I went for Worms Michael which is a strawberry, vanilla bean blended cold brew. The presentation of the drink caught my eye because at a glance it's a red color with bright red strawberry drizzle that gives it a similar look to blood, topped off with a red creamy whipped cream with oreo crumbs to mimic "dirt" that the gummy worm is crawling out from. Now for the taste: the coffee wasn't overwhelming and a good balance of both flavors. I feel like the strawberry has a nice fruity taste with a twist of creamy vanilla, but don’t be fooled, the kick of cold brew can still be tasted in every sip you take.

I will be coming back for more because this place lives up to the hype. If you are ever in the area, remember to bring your camera and family, because you won’t be disappointed.
