This is a cute casual place that's like a cafe style or reminds me of like Sweet Frog vibes with a toppings bar in front by the cashier. The bowls! I love how they serve the "for here" in a glass cup. As for the flavor, mhm, the açaí flavor was just a bit off, I'm not sure how to explain it...but had a strange taste when eating it...wasn't really a fan of the flavor profile. The fruit was mostly good, but also was a little off. I don't like how small the strawberries were diced up to be. I'd say 2/5, unfortunately the flavors weren't there

We discovered this place from Instagram promoting their new line of Dirty sodas so my wife wanted…read moreto check them out. We were greeted and pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff and the wide selection of options. This is a smoothie place BUT also so much more than that! They offer things like fresh smoothies, fresh lemonades in a bunch of awesome flavors, smoothie bowls, and even crepes. The place itself is really nice and positive inside. They have positivity in everything from the colors they use in their decor and even their counter has saying posted to brighten your day all over it. I was curious about this so we asked more about this place and were both surprised and delighted by the answers we got from staff. This place started as a food truck five years ago that turned into a physical location about three years ago that is one of one. What makes it such a wonderful place is they work with special needs individuals and they also have them intern at this place. That's such a wonderful thing as someone who mentors someone with special needs and has a wife that works with individuals with autism that means a lot to us. My wife is pregnant with our son and we can't wait to bring him here :) we also can't wait to return to try other options. We even thought about the having the person I mentor intern here for some life experience/fun environments. They have 9 different dirty sodas and they come in 24oz (we'd love smaller size options and flights options if possible! We wanted to try all the flavors) They also have games for you to play while they make your items. I love that they asked for and value feedback and are stoaked with giving recommendations which I asked for and genuinely care about what you think and wanted to make sure you are happy with your items. This was a 10 outta 10 experience for us. Well done guys! - SupaFlyITGuy approved! We loved our choices of purple haze and Dr. Mash and my Joplin smoothie

The atmosphere is also really nice and enjoyable. However, my last visit was a bit disappointing. A lady who served us had a very rude attitude and seemed like she wanted us to leave quickly. Our order was a bit confusing since we had several bowls and some were half-and-half, but I still felt she could have been more patient. I'm Hispanic, and I honestly felt she treated us differently because of that. She also started helping another customer who arrived after us while still taking our order, which felt unprofessional. This has never happened to me before, which is why I still give 4 stars. Other than that experience, everything has always been great. I'd also love if they brought back last year's summer special passion fruit bowl--it was amazing and a lot of people seemed to love it.

I came from the backside of the shopping center, so did not see it and had to ask staff at the supermarket if they knew where the tea shop was.

I'm so happy to see that this is in the shopping center right next to my parent's house so I can frequent it more often. Yay! As such, I will likely join their rewards program.
