The staff are fairly average, they greet customers and provide service relatively quickly. The prices are on the higher side, and I can see how a visit for desserts with the whole family could become quite expensive. Another drawback is the limited sizing options. For example, their drinks are only available in a large size, which may not appeal to everyone. I'm also not a fan of dining inside. There's something about the color scheme and overall atmosphere that makes the space feel less inviting and not particularly appealing for eating in.

It's very misleading from the front as it just looks like a little corner shop and you're not sure what's in it. The inside is very simple, not much decor or anything going on, but they offer a wide variety of smoothies, teas, fresh pressed juices, and other drinks including Boba. I got the berry smoothie with protein, and it was absolutely delicious. My friend got the strawberry fruit tea with Boba and it was also freaking delicious! Highly, highly recommend this spot! I heard they also have a second location in Rio Grande so I'm excited to try it out too.

I wish the four season milk tea be more strong on the tea side. The brown sugar drinks was delicious. I was surprised with their prices too, we paid under $12 for 2 of the 16oz drinks with added toppings which is really cheap here in the central coast compare to other places. Will come back to try more drinks. Keep in mind they only have 2 people working so might be a little wait though. Really pleased that now we don't have to drive far away to get boba :) come and support small biz guys

Sure wish we'd know sooner, but so glad to have found it now. This store is like a cross between TJ's and Whole Foods with a huge assortment of prepared foods and fair pricing. We went there three times in 2 weeks and loaded up on goodies such as take 'n' bake pizza, chili, and OF COURSE the clam chowder. We also hit the bakery pretty hard and thoroughly enjoyed the berry cobbler, along with a few other sweet treats. Location is easy to find, plenty of parking and service very friendly. Can't wait to go back.

That one tasted more like a fusion of a milkshake and a smoothie, it was heavier, creamier, and more fluffy. It was good but definitely different than we expected.

I don't know if they're using fresh produce or using powders/juices but it tasted a bit off in general.

The Look and Atmosphere of the Shop The Shop was quite small, a bit dirty but it's a little shop, what can we expect (see image 2). There was no seating except some hard wooden benches without a table to eat or anything. There really weren't much to-go options either. It was really uncomfortable to just sit in there wi the out any tables or anything even padding on the seats.

The potatoes were also different and good. It came with a homemade spicy salsa and it was BOMB. Highly recommend getting the salsa. Overall, there's a lot of brunch spots in the area but I thought this was a nice spot. Personally wouldn't think it's worth a wait but it was nice popping in on a weekday for brunch. Seems like a bunch of locals come by. Would recommend this spot for some good brunch and a good lunch menu!

I absolutely love this place! The owners and employees are just wonderful! I finally can trust a place to serve me true organic and healthy smoothies. They are very informative and know what they are doing. Glad they opened up here in the central coast!

What did save it for me was the absolutely kind service we recieved there. The team was so nice and the owner, even though they ran out of sugar, she opened enough packets of sugar to make my friend's lemonade. Extremely sweet! The panini's we got were also very tasty!
