    Didn’t get a chance to order. We walked in no one greeted us, we waited patiently because the children wanted a smoothie. Saw 3 employees, 2 talking to each other and 1 cleaning. After not being acknowledged and waiting for 5 minutes we finally walked out.

    Said the bowl side was closed, but the person in front of me just ordered from that side…whatever that means. This was 15 minutes before closed too.
