Hydrate — Restaurant in Georgetown

The new addition is really nice. However, the lady working there with curly red hair was difficult to even listen to her talk. She continuously highlighted how bad it was in there, in terms of how busy it was, and that she was all alone to all of the customers which was more aggravating than her just Being more polite and making all of our stuff. She proceeded to also tell us all how customer got mad the other day when he had to wait for his order and just walked out, she spent more time complaining than actually doing anything. Then the young kid, who apparently she decided to tell everyone was who showed up 10 minutes early and she was already on him the second he showed up about hurrying up to help her. And he was like why do you think I’m here early. Trying to be nice and she was on him about how he wasn’t early enough. Definitely why young people quit jobs is because old people act like us showing up early is never good enough. He proceeded to try to be as helpful as he could, and she just ripped into him micromanaging everything he was doing to the point of condescending in my opinion. The cherry on top of the cake was that when she gave me my two drinks to leave, I was already holding my sandwich, and I also had in my hand, my phone under the sandwich, and she tried to take my sandwich and phone for me and force me to put it on a drink tray that she handed me and I was like I got it thank you and she was like OK well, you could just put it here, but whatever and then walked away.she definitely seems like a control freak and definitely seems overwhelmed whenever it’s busy in there. I don’t mind waiting for my stuff that’s fine but dealing with her...

This review is primarily asking to please open the one on the Square earlier. When I come to this location and I see the older lady with the curly red hair working I immediately get anxiety and want to turn around and leave. She’s really good at complaining and berating the younger employees in front of customers. One day I was picking up an order and she started telling the young staff that she texted Sarah already and went off on the young man regarding a cutting board, it seems she was picking on him WHILE customers are there! She then asked the lady behind me what she would like to order, and the Lady commented “I don’t know, I feel stressed out now!” And I replied with “Right? I’m leaving with anxiety I didn’t have before I arrived.” And that’s when the manager replied with OK let’s not yell over these loud machines. And I wanted to say, it’s not the machines. I really want to come in for a smoothie today, but I really want to avoid the person that works there as this will set the tone for the rest of my day. I hope an adjustment to staff will be made soon or the location on the square will open earlier. This incident took place June 28th...

This juice and smoothie bar is awesome. I am a huge fan of smoothies and try them at a variety of places wherever I travel. Hydrate makes the best smoothies I have had to date. Unlike so many places, they do not use a mix, add corn syrup or even sugar as if fruit is not sweet and full of enough calories already, trouble my lactose sensitivity with yogurt or a dairy-based powder, hurt my teeth with chunks of ice, or water down my delight by adding too much water. So just how do they do it? They use frozen fresh fruit (and veggies) captured at the perfect ripeness... pure logic no one else seems to grasp. The menu includes a variety of combos they suggest but you can concoct your own as well. To top it off, they also serve delectable Boar's Head sandwiches and have a small but meaningful variety of some of the best healthy snacks around. I can't get enough of this place. Note: the smoothies may seem pricey but they will fill you up and are packed with nothing but nutrition, the counter bar is a comfy little place to sit for one or a few, and this place seems to keep a steady flow of customers but does not...
