    I had a very disappointing experience at this location. I ordered a smoothie and specifically asked for light ice. When I received my order, it didn’t look like they followed that request. I politely asked if they could remake it with light ice, but the staff refused, saying their manager instructed them not to adjust the ice amount. This approach felt dismissive and frustrating. If customers are not allowed to customize their drinks, then the option should not be offered in the first place. Refusing a simple request like this shows a lack of willingness to listen to customers, which is very disappointing. I hope management reconsiders this policy, because customer service should be about flexibility and respect for the customer’s preferences.

    I've only ever ordered delivery, but it's always good. I love that they have tropical flavors and that you can add vitamins.
