Nekter Juice Bar — Restaurant in Phoenix

We are frequent visit to the Nektar in tempe marketplace so we were excited to see one up here. Our excitement quickly turned to mass disappointment. the parking lot is horrendous with the driver thru Starbucks next to it. The front desk woman was rude and cold on our Sunday 10 am visit 3/28.

I went back to the counter to ask for agave to be added ( never had to ask before and it would just be included ) and no staff was around. The girl who had made the bowl was next door at Starbucks. The other young employee who was in the back could see me waiting, finally came out, and after expressing my concerns, did not seem to care whatsoever. Oh well. It was good...
