I'm generally not one for probiotic drinks but when I saw one item in named on a sign in bold print, I walked over. Having a number of errands that weekend and likely not having many meals at home that week, I told them that I'd be by the following week and confirmed they'd be there. I stopped here the following and picked up a bottle of their gazpacho (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=Jpy1BxZfvSZTSVbBjziktg). When I read the ingredients list (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=bTqKe5mzQFof6nrC57sFPA), it made me feel even better about getting this. I noticed the best by date on the jar and had this to accompany my dinner about a week later. It was delicious and the crunchy veggies gave this a texture that I don't normally find in other versions of this. It was also not overly acidic and tart. I will stop by this stand this morning and likely get another gazpacho while exploring their other offerings.

Looking to improve my gut health, I decided to give La Vie a try when I saw their booth at the…read moreFerry Building farmer's market. Unlike regular juice, La Vie's beverages also contain probiotics to improve gut health while cleansing your system. New to juicing, I decided to try the fruit-forward beverages. At their farmer's market booth, one of the team members walked me through the beverage offerings, and I sampled a couple based on flavor profile and health benefit. I ended up purchasing the Tropical Kefir and Blood Probiotic Yogi Tonics, since both are designed to promote gut health and tasted sweet and refreshing. The juices were on the pricey side - each juice cost $12 - but each bottle contains about two servings. I imagine that a full juice cleanse would be quite expensive, but hopefully I can enjoy these on occasion to keep my gut healthy. I'm also interested in trying their coconut kefir and yogurt products.

However, a couple times in the…read morelast few weeks, I've purchased a $1 super lotto from a pre-filled slip, and a beverage, when a particular guy is working there. Brown short hair, clean shaven, kind of slim, maybe 5'10", in his 20s or 30s. Both times he said, with a totally straight face: $20 for the lotto (which was actually $1 if you recall), and then whatever the price of the drink was. And quickly doing the math in his head, he verbally added $19 dollars to the grand total without missing a beat. When I looked at the register seeing the real total (which of course was $19 less than what he said), he deadpanned "just kidding". He did this exact same thing to me two different times in the span of a couple weeks. Seems very sketchy. Benefit of the doubt: I suppose he really could've been "just kidding", but if so, not funny at all and pretty poor taste to be trying that joke on paying customers that you don't know. Especially if you have no comedic demeanor or delivery with it. Keep an eye on this guy.

A perfect car wash if your car is already clean or you like unpleasant customer service!…read more Sigh, I actually had a very positive view of this place, and would recommend them as a nice place to get gas, but unfortunately today we tried the car wash. I was really excited, it seemed high tech and nice, and was excited to make it my go-to. Unfortunately it did not get the car clean (even with the highest level of wash available), and when we got back home we saw there were black speckles on about 8 of the body panels on our pretty new and recently waxed car. This was handily the worse wash we have tried in the area. I wasn't worried because the other places we had dealt with recently would just send us back through if there were any problems, so we headed back over to the wash to help them make it right. When we got there I described my problem, and there was clearly stress about it so this was not the first time it had happened. The person who seemed in charge wanted to see it, so I took him out and showed him the speckles fully expecting an easy solution. Unfortunately he rather brusquely informed me that it was only on a small area (8 body panels is apparently small) and that he could offer to let me buy a towel for something like another 3 bucks so that I could clean it myself. Are you serious? You're going to try to upsell on a customer retention issue?!? Absurd. When we looked around we noticed signs advertising towels for your car wash implying that they were for finishing the job not drying the car. This was not the first time they had had this conversation. I went home and used my own towel and quick detailer to finish they job they failed to do, and most certainly wiped the 4 dollars extra worth of wax upsell off on the 8 body panels that I found myself having to clean by hand having payed for an automatic car wash an hour before. So the way I see it: 3 stars for a below average wash at a slightly lower price than some, minus one star for trying to upsell me and asking me for my labor to get the job done, and minus another star for the bad customer experience/ attitude. Even a simple apology and explanation that touch less car washes have advantages but also technical limits would have avoided everyone reading this review, but that's not what happened:-/ Really unfortunate, we liked this place, but I don't see any reason why we should support a place that does this kind of stuff.
