Love their smoothies. Now if they could put in a jolt of Tajin, that would be great.

This location constantly adds things in my chia oatmeal pudding. If I order in the evening they always put coconut (hate), almonds or cacao nibs. I want what I order each time to be correct.... Also many times I have seen the employees not wear gloves when preparing my food. Or they will wipe sweat off their face and continue to fix my food 🤢.. This location needs to step it up.

The dragonfruit bowl is (or was) my favorite. I purchase it at least once a week. The last two times I ordered it the base was frozen solid. I spoke with someone about it and she told me this is how they are served and there is nothing they can do about it. But she also told me that she is a new employee. This is NOT how they were served in the past because it can't be eaten that way. I would not pay almost $12 for something I cannot eat. AND to make things worse, she had an attitude and was very rude. If I purchase this again, it will definitely not be at the location on Frederica St.

Just picked up a Thai Chicken Salad for lunch. Almost no greens, no crispy strips but so much chicken. Really just a bowl of chicken breast cubes.
