Walking Distance - this is a 7 minute walk from the JUNGLE LOUNGE. The place to go for a Smoothie, Açaí Bowl, Kumbucha, etc. It can be fairly busy so be prepared for a wait...but, it’s worth it!

New location across from Amansala. Outside seating with a great back area for dessert and coffee. Make sure you save room for dessert and coffee because they roast, grind and brew the coffee with love. It takes a while to get you java...but, worth the wait.
