    Whoever is managing this restaurant is failing. Wouldn’t let my daughter eat the food. Didn’t trust the staff, who did not possess any professionalism.

    My mother and I went through the drive-through, and when my mum was trying to order a mixed berry bowl but said a yogurt bowl and the server laughed at us?? We brushed it off, thinking the server was having a bad day or was just being mean, and then it took 15 minutes to get our food. We literally just ordered a yogurt and a wrap (again, we were in the drive-through line and no one was inside). After we got our food and we said thank you the person serving us laughed at us again?? 1/10 don’t recommend this location

    Rude drive thru employee 10/15. He was also rude to the person in front of me at the speaker. Forgot my smoothie after handing me my food and then got an attitude when I forgot what the name of the smoothie was. He said "ugh" and walked away laughing when I said it should be stated on my order. Like I had the audacity not to think quick on my feet for him. I even tipped on the app while ordering. I will never do that again or return to this location.
