Every drink I've ordered has been amazing. I love to get real Matcha at Nektar. It isn't like the sweetened fake powder mixes you get almost everywhere else. The best thing I've had there might actually be the Avocado Toast!

20/10 hands down the place I’m going to stop every time I’m in the area! Whether it be loaded toasts or smoothie bowls for breakfast, or that tasty unique cocktail or glass of wine with charcuterie board in the evening! And my girls absolutely love it too!

I want to start off by saying that this place is NOT just a coffee shop. At night it's a really relaxed lounge bar that serves some of the best drinks okoboji has to offer. The smoked old fashioned is usually my go to but they have so many more. I definitely recommend you check this place out if you haven't already. If Ana's your bartender, you've hit gold. Ask her for her specialty drinks. Last time I went in she made me a smoked pineapple margarita with vanilla bean foam and it was unreal. If you're into espresso drinks try a Don Julio espresso martini, espresso old fashioned, or a bananas foster espresso martini. They also have live music on the weekends and games to play if that's your thing. I usually play chess with friends and enjoy and old fashioned. 5 stars all day

Good coffee, super cool and modern interior with a cool patio. I will say, when we arrived more than 30 minutes before their closing time, the cashier rolled her eyes several times when she had to turn on the menu screen and when we ordered food. “We’re out of avocados,” “we’re out of protein powder and we just cleaned all the blenders.” I mean I’d understand if we were 10 or 15 minutes before closing so that was just disheartening. But the kind barista said she’d be happy to make a smoothie still :) the menu has good, flavorful options with creative toasts and good pastries as well. We came back a second time over the week and had a better experience thankfully. Benefit of the doubt, I like this place and hope it does well as we’ll likely frequent during our summers here!
