I tried the Green Fire, which was really yummy. Also had a cappuccino. This has become one of my favorite spots when I'm in Oceanside. I just love the art, the chillness, the banana-theme, the community flavor. This time I saw they had some free stickers and a sheet with recommendations for other businesses to check out in Oceanside. Super cool. See you next time BD!

I love their Banana Iced Shaken Espresso! It's a different combination that I would never think to…read morehave, but the banana pairs perfectly with the espresso. The baristas are friendly here and prepare your drinks with much TLC. It has seating on the inside. There is art on the walls along with an area of merchandise that can be purchased. Tote bags, tee shirts etc. When I want something different from an ordinary latte, I come here. Also, you can order this drink half-sweet if that suits you. The only downside is that parking is sometimes difficult. However, with that being said, if you've never tried the banana- espresso combination, this is the place to do it!

The peanut butter banana was great, it did not disappoint and as someone who doesn't even like peanut butter I was able to enjoy this. The tropical one however tasted off, the fruit tasted like it might have been freezer burnt and it was a bit too many flavors for me. The service was pretty decent, the lady who helped me was friendly and recommended a ton of smoothies which honestly made it harder to choose. My only complaint is that I felt a bit rushed upon ordering, it felt like she expected me to know right away what I wanted to order instead of letting me check out the menu a bit first. The ambiance was chill, laid back kinda surfer vibe, no one was in the shop but the setup was nice no complaints.

The cheese bread was actually really good and a nice side. Ordering was easy through the kiosk, and the place itself is a small shop with just a couple indoor tables plus some outdoor seating. Parking is street only. Overall, not bad, but value could be better.

The staff at the…read morecash register were chit-chatting for literally 5 minutes in front of me about life while I kept trying to politely interupt them to ask a quick question, and they made eye contact with me then literally turned their backs to me to KEEP TALKING. It was crazy. I found the bathroom on my own and when i came back, they were STILL TALKING, MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME AGAIN AND KEPT IGNORING ME WHILE I WAS STANDING THERE WITH PRODUCTS IN MY HAND TO BUY. I finally decided to put my stuff back on the shelf and leave with no purchases. That was so shocking to me. I understand if you want to talk about things, but do it on your breaks or pause the conversation when guests walk up. I feel i was very patient and understand until it was too much. Very odd experience.
