Idk if it’s a new owner but this is twice in a row where the smoothie was made incorrectly and watered down not at all tasting good, and two the food was just gross and tasted old, and got my order wrong after repeating it 3 times. Very disappointing. I also got a $14 off any order from a scratcher they give out, the guy wouldn’t let me apply it to my order only took $6 off. Just seems like the quality and maintenance of this place has gone out the window. I got the blue berry bliss, with the veggie hummus wrap and the black beans in the wrap tasted spoiled. Never again last time going o this place unfortunately.

always go here for smoothies and they’re tasty- however be aware for curbside pickup you have to call upon arrival. I waited with my smoothie unknowingly in the fridge for 10 min. The app does not instruct you to call but the workers do
