    Just discovered this place, the food is fantastic but it’s very expensive. Plus, there are three different prices for the same item. To help understand, I have posted three pictures along with this review. If they could lower their prices a little bit and decide on one price this place would be perfect

    Very inconsistent with the quality of smoothies. I always order the same two smoothies and on some days the quality is exactly what I look for in my smoothies with the whey protein and peanut butter included, and other days you can hardly taste that they're there. Frustrating because the price of these two smoothies are ridiculously high so you would assume a better quality of smoothie to be recieved. Very dissappointed in the inconsistency, I guess you just have to hope they get it right if you go. Also forgot to mention that I can't help but sense the aftertaste of a watered down smoothie.

    I just went there to order Saturday 12:30pm and I was trying to pay and the guy said the system was messed up he reset it three times and it wouldn’t take any of my cards he asked me did I have another way to pay “cash” I said unfortunately no I seen the other guy bring all my items over which meant it was already made he then proceeded to tell me if I can’t pay they he can’t give me my items the problem is it’s not that I couldn’t pay the system was down and he couldn’t take any of my cards after making me swipe at least eight times. If you knew the system was faulty why would you make me swipe so many times then punish me because your system is down?? Crazy thing is I come there all the time I’m a regular! How unfortunate
