Our go-to items are the açaí bowl with almond butter, the avocado smoothie with the other fruits is so good as well! We’ve pretty much been trying different items and it’s always good. Thanks Vela!"

The lady who makes the drinks is always greeting you and is very nice.The place is kept clean and is very soothing soon as you enter you hear the calming music I love that.
