I'll get to the point…read more It's a good health food spot. They have smoothies-both yogurt and milk based. You do have a choice of Oat milk and Soy. The pleasant young dude helping me says coconut milk is on its way!! For vegans/veggies- they have wraps, a few salad choices, and the flat bread which I ordered... Food-not impressed with cauliflower flat bread. It's a horrible vehicle for toppings because it gets soggy quick and blends textures with the melted cheese- it's off putting BUT there's a saving grace in that you can order the wrap instead. Flavor was there though. The chicken and goat cheese with Frank's hot sauce is delicious and simple and actually has great flavor! You can order it without meat or beyond chickN. It's very clean, very relaxing, and fir readers, you can grab a quick bite and get your read on in peace. I do recommend giving them a try.

Another acai place! I love what I've come to call "fruit bowls" and am not mad about another one…read more Grain and Berry differentiates itself by having a fairly large number of other options, such as toasts, smoothies, flatbreads, and so on. There's ample parking since it's in a very large shopping center. The inside is larger than expected with plenty of spots to sit. I could see working on a laptop in here; it's well air conditioned and has a nice vibe. Several staff members were behind the counter and they were quick to greet me and begin work on my order. I got the grain and berry, which had bananas, blueberries, and strawberries on a bed of granola and acai, with peanut butter, Nutella, and coconut flakes. It was packaged and ready to go in a reasonable amount of time. Compared to other places, I did think the price was a bit high. I enjoyed my fruit bowl when I ate it for dinner a little bit later. The acai wasn't overly sweet and the ratio of granola to fruit was pretty perfect. I was missing the coconut flakes - idk if they didn't put them on or if I just never detected them. The fruit ratio was also a little off in my opinion -- only a few diced up pieces of strawberries, a handful of blueberries, and then a LOT of sliced bananas. Lastly, I really wish the peanut butter and Nutella had been drizzled on top. At first I thought I didn't get any at all, but I eventually realized it was in a layer below the fruit and above the granola. This might've been done to preserve the appearance of the bowl/lid since I got it to go, but I feel the flavors got a little lost when I ate it. Overall, these are minor nitpicks/personal preference so not a huge deal. I could easily see myself returning for another bowl in the future. Thanks, Grain and Berry!

Story time: when I was in middle school, there used to be a Planet Smoothie in Parkway Place Mall…read more It was a special treat to go there and get a smoothie called a Chocolate Elvis -- peanut butter, cocoa, bananas, milk, and frozen yogurt. It was delicious! Sadly, that Planet Smoothie closed a long time ago -- definitely more than 5 years -- and I was left without a place to get one of my favorite treats of old. Well, I was driving by Metro Diner et al the other day and realized that a Planet Smoothie was open on Whitesburg! I resolved to come in soon to see if their Chocolate Elvis was as I remembered. It was raining, as it has been for weeks now, and I stopped to shake out my umbrella before entering. I didn't see the gentleman walking by and accidentally caught him in the shower. I apologized but he smiled at me and asked if I was going into Planet Smoothie. I said I was and he held the door for me -- that was when I realized he was one of the employees. This kind gesture was representative of the whole staff. An older woman was ordering ahead of me, and she was very new to smoothies in general. They were super patient with her, explaining all the options and ingredients. They even took out and showed her some flax seeds and told her what they tasted like -- she had never heard of them before. A person I can only assume was the owner or manager asked if she could get anything started for me while her other staff members helped the older lady. I wasn't in a huge hurry, so I told her not to worry about it, but I really appreciate that they paid attention to me and wanted to help make my experience as quick as I needed it to be. I talked with her about the old Planet Smoothie at the mall and how much I used to love going there and how I excited I was that another opened up that was convenient for me. She was warm and seemed so thrilled that I'd found them. When I got my smoothie, it was exactly as I remembered. Creamy, chocolatey, peanut buttery, with a subtle banana flavor, too. More like a dessert than a healthy smoothie...but their small portion is only 300 calories and was plenty for me for a quick little lunch. I don't review chains often, but the staff here, combined with my tasty treat, really won me over. Keep up the good work -- I'll see y'all soon! :)

So I'm not a novice in what the taste and quality should be. I asked several questions about protein in different smoothies, and how the sizing works. The lady was kind and did her best to communicate (English is her second language). My review is not based on the service, but on the experience and quality. There's no clear pricing, the descriptions are vague, and the quality was bad. I bought a regular sized Chunky Monkey smoothie. It was all powder based and honestly the worst smoothie I've ever had. I tried to make myself drink more of it because it was $9, but I just ended up throwing it away.

