- HBHannah BrughOct 3, 20255.0Great service! Very quick and efficient.
- GGgeremiasSep 28, 20255.0My smoothie and food were incredible and the staff was super lovely!
- JHJustin HarrisJul 27, 20251.0Gotten two chicken quesadillas here. First one had no chicken at all, second one had 2-3 pieces. They’re doing it on purpose. Don’t order food here, they don’t want to do it right
- EEEdisJun 17, 20254.0This smoothie cafe is pretty amazing in food quality! We love getting their green machine and banana peanut butter, both are always top quality in taste and ingredients! I must say their service is insanely fast as well they are professional in speed and taste, yet missing the charisma and or enthusiasm towards customer interaction. Otherwise if it wasn’t for that important quality in my opinion then it would be a 5 star! I care a lot about human interaction and how willing a business is to greet with a smile and or engagement of any kind. The place is located in a beautiful part of the state, Lansing is gorgeous! They have in front parking, limited but available for free! As well as a handicap parking spot as their first one parked in blue
