I was confused as to why Yelp was recommending a place I had already reviewed... but I guess…read moreSunrise Coffee & Sunrise Donuts are separate entities?
The place I went to was outside, on the side of the road, not inside a structure, so I guess I posted in the wrong place.
Anyway, this was my experience, & it was really disappointing... & I had no time to say anything about it in person, because I was on a time limit & busy running errands that day.
Here's the thing... I'd been following them on IG for AWHILE, so the interest was built up enough to want to give them a try, & because I was headed that direction anyway, I figured, "why not?"...
However, I don't know if the girl (the light skinned brunette with the big smile that's in a lot of their IG content) was just having a bad day & ready to leave work or what - it was dead when I got there, except for the small family at the table - but this was one of the WORST smoothies I've ever had!
Consistency & flavor wise... like when you expect something, because it's in the name & you don't get that at all?
Really weird.
I don't make a habit of just leaving negative reviews, but my reviews generally ARE very thorough & well rounded - but it doesn't necessarily make me look forward to any future quality from them, if this is what I got from this place; a super watery "smoothie" that didn't taste like strawberry AT. ALL.
Considering it's got that pink color, you would expect a certain flavor, right? NOPE... & I literally sat in my car for a minute before driving off, taking a couple sips, just to make SURE I was getting the TASTE right. All I could come to conclusions about flavor-wise, was what tasted strongly of vanilla protein powder - that was the prominent flavor ie obvious "top note" at least - & nut milk... & I've had enough drinks & SMOOTHIES with vanilla protein powder, to know the flavor is consistent among most protein powder brands.
Not even a HINT of strawberry flavor.
Strange.
Bummer.
They were already out of donuts before 10AM, so I can't even counter this with, "well, at least the donuts were awesome"...
I came for one thing initially - donuts - & what I DID end up getting, didn't even make the mark.
Not sure I will be back, but ladies, for future reference; a SMOOTHIE should be a THICK consistency, NOT runny, like water. I'm guessing there was more ice to product ratio, thus the COLD LIQUID DRINK that I got & what I paid for it, was just NOT it.
