Great healthy alternative for lunch. The smoothies and quesadillas are great. The pesto egg wrap is my favorite. They've never gotten my order wrong 💖

Was sitting and waiting for a good 15 minutes for a small order despite the place barely being busy. There were only two employees working and for those 15 minutes I had to listen to them yelling to each other and obnoxiously talking smack about their coworkers instead of making my food. When I told them that I’m still waiting on something they in response told me that they’re understaffed, which I understand, but if they were actually doing their job instead of talking shit then that would be less of a problem. Not to mention that one of the workers was ridiculously huffy and slamming things around like a toddler while they made orders. Pretty embarrassing work ethic all around. The food was good and the place seemed pretty clean but that’s the only real pro here.

I’m here a few times per week and Jen and Chewy are hands down two of the best people I have ever met. They are an asset to this location.

Worst acai bowl ever. Tiny, expensive, they don't even blend them. Just pulled out of the freezer with a granola bar broke up on top. Can't even scoop it, had to chisel away to eat it. Like eating a pop sickle with a spoon. They also can't pronounce anyone's name.
