They started selling acai bowls and it was delicious. The manager Leighton greeted me upon walking in and told me about their latest addition to the menu. Now I can come in for my morning coffee and get an acai bowl for breakfast too. That’s the definition of a one stop shop. Will be back! It was so good that I started eating it before taking a pic (sorry!)
