I highly recommend signing up for an account with the app so you don't ever have to wait in line and so that you can get your free drink & score points for other free items. It's pretty easy to use and I definitely order from here more often than I normally would because of how convenient it is. I've been here several times and am still trying different items on the menu. The best smoothie has definitely been the pink flamingo, my kids love it too. They really should make a kid size or kids menu. Wasn't happy with the pineapple matcha, even without the protein its very chalky and probably because they used way too much matcha or not enough frozen pineapple. It was actually better the first time I tried it with the pea protein but not good enough to try again. The dragon fruit açaí bowl is really tasty, add the chia pudding tho. Looking forward to trying more new things on the menu here.

It's a convenient spot and a perfect wellness go-to for anyone looking for healthy, flavorful drinks or a quick, nutritious boost!

It is so nice to have baristas that care to make great drinks, provide great service, and make things move quickly. Their whole system is just human and rooted in good customer service, which is rare nowadays. They definitely make the best strawberry matcha.

Not only…read moreis the coffee incredible, but the care, attention -- and dare I say -- love the drinks are made with us evident with the first sip. My favorites here are either the Augustine or Elias, depending on my mood. Both are phenomenal, not too sweet, and hits the spot as far as coffee goes. They've even gone out of their way to make my littles an iced 'hot chocolate', which they LOVED! The service is superb!!! The baristas (and even the owner who works at the shop occasionally) are extremely kind, and talk with you like an actual human rather than rushing to get you through the line, which is refreshing. Although it may look like a hipster vibe type of coffee shop, don't let that fool you. This is by far my favorite and, in my opinion, the best coffee shop in the area. Incredible coffee and superb service!

I ordered a mango delight. It was not busy with just one customer ahead of me and one came shortly after. The girl took my order then proceeded to go in the back. All the customers got their drinks while I did not. Another worker asked if I needed help and I said I ordered and never got my drink. She then called the girl from the back who took my order to make my drink. She rolled her eyes and made my drink. Absolutely flavorless and didn't fill up my cup there was drink left in the blender. Terrible smoothie for $10 and it wasn't even a full drink.

The coffee milk tea (30% sweet, less ice) is more coffee forward, but I can still taste the tea. The coffee jelly is nice new addition to the menu. Unfortunately, adding this meant removing herbal jelly and Aiyu jelly from the menu! Hopefully this is a temporary change and they will bring both of those OG jellies back at some point! The Popcorn chicken is a perfect snack. It looks like they use dark meat (yay) and a good marinade. They do appear to have been precooked and reheated upon ordering, though. This is likely due to kitchen and time constraints. While it would have been better freshly fried, the chicken was flavorful and pretty good. The staff was very sweet and explained how they make the coffee jelly fresh in-house and described their new secret menu items as well (which includes the seemingly ubiquitous Vietnamese coffee). The space is airy and quiet when I entered. Music is played at a low level, for soothing ambiance.

I ordered the Banana Berry Treat with bananas, strawberries, raspberries, papaya juice, and protein. I was a little concerned that the raspberries might make it too tart, but it was perfectly balanced and tasted great. We were all very happy with our choices, and the smoothies were the perfect way to cool down on a hot Arizona day. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.

If you ever wanna sit there, they do have a booth that fits maybe 2 to 3 people. It was a suprise to see all different kind of base flavors, and the owner was there and let them know all the ends and out of their base flavors and gave them many of samples they were excited that they can build their own bowl. Keep in mind they do have menus that gives you an option of base fruit, protein toppings keep in mind also for the granola even though it says house and gluten-free granola. It is all gluten-free, which is not a problem at all. The fruit in the bowl tasted fresh. The bases were all amazing. You can also half-and-half they don't skimp on anything there. if you were unsure what to get, they also have a menu on the board that gives options and combinations that you can also edit if you see it you should've checked them out.
