    I was ordering my food for my family and I (3 food items and one smoothie) and after the third item the worker rudely said “oh my god” and started treating us horribly. I was too disgusted and uncomfortable to even continue ordering. Learn how to treat people and don’t work somewhere if making three things is too much work.

    The sweetest and most professional staff I’ve encountered at a quick-service restaurant in a very long time! Everyone told me happy birthday and made me feel special which made my day! ☺️ To the owner, pay them all more.

    Today They forgot the egg on my breakfast wrap which wasn’t a big deal I figured it would be an easy fix so I walk back in and tell the employee in the pigtails that my order was missing the eggs. She demands that I go outside and get the receipt that was on the bag. I get a tad annoyed because I was literally in here just a minute before to pick up my order and I have the wrap and the tropical smoothie wrapping paper in my hand so I CLEARLY got it from here! The manager walks over quickly intervened and was happy to get me a new wrap. But it didn’t end there as soon as the manager walked away to go remake my food, Miss Pigtails starts running her mouth and says “I wasn’t trying to be difficult!!” But she said it in a hostile tone so I ignored her but she kept on with making faces at me, bobbing her head around cussing under her breath, I even turned my back to her but she kept up with the attitude until I got my new wrap and I promptly left. I live across the street Ive been coming here since this place opened but I won’t be back again. Again I’m not upset about the mistake with my food I’m upset that I was bullied over it.

    Never got something here I didn’t like! We have done the order ahead and pick up in store option and have had good experiences with that. I like that you have the option to customize a smoothie to “no sugar” or “half sugar” option. The seasonal dragon fruit/passion fruit smoothie they have right now is really good. I will probably have to get at least one more before the season changes. 10/10 super tasty
