There were different types of tables/seating to choose from and everyone seemed to be smiling and in a good mood. They were playing a mix of R&B that included T-Pain, Snoh Allegra, Musiq Soulchild, and Bruno Mars to name a few. They had beautiful paintings of various influential figures in Black art and culture on the walls, and upcoming events shown on a screen behind the bar which I especially appreciated (They have karaoke on Thursdays!) There was also a band set up in the front, and I instantly made a mental note to return for the live music. - I ordered the iced "LCD" latte to drink and the Avocado Smash for a quick bite. I really enjoyed the LCD. I'd consider it to be more lavender forward but I love floral/herby flavored coffee drinks so I was absolutely okay with that. My avocado toast was pretty good and reasonably priced at $12 - There is an easy, laid back vibe so I don't recommend visiting when in a rush. Mix and Mingle is absolutely a place where you want to stay awhile, and I look forward to visiting again

And love the Saturday Business Day!!!! - very cool for small black owned businesses to share their product and services. I've been here a few times now and really do enjoy it . I will say I recently didn't have the best experience with a take out order , who was taking orders as well as making coffee drinks--- took about an hour which is normally not the case. I also was waiting on the latte for a long while and no acknowledgment from her that she forgot when I attempted to inquire what was going on; since others who came in after me were getting drinks. Maybe some customer service training would help to at least address the customers when an inquiry was made about where is the drink. Would have been nice for her to acknowledge something !! I ended up getting a refund from another person up front. All in all I love the place and will come back for sure.

I popped in for a smoothie and during this visit, I remembered that if you're using the app, you can buy food and get your smoothie free. You can't combine promotions and if you have appropriate ID, you can apply your military discount. The interior of the store was very clean and the young adults working there were very welcoming and fully engaged in the customer experience. The young man preparing my smoothie was so polite and the cashier was equally professional. No one on their phones or having inappropriate conversations. It was a positive experience all the way around. I would recommend this location and want to say thank you to all the employees that were doing their thing and setting the example to encourage customers to trust them and return.

They have a unique approach to desserts. Crystal can custom make a dessert for you while you wait. You start with a base (donut, cake shell, pie crust, or rice crispy treat). You add icing, pudding, toppings, or fruit to the base. The more you add, the more it costs. They can cater for events. After 3 visits, we tried 6 items. 1) Custom dessert    Miniature cinnamon rolls, cream cheese icing, chocolate pudding, strawberries, and bananas. The cinnamon rolls are not listed as a base, but Crystal suggested using it. They were soft, moist, and slightly sweet with just enough cinnamon flavor. Overall, the flavors were well-balanced and mild. It was good. Some experimenting is needed to get an ideal dessert. The choices are numerous. Sweetness can be adjusted in some components. I can appreciate that! 2) Banana muffin with toppings of vanilla icing, crushed vanilla wafer, and a vanilla wafer. The muffin was soft, moist, and slightly sweet with a good banana flavor. The icing had a light vanilla flavor with a modest sweetness. The wafers were typical. I'm not a fan of a lot of icing, but this vanilla icing was very good. This was one of the best tasting in this group! 3) Banana pudding pie    It had an individual-sized pie crust filled with banana custard. The custard had a prominent banana flavor with the right amount of sweetness. It was smooth with a nice richness and thickness. This was simple, but very good! 4 & 5) Blueberry muffin and Chocolate muffin. They were both soft, moist, and slightly sweet. The flavors were mild. There were chocolate chips in one and real blueberries in the other. The blueberries were slightly sweet, which is a nice detail that some bakers don't do. Everything was good tasting. 6) Rice Crispy treats    There were 4 treats in a pack. They had different flavors. One was mango flavored with powdered sugar on top. That one was the best and most interesting in taste. The other 3 used regular rice crispies with marshmallows. One had chocolate syrup soaked into it. It was okay and rather simple. One had strawberry icing with candy hearts. It was sweet because of the hearts. The rest of the flavors were mild. One had strawberry icing drizzled on it. Simple and okay tasting. The service was friendly, informative, and helpful. Crystal is one of the nicest people I have met. She tries to tailor desserts to your liking. She'll listen to suggestions. The dining areas and restrooms were very clean. They are located in The Spot Food Hall at Restaurant Row Apollo shopping center which is near the Branch Avenue Metro subway on the Green line. Parking is plentiful and free. This is a local small business that appreciates your support! Give them a visit when you're in the area.

I had a few questions about the different bobas, pearls, and jellies, and the staff actually took the time to explain everything and answer my questions. That was a much different experience from other boba places I recently visited. I ended up ordering a type of boba that wasn't really my personal preference, and the drink was a little sweeter than I like, but that's completely on me and part of learning what I like. I'd definitely come back and refine my order now that I know more about the options. Overall, I'd recommend this place, especially for people who already enjoy boba or want to explore different drink combinations. The customer service was welcoming, which made the experience even better.

She's got you. That personal touch makes all the difference. And let's talk about the drinks... they're better than those folks with the siren logo (you know who I mean ) -- hands down -- and CHEAPER. Quality, flavor, and price? It's giving win-win-win. I'm already excited for when she rolls out her danishes, muffins, and eventually breakfast sandwiches because if they're anything like her drinks, we're in trouble (the good kind).
