- MTMika Tirado-Aispuro5 days ago3.0The last two times I’ve gone my ordered was botched. The first time they handed me someone else’s drink completely. Gave them a second chance and they made 2/3 drinks wrong by making them coffee instead of chai
- CCCharlesDec 31, 20255.0First time ever and I was pleasantly surprised on how clean and organized it was. The crew was all hustleing
- VVValeria VillaDec 26, 20253.0Waited almost an hour for one drink and they forgot to putting the topping on the drink
- MBMarisol BalbuenaDec 15, 20252.0I recently made a review how I loved this location and the staff members but when I went today I was treated HORRIBLY. It was just me & another car in line when they were taking our order I was next and another car pulled up and they took that cars order instead when I was already close to the window then the lady told me to stop my car and let the other car pass In front of me. It was already passed the merge lane, hence why I was next. Then I asked her why she took their order first she said “I just have to zig zag even if you were here first”. I didn’t order and I went to the other location where they put whoever’s comes in first ACTUALLY first. Glad there’s another location nearby won’t be coming to this one anymore.
- SRSamantha RoseDec 12, 20255.0I went through the drive through sometime in the past week. Caley was at the window and made what was a bad day a million times better! I will absolutely be coming back to this location!
