I live down the road and just recently saw one of their tik toks. Looking further into their social…read moremedias, I decided to try it. I got a Strawberry Starburst Redbull with sugar free which was cute and good. I also got my bf a Ice Ribbon Crunch Latte and he enjoyed it, said even though it was sweet you can still taste the coffee. I will say that before I came it was difficult to read their menu online or gauge if there were sugar free options. I will attach a photo of their menu in person, in hopes it might be easier to read on your phone when thinking about what to order. Additionally, I will say the barista was kind and willing to explain everything thoroughly, so I knew what I was ordering. I will emphasize that this is a drive through coffee stand. Their decor is adorable and very inviting for people wanting to enjoy a creative drink.

We're in town visiting our son from California, saw Starbucks across the way from Brewed Awakenings…read morebut we're the type that like supporting the local spots over the big corporate joints so we decided to stop here. I can give you my take on the coffee, but if you're like me, coffee is coffee!! So you'll have to check this place out for yourself to determine whether or not this place is your cup of tea or not!! What compelled me to write this review was the very welcoming and pleasant demeanor of the two young ladies working here this morning. While busy working hard turning out the drink orders, one of the baristas totally engaged us in conversation. She was attentive, to us and just overall very pleasant in her demeanor. I'm an old school kinda guy so I appreciate the feeling of the good ole days when life was slower and people still cared about each other enough to initiate and carry on a conversation. It's a little thing by today's standards but boy does it impact your day in such a positive way. As if our experience in and of itself wasn't already pleasant enough, a customer ahead of us paid for our coffee order this morning. Some days God's goodness just overfills our cups. Today has the beginnings of being one of those days. Thank you to the two ladies working this morning (8-24-26) and to whoever was nice enough to pay for our coffee order this morning!! We will do our part to pay it forward!! Our stay in the state of Washington has started off beautifully!! Thank you for being so welcoming!! We'll see you again before we leave back home.

They have a nice canvas sail overhead to give some shade for seating. The inside is super small. Not what I was expecting. It was similar to Salt & Straw on the Vancouver Waterfront. It's definitely a grab and go type of establishment. I didn't see any baked goods displayed at all. Maybe they've done away with those options?! They had a nice variety of ice-cream flavors to choose from, including non-dairy selections. They also had floats. I decided on the single scoop Mint Cookies & Cream. It was absolutely delicious, and fresh! No freezer burn whatsoever, and plenty of cookies throughout. The mint flavor wasn't too overpowering either. It was the perfect after lunch treat! Staff was okay. Not super friendly at all. She didn't say much when I walked in either. I was the only one in there. It looked like you could sample some of their flavors too, but I wasn't sure if the extra interaction was welcomed. Definitely a different customer service vibe than Salt & Straw; their employees are so friendly and personable. Overall an okay experience. The ice-cream was delicious, but customer service lacking.

Was greeted after I was seated but it took another 10 minutes to get my order which I had to emphasize I was ready for both food and beverage order. My Americano (pictured) came in this massive mug versus the smaller one and what used to be a sweet presentation. I ordered a basic classic breakfast. Sad that they deep-fry the potatoes even for a short amount which takes away from what could be amazing flavor of the bit of rosemary. Croissant was small and flaky not so much buttery. As a person who has traveled Europe many times just wish the cute ambiance translated to the table and service.

Since the closure of one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Vancouver, I have been on a search…read morefor a replacement. I read that an Indian supermarket opened near the Vancouver Mall recently and offered home made food in its premises. The kids and I decided to try them out two days ago. The inside is small but clean. The front portion has about 10 tables for dining. It reminded me of any mom and pop Asian grocery/bodega store. The menu has the usual offering. We ordered the Royal lamb curry, goat kosha, the butter chicken thali, an eggplant side dish and their garlic naan. We were helped by a very friendly server/waiter/cashier. The food itself was AMAZING! The lamb and goat were tender, the sauces on all the dishes ordered were on point. The naan was warm, buttery, garlicky goodness. The kids loved the mango lassi drink. On our way out, I picked up some items from the grocery store and some samosas to go. The crust on the samosa was so good, the fillings delicious. I highly recommend this place. Since it's located in a mini mall, there's plenty of parking. Did I mention there's an eye brow threading in the same location? I believe it's also owned by the same people. No worries, it is contained in a separate area away from the food.

Went here the other day and WONT go back. Ordered a Soy late and she used Milk then argued with me about it. The staff is very rude and has no customer service they expect a tip that isn't earned. I think the 2 "girls" should get out of customer service they don't know how to do it or make a good cup of coffee. read more
