The thing I like most about it is that this is the only spot for a quick breakfast that is also healthy and relatively low calorie, perfect spot to start your day with summer around the corner. Vegetarian/ vegan friendly. Kid friendly.

I always try to support local businesses, but unfortunately, my recent visit here left me very…read moredisappointed. My boyfriend and I spent just over 40 minutes in the shop for what should have been a quick order. We were not greeted upon arrival, and the person who appeared to be the owner or manager was preoccupied making multiple shakes for her son while chatting about the new barstools she had purchased. Nearly 10 minutes passed before we were acknowledged, and another 10 before we were told she would be with us shortly. When my order was finally made, it was incorrect. Before I could let them know that I was fine with the mistake, the drink was dumped and remade, adding even more to the wait time. Unfortunately, the remake was also incorrect--this time missing the powder flavoring I had originally requested--resulting in a plain shake. Given the extended wait, the lack of customer service, and the price point, I cannot justify returning. I value supporting small businesses, but this experience demonstrated why many customers turn to chain establishments that have the staffing and systems to provide consistent service.

This is the kind of place that sometimes makes you feel like you are bothering them for being a customer. If there was a smoothie place closer to my house I'd go there instead. Maybe I'll open one and hire kids without attitude. Side note, there is a young brunette girl that is always smiling. They need to hire more of her type.

My husband has also stopped by in the mornings for a "breakfast shake", a great spot any time of the day.

John helped me and recommended an amazing smoothie bowl. I watched them juice fresh fruits and veggies to make the smoothie base for my bowl, which I honestly didn't expect and really appreciated.

I want to support Black-owned businesses, especially the ones charging premium prices...but the…read morecustomer service has to match. I came in ready to spend money, but was met with poor attitudes and staff who clearly didn't want to be there. How are you a smoothie spot out of bananas at 11am? And worse, why am I only finding that out after I place my order? Given I called ahead of time asking about the smoothie bowls being in stock, given their website said everything was out. There's too much potential in our community to let businesses fall short on the basics. If you're going to charge high prices, train your team, keep your inventory stocked, and lead with hospitality. Because right now, it feels like we're paying extra just to be disappointed. Nonetheless, the smoothie bowls were fresh, tasted good, but I won't be returning given the poor customer service. You would have to pay those girls to smile. Smh
