    I've been remiss in failing to update my Kuumba review. It's now become a staple in my life and the lives of the Riverwest and Harambee communities. The exterior space is open and very nice and the interior has added some decorative pieces. The menu changes here and there as the owners experiment with new drinks and dishes. Everything I've tried has been solid. My BF goes every weekend and spends peaceful mornings with coffee there, writing or drawing, and I'm the very lucky recipient of to-go orders on his return. Their chocolate orange vegan muffins are still standouts. What really makes Kuumba stand out is their commitment to the neighborhood(s) and the people and organizations within. They frequently host events at their space, for small groups and some larger organizations. They also host events of their own creation. They show up at community markets and fairs. Alex, in particular, is a treasure. They really stand out in the way they stand up for Haramabee and Riverwest and how kind everyone is. You can see the neighborhood kids that drop in there feel seen and respected, as do all the other customers of all ages. Kuumba does mean creativity and perhaps the reason it's such a great place to sit down and create is that it's such a welcoming, safe place to grab a cup and a bite and some time to think. Do check them out. We all need to get behind that vibe.

    Delightful place with great coffee and community-minded environment! The coffee special today was spectacular as was the soup fundraiser special. Thor outside area is ample and the whole place exudes warmth, care, and creativity. A hop away from the MCTS 15 route!

    Large, clean and friendly indoor space ‍

    I'm going to have to say I am beyond delighted that I needed an oil change and tire rotation and headed right next door to this gem. Ambiance, customer service, locally owned, beautiful outdoor spaces, and great coffee. I'm giving it a 6!

    They have some food options and known for their smoothies and coffee options. I think it's a great place to hang out and do some work at a local new coffee shop! Totally would go there again!

    Cute place with very friendly service! Had a smoothie, breakfast sandwich (with jam!), and a cold brew. All were delicious! Really want to try the peanut stew sometime too.

    I am so happy we came across Planet Smoothie for my smoothie fix! I was in the area and was craving…read morea beverage, but it was too late in the afternoon for a coffee, so a smoothie sounded perfect. We wandered into Planet Smoothie's quaint shop and were greeted by the kindest staff. Right away, we were offered samples of a smoothie that was just made, which happened to be the carribean citrus splash. This was so yummy and refreshing! It's made up of coconut water, strawberries, orange juice, mango, and lemon. It's on their 'planet lite' menu, meaning its under 300 calories. I was tempted to get this one because it was so good, but I wanted a drink that would be a little more filling. I decided on the Mr. Mongo -- strawberries, bananas, frozen yogurt, milk, vanilla, and whey protein. With 17 grams of protein, it was the perfect filling drink to hold me over until dinner and give me a nice boost of energy. The drink itself was so creamy and perfectly sweet. The small is the perfect size too! I didn't make any substitutes, but the team was more than willing to make any swaps requested. The smoothies are great, but the pleasant and friendly staff made the experience even better.

    Five-stars for the sweetest service! It never goes unnoticed when employees are genuinely kind and…read morefriendly. Oh and the smoothies? Those we're great too! My friend and I were craving smoothies so we took to the Yelp app to find what was near by. Happy to have discovered this little gem! As soon as we walked in we were kindly greeted and offered samples. The Caribbean citrus splash was dang good - so fruity, coconuty, and refreshing. Honestly there were just so many options I was having the hardest time deciding what I wanted! In the end I went for the Java The Nut, which is a blend of coffee, cocoa, peanut butter, bananas, frozen yogurt, nonfat milk. However the non-dairy gal over here had them use alternatives for that, which they were more than willing to do for me. I also had the protein add-on put in. This smoothie was so creamy and tasty! Plus bonus point for the caffeine energy boost. Though I enjoy sweet and fruity drink at times, this coffee-banana combo really hit the spot. Oh and a size small is big! Was definitely plenty to keep me full the rest of the day.
