Love this place! Go often after I leave the gym. So many healthy options, there's something for…read moreeveryone. I personally love their acai bowl and smoothies. The blue wellness (blue spirulina, pineapple, banana, almond butter, date, coconut cream, hemp heart, and almond milk) is my favorite smoothie, I always get protein added for an after-workout snack. The acai bowl is a must try, it's so fresh and flavorful. They also have coffee, breakfast dishes and salads. The service is always top tier here, I'm always greeted by a friendly face. Deeky who works there is the best, she always takes her time to explain different menu items to me and gives great recommendations. The vibe is always peaceful, you can grab something to go or dine in. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Located in the CBD so be prepared to pay for parking.

Let me explain my 5 star rating. I'm not saying that this restaurant is deserving of a Michelin…read moreaward (although I wouldn't be opposed to it ). My rating is based on this dish the avocado toast and arugula salad and that for the price, which is reasonable... I can't imagine a better version of avocado toast. This does lead me to believe that their attention to detail and their menu probably transfers to their other menu items. The service and ambiance is exceptional as well. Highly recommend

Awesome açaí!! Ever since first trying açaí in Brazil and LOVING it, I searched for it in the US…read morebut have never really liked any of our options. It's typically not the right consistency and taste of true açaí... usually tastes like other fruit juices mixed with a powder that might have some açaí in it. But this is not like that, it tastes a lot more like true Brazilian açaí. I also love the other options they have for a bowl (or smoothie) base and the fruit is all super fresh. Happy to finally find an açaí place to frequent!!

There is a rewards program and once you spend a certain amount, you get $5 off. Service: 5/5; the staff worked well together. They were super sweet. Food: I ordered the velvet voodoo açaí bowl. Its toppings were granola, banana, pineapple, coconut flakes, and honey. It did not give fresh. It gave pre made and frozen beforehand. The pineapple was like the ones in the Dole fruit cups. We also ordered the turkey club sandwich. It was enough for 2 people. It was ok. Maybe I ordered the wrong things? The service was great so I may give them another try...

My sister moved to Louisiana two years ago and has always said it's been hard to find truly great food, so we were excited to give this place a try--and it exceeded every expectation. The woman who took our order was one of the sweetest people we've met. She was so welcoming, patient, and made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even better. The tostones were perfection--served hot and crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. The breakfast arepa was outstanding and paired perfectly with the fresh cilantro dipping sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was made with care. The restaurant itself was spotless, bright, and inviting, creating such a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Great food, amazing service, and a clean environment are the perfect combination. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable breakfast. It was hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!
