    Walked in on 8/25/26 at 8pm. Ordered with lady. After ordering and the order started getting made was then told that my order had to be paid via card and not by the cash I had in my hand because she had already counted the register and didn’t want to have to recount it at closing! So… if I had not had a card to pay for my food. This place looses the $50 order I just made , the food/smoothie that they had started and any other CASH orders for the rest of the night? I do not know why but found it to be funny and laughed about it while I found it to be lazy, rude, inconvient and just stupid business. If there is to be “card only” transactions at least have the courtesy to hang a sign on the door so that I am aware before wasting time ordering etc. Good was cold, bland and also had to go back in for forgotten items in the bag. Smoothies were great! Hence the two stars.

    First off when I walked in it reeks of urine. More towards the register area. That through me off. I was greeted by the Manager Rachel. She was the only one who acknowledged me as I walked in. I believe she said welcome in or good morning. I waited behind one customer and approached the register and was me by I believe her name is Veronica. The music is a little bit too loud. So, I said good morning to the cashier Veronica. And I was literally looking at her lips waiting for her response. Because again the audio was quite loud so I had to look at her lips to make sure I can hear her. She said nothing she said how can I help you? I said good morning and I was met again with silence. So I scuffed and I begin to place my order which was going to be about three smoothies and then I said wait a minute did you not hear me say good morning she said I said good morning very low toned. Veronica was very disconnected very rude and deliberately turnt head away from me to look out the window, as if I wasn’t there like to dismiss me. I said you know what I don’t even want order from here. You have an attitude for no reason. Have a great day and I left out. I ended up going to another store. I was googling the corporate numbers location to make a complaint about my experience. Instead I opted to write a Google review for the world to see. So ended up going back to the store. I was meant by Rachel and I asked who was the store manager. she told me it was her and then I explained to her my experience with who she told me was Veronica. The store manager Rachel ended up apologizing on behalf of Veronica. But it’s not her fault that the employee Veronica doesn’t have proper etiquette.Or she lacks people skills. Nor does she posses decent human interaction! I explained to Rachel that I don’t know Veronica personally. I didn’t do anything wrong to her. I wasn’t rude with her. I came to the establishment where Veronica works. Looking to receive decent customer service. In exchange for a purchase that contributes to continuance of the business. And I do not appreciate how Veronica treated me. Like be careful how you treat people. It costs nothing to be kind! In return I left spending $0 at this particular establishment. And I will go and spend my money elsewhere. SMH!

    UPDATE: I emailed as requested by owner and have received no response. They're not actually concerned with customer service follow-up. Simply confirms my previous decision not to return. Smoothies were great. We were overcharged, however, and I didn't realize it until after the fact. Hot food took FOREVER to come out. While we were waiting, gentleman working with the food was dropping f bombs loudly. We won't return to this location.

    I ordered 2 meals and 3 smoothies on the app, we sat down at a table, we were given our smoothies and after 15 min, I went to the counter to find out about our food, I was told the one sandwich was done and sitting on the back counter now cold and the second could not be made because the oven was broke, I was asked select something else. Not good service, I will probably skip this Holly Park location the future.