GS has lots of room to sit and stay awhile, while Angel's Island has a small indoor space but features its efficient and well-used drive-thru. GS has excellent pastries. Angel's has good ones, but clearly relies on its coffee and convenience. Both are great. Depends on what you're looking for and, for sure, where you are.

I knew it was all I wanted, and it would fix me. I originally drove to the Whitesburg location, but after sitting in line for 30 mins (this unfortunately isn't an exaggeration of time because my mind was clouded with hunger, it truly was from 12:59pm-1:29pm before I finally gave up and had to drive off. I was just too hungry- I'm sorry!) Drove straight to the Cecil Ashburn Dr location. I was determined to have my Tropical Smoothie fix. I was greeted promptly and politely, and placed my order. I was able to pay and receive my food very quickly by courteous staff. I ordered a green island detox and a chicken quesadilla. The food was piping hot- just the way I like it (I mean, who doesn't?) and my smoothie was delicious. After a long day of travel, this was just the thing I needed to feel better. I really appreciated the quick service. Apologies for ragging on Whitesburg a little, I'm sure they were super busy. I do understand understaff issues and surge times, I just had to make the call at the 30-min mark.

I felt like I need to come back and add to my review, after giving them another try, and meeting up…read morewith some women I met from church. We were able to talk about Mudslingers and why we personally feel like the business isn't good. With that, I really wanted to love Mudslinger's Coffee in Owens Cross Roads. I'd heard about them for a while and was hoping they'd bring something special to the local coffee scene -- but unfortunately, my experiences have been consistently disappointing. The biggest issue isn't just the coffee, it's the attitude behind it. Their espresso and drinks often have a bitter, almost burnt taste that doesn't line up with what you'd expect from "fresh espresso." Many people -- myself included -- have noticed this and given feedback, but instead of addressing it or offering to remake a drink, the response tends to be dismissive. They often say, "That's how our espresso tastes," as if that ends the conversation. But anyone who's had truly fresh espresso knows that's not how it should taste. What's frustrating is that this isn't a one-time issue. There are many similar reviews online mentioning the same problems -- both with the taste of the drinks and the customer service. When so many people are saying the same thing, it's a sign that something needs to change. But instead of trying to fix the problem, it feels like Mudslinger's has chosen to ignore it. Another thing that stands out is the inconsistent service. Sometimes, the workers are warm and chatty -- but only with certain people. It honestly gives off a bit of a "clique" vibe, where if you're a regular or part of their social circle, you'll get friendly conversation and great service. But if not, you might get a quick "hi" and "bye," and a cold, rushed interaction. It's disheartening to watch someone in front of you get a five-minute friendly chat while you're met with barely a word. Which ended up making a lot more sense to me once I realized almost everyone who works there is related, and many people who have worked there had a bad experience because of said family. Which personally, I think it half of your reviews are made up of your literal workers making "good reviews" then that is a big even sign in itself... But, that is just my opinion, cause as a past business owner I would never go and write good reviews for my own business? Just not ok, whatsoever! Which... If you can come on here and give your own business a review, why can't you respond to customers trying to give very much needed feedback... What makes this even more disappointing is that customer service is where great coffee shops usually shine. A good coffee shop understands that coffee is a personal experience -- that not everyone likes the same flavors or intensity. The best ones take feedback seriously, and instead of hiding behind excuses, they make things right. It's refreshing when a business truly values its customers and listens to them -- unfortunately, that just hasn't been my experience here. To wrap this up though, I truly hope Mudslinger's listens to all this feedback. Owens Cross Roads has a lot of great coffee shops that not only serves great drinks, but also treat every customer with the same kindness and respect. So it would be great to feel that here as well. A little effort, humility, and genuine care could make all the didn't
