Nice variety of smoothies and bowls. The protein smoothies are really good and I like that they give you the option of either whey or pea proteins too.

I got the mango açaí bowl. I feel the mango base could be more flavorful overall. The protein waffles my fiancé had are good. He doesn’t like chocolate, so he ordered the PB banana ones without chocolate. They added chocolate so I told them and they had no issue remaking them. All was fine until I said “but if you have to throw them away we’ll take them” because I do like chocolate and I know most places have to throw food away once it has crossed over the counter. The two employees working there gave me very dirty looks and then looked away. I didn’t say anything crazy, most places let you take the mistake if someone else would eat it.

Let me start by saying I can’t comment on the food, though I’m sure it’s good — at these prices, it should be. What I can comment on is the experience, which is why I’m leaving this review.

We visited on a Friday night, went out of our way to bring a family of five here, and the place was empty. Our server, Josie, was wonderful — attentive and kind — and this review isn’t a reflection on her. She’s the reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 for service.

The issue was $30 worth of Clipp bucks (similar to Groupon) we purchased specifically for this restaurant. The promotional portion did expire, but the dollars paid never should — that’s how Clipp works, and you have that guarantee when you purchase them. The owner chose not to honor them. He wasn’t on site but was available by phone, and unfortunately decided not to engage with us directly by phone and only spoke through Josie, though, we ultimately wanted to talk with him specifically.

I realize there’s been a change in ownership, but here’s why declining to honor prepaid credits is short-sighted:

Trust: Customers need to know money spent on your business is respected. Breaking that trust damages reputation.

Loyalty: Saying yes to a small credit can create repeat customers. Saying no over $30 can cost far more in lost business.

Integrity: New ownership is a chance to set a positive tone. Refusing to stand by prior commitments sends the opposite message.

Even a small gesture — like honoring a drink, or suggesting their free-drink app offer — would’ve turned this into a positive experience. Instead, no alternative was offered, which made the refusal feel even more short-sighted.

This isn’t about $30 — it’s about whether customers believe their investment in your business is secure. We made the effort to support this location. I’ll leave it to management to decide how they want their business to be perceived.

Don’t really appreciate being skipped over and having two individual’s orders made who were behind me and then being told “I’m sorry it took so long”. On top of the outrageous prices.

I’ve never had a bad experience here. The customer service is always on point and I never have to wait when I have placed an order ahead of time. 10/10. Thank you.

Delicious!

My smoothie bowl was less than half full. It’s ridiculous. Also only 3 toppings for a $14 bowl is ridiculous.
