An awesome experience!! First of all, this place is so easy to access! Lots of good parking for this inviting little cafe in the public area of the beautiful YMCA building!! We tried the egg sandwich and an acai bowl! So Delicious! Great portions and the staff was so welcoming and attentive! We also had their cold brew and a latte… delicious island roasted blend! What a treat! Definitely worth checking this place out!! I didn’t even know the Y allowed folks into the building to their cafe without being a member, but it was easy peasy and so welcoming! Thanks Aquila! We will be back for sure!!

It’s been some of the best food that I’ve had in a while. As someone who’s lived on the island my whole life and gone to pretty much every single restaurant this still remains one of the bests and my personal favorite. The service is excellent and the food is just as good. I was only mad i don’t have anymore money to buy more.
