I am leaving this review based on my first (& last) visit. I'm not quite sure how they serve açai…read moreberry bowls with no fresh berries. Straight out the gate, it sounded like all of their berry bowl toppers belonged in a frozen yogurt spot. We got 2 bowls - Topped with "Nutella", which come to find out after tasting is actually sugar-free chocolate syrup. Why not just call it chocolate syrup instead of a brand name Hazelnut flavored chocolate spread, which is absolutely nothing like the tasteless syrup that they offer? Whipped cream - had a really funky taste to it, which the server agreed with... Both of my kids asked me to remove it from theirs. $28 for two açai bowls that ended up getting thrown in the trash. The two stars is for the service as she replaced the toppings once I scraped off all of the whipped cream and chocolate syrup. I would have no reason to come here again and trust anything - plus, if that's how much just an açai bowl was then my money is better spent somewhere I know the product is going to be amazing. Thai place was a total bust for me.

I especially loved the one with the dates. It was rich, naturally sweet, and super satisfying. The avocado toasts are also really good. The heirloom tomato one is my favorite, and adding pesto on top made it even better. I also really liked the protein whey cold foam on the matcha. It tasted just like whipped cream. I really appreciate that they create drinks tailored for different needs, including options that support women postpartum & pregnancy and with men's hormone health in mind. It's clear they put intention behind both the ingredients and the overall concept. also the service is incredible. the place is adorable. and there's cute outside seating.

They use Nekohama matcha, which is actually ceremonial grade unlike many places that claim "ceremonial" but are really using lower-quality powder. They also have the most incredible colostrum cold foam matcha and strawberry matcha. But honestly, my favorite part of the shop is the people. Everyone is so friendly, and the owner is always making thoughtful updates and experimenting with new ideas, which makes the whole place feel really special.

The birria tacos (birriongos) were perfectly crispy on the outside, loaded with tender, slow-cooked shredded beef, and had just the right amount of melty cheese.

The plate came with all the necessary fixings: fresh onions, cilantro, salsa, and a lime wedge to cut through the richness.

A lot of people around were working, catching up with friends, going on first dates, it was a fun place to get energy and people watch. But the drinks and food are miss or barely hit. The food looks great, the toasts are always gorgeous and delicious. The drinks were unfortunately, very disappointing. I got a large Kauai smoothie and it isn't bad, coconut water, pineapple, strawberry, and banana in a large (24oz) and it tastes like crunchy coconut water. But for $13 I feel like it could've been a lot better. A friend got the morning blend smoothie bowl ($16.50) and an iced London Fog (6) but also didn't like any of it in the end. Describing the London fog as the worst one in her entire life, and only ate the bananas on top of the smoothie bowl. I think personally it's on me that I didn't get one of their signatures, I am a BIG fan of almost every raspberry white mocha I had, but didn't end up getting them, will go next time! The pastries in the window looked so delicious too, but an almost $30 cafe visit is not in my budget as much as I hope it was. I love that they're so accommodating for different restrictions and life goals though, I have multiple friends who don't take seed oils, different milks, vegans, or gluten free and they have an option for literally everyone. I'm so glad they're here!
