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

Now, truth be told, I don't usually drink smoothies. I should. I just don't. Forgive me. I almost didn't order this one, but I did. YAY! THIS WAS FANTASTIC! Add the ginger, you will thank me.
