My sister and I were on the hunt for a good protein smoothie spot when we came across the protein…read morelab, and I am glad we gave it a try. The first thing I noticed was how well kept the place was, they keep it clean. The employees are also very welcoming here. We tried the goat, MVP, cinnamon toast, and bikini bod, and all four flavors were really good. I will say, the smoothies that include peanut butter are pretty similar in taste, which I don't mind because I love peanut butter. But I'd definitely come back here when I'm craving a protein smoothie. My only wish is that they listed the calorie and nutrition information for their smoothies, especially since it's a protein focused spot. We paid around $22 for two smoothies. Overall, a good find for anyone looking for a protein packed smoothie!

The location is actually closest to the Trader Joe's entrance, so just be aware of that! I really liked the smoothie I ordered, called Bikini Bod. It has a strawberry-yogurt taste and was really good! My bro got the MVP, which is a vanilla smoothie, and he enjoyed his too. Overall, the atmosphere is reallyyyyy cool! I loved seeing all the Kobe-themed decor, especially the "Greatness" details throughout the place. Towards the bathroom, there's a mural showcasing Kobe's greatest moments and basically his whole legacy. I also loved the design and mural of Kobe that you can see right when you walk in. I'd recommend checking this place out! Just be aware that the prices are a little expensive ($8 for a medium smoothie), and I noticed they were out of stock of some items on the main menu. Staff was kind and fast at making the drinks!

On the morning of the first event, I reached out to ask what time they would be arriving and was only then told that they would not be coming because of staffing issues which they knew the previous day. I completely understand that staffing problems can happen. What I found unprofessional was the lack of communication. No one contacted us in advance to let us know they were canceling, which meant we had no opportunity to find another vendor. As a result, our team lost out on a fundraising opportunity that we had been counting on. For a fundraiser involving a school team, reliability and communication matter. I was very disappointed with how this was handled.

My one flag: some of the nut butter and base blends seem to carry more added sugar than you'd expect from a "healthy" smoothie spot. If you're watching calories or sugar intake, I'd steer toward the more fruit-based blends rather than the nut butter or creamier bases~ you'll get the same great flavor without the extra load. Ambience is bright but a bit dated ~ nothing that takes away from the experience, just noticeable. Overall, good smoothies, fast service, just read the ingredients if you're being mindful of what's going into your cup.

Right after we visited salt room, i took my daughters and visited for lunch pick up. Unfortunately everything was ruined when the employee girl assisted with my order. Not sure if she was having a bad day , but from the start she had this bad attitude and energy towards me. I told her i wanted 3 empanadas and order acai bowls and her vibe was very negative with unpleasant tone. I could tell right away she didnt want to work and didnt want to help me. I gave her 3 orders of empanadas and asked her to give me 2 medium acai bowls. Gave her clear instructions what to have for 1st bowl and 2nd bowl, which she did but seemed frustrated? It was our first time here and i was asking her few questions and she was clearly annoyed also. Once we got to the step to put some different syrup drizzle for both cups, she mixed it up and made a mistake. I clarified again i wanted honey drizzle on mango and almond butter on acai, and she asked me with a attitude "so you dont want these bowls?" It almost felt like i wasted her time and work! Her attitude was the worst ive seen this year at any restaurant. I said yes because my girls dont eat peanut butter and we just want the right order, i wasnt upset rather confused. Once I asked her to remake the right order, her face turned dark and she was clearly upset. At the end she brought the cups, did not even apologize, gave me all the attitude, and gave me the bags and did not say anything... no thank you for coming, NO sorry there was a mistake, nothing. I felt really bad for the owner of this place because store seems to be new and running well but has a cancer in their store. The restaurant can have best price, best quality, best presentation but if you have horrible customer service oriented staff, they will run out of business. As a small business owner myself, I hope the owner(s) read this message Please retrain your staff and if they cannot embrace basic customer service skills, they shouldn't be working for you They will drive your store to ZERO In case if the owners are curious, the girl who assisted us had tattoos in her both arms. I didnt see any name tags, she had dark skin, maybe Asian, but had tattoos on her arms. Unfortunately this will be the first and last time coming. I hope all customers are ready to have unpleasant experience with the staff.
