Stepped into the coziest spot today and it was pure bliss! Their Dubai Strawberry Chocolate is an absolute dream – perfectly sweet and so unique. And the Mocha Matcha Frappe? Incredible! It's the perfect blend of flavors. Highly recommend this charming little gem.

I come here at least once a week, sometimes more. It’s right next to my son’s baseball so we definitely take advantage of going as much as possible. The coffee is amazing! The chicken salad is my favorite lunch item, I love the orange rush protein smoothie. And of course the viral Dubai strawberries are everything. The staff is really great, as soon as you walk in the atmosphere is super upbeat and positive. The owner Barby is always there, she is so sweet especially when I bring my kids in she always gives them treats on the house. We just love going here. Beautiful cafe for SWFL
