My daughter has been seeing all these influencers eating their açaí bowls and she had to try one…read more I didn't even know what one was, let alone that Blend existed. We came in and were greeted with warm smiles. There were so many options it was overwhelming to decide. The person working was polite and told us to take our time. If we didn't have somewhere to be, we would have loved to ask questions. We had to decide quickly, so my daughter picked the açaí bowl with bananas and strawberries. It was on the pricey side, I think around $8-9, but we figured it was worth it for the health benefits. The portion size made the cost seem more reasonable too! From order to delivery was less than 5 minutes and we were able to leave on time for our other commitment. Unfortunately, the açaí had a very unique flavor, and one my daughter was not a big fan of. I tried it and felt the same. She described it as tasting like chemicals, but I thought it must have been the natural after taste of the açaí berry. She ate the fresh fruit and add ins and begrudgingly scooped a little of the açaí in the process. I tried to eat what was left, but eventually had to let it go. All this said, we understand that açaí is probably just not our thing and based in the many options, we'll come back to try a smoothie or another healthy treat. So I highly recommend you check it out and perhaps ask for a sample to see if it is something you like. I don't know if that's an option here, but it seems like a place that would honor that.

Not sure if it was the owner who gave me a sample of the peanut butter granola and peanut butter chia pudding, but it was a perfect helping just "to try" and, wow, but my heart was warmed when a person of need walked into the place and she she handed him a banana. It was clear that the interaction was routine, but she had no problem giving him something to eat and it made me so joyous to see such a charitable thing. She also spoke to him like a person, not as someone that would be less because he has less. Clearly this place is run by a good person too. Bonus: the young man behind the counter made a little too much for my small smoothie so upgraded my size at no charge. Thank and God bless!

Perfect place on a hot summer day!

I came here on a hot summer day after dining for lunch outside at a restaurant nearby. If I would have known earlier about this place, I would have saved some room to try their acai bowls. Parking - lots of free parking near Outdoor walk through option available for those that have dogs and want to order / pick up from outside. Atmosphere - great to come hangout with friends, family or by yourself to get some work / reading done. Washroom - the toilets don't flush well and it wasn't the most clean washroom I've seen.. Costs - ranges from $5.99-$13+ depending on what you order.. may be costly for a drink but it's yummy & fresh fruit! Handcrafted bowls, breakfast bowls, smoothies to wellness shots Pink Flamingo Smoothie ($8.59 small / $10.59 regular) - the smoothie isn't only pretty in color but also tastes great! It is healthy with its mixture of fruits and not too sweet, just right on sweetness level (doesn't tastes like those drinks loaded with sugar)..if you like extremely sweet drinks maybe ask for more agave nectar added I'll be back to try their acai bowls if I'm in the area

I went back because I really wanted to try their Korean Fried chicken wings. If you've read my…read moreprevious review and then you know that I applaud Cloud Tea for providing different ethic cuisine (especially korean) here in the LITH, Algonquin, and CL area. I had no lunch plans and I knew exactly what I wanted for lunch. I arrive and the girl at the counter was having a bad day and I could tell. She avoided all any eye contact with me, she did not want to engage in any small talk and she was there to receive a pay check and that was that. Ok fine, I get it we all have bad days, just get me my food then. I ask her "how spicy is the spicy check wings?" So goes, "they are alright spicy." WTF, I'm giving a puzzling look and I'm not sure how to respond to that statement but whatever, I get it your cat died, your bf just broke up with you, your car insurance just went up 5%, sure I get it. I place an order for the spicy chicken wings and I wait. I take in the ambiance and it's a great place to chill and grab some bubble tea and lunch. I wait about ten mins and my wings are ready! When I walked up to get my wings I noticed there was some mochinut and I had to get some! I get three flavors, strawberry, taro, and green tea and then I head home to sample the food with my family. First up were the wings, they were scary looking but in a spicy kind of way. Was my stomach and whatever after comes after ready for these wings? I sure hope so! So I went in for my first bite and I was pleasantly surprised. The wings were super good! The flavoring and everything was fire, flame, hit the spot good. And the spice level was 'alright' (see what I did there?), it had a kick but nothing that my kids couldn't handle. My wife enjoyed the wings as well and she said they were good. I'm glad I stopped by and got the fried chicken wings to try because they were amazingly delicious and I'll be back for more. I finished off my lunch and tried some mochinut and they were good as well and you don't have any complaints from me on the food. The service on the other hand, get a new girl who wants to come to work and put on a smile. Like I said I understand we all have bad days but for me to write it in my review it must have been really bad. Great job on the food Cloud Tea. Happy to have you guys in the area and keep up the good food. You've earned your 4 start review.

Sorry to bring you into this Bob. What I tend to get is always from their traditional brew, hot & black. Their coffee is farm direct, herbicide and pesticide free, bought from small producers. Always rich, bold and satisfying. Every once in a while, I'll have something from their featured items. It always feels like a treat. They have this thumbprint cookie latte and frosted sugar cookie latte right now that is glorious. One sip and I start daydreaming with The Nutcracker theme music playing in my head and I smile. Then my wife asks me what the h is wrong with me and I say "nothing what's for dinner". Also, they have very unique cold items. Go check out their blasts and mocktails. I need to stop by and try their maple waffle breakfast sandwiches. You will notice that even drive thru customer service is very friendly and helpful if you don't know what to order. When you order online it is very customizable which is much appreciated. Biggby is a winner.

I tried the Iced Spotted Owl and really enjoyed it--definitely on the sweeter side, but as a hazelnut fan, it hit the spot. The lemon coffee cake bites were a great add-on. Not too heavy, just the right portion for a quick treat alongside a drink. Huge bonus for me: they have a drive-thru, which makes it super convenient when you're on the go. The service was also great: friendly, quick, and made the whole experience even better. And extra points for being dog-friendly! Their pup cup was huge and such a fun surprise. Always love seeing places go the extra mile for customers with pups.
