Love this place! Got coffee here over a decade ago when it was "Coffee Brake" and the new owner let me know she had bought from that family, and had been running it ever since. Family owned, great customer service, and top-notch Dirty Chai Lattes. Support small businesses, not the union busting corporation down the street ✊

I got the Hammerhead coffee and Acai bowl and it was great! Plus, this neato sticker really was nice.

My favorite is the nutty professor! & their seasonal drink "the grinch" it's a Peppermint White mocha.If you pull in & you see many cars. Just be patient & it'll go fast.$5 for my coffee fix in the mornings is a win for me.

The best little hidden gem. A tiny, and I mean tiny shop in the middle of a parking lot. The drinks are delicious. But the acai bowls with peanut butter is to die for!!! The baristas always welcome me with a smile. Quick service. I love the monthly specials!

It's good but they never go in order of the way you pull in. There is 2 windows so they'll alternate sides even if you waited longer than the person at the other window. Not fun to see other people being served after only waiting 5 mins when you had to wait 20.

I don't know what the heck kind of magic they put into this bowl, but this was absolutely the best açaí bowl I've ever had. 10/10 that's it.

The people are super kind and I have yet to find an item on the menu that's not yummy. Their acai bowl is so good I was eager to get one on my day off and the kiddo enjoys the smoothies.
