I used to love the classic aƧaĆ bowls here. The aƧaĆ was refreshing with just a touch of sweetness and the bowls were full of fresh fruit for the perfect balance. I would get them once or twice a week. A couple months ago I got my usual and was surprised to find the aƧaĆ so sugary sweet and artificial tasting (all sugar and vanilla) that I figured someone new must have messed up the recipe. It was so sweet and fake tasting that it was mostly inedible to me and I threw everything away except the fruit on top (which was fortunately still plentiful). The experience put a pause on my regular visits but I was craving one last week so ordered a 24 oz classic aƧaĆ bowl. Unfortunately, the aƧaĆ was a repeat of the overly artificial sweet tasting mix from the last time but, to make it worse, the amount of fresh fruit included was laughable. In a 24 oz bowl (the large size) I was given 4 thin slices of banana, 4 thin slices of strawberry (which did not equal even one whole strawberry) and 6 blueberries. Yep, I counted. I donāt know if they just have inexperienced staff, changed their recipe or are just cutting corners to cut costs but NOPE, not for me anymore. Iām on the hunt for a new place for my aƧaĆ bowls from now on. Very...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIāve been wanting to try this place even before they opened! Conveniently located šin the same plaza as my neighborhood Smithās, and right next to the Smithās gas station ā½ļø. My very first smoothie I had to choose from the āHealthy Greenā category because it was my breakfast for that morning! Heard so many good things about āIron Strongā: fresh limes, spinachš„¬, peach š juice, pineapplesš, peaches š, and mangoes š„. It really surprised me how good it was, especially with the line giving you a bit of a wake up š³kick in the morning - this was a fantastic smoothieā¼ļøWe also had the chance to try āOcean Breezeā which the kids really liked. The interior was pleasant, clean, inviting, and comfy. Customer service was quite pleasant - each person I dealt with had a smile on their face and had really perky tones and voices when they were telling me about their smoothies. The prices are a bit higher than Iād like to pay for a smoothie ($5.51 for a 16 ounce), but maybe itās because Iām paying for quality...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreActually very tasty and love their bowls; came back for my second time this weekend and the cashier refused to take our order saying that they closed in 5 minutes but they actually closed in 12 minutes. Iāve worked fast food and I get not wanting to clean everything 2 minutes before close but cmon; donāt lie there was plenty of time to serve us. He was just a lazy teenager along with the two others on shift. Great thing Handelās ice cream is open and workers are friendly and want our business. That was a 60$ order they turned away!
Edit: and before I get the excuse that there were staff shortages today; there were 3 employees inside just standing around talking around the counter arms folded not cleaning not doing anything.
Edit 2: manager got back to us by email and resolved it. Satisfactory response and I will continue to visit...
