My family and I love absolutely everything about this shake store. The shop is trendy and always clean. When walking in, it always gives a positive vibe. Most important the staff and owners Mark and Jena always make sure to have the freshest ingredients for the customers. They always make sure we are comfortable and happy with what we order. We also love that they offer a drive through and a curb side order section. This is great when I'm running errands with the kids. They offer a wide variety of juices, shakes, coffees, and my fav their famous Açai Bowls. Extremely kid friendly as well. I highly recommend!! read more

Their Detox System, availability of healthy meal preps, and convenience of a drive-thru make this my go-to place for a healthy meal or snack!

The ambiance is very chill with music playing in the background. We were nicely greeted and given time to see the menu before being asked if this was our first time here. The girl was very nice in letting us know how the menu was and even made suggestions of their best sellers. They do offer the " buzzed" ( alcoholic) ice cream as it's their specialty however they have non- " buzzed " ice cream as well. I liked that even thought they have their recommended flavors, you can still modify them. We got the death by chocolate, but changed the base to vanilla flavor ice cream. I enjoyed seeing how they made the ice cream with nitrogen . Flavors are very rich. It is very cute inside I like that they have an "instagramable" wall with different back grounds. Some of the tables have table games like Jenga , ring toss, and some card games . If you are around the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

By the way the pink leche was consistently served, and probably the best I have tasted. In the Corpus Christi area, the condensed sweet milk was only poured over the top. Here the condensed sweet milk was throughout the entire cup. The inside sitting area is very clean. Service was good; however, the first time was a younger lady who was friendlier and the second time there an older lady that didn't seem to speak English very well, which then I tried my Tex-Mex to communicate. We will be back to try a salty snack.

The place is very busy, but despite that the wait was only 10 minutes at 10:00 am on a Saturday. The hostess and our server were both very friendly. The place advertises that it specializes in home cooked comfort foods so we figured we'd have to see how their biscuits and gravy were. We ordered a 1/2 order and it came with a biscuit split in half and covered with gravy and sausage. The flavor was perfect - it definitely lived up to 'home cooked comfort food'. I ordered an omelette - three cheeses, sausage, bacon and ham with onions, cilantro and jalapeños - which came with refried (black) beans. The omelette was very good - flavorful and fresh. They actually use slices of cheese inside and on top - I've never had an omelette prepared that way but it was very good. When I first tasted the salsa I was not a fan - it was warm and had a different flavor - then I put it on the omelette and - great pairing and great flavor combo. The refried black beans were sadly underwhelming - no real flavor. I know they were homemade but they were missing the flavor that usually comes with refried beans (black or pinto) My wife had the quiche which had onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms and cheese. It was very good. Even the crust was good. She ordered the breakfast potatoes as the side. The flavor of the potatoes was excellent. Half of them were lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which were great; the other half were overcooked and became potato chips - good flavor but not a breakfast potato. We will definitely come back to try their lunch food and dessert (we were too full today). They have a good variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items on the menu so there is something for everyone. We were glad we stopped in.
