What People's Say About Place

Simple and fresh, perfect for Ann Arbor health seekers. Although the space is small for size, the food is big in flavor. The menu, as well, is also short - but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying. For anyone who wants to know more, there is no room inside for a party of guests - with no AC either. And the wait is a bit long.

great acai bowl! loved the peanut butter fusion with acai puree. simple and fresh. space is small, but great utilization of space. menu is short and straight to the point! we did not mind the wait, but it is quality food, and the wait was worth it!

The Poke Bowl was really really good. I ordered Large and got double tofu. Would like to see some other veg option or allow avocado as a protein. Was very surprised how small this place was on the inside, with only 2 tables to sit at. Luckily we planned to get there before the lunch rush, so 3 of us sat comfortably at a table.

Love it! The menu is what drew me in, but the people are what will bring me back. I love that they offer vegan options. I walked there with my dog and the staff was so friendly and nice. They let me wait outside with my dog and brought me everything, and even brought my dog a huge water bowl. The location is perfect for the neighborhood!

I really love how simple the menu is. The do three things and they try to do them well. the Acai bowl is probably my favorite thing to get along with the tuna poké bowl. The staff and owners are great and they have already remembered my face and name from the few times I've been there. Support your local businesses

Delicious! Tuna bowl and acai bowl, both were freshly made, ingredients were high quality and prepared well, presentation was beautiful, service was fast and polite. Highly recommend it! Can't wait to go back and try more!

I've been here twice for lunch and the Poke bowls are great. Just tried the fruit bowl thing they have for more of a breakfast food and it's delicious. I would love to know what the calories and nutritional values are for each dish.

Tried their Acai bowl which was my first ever. I really liked it. The coconut and peanut butter make it wholesome. The staff was very friendly. I really wish they had more seating and a little more options to add to the acai bowl.
