Rush Bowls — Restaurant in Fort Collins

I am sorely disappointed in this Rush Bowls yet again. I didn't want to write a review, because I have such fond memories of how good it was when it first opened. We used to go ALL the time to get the Berry Fresh and Summit bowls.

However, the quality of the bowls has declined tremendously. Both the bowls and the smoothies are never blended fully. I was hoping this just my be user error, so I didn't want to write a review. However, it has been happening everytime I go for over a year, so I feel that someone needs to hear.

I got the Green RX smoothie a few weeks ago, there were whole pieces of spinach in the smoothie. Not only that but it had the taste of spinach that wasn't washed and still has dirt on it. I then got the Berry Fresh bowls for my husband and I, Both of us still had whole blueberries in the bowl and the whole thing was very chunky and grainy. We had to throw them away before we could eat the whole thing.

The worst one was today though, they only had one employee working and I felt so bad for her, because she had at least ten bowls to make and delivery drivers were coming, seems like very poor management to me.... I ordered three smoothie bowls, each with very different ingredients. The total came to $40!! It's no wonder people eat fast food much of the time. When I finally got the bowls, they were each only half filled, which is an affront for paying that much for frozen fruit and only getting it half filled. All three of our bowls were chunky and not blended fully. Mine still had spinach chunks and oats. It's like you could see everything that went into the bowl because it wasn't properly blended.

All in all, I will never go here again. And I recommend that you...

Rush Bowls is a quick-serve, order at the counter, meal-on-the-go trendy spot. They serve a variety of all-natural bowls. They do not have a drive up window. Jargon from inside the shop says, “food that help you thrive, whatever you rush might be”. The broad bowl categories are Acai bowls, Enlightened bowls, Comfort bowls, Adventure bowls, Açaí smoothies and Signature smoothies. When I asked about vegetarian and gluten-free entrees options, the staff told me they can make any bowl gluten-free or vegetarian as they have substitutions for the yogurt (dairy) and a GF granola. Not that it’s needed, but I didn’t notice any bowls specifically for kids. The front entrance is a single door and is level with the parking area, they do not have a door opener for those with limited mobility. My bowl, the beach bowl from the Agai category was tasty. I was a bit surprised at how much cold/frozen yogurt it contained. It did go well with the cappuccino I had just picked up next door at Harbinger Coffee (great coffee stop). I found the portion size to be adequate for the price. The staff was very friendly and helpful helping me through my first visit. Seating inside is limited to 3 tables. Pro tip, come by M-F from 7-9am and get your bowl for $5 versus the normal $7.50. Pease hit “like” if this review was...

The bowls are okay, but the service is not. I had an experience today that I wanted to email them about instead of leaving a bad review. This is the second time this has happened to me in Fort Collins (so maybe it's becoming a problem everywhere), but I cannot get to any contact info such as an email address on the website. When you click contact it just takes you to a map and tells you to choose a location, and then nothing. So I feel like some businesses now are practically begging for bad reviews instead, and I take no pleasure in giving them. But a family member of mine has a throat infection, so they requested an açaí bowl since they can't each much else right now. I showed up at the Harmony location around 4:00 and was told that the credit card machine was broken. I told the two employees that I didn't have cash, to which they replied "sorry" and "bye". I later realized that I probably could have ordered online with my card and picked it up. Surely the employees know this too, and have been trained to inform customers before just letting them walk out the door? I ended up having to take my business across town to...
