✨Employee Spotlight of the month✨

Our sweetheart Liz takes the spotlight this month with one of her favorite drinks too make for herself during school,
🍓Berry Enchanted Matcha🌷

Ceremonial grade matcha made with oat milk, flavored with strawberry jam, and topped with a house made blueberry jam cold foam. (we have a vegan blueberry cold foam option as well)

This drink is a perfect balance of matcha and strawberry without being too sweet! It’s a perfect pick me up on a nice summer day🌞

Everyone’s favorite little brother Nathan takes the spotlight this month with his own smoothie recipe,
🥥Piña COOLada🍍

This smoothie is made with coconut milk, pineapple, coconut flakes, coconut oil, sweetened condensed coconut milk, banana, and hint of lime.

You’ll want to sit back, relax, kick your feet up, and put your sunglasses on while you sip on this twist of a piña colada. 🏖️Or cruise downtown on your longboard in the beautifully warm and sunny weather like Nathan😎

✨Employee Spotlight of the month✨

Our beautiful manager Marisa takes the spotlight this month with a new toast combination,
🍳Moxy Toast🌀

This toast is on our house made gluten-free/vegan flora bread, with our house made lemon-garlic hummus, topped with sliced avocado, cherry tomato, and drizzled with sriracha. Add a fried egg or vegan egg for $2!

Try out this delicious new breakfast (or lunch) hummus toast. The slight spice from the sriracha balances out so well with the creaminess of our hummus, the cherry tomatoes add a great POP of flavor. We LOVE this toast with a fried egg and we think you would too!!😋

✨Employee Spotlight of the month✨

This month we feature our lovely employee Katlin and her favorite smoothie of the month recipe.
🥜Peanut butter & Jelly🍓

This drink is made with coconut milk, apple juice, strawberries, banana, mauqi berry, and peanut butter.

Katlin loves this nutty-berry combo because it reminds her of a classic pb&j but as a sweet, refreshing treat! Who doesn’t love a good pb&j?
