    Redbull smoothie
    Tuioleloto Rosary F.

    I live in Anchorage and the drive to this place was a good 40 minutes almost an hour if you count traffic. I have recently seen a post about this place and I was fascinated by all the colors in the smoothie. Little did I know this smoothie had Red Bull in it and I must say Red Bull never tasted so good. The staff was very inviting and they tell you that they have and could make any flavor you could possibly imagine. By now I've tried to think up a flavor that they couldn't make but I failed. It was so good I went a second time. The second time I went I tried their fitbox! I chose the steak fit box and I felt they needed to work on their seasoning. I loved the seasoning on the steak but felt otherwise when I had the yam and it was a little on the salty side. All in all the smoothie was worth the drive for anyone who is into drinks with colors- the real unicorn smoothie is right here!! Look no further.

    Beautiful rainbow smoothie.

    They have food! I wish more coffee shacks had a food menu but this place is amazing. I usually always get a rainbow smoothie. My choices are typically cherry, grape, lemon, and desert pear. Don't stop there though. Please don't be a creature of habit like I am and check out their menu. They can probably make any type of caffinated drink you desire. Worth stopping by when you're in the area. Friendly customer service and please bring this chain to Anchorage!

    I got my sugar intake for the week.

    I love their 4 locations! I'm particular to the one closest to me! They roast their own coffee and it's always fresh :)

    I'm not exactly sure what it was that I was expecting from Karma Café…read more A cafe with fresh food? Lots of veggies? Unique and fun cafe environment? (Which seems to be missing from the valley) It's pieces of those things, but not really a "cafe" of sorts. - - Basically, think of a meal prep place. They're making meals that you can warm up in 90 seconds. Meal plans - if you're not into cooking and/or prepping your own meals, you can sign up for plans that allow you to pick up a certain number of meals throughout the week. The types of meals change every week Additionally, they are also a coffee shop using a roaster called Tony's Coffee. Whole beans for sale, too. Getting in and out of the parking lot is a little awkward. If you're coming from Palmer on your way to Wasilla, it's perfect. But if you need to head back to Palmer after leaving, it's a little tricky. When my schedule gets busy and I don't have time to cook, I will definitely be back.

    Karma cafe is newest cafe in Wasilla that I know of personally. They only opened a couple months…read moreago! Super nice atmosphere with cute furnishings. When I went Jennifer took my coffee order and it was delicious! Karma cafe has prepped meals for sale as well as meal plans for each month. They have labels on every meal with the macros. The meals change pretty much weekly from what I've seen and they keep their facebook page updated. Great for gym goers or people who need some good healthy food in a pinch! Definitely going back.

    First time visiting this cozy specialty bubble tea shop ! Very near the intersection of Main Street…read moreand KGB. Friendly service and I got a crème brûlée boba tea , regular sweetness and then a tiramisu to go. Husband later devoted the delicious treat, I drank my yummy tea on way home. The boba was the softest I've had (although I haven't been drinking bubble tea long at all) and when I got near the bottom the crème brûlée taste was super on point! Must have been resting in the top layer, and I had a bit of a hard time stirring because driving. I am definitely going to return here to try more of their beverages!!

The menu has a variety of options labeled as Taiwanese style, Japanese style, Thai style, Seoul style iced coffees & fruit tea fusions. The tea is brewed in house, and the Taiwanese & Thai style drinks you are able to customize the sweetness level. I love a spot where you can customize your drink. I also appreciate how the menu is divided by different styles. I ordered a 24oz creme brûlée brown sugar milk tea, and a 16oz kiwi jasmine green tea. I ordered them with a standard level of sweetness. If you like your drinks on the sweeter side you will definitely want to customize the teas to a higher sweetness level. The tea was really good & strong. The boba was fresh, and perfectly chewy. Service was quick, friendly & attentive. The spot does have a few tables if you want to sit & enjoy your drinks. It's clean & very open with wood accents. I can't wait to try more of their menu. The Seoul style coffee drinks were also calling my name! If you want a traditional boba spot in the valley you need to check out Hana's House!
