I died and went to coffee & fruit/vegetable heaven today.
I read (mostly) all the reviews. It seemed like people's only complaints were a) the price and b) the friendliness of the employees (or lack thereof). And to preface my review, I will let you know that I have neither of those complaints after visiting them.
I was greeted with smiling and welcoming faces. They asked how I was and let me wander around without bugging me. I can't stand being approached 3 times in the span of a few minutes asking if I need help. Maybe some people like that sort of thing. I don't. I spent some time admiring the spiritual gangster selection of clothes. Super cute. I will be purchasing items in the future. I made my way back to the counter and inquired about the bulletproof coffee I read about on the yelp reviews. I let her know I was vegan and she left out the grass-fed butter. I went with the 12oz as I wasn't sure how much I would like it. I'm sort of a coffee snob. And I'm a black coffee kind of gal but let me tell you something: GET THIS COFFEE. And get it in the largest size they have! Seriously. Order it and don't look back. I wasn't even looking for a new favorite coffee and I found one. What do they call that? Serendipity? It was wonderful.
I also ordered an acai bowl. I'm unofficially on a mission to try out all the local acai bowls and THIS one? Omg. It's perfection in a bowl. The granola is out of this world as compared to Nektar juice bar. Their acai bowl is good, yes, but THIS one? I'll be dreaming about this one and planning our next meeting ASAP. It's that good.
Now what originally drew me to this place was the organic juice selection. You'll read people's reviews complaining about the prices but you get what you pay for people. Go buy and juice organic produce and let me know how much it costs you. Now you want someone else to do the leg work and prepare it for you? They have to make money, people. Realize what you're getting and stop complaining. If you want conventional produce and a cheaper price, hit up your local Jamba Juice. In the meantime, Kaleidoscope will be serving up delicious juice to the organic produce lovers who know and appreciate what it takes for a piece of organic produce to even carry that label. Quality. Quality, quality, quality. This place is a gem. It's no wonder they're successful and have multiple locations.
