HORRIBLE DRINK CARRIERS!!!
I had 2 large drinks and the cup holder totally tore when I went to grab it at home. Lost most of it...I'm disgusted that they would output a product without testing it first. If you get 2 larges...just carry them 😬

We went here not too long after it opened, the manager then was rude and it took so long to get our food and it wasn't good at all. Fast forward to today: we go in, there is no one working the counter, it looks closed inside. We order at the kiosk. We wait for someone to come give us our drink cups, took about 5 minutes for 1 person to notice. (Mind you, there is only 1 guy siting at a table just drinking coffee, no one at the drive thru...) The coffee is cold, no milk, asking to get any creamer was a hassle and they wouldn't give you more than 2. The pastries were out of a fridge and cold as ice. we get some of our food. I wait for my sandwich. Everyone else has eaten and I get mine 30 mins later. We gave it a second chance after years, and glad to see it's still the worst place to get food or any service at all :)
