My favorite spot to grab a diatery bowl with ingredients that support my digestive system as well as 30 grams of protein and some fiber

Had a horrible experience. I was waiting over 30 minutes to receive one bowl and to make matters worse it wasn’t even filled properly and the toppings were severely lacking in terms of their usual standard.

Perfect place to grab something healthy that doesn't feel like a chore. Everything has that fresh, quality taste, and you feel good knowing you're eating right. The smoothies and bowls are both fantastic. Highly suggest it!

I love their bowls. Not too sweeet and option to add dates. I also love the pb granola. The staff is beyond accommodating and I never feel weird asking for modifications. Everyone is so kind and informative and they work diligently to get orders done. When it's busy I never feel rushed though I can tell they have loads of orders to fulfill from online demand. Really love this place and these people!

Really disappointed this time. I paid $14 for this bowl and it’s not even full. I’ve been a regular customer here, this was honestly surprising and frustrating. Didn’t expect this at all. I don’t think I’ll be coming back after this.

I always order from here via DoorDash/uber eats. Tonight I placed my order at 9:10pm, finally was ready to be picked up at 10:11pm. Had a previous dasher cancel the order. They may have been busy due to it being a Saturday night but this has me rethinking ordering from here sadly. For reference I ordered one açaí bowl and an order of the protein waffles.

Hi, thank you for your feedback and we’re really sorry for the delay you experienced with your order. That night we were extremely busy and short on staff, which led to the longer wait time. We truly appreciate your patience and support. We’d like to make it up to you — please visit us in-store on your next visit and mention this message, and we’ll gladly offer you a free Açaí bowl. We hope to see you again soon and give you a much better experience!

First time coming in and I had such an amazing experience! Debbie greeted me so warmly. Service was outstanding and my bowl was absolutely yummy. Definitely coming back :)

Saw the guy making the açaí bowl drop a glove and put it back on but the smoothie still tasted great. My friend's order was delicious too.

Terrible service, two young men making 1 protein bowl for 40 mins and ignoring the customer!!!

Only using cashew milk for the majority of items on the menu is a bit much. People have allergies. I have a cashew allergy and cannot consume most of the items, smoothies, or bowls.
Response from the owner · July 29, 2025
We also use coconut water and orange juice as well. You can substitute with two other options instead off cashew milk.
