“I have been going to LAN for a few months now and I recommend them to everyone. Kelsey and ALL of her staff are so nice and welcoming and they genuinely care about you and your goals. I have been feeling sometimes blah at work or when I get home to work out lately and tried deciding if I didn’t have as much to do (because usually it’s so crazy lol) or if i’m just being lazy or not getting my normal nutrients in that I should be that energize me or what. But I kid you not every time I get a drink or shake from LAN, I am literally on fire and just knocking things out left & right and getting inspired. It truly does give me energy and helps me focus to get things done. I love it & will continue to visit!! Kid-friendliness: Loves kids & furkids!“
“Extremely impressed with the quality of service! This was my first time visiting a smoothie king and I was a little overwhelmed by the size of the menu. I apologized to the staff member attempting to take my order and let her know that I may need a minute to look everything over. Instead of saying "take your time" and walking away or being annoyed that I didn't know what I wanted (which I feel is the usual response) she immediately asked me what type of smoothies I usually get. From there she asked me more specific questions to narrow it down to one smoothie in particular. She then listed out the ingredients rather than having me find the ingredients myself, one of which was dairy. I asked for a dairy substitute and the staff member took the time to clarify if this was an allergy since different procedures are taken for allergies to ensure no cross contamination occurs. I do not have a dairy allergy but was very appreciative of her asking! Not only was the staff member taking my order extremely thoughtful, but she hit the nail on the head with her smoothie suggestion, it's delicious! Additionally, the staff member who made my drink was also very friendly and made sure to thank me for coming in and wished that a enjoy the rest of my day. As a restaurant manager, I often make assessments of the service, rather than the food or beverage to judge my likeliness to return. I can confirm this is the first time in a VERY long time I've gone somewhere (other than the restaurant I work at) and experienced such great service, not to mention a great smoothie too! I wish I would've asked for both staff members names because they won me over and I will be returning because of their service :)“
“This is my favorite place to get chai lattes. I recommend adding caramel or vanilla syrup to your drinks (they have several other add-ins). This coffee shop provides fast drive thru service, and the prices are reasonable. Definitely worth stopping by.“
“I'm not a coffee drinker, but today, I was a victim of road rage. I pulled into the coffee shop as someone yelled at me to get out of my car. The ladies at the drive through were confused and I told them I was being chased and harassed.The perp left. I ordered coffee and it was the best coffee I've had as a non-coffee drinker.Thank you for helping me out today. :)“
“I would always tell people of Kansas that if they had not seen the beauty of the Konza Prairie? It was shameful (said in jest…kinda). Now there is another. Aggieville has one place (to me) that holds special memories being at the beginning of a business opening called ZL Smoothie. I was thankful to be there at the right time and place to meet Joe. I came back again for Halloween to see more of this business opening. It was the best and I posted a pic of him in his Pokémon suit giving candy! I felt his instant kindness radiate. From a business family background, He has an amazing head on his shoulders. I asked him to get customer feedback with the grand opening menu. Humility present, he did and college kids spoke up. I still remember him texting me the new exquisite menu a few months later. That is what made his business excel. HIM.And with Batman, there is Robin.His sidekick, Ervin, is a breath of fresh air. Well they both are but Ervin has a trait to make you feel happy even when you want to be anything but.They will LISTEN to what you want in terms of a boost of energy, some mental focus, a smoothie before a workout…(my yummy “throw in shake” of long ago gave me an extra 3 miles, making it 10 on the Konza. I could NOT have done that run at all without Joe helping me. And it was one of my last. And I’ll be forever grateful to him for that)I have used the CBD gummies and they do help immensely if you have minor sleep issues. My favorite is the Hemp balm and I challenge ANYONE to find another product that will take aches away like that. My days are done of “Konza Kate”. But I do not think it is a coincidence that businesses shuttered and he is still thriving. His heart is positive and is faithful and still being in Aggie is not by chance. The soldiers I helped all know where to get a good pre-workout smoothie, and friends from the Konza (I ran with tons) all know where to go to help them run the miles I did. *secret sauce, and K state students from churches I go to love their study smoothies. (I’ve been kept up on the new flavors)This review is LONG overdue. When you run a business with honor and grace, It’s a recipe for success. You reap what you sow, Joe. I know you will continue to thrive especially with the company you keep. (❤️ to u Ervin)So if you haven’t been to ZL Smoothie? Go on in and see what all of us fellow reviewers see and leave with a yummy smoothie, gummies or the best Hemp Balm that that works. And if you haven’t been to the Konza Prairie? Stop at ZL, get a smoothie, and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of what a former New Yorker used to run and chase the sun every day until legs said no more and hemp balm was new best friend, along with a friend beyond the store.Joe…we will have that Prairie walk soon...❤️“
