    I have ordered here before, however, yesterday I ordered an acai bowl - I found a piece of lettuce in my acai bowl. This wouldn't be the first time I found something that didn't belong in my food or drink at this location. It is disgusting! Attached is a photo in the photos section for proof. I was unable to attach to my review.

    Idk maybe I have too high of expectations but this sandwich was so disappointing. Is it supposed to be served cold? It was so bland and so dry. I ended up paying the 15 cents for extra sauce. Definitely wasn’t worth it honestly and glad I got the app discount because no.

    This is the WORST location! I had a door dash order and either my food wasn’t made or they did not give it to the door dashing. Cool. When I call I get immediate disrespect. A guy got on the phone “I’m the higher up. Repeat yourself”, Very rude and nasty. Never ordering from this one again.

    Food is good and service is great! Cashier is extremely friendly and energetic, I wish I got her name but she was kind to me and I kept seeing that energy throughout my visit!
