Also, the menu price does not match the current price. It says a small is $3.75 but I was charged $4.75, (tbh the size is definitely only worth $4) and when I asked about why the price was more expensive than on the menu they said it's always been that way and seemed a bit defensive. They must not know they can get into trouble for false advertising that stuff! If it's always been a different price then get the menu updated so customers don't feel scammed! I know it's a very small price but nobody likes to pay more than they initially expected. Other than that the staff is pretty chill and drinks come out in a timely manner.

On their menu, they have energy drinks (can also be caffeine free), coffee, smoothies, and snacks. Today I tried the "blitzen bliss" (strawberry, raspberry, cheesecake) and it was very good! There are so many flavor combinations to try. The girls working were so sweet. You pay and order at the same window here which is convenient. Tip: there are 2 lines that come in from opposite sides so keep that in mind to move through faster. I also like how it's along the High Trestle Trail so you could ride/walk up and order at the window and sit outside. Looking forward to my next visit!

The ordering concept is unique: You receive an aloe shot, order your energy tea, and protein shake. They go all together. You may order each separately at individual costs. My husband and I spent $22 for 4 drinks. The idea of the multiple drinks is that you take the aloe shot as a digestive helper, drink the shake as your meal, and then sip on the tea to gain energy. Good products and they have a cult following. Customer service is nice. Owner, Shayna, is usually there and has been very helpful with our questions about drinks. During COVID19 pandemic: No masks are required for employees or patrons. Most patrons are not masked. Social distancing is minimal. Shop is small and can seat maybe up to 12 people. Shop has been packed every time we come in. There has not been cleaning in between customers except for drink making area and blenders. Shop is overall clean. The shakes are advertised as dairy and egg free. They blend the shakes with water and ice. Tea is powder mixed in water. I asked about ingredients and was told there MAY be traces of milk but it is overall not mixed with milk or made OF milk. I asked for brand and looked at the labels. The shakes have an ingredient with COW MILK! There is casinate in it: a cow milk derivative. So it is NOT VEGAN!!. Overall it is an interesting smoothie/meal replacement product and business. Four stars for tasty product and service. Lost the star for lack of knowledge of product to better serve customers with food allergy and food intolerances.

Onyx is one of the best roasters in the country and it's a real commitment for a shop to build around them. The iced drinks come sealed in clear cans, machine-lidded at the bar. It's a genuinely different presentation, it doesn't sweat through, and it holds up if you're walking around with it. I had the cold brew and the matcha -- both clean and not over-sweetened. The space is sharp: marble counter, black cabinetry, warm wood, good light in the morning. Staff were friendly and happy to talk through the menu without being precious about it. Menu runs deep -- signature lattes, four matcha options, their oat milk cold brew latte by the bottle. Easy recommend.

The barista quickly recognized me and remembered my name after my first visit. And the coffee blew my mind. Over our visits we had an espresso, a drip, a Spanish latte, a New Orleans, a Cheerio and the specialty mocha. Loved them all. The space is gorgeous. Bright, clean with lots of big windows for natural light. Minimalist-the coffee speaks for itself.

If I were to go here again, I would probably try a different menu item. The waffle was good, but nothing special. As for the smoothie, it was good. It was pretty strong on the coconut, but good. I believe they serve a hailey Bieber smoothie dupe, if I were to know that beforehand I would have got that. The place is decorated well and is cute. I'm rating it the way it is based on my opinion of other favorites in the area as this is more pricey than most breakfast places in the area.

In terms of food, this place has been a bit of a hit or miss for me. The first time we stopped by, we had smoothies, and they were delicious, creamy, and not too artificially sweet, yummy but still felt healthy at the same time. The second time, we tried their coffee and waffles. The latte was good, and I liked their seasonal flavor options. Unfortunately, the gingerbread waffle we tried was practically inedible, wayyyy too spiced, to the point it tasted medicinal. The pomegranate seeds on top, which looked pretty at first, were actually soft and mushy, clearly not fresh. That said, I'm still willing to come back for another smoothie, because those were really good.
