I discovered this Smoothie/Ice Cream gem when I first moved to Seattle. I was probably still in awe of Pike Place Market when, roaming around, this hidden vendor started calling my name. Well, it didn't really call my name, 'cause that would be creepy. But I swear to everything that is wonderful, their photos of lovely yogurty/fruit goodness were whispering sweet nothings in my ear, telling me to come over and buy one. So I did. But I'm no good with options. I saw a bunch of varieties and decided that I didn't want to decide. I wanted the smoothie-making girl to give me something she really likes. And what she created was like magic wrapped inside a unicorn. It was the best smoothie I've ever had. Ever. Fuck Emerald and their powders and ginsengs. I like this place because they keep it real and fatty (no matter how non-fatty you ask them to make it). And I love this place because every time I come back and get a different girl's special smoothie I am never disappointed. And neither will you.
