The bowl was fixed beautifully but I was a little under whelmed with the taste of the açaí base. It tasted like bananas and nothing else. I am not a fan of bananas and know it's added to thicken up the base but that's all I could taste and then there was no sweetness in the bowl minus the peanut butter. I got the 16 oz bowl and it ran about $14 because I added a fruit.

It came with açaí, almond milk, bananas, peanut butter, strawberries, whey protein, granola, blueberries, and Nutella. It was pretty good overall, but the combo of Nutella and peanut butter on top was a little too much for me. Though I'll admit, I'm pretty simple when it comes to bowls. The place itself was cute, clean, and the employees were friendly. I'd go back to try something a little more basic next time.

I've been to Teaspoon a few times since they have opened a while ago. They have a great variety to…read moretheir menu. While the selections are good; I find them to be on the sweeter side even after adjusting sweetness to be 25% or below. The store is small, cute, clean. Staff is friendly and smiling. The order took no time to make. I ordered a Guava Sunset with 25% sweetness during my most recent visit which was refreshing yet still too sweet for me. I'd order again and go down to 10% sweetness. Guava Sunset - Freshly blended guava & pineapple marmalade w/ a splash of lemon juice.

The boba I will say are really good. The perfect texture and sweetness. The tea is not too strong. I am a tea person and this place is more sweet drinks. I always get 10-25% sweetness and even then the ratio is surprising. If I am at the summit and think boba is a good idea, sure I'll grab one from teaspoon, but I would not go out of my way.

I love their smoked salmon salad here! I've also tried their hummus dish and it was also…read moredelicious!! I wish they had more seating however. If they're busy you're going to wait for a long time, and probably have no where to sit. This is a great place if you need a quick bite to eat or grabbing lunch on the go. Definitely not a great place to sit down and eat or eating with a group of people.

I recently visited Kale Me Crazy in Homewood, and it's a great option if you're looking for…read morevegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free choices. The seating inside is a bit limited, so it can feel crowded during busy hours, but I noticed that they do a lot of to-go orders, which makes sense for a place like this. It seems perfect for grabbing something quick and healthy. I ordered the kale salad, and it was really good. It tasted fresh and light, which is exactly what I wanted. Sometimes it's hard to find something filling without meat, but this salad definitely satisfied me. My friend ordered the vegan wrap, and we were impressed that you can substitute the wrap for a gluten-free option. She said it tasted just like a regular wrap, which is great for people with dietary restrictions who don't want to sacrifice flavor! I had a great experience at Kale Me Crazy! It is a solid choice if you're looking for fresh, healthy options in the Homewood area. I would definitely go back!

I always like to try new coffee places and since I've never been to a Dutch Bros, I had been…read moreanxiously awaiting their opening. But here lately it's been so busy they have police directing traffic so I decided to wait a few weeks before I tried it. I went on a Tuesday morning and I ended up ordering the golden Eagle hot. I could tell there was a new person taking my order, but he did very well. It did not take me long to get my drink but the way the drive-through is that you have to wait behind people so it's not a two lane drive-through like some other coffee places. You can download the app and then get some freebies after a while. I will definitely be back.

Not going to lie, I felt silly asking for the Tiger's Blood Zero Sugar Rebel. I was also glad I had downloaded the app so I knew what I wanted so I wasn't gawking at the menu trying to decide. It was fantastic! I had just gotten through at the gym, and it was so refreshing. It made me happy enough I decided to pull over a half-mile down the road to take my Yelp photos. It comes with Sugar-free Coconut and Sugar-free Strawberry, but I'm not sure I would have been able to tell you those were the flavors if I hadn't read it on the menu. The medium has 85 mg of caffeine, so slightly less than a cup of coffee. Glad to have Dutch Bros nearby, and I look forward to trying some more flavors, no matter how awkward ordering it makes me feel.

The ramen was comforting and flavorful without being too heavy, perfect for a quick, windy night. The popsicle was such a fun add-on and balanced everything out with something sweet, also so soft and chewy. The decor is definitely a vibe. The neon sign, the modern lighting, and the clean black and yellow aesthetic make it a really cute place to hang out. Would definitely come back to try drinks next time.

Although there's staff, there's also some kiosks to order from. The hitech menus are a nice touch. The matcha latte was even nicer. It was sweet with chocolate drizzle to go along with the rich umami of the green tea. A friend of mine ordered a Vietnamese coffee and they said it was great (I could also tell by how quickly they drank it).

My family and I were each able to try a free small drink, which was a great way to experience the menu. I went with the white chocolate cold brew. Smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. It had that clean coffee finish without being watered down or syrup-heavy. We came back on April 8, 2026, during community hours, and again got to try another small drink. This time I switched it up and went with the blackberry cobbler wildberry smoothie. Completely different lane, but just as enjoyable. It was rich, fruity, and dessert-like without being overwhelming. What really stands out at this location is the energy and service. The staff brings a level of enthusiasm you don't always see. Friendly, engaging, and moving with purpose. Even with the crowd during opening events, things felt organized and upbeat. Ambiance note: It's a drive-thru experience, but the vibe is carried by the team. The music, the greetings, the overall interaction makes it feel like more than just a quick stop. Helpful tip: If you're new, take advantage of events like this or ask for recommendations. The menu has a lot of options, and the staff seems more than willing to help you find something you'll like. Overall, strong start. Good drinks, great service, and an energy that makes you want to come back
