Review for smoothies only:

I walked in, checked out the menu looking for a smoothie, then walked out so can’t comment on the flavor of anything. However, I wasn’t even greeted when I walked in or asked if I needed any help with questions regarding the menu. It was about 10am on a weekday and no other customers were inside.

The list of smoothies is very limited in options, and are all pretty basic and uninspiring, Nothing spectacular or interesting to me. Like others have mentioned, I can make many of these at home with common ingredients for much less of a price.

A few smoothies have unsweetened oat milk as an ingredient, but I’m curious to what brand they use. Many oat milk brands add gums and seed oils to their products, negating the “healthy” aspects to it.

Also, agave is an added ingredient as well which in my opinion, is unnecessary when you’re already adding fruits with natural sugar in the smoothie.

Super inconsistent. I order the same thing everytime (almond monkey with plant protein) but lately they have been messing up a lot. Sometimes they use whey and don’t even do the plant substitution, sometimes they just give me an almond blast instead of almond monkey. It’s extremely inconvenient and I’m allergic to whey. Sometimes I order the smoothie through doordash so I can’t easily ask them to remake it. I think for now South Block and I will be parting ways.

UPDATE: I AM CHANGING MY RATING FROM 1 TO 4 SOLELY ON THE FACT THAT OWNERSHIP PERSONALLY REACHED OUT AND SPOKE TO ME FACE TO FACE. This is not easy to do and appreciate the gesture. I will give grace to see if things change.

I come to this location because of convenience but I believe today will be my last. First, I have had constant issues with service. One day I was given a bowl without acai in it even though it was an acai bowl. When I brought it back, I literally had to debate with girl at the front. The bowl was green not purple. Clearly it was missing. Second, the staff can be rude.

Today my husband's order from shake shack came before my bowl and he completed his whole meal before my bowl even was ready. You are making bowls and smoothies, not cooking. Why my order is constantly late even though I order it at least 15 minutes early and still have to wait is beyond me.

Next, I find it insulting that they always need to double check my last name to ensure it's the correct order as if I'm lying. Seems weird when I'm the only black person in the location having to give my first and last name. Y'all are weird. Your management is also not good because everything is so chaotic. Today I watched people receive their bowls before me even though they ordered it while I was in the store.

Don't waste your time. I'll also be filing a corporate complaint. I've spent way too much money for the service and treatment.
