What I liked about the berry boost bowl is that goji berries brought a crunch and really made up for the granola that wasn't in there.

No outdoor seating available. We went in knowing we wanted açaí bowls. They offer signature bowls for those who don't like having to decide on bases, toppings, drizzles, etc. Signature bowls come in two sizes: regular (16oz.) $13.99 and large (24 oz.) $15.99. Whatever bowls give you the freedom to decide on base - bonus base - fresh fruit - super foods - drizzle. These are priced the same but you decide what you do and do not want, which is nice. Mind you, they also offer: toasts, smoothies and drinks such as lemonade, iced blended coffee, matcha, and cold brews. Açaí bowl was a generous portion of base / bonus base / fruit. I appreciate how they chop their fruit into bite size pieces. Idk what it is but I like my fruit in my bowl to be bite size like small easy to eat and chew. Maybe it has to do with base/topping/fruit ratios!? Fruit was fresh too, which for this price point- I'd expect and they delivered. There are many options available which again, for this price point you'd expect, so it's nice to have. The only problem was they were out of Nutella. Like, why? My daughter went a week before writing this review and she said they were out of bananas. In my opinion, banana and Nutella are not items hard to keep in stock! We would visit again. Side note, Monday - Friday 6-7pm they offer $2 off signature bowls!

SWITCH UP THE BDAY CAKE TO A BDAY TRAY!…read more I have been supporting HI Cravings since they were JessDaBest Acai Bowls and it is so cool to see the empire they have become. My daughter is a huge fan of their bowls, so for her 2nd birthday I decided to opt for an acai tray (my first time ordering). The day before my scheduled pick-up date, I was hospitalized switching up lots of the plans we had for my daughter's birthday. I had emailed that night and asked if they were able to write a personalized note from me on a post-it or foil for my daughter to read when it was pick-up on her birthday as I wouldn't be there. They went beyond to decorate and write an actual birthday card for my daughter, which meant the world to me. As for the acai tray... an absolute hit! It was picked up on Monday morning and stored in the freezer until Wednesday night when I returned home. We left it out about 30 min before eating and it was still fresh. It has lasted us multiple desserts and breakfasts. Thank you so much to Brandi for making everything work despite being on vacation and the HI Cravings team for your hard work. Will definitely be ordering again.

I've tried their mobile van twice to see if it was a one time thing but sure enough, it has changed to me. Their base used to be very creamy and soft but now, it tastes very icy and less flavorful. Fruits are still very fresh, and their topping selections are top tier! Service is undoubtedly still amazing. Wait times are a bit long but no problem with that as there is usually only one or two people working.

Locals and non-locals seem to agree that Island Vintage Coffee's beverages are like imbibing a bit of the ocean view - perfect, warm, a little on the sweet side of life.

We grabbed a burger from a neighboring tuck and decided to walk over to grab some treats for the kiddos. I picked up the smelt ($6) and my friend got the ahi cubes ($14) and a bag of smelt too. The packaging is really cute and its like they get to enjoy the experience too. Eventually they plan on expanding their menu but for now they have ahi and smelt. They also serve up poke bowls and acai bowls for the humans. LOL. We found a nice shady spot in the park and made a little picnic with the kids. Parking is along the park and should be available for the most part - most people come and go.

Guarantee it's a flawless strategy that guarantees you will not need to look at food again until dinner time. ​ I panicked a little when management changed earlier this year but the transition was seamless. They added new goodies but kept the classics exactly the same. ​ Everyone here is fantastic, but Krystal is the undisputed MVP. She keeps the coffee flowing and manages to navigate our table even when we are deep in a pancake-induced trance. Go here immediately, just plan to nap right after.

At around almost 40 minutes after, my boyfriend received a text message saying he was no longer on the wait list. So he decided to walk up to the hostess and ask if our table was ready. Hostess said, I'm sorry I don't have you on our wait list. She asked if it was 2 adults and one child, and he said no as it was under the same name. She just said, it might have been someone on the inside that took us out of the wait list. She said sorry and my boyfriend said nevermind, we'll just go somewhere else. I asked if we could go back on the wait list, but she said yes, but you'd have to wait again and thought it wasn't worth it. She said Happy Father's Day to us. I said Thank you.

We ordered the açaí bowl, (small $12.50 and large $14.50) and also ordered popsicles (10 for $15). Already the price of this was way cheaper than W&B. Liked it! I apologize for the lack of photos of our açaí bowls, but I have a bad habit of digging in right away then realizing that I forgot to take photos when it's half gone. I'll attach photos when I go back...because I most definitely will be back! I think I still prefer the taste W&B açaí, but the açaí here is really good and satisfies the craving! The popsicles on the other hand, were just ok. It was described as large otter pops and while I wouldn't go THAT far, I don't think I'll get those again. Didn't try the juice yet, but the price is pretty high so not sure if I'll get around to it. Especially since the açaí is soooo good!!! I'll probably always get that instead!

I wish I could give this place a 3.5 overall, but the service deserves 0 stars…read more From the moment we walked in, there was zero acknowledgment from the employee. She was watching Tinker Bell on the TV and didn't greet us or even look up - no hello, no smile, just awkward silence. We were the only ones in the store and still had to awkwardly approach the counter just to get help. As first-time customers, there was also no explanation of the scoop sizes or pricing, which made ordering more confusing than it needed to be. When we finally ordered, two items were made correctly, but one person in our group ordered dragonfruit gelato. The employee started scooping strawberry instead, and even after we politely pointed it out, there was no acknowledgment or apology--just silence. It made for a really uncomfortable interaction. While we were eating, the employee went into the back, and we could hear her loudly scrolling on social media with the volume on full blast, even laughing at times. Toward the end of our visit, she came back to the front, sat down, and continued on her phone. The entire atmosphere felt so awkward that we decided to leave and finish our gelato in our cars. Even as we walked out, there was no thank you, no goodbye--no acknowledgment at all. It was honestly disappointing. That said, the gelato itself is actually really good, and the interior of the shop is nice. That's the only reason I'd consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service really brought the experience down. Proper customer service training is definitely needed. I would come back for sure, but I wouldn't return if that same employee was behind the counter.
