I am a DoorDash driver, and this was one of the most disrespectful experiences I've had while…read morepicking up an order. When I arrived, the order was not ready and was still being prepared. Since I knew I would be waiting, I politely asked if I could use the restroom. I was told no. I initially assumed there had been a misunderstanding, so I explained that I wasn't a random passerby looking for a public restroom. I was there to pick up an active DoorDash order and would be waiting while they finished preparing it. Unlike employees who have a workplace with designated break areas and restroom access, delivery drivers spend their entire workday on the road. We don't have a home base to return to between orders. Because of that, we often rely on the basic courtesy of restaurants and businesses we partner with while conducting pickups and deliveries. Most businesses understand this and treat drivers respectfully. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. What happened next was what bothered me most. Rather than simply explaining their policy and treating me with basic courtesy, the employees largely stopped engaging with me altogether. They avoided eye contact, ignored my attempts to communicate, and acted as though I wasn't standing there. It was an incredibly dehumanizing experience. After waiting several more minutes, I said, "I could have been done by now." The only response I received was, "It's not for the public." I again explained that I was there for an active pickup and was waiting on an order that still wasn't ready. Once again, I was met with silence. To be clear, I completely understand that businesses located on busy commercial streets cannot allow every random person who walks in off the street to use their restroom. That's not what this situation was. I was there performing a service directly connected to their business. DoorDash drivers are part of the fulfillment process that allows restaurants to participate in DoorDash, reach additional customers, and generate revenue from delivery orders. I wasn't asking for special treatment--just the basic courtesy of using the restroom while waiting on an order that they were still preparing. What makes this even more frustrating is that if the order had been ready when I arrived, I would have already been gone. The only reason I was standing there waiting was because of the restaurant's delay. At that point, I decided to unassign myself from the order, even though it was a high-paying delivery. If a business is unwilling to show basic respect to the drivers helping deliver its orders, then it can find someone else to complete those deliveries. I will also be reporting this experience to DoorDash so they are aware of how drivers are being treated at this location. To fellow Dashers: I strongly encourage you to decline orders from this establishment and spend your time supporting businesses that treat delivery drivers with professionalism and basic human dignity. To potential customers: please consider whether this is the kind of business you want to support. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, including the people helping get your food to your door.

This is a much welcomed option at this airport - prior to this little shop opening for business there just wasn't many early morning beverage options unless you wanted to wait in long lines at the DD coffee shops. The staff here was very friendly, efficient and the products are delicious and refreshing. You'll have to pay up a little compared to like businesses outside the airport which is expected since they have a captive audience and no competition and I assume the retail space rent is ridiculous being there are a very limited number of spaces available.

The vibes are always right from the staff and they're pretty conversational if they have the time. They have a counter towards the window if you can't resist a bite before you head out, but they're pretty much take out. Parking is tough so it's right on Asylum but people tend to just double park and run in. I really like their grilled salmon stir-fry! As a heads up, there's no rice but the broccoli and cauliflower are sautéed well in a sauce that tastes like Cole slaw. The salmon is crispy without the dryness and perfectly seasoned. The rainforest smoothie is a little taste of the tropics with mango, pineapple, and watermelon. The large is more than enough.

My friend got the Nutella Acai Bowl, I wanted the very similar Nutaya Pitaya Bowl. They must've misheard me, because we both got the same Acai bowls. This was ok with me, since they are pretty similar. The Nutella Acai Bowl features cold and refreshing acai, topped with granola, fresh strawberries, banana, coconut and plenty of melty Nutella. This was sweet and delicious, and a very generous portion. We enjoyed our bowls. We will be back to try more.

The base is made of açaí, almond milk, pineapple, mango, banana and blueberries. It was topped with granola, pineapple, banana, coconut and honey. This was so fresh! I could hear the blender running as the girl, blended everything for me. There's no freezer burn here. It was cold, fresh, and so delicious! I also think $11.00 is a great value. I once paid $17 for an açaí bowl on my travels somewhere, the portion was tiny and it was far from fresh.

The place has a gorgeous interior and really fun menu but I'm rocking 1 star bc it could REALLY benefit from some simple sound treatment. t's extremely loud / especially the kids, chairs against the floor and the clanking and clearing dishes. The staff was kinda young and Gen Z emotionless/blank and bored - irritated to be at work but mostly it was super loud - chairs scraping the floors, voices carrying, etc It's a must do out of the airport or if you live close by. I just hope they get the noise under control.

In fact, the space doesn't look much different at all from the way it was laid out under Fosters. Rush Bowls sells two categories of food -$8 Smoothies and $10 Rush Bowls in dozens of variations and permutations. Let's start with their Smoothies. There are seventeen smoothies broken down into four basic categories of Acai, Signature, Rejuvenate, and Juice (Apple or OJ). They have different combinations of fruit (mango, blueberry, peach, banana, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, dragon fruit, coconut, liquids (milks, juices),and an assortment of extras (granola, honey, kale, spinach, granola, acai, peanut butter, whey, frozen yogurt, chocolate sauce, avocado, espresso, and even lemonade). Their twenty juice based Bowls are similar, and you eat them with a spoon instead of a straw. My wife ordered the PB Crunch Smoothie with Banana, Peanut Butter, Granola, Milk and Froyo. I had a sip and loved its distinctive peanut flavor. I went with a Dragon Bowl of Dragon fruit, Banana, Strawberry, Blueberry, Coconut Milk, Apple Juice, chocolate sauce, and three toppers - Granola, Honey and Almonds. I liked it a lot, it had great flavor and plenty of crunch from the granola and almonds. We chatted with the two young ladies who were preparing our order and learned the store had only been open for a few weeks. Apparently, they are busiest lunch time when the locals come in for a quick to go order. My Bowl was pretty filling, so I definitely saw how it is becoming popular as a lunch option.
