Let me start by saying I absolutely adore this place. I found this place on yelp and sent my…read moreboyfriend to pick up smoothies one morning on a whim. The first time got us hooked. The morning ritual is the best smoothie I've ever had. It's hard to balance health and flavor, but this was both healthy and incredible. They list the ingredients used in each smoothie, so you know all of what they contain. You can even add different boosters such as mass muscle, etc. It's located inside of a gym, to the right side of it. Don't be thrown off, you don't need a membership to enjoy the fantastic smoothies. The workers have been really sweet each time we've visited, and when we ordered via Uber it was ready upon arrival. One of the only drawbacks is how expensive it is. I also really wish that they listed their nutrition facts online. For such a health oriented company it's shocking that they don't, and especially a company of decent size. The smoothies contain dates, nuts, etc. So although they are good ingredients they can be high in fats, so it's important to know. Our smoothie also has coffee as well which we enjoy, but knowing the caffeine content would be appreciated. My last order also had huge white frozen balls that were unblended in it which was odd, I'm not quite sure what they were. If the price was lower, we would come here much more often. It is a great way to start your morning, and makes you feel fantastic afterwards.

Staff are lively and friendly. AÇAÍ SUPERFOOD BOWL: Very distinct cinnamon flavor, FYI! Pleasant but just a heads up. Otherwise so fresh & bursting with flavor. Toppings were good quality and ripe. This is a huge portion... I had to freeze half of it for the next day. My family actually sent this to me (knowing that I do Yelp... And love smoothie bowls... smh). A bit out of the way for us being located in a smaller, residential shopping mall. But great for locals!

What's great is that this place opens rather early, 9 am. The smoothie was yummy. It contained pieces of oats (from the added granola) so it was kind of hard to sip through a straw. I think next time I'll tell them to just blend it all together. It's a pretty smoothie to look at and it was made perfectly. I'll have to try a bowl soon. There's plenty of outside seating. Staff is friendly. It's not very big inside. Best to order and then wait outside if it's busy.

Not overly sweet, nice textures from the various toppings, and good variety of the bases so that it's not all açaí. I went back to get a smoothie since one of the main chains wasn't doing it for me, and it was pretty great! I tried the let me love you smoothie with a dragonfruit base and strawberries, banana, avocado, Rho collagen peptide, coconut milk, and coconut beach swirl I added protein to that as well. If these weren't around $15 a pop and if I lived right by this place, I'd be getting their smoothies regularly. It was a really nice treat though. The wait here can be rather long for what you get, so I downloaded their app and ordered through there. Small storefront, kiosks to order, in person order area, pick up area, and you can see them make the bowls/smoothie, but tasty product!

Even the mild salsa is quite spicy which is an issue if you're delicate like me but it's still very delicious. They are very friendly behind the counter. They get your name when you place your order and call it out when your order is ready. Most people get their tacos to go so they wrap it in a bag so it can be easily carried out. There is seating and a restroom inside if you choose to stay in to eat. I usually get the shredded chicken but the chorizo one is good too. Bring cash to pay for your tacos and make sure to tip!

Before we got deep into our drive, we wanted to stop for some coffee, and this spot happened to be open and on our way. We're not super familiar with coffee in the Bay Area, and for most of our trip we hadn't chosen great shops to visit. Panama Bay, however, really surprised us. A lot about this spot felt unassuming to us. It's a small cottage on the corner that stands out from the taller, more modern apartment buildings around it. There's not much space indoors. All of their seating is outdoors, located next to their outdoor pickup window. It's a little more offbeat than your average coffee spot, but it's really charming. The great service was one of the first things I noticed. Our two baristas were very friendly, chatting with us about our trip, and giving menu recommendations. All of this was greatly appreciated, especially since their menu has many options. They had an extensive list of syrup flavors, lattes, pour over coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. I grabbed a banana latte, and breakfast sandwich. The coffee was flavorful, and the sandwich has the best chipotle mayo. My partner tried the Mayan pour over, and he really loved his drink. Everything that we ordered was fantastic, and the friendly baristas really made our visit. This was easily the best coffee spot we visited during our trip I definitely recommend dropping by this spot if you're nearby, and I'll definitely be back in the future if I'm ever back up north.

But if you get decision fatigue, then this place might not be for you. Staff is friendly and moving as quickly as they can. Their iced coffee is also slushy like. I prefer mine with light ice.

Absolutely the best way to cool down! I was thrilled to discover Ice Monster in Walnut Creek! Not only can I get an authentic Taiwanese shaved ice, but they have an incredible variety of ice flavors (strawberry, mango, green tea, etc) and toppings. They also have boba tea (which also originated in Taiwan), milk tea, regular ice cream, freshly cooked Chinese finger foods, and more. The place has tables inside and out and is always immaculate. I also really appreciate that they don't add the problem of landfills overflowing with plastics! They use real dishes and real silverware. I don't know of any other place that conscientious. I have been going here for 8 years. It was started by a couple from Taiwan and the owners the last several years are from China. They keep the place open seven days a week, but even with that grueling work schedule, the customer service is always fantastic. They go out of their way to keep their customers happy. Apparently, I'm not the only one who loves the place, because when school gets out, the place is filled with teenagers and families with children. It's a great place to hang out. I've tried other places in the East Bay, but this is my absolute favorite place for Chinese shaved ice, boba tea, and other yummy foods. I can't recommend them highly enough!

That came out to 6$ at first then I saw on their menu at the register that the cone could be dipped with chocolate, she said it's $1.25 extra, then I noticed peanuts could be added to the chocolate dip, she said another 1.25, total came to 8 ish, I tipped a $1 so I say at a round off I spent 10 next time I'm not getting all the extra for the cone. The size of a small cone is very generous and very reasonable for the 6$ price. Very spacious inside but it is pretty much an order then go. There was a standing table but I suggest know that you will just be getting your treat and heading out.

She must've misheard me when I said, oat milk, cause she started using whole milk after I ordered. I told her I have dairy sensitivities. And she said that is the only milk that she had. But this was after I paid for the drink... i've never had a problem at other locations with no other dairy options. ...there was also barely any Boba and half the drink was red bean. Very disappointed. I must've been fourth in line after a family, and three other customers were served before me. If you have dairy sensitivity, DO NOT come here. I do not recommend it. Probably not coming back here again.
