Banana Queen — Restaurant in New York

Truly the best and most delicious smoothies anywhere!!! Recently, it has become more important than ever to give boosts to our immune systems with natural foods full of vitamins. Banana Queen offers a nutritious, healthy, and above all delicious way to do so. There are citrus fruits, for vitamin C, bananas for potassium, vegetables for vitamin A, nuts for magnesium and vitamin E, ginger and turmeric which decrease inflammation, and berries which are full of antioxidants. Also, the owner, Fotis, goes above and beyond to make sure that the fruits, vegetables, and other products he serves daily are always fresh, and that the shop is absolutely as clean as possible. His shop consistently gets an “A” rating during inspections. Also, he is very polite, and greets everyone with his welcoming smile. I am so exited to try the new fresh pressed juices. I definitely recommend Banana Queen to everyone! The five stars rating that I left is honestly...

IF I COULD GIVE THIS COMPANY ZERO STARS I WOULD. THE OWNER OF THIS STORE IS A TALL HISPANIC GUY, I'M NOT SURE OF HIS NAME BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T PROVIDE IT. I'M SURE HE WAS AWARE THAT I WOULD REPORT HIS COMPANY. LET ME START OFF BY SAYING HIS CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS ARE NOT UP THERE AND HE IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I CAME INTO THE SHOP AND ASKED FOR A SMALL SMOOTHIE WHICH IS $3 AND I ALSO WANTED A CHESSE PATELEO WHICH IS $1. I ASKED HIM WAS THE PATELEOS FRESH AND HE STARED AT ME AND SARCASTICALLY SAID NO THEY WERE SITTING THERE FOR A MONTH, THEN TOLD ME I COME THERE EVERYDAY AND I KNOW THAT THE PATAELEOS ARE $1. I TOLD HIM I KNOW THE PRICE AND THAT I WAS ASKING ABOUT THE FRESHNESS OF THE FOOD BECAUSE PREVIOUS I PURCHASED A PATELEO AND IT WAS A BIT STALE (NOT FRESH). HE THEN GOT OFFENDED AND TOLD ME TO HAVE A NICE DAY AND DIDN'T BOTHER TO SELL ME THE SMOOTHIE AND PATELEO. I WILL NO LONGER BE GOING TO THIS PLACE OF BUSINESS BECAUSE OF POOR...

I’ve been coming here for years and usually spend $50+ every visit. The staff has always treated me well and made my smoothies right—until I had to deal with the so-called owner. The last two times I came in, he was extremely rude and unprofessional.

The first smoothie he made for me was hot, and when I asked him to add ice, he rolled his eyes and acted annoyed instead of just fixing it. The next time, it was the same thing—huffing, puffing, and giving me attitude when I asked for the ingredients I always get. He sat on his phone, acted irritated the whole time, and finally told me, “I’m the owner, I don’t care if you don’t like it.” He even told me he doesn’t care if I’m a loyal customer.

That told me everything I needed to know. I left the smoothies on the counter and walked out. I used to come here regularly and spend good money, but I will never come back as long as that’s how the “owner” treats...
