The people who work here are ok , no real issues with that . Only issue I have is the smoothies aren't always the same . Sometimes they're so delicious I can't stop sipping and other days not good at all. I usually get the peanut butter smoothie which they never put enough of PB or thePB is down to the last drop . If I'm getting a PB smoothie I want to taste that. The banana should not be the star of the show especially when they aren't fresh.so I started getting another smoothie still some days the best and other just not. It's just consistency for me !

I had stopped going to TS as no one seemed to make the Chia Banana Boost correctly anyone. This morning I thought I'd give this location a try. I was welcomed in by Matteo and was very pleasant when he took and made my order!! On my way home, I did a happy dance. It was perfectly made and not watery!! Could actual taste the ingredients!! Kudos to Matteo!!!

Today I had the pleasure of receiving top tier customer service from a young lady by the name of Sa'Miya, she greeted me with a smile and took my order immediately! She also gave me some great recommendations for smoothies which I appreciated a lot because I didn't want to get my usual smoothie today. She was very patient, kind, and respectful.

I’m start off by saying I come here everyday for a 10 dollar smoothie today I went in today the man that works in the morning short white dude that wears the hood I think he the shift manager he’s very rude I told him about how the last coulp of times my smoothies was messed up his attitude was horrible asked me what did I mean I said the right ingredients of my smoothie was incorrect. I can tell by the way it tastes and he still asked me. What did I mean and rolled his eyes and threw my change at me to be honest y’all charged too much money for y’all smoothies to not be able to hire people with better attitudes I’ve been coming here a year I will not be returning. Please get better staff with better attitudes also, because I said something about my smoothie being messed up, he made someone else make it when he has the opportunity to make it because there was no one else there
