The worker said "so sorry for the wait! i'll bring your order to you." However, in my mind the wait was not long at all! This really shows how much they value customer service.

The match soft serve ice cream was good with a nice matcha flavor and big portion size. We were not fans of the Gigi's taro and the everything matcha slush. Both drinks had way too much going on. I wish they had a menu on the wall and listed what comes in their drinks so many of them had a bunch of inclusions. The drinks weren't disgusting, just not what we're used to. It's more like halo halo vs boba tea. Tip: I saw another persons order and asked if I could order that but the staff told me it was a customized drink and they require you to order custom drinks 15-20 min in advance. It looked good though! Next time, we'll try this option and see how it goes.

Extra 99 cents to make it a large. Pros: - very easy parking lot - DELICIOUS acai with excellent fruit to granola to acai ratio - I love that you don't run out of granola or fruit at the end and they put granola at the bottom too - The fruit tasted super fresh - Acai blended really well, no iciness - Pretty fast service, I think our four bowls were ready within 5mins - pretty good quantity even for the small - I was full afterwards and it was the perfect size breakfast. - Has a little sitting area in the back with some tables, and a counter. - cute decor in the back, fast casual setting. - SO refreshing in hot weather 10/10 acai and better than anything I can find in the East Bay
