Just looking for good cup o' Joe on way thru Pontiac. OMG! Stumbled into Max's place. I wish I was hungry. Amazing smoothie menu, and healthy wraps. Since I can only comment on what I had; Jamaican Blue Mountain for $2? Incredible, fresh, hot with some honey and milk/cream. I can't wait to return for a smoothie.

During my weight loss journey Max Maine the owner of the establishment help me in more ways then one. When I started out I had hypertension. Went to the doctor today and was told I no longer have to take medications for it. I am truly thankful to him and his team for making this the best journey. Thank you again to MaxOut Fitness!!!
