- WKWendy Nadine KrugerJan 3, 20263.0The three stars are for the smoothies. We’ve ordered the chicken pesto flatbreads before. I know DoorDash can be iffy, but we purposely got express delivery, and this is on the cook. For this order, they weren’t grilled. The inside wasn’t melted. It was like they just stuffed the flatbread and sent it on its way l was hungry and it’s not like it tastes bad. It just tastes wrong. You can tell the cheese isn’t melted and there are no grill marks. (The bread is soft.) I hope it was a one-off failure.
- BKBecky KohlDec 16, 20255.0Yummy. Nice staff.
- KAKiley Dearing (Devina Avari)Dec 3, 20255.0Giving them 5 stars because their service and smoothies are almost always amazing! I just think the management/owner should know that on a previous visit (within the last few weeks) we witnessed a male employee (I think he was new since he was asking how to make certain smoothies) behaving very poorly toward his female coworker (who was only trying to help). He was cursing at her, dropping f-bombs and just being very rude and disrespectful to her in the same breath he was using to ask her for help. The lady deserves a raise, and the guy with the disgusting attitude should be fired.
- DMDavid MarquezNov 26, 20255.0Just love it !!!
- LDLarry DrillingNov 13, 20254.0The food is very good. The smoothies are very good although one of them was very weak. I took it back and they replaced it with a new one which was very good. They did mess up once by not giving me my complete order. When I got home I saw I was missing part of my order I went back and they made me another one. Major bummer though.
