CIAO is a great grab and go spot. I had the açaí bowl and oh my god, it was the best one I’ve ever had. You get to pick your own toppings, and it was so fresh and delicious. I can’t stop thinking about it.

I also got a matcha latte, which was nice, but I wish it had a stronger matcha flavour. That’s my only small note. The vibes were great, it was pretty busy so expect a wait but I’d definitely go back. Next time I’m trying their protein balls, they looked amazing!

Would detour again when coming down South for this coffee.
Amy (Barista) was excellent and had a great attitude on a wet,dark and dreary winter Monday.
Well done. 10/10
