If coffee is your thing, this is your place. service: Everyone we interacted with was professional and helpful. Excellent recommendations and attentive service. food: Based on staff recommendations, my wife had the club panini with pasta salad and I had the chicken salad with chips. Both sandwiches were prepared to order and served quickly. My wife bought a couple of cookies from the case near the cashier. Everything we had was excellent. space: We didn't expect to find such a cool space. This is a former storefront with high, pressed tin ceiling and what appears to be original flooring. In addition, it's great to see such a cross section of diners. The place has a welcoming neighborhood vibe. There are shirts, ceramics, and other items for sale along one wall. details: Downtown Parsons has plenty of surface parking both along Main Street and in a public parking lot on the North side of the building. There were diners at every table; however, some tables are large so we shared with another person.

First for 8 bucks, the sandwich had barely any salad in it. did not come with tomato or lettuce and no cheese? This place would be so awesome if they had more variety with choices and not scrimp on what they put between two slices of bread. Highly disappointed to say the least. However, the staff is awesome and friendly and makes up for the weak sandwiches. I want to show this place how to make an awesome sandwich!

I wouldn't say its worth $7 because it tasted like your classic banana/pineapple/mango smoothie that you can get at any smoothie place. I tried my friend's drink -- Shine also a cosmic juice and that was actually so good! I wish I got that! It was so flavorful especially with that shot of ginger. I definitely want to go back on a hot summer day and try their açaí bowls.

I'm happy to have another coffee stop in town to add in the weekly rotation. Some of the "featured" drinks are too sugary and sweet so I recommend ordering to your liking. Service is often slow.

All the shakes use Herbalife protein and supplements so it has the benefit of protein that's easy on the stomach and taste good. My Favorite for years has been the blueberry wedding cake as it taste like you are eating blueberry cheesecake. The shake alone is filling enough to replace a small meal. The protein donuts are amazing compared to any other protein desert I have had before. They are a steal for the 2 for $5 as they are the size of normal cake donuts. They are super soft and moist and the icing is sweet but not overpowering. Flavors rotate between the days so you will have to see which is the daily options. So far I have had blueberry, oreo, and peanut butter waffle, and all were great.

I arrived at the Smoothie King drive-thru at 7:50 PM on Sunday June 22nd 2025--well before the…read moreposted closing time of 8:00 PM. I was told to "wait a minute," so I waited patiently in line. After nearly 10 minutes with no further response or service, a young employee exited through the back door--presumably to go home--and told me they had stopped taking orders at 7:40 PM. When I expressed my disappointment about being told to wait and then ignored, she responded in a dismissive and somewhat rude tone, saying, "The boy always tells people that," and added that they had already removed their headsets. There was no apology or concern for the customer experience. If the hours posted say you're open until 8:00 PM, that should mean you're serving customers until that time--not walking out the door. Based on this interaction, it seems 8:00 PM means that's when the staff leaves, not when they stop serving. This is incredibly poor business practice. Turning customers away 10-20 minutes before close, after asking them to wait, shows a complete lack of professionalism. Judging by other reviews, this isn't an isolated incident. There are frequent complaints about this location not opening on time or closing early. It's clear there's a serious lack of oversight and accountability. If the owners are aware and allow this behavior to continue, that's even more concerning. I try and stop here every time I'm in town but will be looking for an alternative place. Follow-Up Review / Response to Management: I keep seeing responses asking customers to "provide more information," but the problem is very clear and consistent: your store is not operating during the posted business hours. I arrived at 7:50 PM--well before your stated 8:00 PM closing time--was told to wait, and then ignored, only to be told by an employee exiting the building that orders stop at 7:40 PM. You don't need more information--you need accountability. If your team is routinely closing early, leaving before closing time, or refusing service while still "open," then they are not doing their jobs. Asking customers to explain the obvious issue over and over again feels like a way to avoid action. It's simple: keep the store open and serving during business hours, or update your hours to reflect
