    Love love love this location. They always put the perfect amount of Chipotle mayo on the Chipotle Chicken Club (my favorite) and the smoothie flavors are always consistent! Nice staff and management. Will stay loyal to this location.

    I ordered DoorDash. The sandwich and sweet potatoes were good. I drank ~4oz of my detox smoothie then checked to see what fiber I was getting on my tongue. It was plastic. This place takes microplastics to another level blending it up like that. It’s kind of thin and flimsy, so I’m wondering where it could’ve came from. Maybe a part of a food grade glove. I’m sure if I checked the rest of the smoothie there would be more. Maybe I’ll take it home and run it through a strainer. The pieces are pretty big.
