When reading the reviews the only negative you're going to see is "wait time". If you know take out, you know ways around this "negative". But with that being said me and my lady ordered 2 açaí bowls and they were ready in about 12-15 minutes. Not a problem for us. You can make your own bowl or choose from pre made recipes.

We ordered the Fit açaí bowl for our friend to take home, and she absolutely LOVED it. We weren't hungry enough to get anything for ourselves, but I appreciated how the guy at the counter asked if we wanted anything drizzled on top. We chose almond butter (and silently prayed our friend didn't have a nut allergy ). Turns out, that was the best choice because she said the almonds were her favorite part. Now we're definitely curious and will have to come back to try the bowls for ourselves next time!

The service was fine, not very welcoming but straight to the point. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

The menu is long and varied. There is definitely something for everyone here. We ordered a decaf cappuccino to start. Warning, unless you specify a regular size they will bring you the large, 16 ounce by default. I would prefer if they asked what size we wanted first. We ordered the shakshuka, the veggie georgian cheese pie and the soufflé pancake. The pancake takes 20-30 minutes and cones with a bit of whip cream some fruit and syrup. Overall the shakshuka and the pie were very good. The soufflé pancake was a bit of a let down. Let's just say I've had better Japanese soufflé pancakes elsewhere. I would likely go back and try some of their other dishes.

Their Holiday Earl grey latte (chef's kiss), Dirty Chai, pistachio cold foam Blondie, Matcha, and their Spanish Latte. Not a single one of these drinks were too strong or too sweet. The perfect coffee for someone who typically goes for your basic flavored cold iced tea at Starbucks; here I want coffee. Their dessert display makes walking away without an accompanying pastery so difficult. Their cookies, and personal pies are amazing. I have yet to try their food but their selection is very appealing and I will surely be back to try something out. They are a fairly busy shop and their service is often times a little slow paced; something to be mindful of when visiting.

We had to go get them ourselves. The reasoning was they were warming them Up. Hmm they tasted stale. But what bothered me the most is that they wipe down the tables with lemon pledge.

Definitely not cleaning the table for us. A little more customer care and a real cleaning process would go a long ways to getting 5 stars from me.
