it on the counter in front of me and dismissively said, "That's it". Then she walked away into the back room. I guess that really was it, because I had planned on ordering a smoothie! Since I was basically thrown out, I kindly took my business elsewhere. This is Edible Arrangements!! It's supposed to be a pleasant place where people feel happy and are excited about the yummy treats. I've only had good experiences with the online locations, and the Ft Washington, MD location is great, but this Old Town location on King Street was absolutely disappointing with the terrible customer service. On a plus side, the bouquet was nicely done.

Honestly - what in the actual? They delivered a my first order around 9pm (so much for same day)…read more I had ordered another arrangement for Mother's Day at the same time - scheduled to arrive a week later. Given the first experience, tried to cancel the order thereafter. No joy. No chance. So, as with the prior order, this was delivered for mom to enjoy at 10pm. Happy Mother's late night? She sure loved those Mylar balloons and a strange person approaching the house when very dark. This is complete garbage. Do not go here.
