I am a Jersey girl and we don’t have this store. I was first introduced to this store when I first moved here and I come every week. I had to start creating my own chia oatmeal pudding because I was coming too much. All the locations are great but this is my favorite because they are so kind and friendly.

Overall great prices and same famous tropical smoothie taste, however, staff are not very welcoming, and often rush you through an order, yet still take 10 minutes to prepare your order despite there being in line.

I’ve been a regular customer for months, ordering the same smoothie and bowl every other night around 8:40pm before my overnight shift next door. My order is usually ready when I arrive since they’re closing up anyway.
Tonight I arrived to find the place completely abandoned—before 9pm closing time. Doors locked, lights off, not a soul in sight. They’d already cheerfully processed my payment through the app, of course. Nothing says “customer service” quite like charging someone’s card and then literally leaving the building.
Now I get to spend my morning fighting for a refund on food that never materialized. The staff lately has been surly at best, barely able to communicate when they bother trying, and apparently operating under the revolutionary business model of “take the money and run.” If you’re going to close early, at least have the basic courtesy to stop accepting orders first. What used to be a reliable spot has turned into a complete joke.
This location has completely fallen apart. Do better, or just close permanently and stop wasting everyone’s time.
