My wife had read excellent reviews about this place online and wanted to take me there for my birthday. I was very much looking forward to trying a great milkshake at a unique shop in The Factory. The entire staff looked like they were 16-17 years old and from the time we walked up, they were all just standing around talking and laughing with each other. The girl who took our order was pleasant. I tried to ask some questions about options that were available but it was difficult to get any information other than just having a menu to look at. I was surprised to find that they cannot make a plain milkshake like Vanilla or Chocolate. They can ONLY make the specialty milkshakes that are on the menu. I ended up going with a peanut butter specialty shake that cost quite a lot of money and was pretty excited about it, even though I had initially tried to order a vanilla shake. When I got it, it was in a small cup and the shake was VERY VERY thin. I was expecting a nice thick, hand made shake that I could eat with a spoon until it softened up enough for me to use my straw. This one was so melted that all the toppings on top were falling off and running down all over my hand. Even though this was a peanut butter specialty shake, I could barely taste peanut butter in it at all. It pretty much tasted like chocolate milk with some random toppings sprinkled in. While the young lady was preparing my shake, all the other workers were just standing around talking and laughing and I could see them reading off an ingredients list on the wall which they had to continually reference during the entire process. It was clear they hadn't been trained on how to make these. There were no adults in the booth at all. If it hadn't been my birthday and a surprise treat from my wife, I would've complained and asked for my money back, but I ate about 1/3 of it and ended up throwing the rest of it away. I don't know if this is a normal experience or not, but this was a VERY busy Saturday afternoon. Not a day I would've expected a very young and very inexperienced crew to be staffing a place like this. I would not go back unless I was guaranteed someone who knew how to make the shakes properly was on site. Very disappointing. 1 star is generous for the shake itself. The kids weren't rude....just unprofessional and clearly not trained to do their jobs properly.
***EDIT/FOLLOWUP*** When I posted this review on Yelp, the owner reached out immediately and told me she wanted to refund my money and hear more details about my experience. She asked me to call her cell phone. I texted her and told her I was busy at work but asked when would be a good time to call her to discuss my experience. She never returned my text. A few days later, I texted again and said "please let me know when I can call to discuss our experience in greater detail." and again....no response. Unless a company can offer to make things right and invite me to try again, I see no reason to ever spend money there again. Poor in quality, service and customer service followup. read more
