- LCLucas CNov 9, 20255.0Been here three times over the past week. They have not missed. Every time was a hit! Flavorful smoothies and friendly service each time. I come around 7:30pm, so special kudos to the late crew! Keep rockin'!
- JJjjNov 8, 20255.0Sadie took my order and she was very calm and polite. Love her !!
- DADan AllenNov 2, 20252.0Good smoothies, pour assistance. They placed our smoothies in a bag that ripped and spilled wasting all the contents. When I called for help they picked up the phone but wouldn’t reply. Finally when someone started talking they offer zero assistance.
- LDlucas dogeOct 6, 20254.0I ordered a peanut butter cup. The first one I was served was straight up peanut water. It was weird and not like what I normally get. So, like the scared (adult) wuss that I am I told the girl (Ellen) up front. She explained to me what she thought may have happened (tiny banana) and remade it for me. And it was very good. She made it easy to tell even though no one likes complaining. Thanks Ellen for being so kind.
- ATAlexander TorresSep 24, 20251.0Ordered a smoothie for my son, should’ve just ordered a cup of ice because it was undrinkable through a straw. For the price I would expect to at least be able to enjoy it.
