    BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU’RE ORDERING DELIVERY. I always order breakfast and brunch from this location, and my order never arrives complete. Their system is horrible. I call to fix it, and they tell me to go get the food I'm missing. They say they can't do anything at all.

    I’m currently writing this in the parking lot while watching one of the workers just standing out front talking to someone in the parking lot. My mom and I wanted to come and grab a smoothie. It says it’s open. There’s lights on and everything, but the doors are locked however we weren’t able to get in because the worker is just standing outside in the parking lot chatting with Whoever it may be. I understand situations come up and life happens but this honestly just looks like they were a bunch of young friends having a good time talking. If you’re not going to be professional and open up a store when you’re supposed to then why work there? Don’t know what her name is, but she probably shouldn’t work there anymore if she’s not going to help support and manage opening a store. 8/31/25 8:10AM
