The cashier was not very kind and rolled her eyes when I asked her to repeat herself (I couldn't hear through the mask and plexiglass). I work in customer service, so I always make it a point to be VERY kind to the workers--especially women, who are taught to be apologetic! However, it was a challenge when she also told me they weren't making milkshakes that day. She said, "No. We're not doing those," and proceeded to roll her eyes again. It's not about what you say--it's about HOW you say it. Additionally, the service took a long time. I felt really bad for the cashier because she was the only one working, which meant my order took about 20 minutes to make. She was balancing two other transactions as well... I remained patient but left feeling a little disrespected. I completely understand the pain & stress of being in customer service, but you shouldn't take it out on others. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but I was hurt by her demeanor (I felt like I had to apologize just for being there). Anyways, the bowl was yummy and filling, so it boosted my mood immediately. I got the U-N-I-T-Y bowl and ate it outside. Very refreshing! I also got a banana smoothie. It was pretty bland, but luckily I was full from the açaí bowl. I would come here again. Now that I know the vibe, it's no big deal!

I certainly haven't had one of their smoothies since then, nor have I stepped inside. Well last week I decided to see what's new on the menu. This Robeks' location is very tiny. It can only sit two patrons at a time. Their menu has a wide range of smoothies, juices, açaí bowls and avocado toast. I decided to go for the toast with peanut butter and banana. There were only two people working here, they weren't particularly friendly. They did make what I requested. The bread was a very generous slice of toasted Sourdough Bread. I certainly hope it came from The Hartford Baking Company, which is next door from this Robeks, but I don't think it did. There was an equally generous spreading of peanut butter, followed by sliced banana, honey and chia seeds. It arrived in a to go container. Which is wasteful, since I planned on sitting inside. This was pretty delicious! I love peanut butter with banana, it's sweet and nutty! This was $6.99. Their other options of toast also look pretty tasty! If you like juices, smoothies, and the similar, stop by Robeks and give them a try!

Elevating the sandwich was a baked egg, firm but custardy interior and the side of sriracha syrup. Less than a mile off of 91 on our way to Trillium Canton for our son's 30th birthday celebration!

The vibes are always right from the staff and they're pretty conversational if they have the time. They have a counter towards the window if you can't resist a bite before you head out, but they're pretty much take out. Parking is tough so it's right on Asylum but people tend to just double park and run in. I really like their grilled salmon stir-fry! As a heads up, there's no rice but the broccoli and cauliflower are sautéed well in a sauce that tastes like Cole slaw. The salmon is crispy without the dryness and perfectly seasoned. The rainforest smoothie is a little taste of the tropics with mango, pineapple, and watermelon. The large is more than enough.

Located in a shopping plaza on Silas Deane Highway, the inside is pretty large and nicely decorated.

I went on a Saturday late morning, and the place wasn't too busy. There was only one employee working, but she kept up with the orders and the service was fast. I ordered the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Moon, which had chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chocolate cookie, banana, and strawberries. It was delicious! And filling! I like that they use all fresh fruit and no artificial flavors or syrups. I would definitely recommend any Fresh Monkee location, but this one especially, for a healthy, wholesome shake!
