    Everything was excellent. The only thing I would change is the parking.

    So ridiculous. I’m a new customer and downloaded the app last week to get a free smoothie. I had driven all the way to this location and didn’t realize my coupon expired all for them to tell me they couldn’t take it. The lady was rude about it too. Ridiculous how they can’t honor something like that. Not great customer service at all.

    Purchase a gift card here for my niece. I wanted to get a smoothie or a bowl however they had no low calorie or low carbohydrate options. I was really surprised and actually disappointed. You would think that a "healthy" type place would have at least one option for different diets. There were absolutely none! Very odd
