    Ordered a wrap online. Went to pick up, it’s the wrong wrap. I took it back thinking they would simply remake it, but instead they had me wait five minutes for my original wrap which had been sitting on the counter the whole time and was now cold. This was just this past Saturday. Like how hard was it for yall to do your job and make another wrap? That was completely avoidable and inexcusable. Pure laziness. Wasn’t even busy at the time.

    Smoothies taste the best at the Bartow location. In comparison, the smoothies at this shop have more ice, are less sweet, and fruit tastes like its not quite ripe. I still stop here from time to time, but it could take some tips from their Bartow location.
