I got the acai bowl and while it was good, the prices are insane for the portions. I can get the same thing at Playa Bowl for a very similar price and it will be twice as big. The staff was attentive to detail though, and left off the items I did not want on my order.

Thank you TSC team! I was having a busy work day and ordered food for lunch from here. I got pulled into a meeting last minute and was late picking up my order. They made it again to make sure it was fresh! Just turned around my day! It
