I enjoyed my açaí bowl! It was very fresh and sweet. The only downside to my experience was the…read morecustomer service. The cashier was not very kind and rolled her eyes when I asked her to repeat herself (I couldn't hear through the mask and plexiglass). I work in customer service, so I always make it a point to be VERY kind to the workers--especially women, who are taught to be apologetic! However, it was a challenge when she also told me they weren't making milkshakes that day. She said, "No. We're not doing those," and proceeded to roll her eyes again. It's not about what you say--it's about HOW you say it. Additionally, the service took a long time. I felt really bad for the cashier because she was the only one working, which meant my order took about 20 minutes to make. She was balancing two other transactions as well... I remained patient but left feeling a little disrespected. I completely understand the pain & stress of being in customer service, but you shouldn't take it out on others. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but I was hurt by her demeanor (I felt like I had to apologize just for being there). Anyways, the bowl was yummy and filling, so it boosted my mood immediately. I got the U-N-I-T-Y bowl and ate it outside. Very refreshing! I also got a banana smoothie. It was pretty bland, but luckily I was full from the açaí bowl. I would come here again. Now that I know the vibe, it's no big deal!

I hit up Sunberry's yesterday for lunch and it was a pleasant surprise. Located on Pratt Street, I…read morewas here on business and it was a slow day. I decided to sit outside by myself, which was delightful because of the nice weather. The service was attentive without being overbearing and gave good advice on my order, which was delivered extremely promptly. I ordered the king chicken sandwich, which was a version of lightly pulled chicken BLT on a nice bun. I got the sweet potato fries. The sandwich was very tasty, easy to eat, and just the right size. It was a good order for the price. The chicken was fresh, the bacon was crispy, and the entire taste was quite fine. The sweet potato fries did not disappoint and were a great accompaniment. I assume this place is a lot of fun at night when there's an event at the local arena, but today was a retreat from a really busy travel schedule with a delicious lunch well served by kind folks.

I hadn't been to Sunberry in more years than I can remember until a recent work meeting booked us…read morefor dinner there. I was skeptical - the Sunberry I remember was not entirely appropriate for a seat-down meal for 30+ people, but I went along for the ride. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw that it was completely different, to the point where I had to check old Yelp reviews to confirm this was the same place I was thinking of! We ordered just about everything on the menu and while it was all good, nothing was great. It would be a solidly reliable lunch spot if I worked in the area but it was not the best choice for a work dinner - it got very loud and very crowded, making it hard to share apps around the tables. Definitely a well-deserved glow-up for this spot.

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.

(Straight Lines) Sweetwater Salad Bar made a bad experience "good" today when they pivoted and made a great customer service decision. They have a deep menu with all sorts of customizable Smoothies, three kinds of toasts, and Wraps. We went for lunch today and decided on a "to go" order of their Avocado Toast. We paid our $5.84 and waited for the order to be assembled. After a few minutes, a manager approached us to say they couldn't make the avocado toast because they had run out of bread. Now... since you can't really make an Avocado Toast, Peanut Butter Banana Toast, or Hummus Toast without toast, and you can't really make toast without bread, we understood why they couldn't give us the order we had already paid for. But they made things right by offering us something else, so we opted for a chicken quesadilla which we received for no additional charge. The quesadilla was good with a nice mix of chicken and cheese. IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES Obviously, inventory management comes to mind, and if they run out of bread, that information should be conveyed to the entire staff so everyone is on the same page about what is and is not available, what can and cannot be made, and what should and should not be paid for.

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.
