    Server was so rude, as if we are asking for free. I paid $2 extra for Nutella and it was not worth at all check out the picture i posted.

    Tell me why they forgot granola on BOTH my smoothie bowls? The last time I ordered, they also left out the chia seeds. You cannot just be forgetting people’s food that they pay money for, especially in this economy. I would recommend going here if you want all your special sides to be forgotten. My meal is honestly just sad.

    My dragon fruit bowl had hair in it and I asked the lady to remake it and she did and very quickly too... but unfortunately the next bowl had even more hair in it than the first one. The quality of everything in the bowl was also VERY bad! The coconut strips were really tough and it turns into the consistency of a sponge. The dragon fruit taste like ice and the "Goji berries" they had on it tasted like red almonds. Not sure if thats how Goji berries are but it wasn't appealing since everything else in the bowl is super crunchy too. The mangos weren't good quality either and tastes like they are from the fruit cups. Very slimy and the honey is too much on top of it all. Also, my receipt was wrong, seems like I actually got a "Bahama Mama Bowl" on paper, instead of my dragon fruit bowl that I ordered... twice.🥲
