    Latte

    The past few years, I frequently walked past this place and always thought it looked adorable inside, so I finally decided to give it a try. Walking in, it's a cute coffee shop full of plants, board games, and a decent amount of space to do work. I was greeted with a friendly welcome and they were ready to take my order instantly. I got a latte with lavender and vanilla. I was excited to hear that their lavender is literally lavender steeped for flavoring. Usually places use syrup, so it was a refreshing and great alternative to what I'm used to getting! The coffee was delicious and not artificially sweet. Great balance. I will say, it was a a tiny bit pricey for its size but the quality made it worth. I was the only one in the store but it took longer than I'd expect for my coffee to get to me. I probably waited about 7 minutes. Other than that, great ambiance, friendly workers, and the coffee was delicious! I'd come back for sure.

    Drink - A person with visible tattoos on their arm holds a clear plastic cup filled with a pink-colored drink and ice, with a black straw. The cup has the logo 'Native Blends' printed on it. The background shows a sidewalk, parked cars, and a sunny outdoor setting, indicating a warm day.

    Awesome little coffee spot in San Marcos with a perfect retro-meets-modern vibe. Great atmosphere, quality coffee, and an all-around solid place to hang or get some work done. Definitely a local favorite.

    Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie - A person is holding a large chocolate smoothie in a clear plastic cup with a black straw inside a vehicle. The cup has the logo 'The Native Blends.' Outside the vehicle, a parking lot with several cars and a multi-story building are visible under a partly cloudy sky.

    To be clear, this is an Herbalife business. If you are familiar, then you know what to expect. If you aren't you might get surprised. Herbalife products are always powders, artificial flavors, etc. It isn't an inherent downside but this establishment isn't upfront about it being Herbalife unless you ask. On a positive note, some smoothies are made with real fruit add-ins. Prices are not listed overtly so I only saw my price once I got rung up, 1 Smoothie was approx. $8.50. Customer Service: 10/10 The blonde girl who helped me was absolutely amazing. I mentioned it was my first time there and she explained everything to me and answered every question. Very helpful and nice! Protein Smoothie: 6/10 I got a "chocolate covered strawberry" smoothie and it was fairly average for what you get. I had no idea it was Herbalife until right before I ordered so just knowing this, I don't love it but if I liked Herbalife, it'd be 9/10. I just prefer smoothies without super processed powders. Ambiance: 8/10 Smelled like waffles and seems like a wonderful spot to study/hang out with friends! Plenty of seating for the size of space too. Overall, if you like/don't mind Herbalife products, it's a great place. These products cater to a more to a fit lifestyle and if you are looking for protein or pre-workout, this place is for you.

    Camera could not eat first, sorry - The image shows a dessert in a clear plastic container, with a topping of peanut butter and granola on one side, and a scoop of berry-flavored ice cream on the other. The peanut butter and granola appear moist and textured, while the berry ice cream has a deep red color. The container's rim is visible at the top of the image.

    WOW. Exactly what we needed in our lives. We were passing through town and this was the first to come up. The owner, Elmer is a good conversationalist but he blew my husband and I away with how BOMB the açaí bowls are. We got peanut butter, strawberry, banana, and granola on açaí. DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.

    Cute hang out spot. I got the Elvis and dark cherry tea. Chill vibes, nice people, good drinks. - Two cold beverages in clear plastic cups with lids and straws are placed on a wooden counter inside a cafe. The drink in the foreground appears to be a chocolate or mocha flavored beverage with a drizzle of syrup on the cup. The second drink, positioned behind, is a pink-colored beverage. The cafe interior features large windows, seating areas with chairs and tables, and a mix of natural and artificial lighting, creating a casual atmosphere.

    Cute local shop. Chill vibes, nice people, organic drinks. I got the Elvis and black cherry tea.

    Açaí bowl! Strawberry, banana, and granola!

    Friendly atmosphere, wonderful suggestions for my first time eating a açaí bowl! Only one worker yet he made the environment feel really open. Prices on things are pretty good as well I definitely recommend this! Elmer the owner is such a great dude definitely going to be stopping by here more often!

    Pistachio shake - A hand with a beaded bracelet holds a large, green smoothie from The Native Blends, featuring a black straw and a clear plastic lid. The background shows the storefront with large glass windows and a sign reading 'The Native,' under a blue sky with some clouds.

    Such a unique spot for San Marcos! Great interior, love the vibe, they also have art and vintage clothes for sale which is a cool touch. They're always doing something involving giving back to the community which really goes a long way. Not to mention- amazing tea and shakes! 10/10 will be back

    Snickerdoodle Protein Shake - A person is holding a large, creamy smoothie in a clear plastic cup labeled 'Native' inside a car. The cup has a black straw, and the person's hand is visible gripping the cup. The background shows a city street with trees, buildings, and parked cars through the windshield. The interior of the vehicle includes a dashboard and steering wheel.

    Drop everything and order a snickerdoodle protein shake! I promise it's worth every single cent. Delicious, thick, full of protein. The owner was very nice and plans to expand the menu. I can't wait to go back soon to try more things! Also, love the vibe of the business. Hope to see more places like this spring up in San Marcos

    WonderWorld Tea

    Cool vibe Great customer service! The tea was really good and there were lots of options

    Cinnamon Roll Waffle - The image shows a table with a plate of waffles and syrup, a small elephant figurine, and a potted plant with large green leaves. The table is positioned near a window, through which parked cars and a building with a blue roof are visible. The scene suggests a casual dining setting, possibly in a cafe or restaurant.

    Really chill place, they play good music and it's nice for studying. The waffle was good just a little expensive in my opinion. The workers are really patient with you, this was my first time here and they were helpful. They allow pets!

    Peanut butter pancake shake - A person is holding a blended drink in a clear plastic cup with a black straw, inside a vehicle. The cup has the logo 'The Native Blends' printed on it. The background shows the interior of the vehicle and some trees outside the window.
