Definitely a great local coffee shop. Worth it for one of their specialty lattes or smoothies!read more

Local coffee shop that's been around for a while, but they've really refreshed and revamped the…read morespace over the past couple of years. The atmosphere is super cute and cozy, making it a great spot to meet up with friends for coffee or settle in with a laptop and get some work done. They offer a wide variety of drink options including creative coffee specials, smoothies, and teas. I'm a big fan of the Tiger Shark and the Banana Foster, but I've branched out a few times and have enjoyed several of their other drinks as well. There's always something new to try. Service is quick and efficient, even when there's a line, and the staff are consistently friendly and helpful. If you're standing there debating what to order, they're always happy to make suggestions. It's definitely more of a coffee spot than a full café. They usually have muffins and a few light pastries to go with your drink, but it's not the place you'd go if you're looking for a full meal. For good coffee, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service, though, it's a great local stop.

This place is super vibey, I came here with my teen cousin and she seemed to fit right in with all…read morethe employees. We came back multiple times on our vacation! Wow their coffee is strong! I expected it to be super sweet but it was surprisingly espresso forward, by far the best coffee on the isle. Bowls were quite tasty, if expensive for the size. They had a lot more variety than you'd usually find. I'd recommend trying the coconut base or blue wave base instead of açaí. It was quite busy and they do take a bit of time to get made, so keep that in mind if ordering several. Fun interior with lots of fun places to sit and chill.

The almond butter was the best part -- haven't seen that on my acai bowl before -- I'll definitely be adding that to my acai when I have some at home. The decor in here is really cute, and they have lots of seating which makes the place incredibly inviting. I love this place!

I really do love this place, so I want to preface this by saying this comes from someone who…read moregenuinely wants to see you all thrive. I'm a local music teacher, and I often meet potential clients here instead of Starbucks because I'd much rather support a local business. This morning (7/31/26 around 9:00 AM), I had my two girls with me, ages 3 and 1. I completely understand this coffee shop is geared more toward adults, and I don't expect anyone else to parent my children. With a little supervision, though, they're usually happy to sit in the front area with a pastry and hot chocolate while I meet my client, who today was a no show lol. Today, my hands were obviously full with a baby on my hip, so I was microwaving cinnamon rolls one at a time while making sure my 3-year-old wasn't getting into anything. That's just part of being a mom, and I didn't mind doing it. What stood out was that when I asked if there were any napkins, I was told, "Nope, I think we're out." I assumed someone might grab a paper towel or another option from the back, but after waiting a few minutes while my daughter kept saying, "Mommy, sticky," I realized that wasn't happening. I finally just told her to wipe her hands on my pants because we didn't have anything else. Then I went looking for utensils to make things a little less messy and found only one fork, so my daughter and I shared it. I know these seem like small things, but my family owned a restaurant growing up, so I also know how much the little moments shape whether someone feels cared for. We live in an area with a lot of young families, and even small gestures like having napkins stocked, keeping utensils available, or offering a paper towel when someone is clearly juggling little kids can make people feel genuinely welcomed. I'll absolutely continue coming back because I really enjoy supporting your business and bringing my students there for meetings. I just wanted to share this experience because I thought it was something the owner would want to know. I hope it's received in the spirit it's intended: not as a complaint, but as feedback from someone who truly wants to see this place continue to succeed.

We tried this coffee and smoothie shop today. My caramel frappe lover gives this place two thumbs…read moreup they had just the right amount of caramel. This was even after they gave her whipped cream which she is not a big fan but the caramel Balance made up for it. Then the smoothies, my berry smoothie lover says that they did a decent job. I had quite the experience with my smoothie. I chose the strawberry and chia seed protein shake where I chose peanut butter for the base. OMG. It was the best PBJ I ever had. When I say I was drinking a PBJ it is no joke and it was so good!! Like I am Now feeling like PBJ needs to become a staple of my diet again. Now they only get 4 though because we were also hoping for some yummy bakery treats but what we saw wasn't really exciting so we left it alone. This was probably good as the protein shake is a meal. Saw some cool teas. Need to go back and get some before we leave. We will be back next time we visit.
