    The blonde haired man was very rude and rushing through the order. Once I get my smoothie and bag of bowls. There is no straw. I honk my horn a few times and no one comes. I pull to front and get out and walk in. I told the gentleman you didn’t give me a straw. He says “my bad” next time ask for one. Rude is an understatement. Find someone who has customer service skills!

    We order from here fairly regularly. The food is usually good. I wish you could customize when ordering for delivery because they are really sauce heavy

    Does this look like a protein pb bowl to you? To me it looks like a peanut butter burrito. Someone is in the wrong and definitely not me as a customer. Because why is it on the app it shows under the bowl section and that’s exactly what I ask for a peanut butter crunch BOWL, and I got a pita bread PB. Be for real. This was a waste of food and honestly a waste of time on the employee to do a wrong order based on the poor training of the company. Tropical Smoothie, do better. On another note the smoothies are always top tier. 10/10 I’ll give them that.

    I got a chia boost smoothie… it tasted like water. It’s always hit or miss at this location. I’ll rather go to the tropical smoothie on 64.

    We ordered 2 acai bowls and were absolutely disappointed by the amount given. For 12 dollars each we got essentially 2 cups worth of acai. There was more honey in our bowls than anything else at that point. We also specifically asked for no strawberries and to sub for extra banana and we definitely only got one portion of the banana in question. The ratios were terrible and the bowls were less than half full. All in all very dissatisfied. Not worth the money at all.
