Ordered online approximately around 2pm today. Two smoothies, a flatbread, and a quesadilla. The two smoothies and flatbread were good but the quesadilla was very bad. The cheese was completely unmelted but the tortilla was cooked somehow. Not sure how it made it past the person making it.

Me & my husband got a smoothie each, and they tasted very watered down. Basically mine tasted like water with a hint of mango, & his was all watery banana & no chocolate or strawberries.
The cashiere checked our receipt to see if we tipped, we assumed maybe he was displeased with our tip.
