This business needs to update their operating hours. They are not actually open at 7. I placed an order that should have been ready at 7:10a and upon arriving at 7:12 noticed they were closed. I waited an additional 5 minutes with no employee in sight. I ended up leaving but my card was still charged for an order I didn’t receive. Pissed is an understatement.

This location is favorite for my family & I. We tried to stop by once a week to grab our favorite smoothies (Island Green + Peanut Butter Cup) with a wrap (Southwest, usually).
The staff are typically the same, super-nice folks. The drive-thru isn't always the quickest...but that's fine. You can't keep a customized Island Green smoothie in a warming drawer! We love their excellent service & great attitudes!

It wasn't crowded.. it's at the back. Food is ok, but nothing to write home about.

I've been working in the area near this location and I just signed up for there rewards program so I received a number of different promotions recently so in the last 5 days I've had lunch there 4 times and I've had an issue every single time! The staff hasn't been trained properly at all and that's management's fault.
