    I'm not entirely sure how it's possible for businesses to appear to pop up overnight, completely built, on University. Yet, here we are again. Drove by last weekend and saw a brand new, painted building next to the Sonic. Sunday we stopped in because my husband wanted to give them a chance. We went through the drive thru and the menu was way larger than we expected! I was expecting maybe a dozen types of smoothies and possibly a few snacks, but the menu is very large. We asked for a to go menu at the window so we could look at it without the rush of a car waiting behind us. I was full, so I didn't want to order anything. My husband was in a grape mood, but didn't see anything with grape, so we went with the Blueberry Bliss which is blueberry, strawberry and banana. There appears to be only one size of smoothie, it was $5.69 for that particular drink, $6.17 with tax. Not going to lie, as soon as I saw that price I figured we were going to get screwed over with a tiny smoothie. However, while waiting for our smoothie at the window I saw smoothies being delivered to tables and they all looked to be about 24 oz. The lady at the drive thru was very polite and despite how busy they appeared inside, I don't think the wait was more than 5 or 6 minutes. With our receipt we were given a coupon, good until 8/1/22, that offers a 24 oz smoothie for $1.99 with purchase of a food item. They also have an app for reward points and you can get a free smoothie after your first purchase if you download it. While I have always thought $5-6 for a smoothie was too much, and inflation isn't going to change my mind on that, I have to admit it turned out to be a better deal than we originally thought. First, it was clear they were using real fruit and not a lot of extra sugar, which resulted in a delicious, light and refreshing drink on a hot day. Second, we ended up splitting the smoothie and only got through half of it right away. Later, I saw that it still had the smoothie consistency and wasn't melted or warm. You could potentially nurse this thing for hours. That does offer a draw for me. One of the main reasons I don't do smoothies too often is I usually can't finish them before they get all watery and I try to avoid wasting food if I can help it. I did see that they had kid size options that are 12 oz, more my speed, especially if I get it with food. But they only had 3 options that size, so maybe not the best selection for someone with my typical grazing habits. I went back and looked at the menu later. The smoothies are separated by veggie, fruit blends, tropical and balanced fusions (acai, oats, peanut butter, chia, etc). There were about 20 options. They do offer supplements and add-in's, but I didn't actually notice that when we went through the first time and would only do that if I was substituting an entire meal with a smoothie. They offer flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches, salads and quesadillas. There are a few options for each and the flavor combinations seemed varied and some were quite interesting. It appears to mostly be chicken, a couple turkey options, a plant based substitute and vegetarian options. Items are listed by calories and if they are gluten free, vegetarian or plant based. That alone makes me think they will do very well in Denton. I'm not any of those things, but it's important to know what you're getting, especially if you have allergies. The kids menu and breakfast were all $5 or less, the lunch items seemed to be $6-8. The sides were under $2. After our experience with their smoothie, this seems like a good deal. However, until I try their food I honestly have no idea if their portions are worth it. I will have to update once I have tried more items. This was my first visit to any location, so I am not sure how they compare to others in the chain, but it was a pretty good first impression and I like having these offerings in this convenient location.

    Tiny yet expensive Thai Chicken Salad... I'd pass on it.

    Ordered delivery through Uber eats and was tremendously disappointed in my $9.09 plus tax Thai Chicken Salad. It's about the size of a side salad, had maybe a half chicken breast, and my extra dressing was left off. The smoothies seem good, and my family seemed to like their Flatbread, but I'll never order food there again.

    Super good reasonably priced and usually not a long wait. I've come here pretty often and never had a bad experience or an incorrect order.

The coffee is consistently great, the staff is kind and welcoming, and the whole place has this relaxed charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. It's a small, cozy bistro, so it's always best to reserve ahead of time, especially on weekends. Totally worth planning for. Every visit feels like a treat. Highly recommend.

    This place is a little jewel. I've stopped here several times for lunch with my son. And my son is…read morethe one who actually told me about this place. He had come here several times with a couple of his friends from college and said I needed to give it a try. I ordered biscuits and gravy and it's not like your typical biscuits and gravy. It just has way more flavor than you would expect. I sampled a few other various items off the menu and everything was outstanding. The staff is very nice and courteous and it's just a cozy little place to go and get some food. It's also very clean inside and it's one of these businesses that if you're not paying attention, you'll just drive right past. It's kind of hidden out of the way, but it is definitely worth going. It's not a huge restaurant and I didn't have any trouble finding parking. It also wasn't very busy at the time that we went so I would imagine it will get busy with the breakfast or lunch rush but both times that I've been it's been really nice. Highly highly highly recommend visiting this at least once and trying it

    Came here for a lunch with coworkers. The place was so cute and had a bunch of little Denton Easter…read moreeggs all around, on the walls, in pictures, etc. We all ordered a range of things. I am gluten free and they had a binder with a special gluten free menu inside that I ordered off of. I got the Migas (minus the hash browns and tortilla chip strips because there isn't a dedicated frier) they were so good and the staff was kind of enough to replace my hash browns with a side of fresh fruit so it was still a filling meal. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a tasty lunch/breakfast.

    I've been coming here for years. It's the best breakfast spot around, by far…read more Food: delicious. Lot of options. There are corn cakes, for those eating gluten free, if you're still wanting pancakes. They're decent. The cinnamon rolls are huge, & not a typical cinnamon roll, as they're made from scratch. Covered in icing! Biscuits are layered, & delicious. French toast is really good, but it's also the same dough used for biscuits, so it isn't like your normal slice of bread French toast. The coffee is from "Avoca," a local roaster in Fort Worth. Sooooo good. Lot of options for the fancy coffee drinkers, at the coffee bar BTW Prices: about $10-20 a plate. Pancakes are pretty big, so you will be full. Everything is reasonable for portion size, compared to price Environment- hipster. Open, can be loud if music is loud, making everyone else talk louder Service- you walk up to the register & order. Menu is on wall, as well as some handheld menus if waiting in line. So you don't have anyone coming to your table, everything is self serve, which is great I used to come here weekly, every Friday morning lol it's well worth stopping in and trying. Only issue I've ever had with it is parking, if it's during a crowded time lol
