Delicious smoothie. However, i couldn't taste the difference between my husband's strawberry banana smoothie and my mango smoothie with protein powder. They both looked and tasted about the same. I wished they would've put a mark or wrote on the cup the smoothie flavor (i got mixed up on which was which after walking a few blocks from the location). Quick service. Good location.
For many years I’ve been on a quest to find the best açaí bowl in north county and I think I found it! I got the beach city bowl with coconut and added chocolate (a must). The fruit is so yummy and the service was great!
Smoothies are good if you can get it in a timely manner. Only one worker there who spent too much time on a personal text and call when she's obviously on the clock and supposed to be providing service. 🙄 where's the respect for my time and patronage? Im not getting paid to be here! She is. Literally been sitting here long enough to write this. Employee actually forgot all about me. 20 minutes later I asked if she forgot about me. How could she forget? I was sitting right in front her. When I finally got my order I told the worker maybe she shouldn't be on a personal call while working. She replied, we'll I have a lot of customers. Excuse. Anyway not sure if ill be back because of how she disregarded my concern. Too bad because I've always had a decent experience.
Im here 2-3 times a week! I get the Rio bowl with extra bananas and Nutella. Also the peanut butter banana smoothie with a protein boost is great when im on the go. I love this place!
