The staff is awesome, always so accommodating and the manager, Eva, is super friendly and remembers me no matter if she sees me daily or weeks apart. Love this place for a refreshing treat or a tasty wrap!

I got my smoothie fast and it was peanut paradise. Tasted fresh and I enjoyed it. Nothing super special but nothing bad to say

Enter the door and you are whisked away to the beaches of the tropics. Smoothies on the beach, good food. I was never going to leave, but they closed and kicked me out. But seriously, the smoothies were good and so was the food.

I just moved to Huntley and I was so excited to see there’s a TSC next to me because I go a few times a week. I will be going to Lake In the Hills due to the horrible ownership and management at this location . I had 1500 points to use for a free smoothie. I showed the employee that it wasn’t working from my app. Asked if I can scan the code in store. He scanned and said it didn’t work… I said ok? So what are you going to do? He said there’s nothing I can do. It’s the smoothie you’re ordering. So I tried another smoothie and changed the ingredients. Didn’t work again. Now it says I’ve used the points already and I need to wait to redeem more (I hadn’t used any, all of this is app misfiring). At this point I’m getting a little frustrated because I’d think a manager could just come and manually adjust the register? I asked to speak to a manager to see if he’d be willing to help their app error, the kid told me no.
I looked at him confused, said ok, and walked out. I will be making the drive to lake in the hills to avoid such trash customer service. I can’t imagine running a business and being so cheap that you don’t even correct your own wrongs over a small $7 smoothie. I wrote to corporate and I’m assuming they’ll have to makeup for this individual owners lack of business skills.
