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

Beyond impressed with this cafe, the service was the best I have received, the food was excellent all around, drinks were perfect, I am big on good quality coffee and I could taste the richness in it! The staff are efficient and friendly, I will definitely be coming back!

soo yummy!! went here for my friends birthday this morning for brunch and it made our day, the energy was great, food was great, and the owner was super sweet! most places you don’t see the owner actually putting in work (something you don’t see often) it just shows that the owner cares! she was super inspiring and was on top of everything! 10/10 we recommend and made my friends birthday

No matter how busy it is, they still provide positive energy and presentation of the drinks and food they showcase! My wife and I cant complain on what we order. Everything taste amazing and makes us want to order something else for our next visit. We love it here and will return for more!

Stumbled on this place looking for a non chain to do a little work and enjoy a coffee. Such a great little gem. The owner is absolutely passionate and amazing with what she does. Greats each patron with upbeat attitude, takes the time to talk to them and follow up on drinks and food. Super hands on. Planned on coming the 1 time, came back a second! HIGHKY recommend it

Such a great cafe! The food, coffee, smoothie bowls and homemade treats are delicious! To top it off the service and kindness from Barby and her granddaughter was even better. I love when small businesses get it done right and Barby is definitely doing that! Go in and order anything lol you won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much for your service and fabulous food!

SUPER TASTEFUL. GREAT SERVICE. stopped by from out of town, looking for protein places, drove 20 out the way to come check it out. BLT was so tasty, timing was good, even got a free sample as i waited of a green smoothie juice, normally don’t get green drinks, but tried it and was super good! Highly recommended. Hard find a place with nice people, good food and quality everything.
