Tessa DomzalskiNovember 24, 2015Visually it's stunning, but don't be deceived by photos, the place is TINY. Come alone. Great chai latte. A very wide menu of healthy dishes.
Bailey RichardsonMarch 28, 2018Amazing spread of healthy options (nut butter smoothies, açaí bowls, salads, sandwiches) plus coconut macarons. AND it’s affordable, family owned/ run & just expanded into a bigger cozy new spot.
Ashley ChanMay 18, 2017Truly a gem of a cafe in LES, mostly for its beautiful decor and Moroccon vibes. They serve sandwiches, smoothies and are most well known for acai bowls. This place is absolutely tiny!
EllieMarch 30, 2017Excellent value in everything from the home-baked cakes to the salads and possibly the tastiest acai bowl in NY. Friendly service and neighborhood feel despite the tiny size (most people get takeaway)
Nicolette RuthFebruary 16, 2018I get the açaí bowl of the week, chicken Cesar salad or sometimes the half breakfast sandwich and it’s all delicious. The staff are great and they are always friendly. Great healthy option.
Ambreen MolitorJanuary 9, 2020I’ve been coming here for ages. A+ ambiance. They’re an LES staple - huge fan of their smoothies and açaí bowls. But also love their omelette options are as well.
Vivienne GucwaAugust 22, 2014The egg platters are fresh and delicious and the staff is super accommodating when it comes to substitutions. Great selection of juices, coffee, and yummy baked goods. Cute atmosphere!
Great team running things here. Everything I have tasted is good. Sandwiches, salads, coffee, baked goods. Lines at peak times, but that just reinforces the fact that you made a good decision to visit

Ale TowerJune 11, 2016Best açai bowl I've tasted in NYC out of the three or four I've tried in my first month here. Would certainly go back when around there.
Bustling! This is where you come with an indecisive group. Coffees, egg dishes, sandwiches, smoothies, overnight oats, chia pudding and pastries.

Very berry açai bowl is the bomb. The people are really cool. This place is *tiny* though. Still, good vibes.
