My absolute FAVORITE smoothie place EVER!! My favorite is the Bahama Mama smoothie but I dragon fruit, instead of pineapple. The workers are always so nice and accommodating. Never disappoints! I come here at least twice a week, sometimes more. I just wish they had one closer to me. Or maybe not, as I'd go broke lol

The worker Isabell was kind, and very helpful. She was very patient helping me with my order and suggested the pomegranate plunge, which is now my new favor. I recommend this location due to its staff.
