Strawberry lemonade with mango jelly The drinks were fine - thank goodness they give you the option for level of sweetness. How can anybody go with 100%??? We all got 50% and the slushy and lemonade were sweeter than we cared for. The most unfortunate part was giving my order to somebody that apparently hates their job and didn't know anything about their drinks. I asked about the Kung fu Honey tea and the Winter Melon tea - they just shook their head and said they've never tried them. And, somehow, their energy made ME feel stupid for asking! How the heck did that happen??? Anyway, the drinks were made swiftly, and weren't terrible. I'm just going to assume that this would have been a 4 star review with a different server.

Interior is modern industrial with exposed raw woods, concrete floors and ceilings with heavily industrial seating and fixtures offset with modern colors and even a neon sign. It's a larger space than you initially think. There is a small seating space up front, a long window counter near the counter, another space in the back and then an upstairs area. So even when busy, you should be able to find a spot. I popped in for a coffee, cold brew with almond milk to be exact, and they delivered. $6-ish after tip for a medium tap cold brew plus milk of choice. Not bad. The coffee itself was decent. Nothing special, but nothing terrible. From counter to pickup bottlenecks pretty easily as the ordering line, people already sitting, pickup orders and folks waiting on their newly placed order all converge in the same space. Gets pretty hectic fairly quickly. Service was solid. Barista who took my order was friendly and helpful. My name wasn't called when my order was ready, but I was luckily watching the counter before I went and sat. Overall, cool space in a great location with a chill vibe and decent coffee.

I ordered an iced jasmine tea and was really excited to try it, but unfortunately it was way too sweet for me. I was expecting plain jasmine tea with no sugar or syrup, and I really don't enjoy sweet drinks, so I couldn't drink it (sadly), I wish they had asked whether I wanted it sweetened or unsweetened when I ordered.
