    Fun atmosphere for quick takeout with all kinds of healthy options. I really liked the green island detox smoothie.

    The food is great, service is good, but I like to go there and dine in, but they keep it so COLD and the music is so loud I can’t carry on a conversation with anyone, so I may not be going back as much.

    I never give 5 stars. Staff is too young! Social skills not good! Great smoothies I really like apple pie

    Overall, this location is amazing! The food is hot, the smoothies are packed with flavor....if you go before noon. The morning crew is amazing and make great food. The afternoon/evening crew...different story. All the smoothies taste like ice, and the food is always missing ingredients and is smaller? I come here often as it's one of the only places I can get a smoothie when I work odd hours, and I have come over a dozen times at this point, and the morning is always great...and the evening makes me want to never return after noon. All I want is for the smoothies to always taste the same and for the food to be the same. I just want the evening crew to get more training, and to care, or follow the recipe.
