Went for a latte but ended up grabbing a hot spiced apple cider instead. Was perfect for the chilly weather and not overpriced at all. Very nice location too so we grabbed our drinks and walked to the capital (which was 5 mins away) to enjoy the view. Will def be back!!

Lo, gentle friends, attend this humble tale: This morn I ventured forth in quest of cheer, And found within a house both bright and hale A cup of joy, a potion rich and clear. A Raspberry Mocha, heaven’s sweetest art, Did warm the soul and wake the drowsing heart. The air was filled with music soft and kind, Each note a balm to ease the weary mind. The colors danced like dawn upon the wall, And laughter moved as light through marble halls. Yet chief among these blessings, mark me true, A youth did stand behind the counter fair, Whose smile could melt the frost from morning dew, And with swift hand did craft the drink with care. O noble barista! Worthy thou of praise, Thy kindness lights the dullest mortal days. If ever coin should cross thy gilded till, Let generous hearts give more than custom’s will. A tip of sixfold and thrice o’er that sum Should grace thy hand, for joy through thee has come. Thus end my words, though still my spirit sings, For mocha sweet and man who kindness brings.

Had a solid experience here, good smoothies, good service and a nice outdoor space. The menu is actually pretty big so there are a lot of options for food as well as a good amount of smoothie combinations. I'm a big fan of outdoor spaces and sweet lemon has a nice one, the staff was very nice.
