The Blueberry Bliss smoothie is probably one of the best smoothies I've ever tasted! And this is…read morecoming from a lady who makes and drinks smoothies regularly. My smoothie standards are sky-high, and the smoothie that I had a Watercolor Cafe was amazing. It was so good that I made everyone at the table taste it, and we agreed: superb smoothie. The Blueberry Bliss has blueberries, banana, white chocolate and oak milk in it. I wish there were a little more nutritious (maybe throw in some flax, hemp seed and/or chia), but maybe that's why it's so delicious. Another delicious thing: the Peanut Butter Deluxe Toast, which is creamy peanut butter and sliced bananas with a drizzle of honey on wheat bread. Super tasty and filling! I got the avocado toast, and it wasn't my favorite. The avocado tasted more like packaged guacamole, and I got it with an egg, which is literally a hard-boiled egg that sits on top. Also, the toast was more like just a soft piece of bread. I mean, I guess technically, all of the components are there, but the execution needed some work. The breakfast burrito was super tasty (it came with chorizo), and one of my kids got the kids' mac and cheese, which came with a cookie. When these guys say that breakfast is served until 11 a.m., they really mean it! We visited around 10:50, wanting to order off of the lunch menu, but they didn't let us. I think the only lunchy offerings during breakfast time is the kids' menu. The seating inside is very cute: There's a craft station with paper, coloring books, and all kinds of colored pencils and things to create something at your table. Outside, you can sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the lake. Dogs are welcome on the patio and given water and a treat!

Ordered a chipotle turkey, bacon on the side, Michelangelo, snickerdoodle latte with oat milk latte, water bottle and a berry infused lemonade. The berry infused lemonade has some fake sugar in it, real sugar would make it better. The blueberries are still frozen, not fresh. Bummer. The snickerdoodle latte with oat milk was good. Flavorful. The chipotle chicken was tasty. The bread was nicely toasted. The Michelangelo was decent until my husband tried to bite into a piece of bone in the chicken. Not cool! Good thing he didn't break a tooth biting into it harder or swallow it whole in the middle of big bite. I did let the staff know about the bone in the chicken. I watched them all examine the bone in the back kitchen. The front desk woman offered to give a refund. I told her it's more important that she was made aware that it occurred than the refund. There are quite a few bees inside the patio. My husband got bitten on the back of his neck while eating lunch. Not a great lunch experience so far.

I had the misfortune of having placed my order after approximately 20 kids and their parents/chaperones had placed theirs. My food was ready about 5 minutes after the scheduled pick up time. My smoothies were 15 minutes late. Normally this would annoy me a bit, but I had a great employee interaction. I sat at the counter and watched a young man make smoothie after smoothie. He was making them 3-4 at a time, moving as quickly and efficiently as possible. He alternated between preparing drinks, cleaning equipment, and handing drinks to customers. I was amazed at how competently he was doing the job. He was pleasant with each customer interaction. My order finally came up. He made my smoothies and placed them in the to go box. As I reached for them, he genuinely apologized for how long I had waited. He was working under pressure, busting his butt, and still took the time to provide a great customer experience. He turned annoying delay into a great experience. The smoothies were good, too.

FRIENDLY because they asked if it was our first time -- since we did not immediately walk over to one of the kiosks to place a "contactless" order -- when we came in. Or, maybe it was the slightly confused-deer-in-headlights-look we had because the place was VERY snug, to say the least? Using order tablet was intuitive, but what if you wanted a 12 oz. pour in a 16 oz. cup? And wanted a sugar packet on the side? Then, you are limited to the options. Potable. Shots in the Dark was OK. Ambiance. Perfect for EXTROVERTS because you hear EVERY conversation in the place at normal conversation level. So, there's a couple that was in town for doing tasting menus for their wedding stuff... gaggle of gals for bachelorette party and posting their experience on socials... remote workers on laptops listening in the cafe conversations.

Not that I don't enjoy healthy food, I just want as much food as possible and in as much quantity as possible. But, sometimes when you're traveling with other people, you have to give in to other options. That being said, I'm glad I was able to find something enjoyable. Which would have been difficult because there were so many choices to be made. I could come back three times a day for fifteen years and try sketching new each time. I could also be lying. But seriously. Choice variety 10/10. My choice bowl was a kale/banana/pineapple/coconut milk base (green bowl), with sliced bananas, blueberries, granola, and hemp seeds. I like fruity/citrusy/juicy fruits, so this sounded the best. I had zero expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. The decision to mix it all together was probably a good one and I ended up eating it all like a weird green bowl banana blueberry cereal. It was a little less fruity than I expected, but still had solid flavor. Taste level 7/10. Because I'm a gluttonous hound, I also thought it would be fun to get a smoothie to add to my already expanding gut. I chose the kowabunga with included banana, blueberry, pineapple, and coconut milk. I expected it to sweeter than it actually was. Though I expect all my foods to be sweet. Flavor profile 6/10. The atmosphere was pretty much par for the course for an establishment like this. Nice open area, waiting chairs, dine in. Several people waiting for to-go orders. The service wasn't terrible. Two workers running the show. That could very well have been the reason there was such a wait on our food. Though I can't imagine putting all the things we ordered together was a speedy situation. Service speed 6/10. Service accuracy 10/10. The three stars ultimately came from the flavors of the items I got not meeting my flavors criteria. And as a certified Chunky Monkey, I need my flavors.
