The drinks are delicious and so creative (my favorites are the rotating matcha flavors) but what compelled me to write this review was trying their avocado toast for the first time today. Truly the best avocado toast I’ve ever had!! 10/10 recommend this place! From my dad: “ I love the vibe at Fluid!

Out of all the locations, I love this atmosphere the best. Although it tends to be hard to find a place to park, I was lucky to get right in front. Ordering was quick and easy. My typical drink of choice is the Diana of the Dunes, which consists of lavender 💜
