Many business owners think about their products and services from the perspective of a provider or…read morevendor. Not the customer. Here's some advice: Walk through your business the way a customer would. How do they enter your space or navigate your website? How easily can they identify what they need? How smoothly is their order fulfilled? Where are the natural opportunities to upsell or add value? What does the payment experience feel like? Every step shapes their perception of your brand. If customers sense high effort, confusion, or indifference from staff, they will look elsewhere. Of the four customers I saw during the visit to your location: 1) the first one was frustrated because the ingredients advertised weren't available, so instead of being guided to an alternative she had to make that choice, 2) The second customer was frustrated because there was only one person working, and while this individual was making his order, the soul worker did not acknowledge any of the other customers, so he was frustrated when the customers pulled his attention away from crafting his order, leaving him with a negative experience, 3) the third. Customer was clearly frustrated because she was purchasing premade juices, but still had to wait an under amount of time before even being acknowledged by staff, 4) the fourth customer (myself) after waiting in line and have to ask a new employee who just came on shift if I could be helped was immediately informed by the staff regarding what they were out of and what they didn't have. Here's a tip: Instead of delivering a flat "we're out," train your team to offer alternatives that keep the experience positive. If you're out of vanilla on a hot day, guide the customer toward other refreshing options. They came to you to solve a problem--thirst, hunger, comfort--and your job is to preserve that momentum. When your marketing has already done the work of getting someone to your door or onto your site, honor that investment. Even if you can't provide the exact product they wanted, create a smooth transition so you don't lose the sale, the relationship, or the goodwill. Your brand, values, and reputation are being formed in real time. Inconsistency, poor service, indifference, or discourtesy can undermine your business before it gains traction. A customer‑centered process is your competitive advantage. For customers who are trying to support your business, especially as a black owned business, you are making it hard for customers to give you their money. Please fix this.

I love this place! It's small but cozy and the beautiful pictures on the wall of icons (ie Michele…read moreObama and Tupac) game it a nice vibe. I only ordered beverages but loved both of them. The dirty chai was the best I've ever tasted! Gold Star 100% top notch winner winner tea for dinner!!! I also got the Monkey Business cold frappe. It is a perfect blend of bananas, vanilla and cinnamon. Not as good as the dirty chai but still excellent in its own right! I left very impressed and wanting more.

"It's not just Medusa that I have to fear," Diana of the Wild Isle, Daughter of Circe, and the Last…read moreof the Amazons, reminds herself as she steps confidently towards danger in Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis's Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1 (2026). "First, it will be her sisters. Stheno and Euryale. Gorgons...'Dread monsters' in the oldest texts....And yet, they have stayed by their sister's side, even though a glance from her would turn them into stone. That is love," Diana realizes, even as she contemplates that, soon, the misty cave floor under her feet will be beset with violence, meted out by Medusa's sisters, before Diana even gets a chance to explain that she is trespassing in the hopes of obtaining for Medusa the ultimate form of social justice: permanent chances for her to "look other soul[s] in the eyes...and be seen." The Black female ownership, the management, and the staff at Love Life Cafe, a snug coffee house nestled at 929 Washington Blvd in Laurel, Maryland, are fully aware how being seen is intertwined with social justice, kindness, and customer service. Black artists' drawings and paintings, some of which are for sale, adorn the walls, including "Wakanda Forever," featuring Chadwick Boseman, whom the world heartbreakingly lost too soon to cancer; "Say Their Names: Black Lives Matter," featuring Sandra Bland; whom her communities bitterly lost to police brutality; and, in a hope-filled change of pace, "Looking Up at Greatness," depicting two-year-old Parker Curry's recognition and wonder at seeing Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery in March of 2018. So far, my wife has enjoyed a life-sized latte with extra hot cardamom oat milk; a life-sized cafe au Lait with the same; an açaí bowl, minus the honey and adding kiwi, pineapple, and mango; and a life-sized Hollaback Girl latte. Meanwhile, I was thrilled to devour a banana, cinnamon, and vanilla frappe appropriately dubbed "Monkey Business."

The prices are good for the quality of smoothies that you get, out of all of my favorite smoothie spots. I would say this one is the best, you can customize your drinks. The customer service is good. the place is really clean, and there's a really cool vibe about it, like there's a swinging chair that you can literally sit on and just like chilling and it's never really crowded. I would highly recommend coming in here if you want to try something besides smoothie king that is also really good for you with natural ingredients. The owner is very proud of her store and everybody there seems happy which makes me really happy too.

My son's milk soft has allergies to peanut which is on a lot of their menu items. They do a good job at directing you to available items and telling you how things are prepared in case of cross contamination. I also took him on this particular day to get a smoothie after getting his tonsils removed. They were very kind to cater to his every need with the order.

There's minimal parking in their lot, which I believe they share with a little corner store off Main Street in Laurel. Luckily, I was able to find a spot nearby on one of the side streets. When I entered, I was greeted right away and given a menu. Since I explained that it was my first time, they gave me an overview of what they offered, which I appreciated. I decided to try the vegan chocolate ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies. It was SO delicious! Honestly, I couldn't even tell it was vegan as far as taste. There is a small amount of outdoor seating, and since people were already outside enjoying their treats, I decided to enjoy mine in my car. And I didn't make a mess! Gooo ME! I'll definitely be back to try some of their other offerings. They have a variety of flavors and different pastries, so there's plenty more for me to try!

With a variety of drinks from hot to cold; to food options. I couldn't decide what to get because a lot sounded enticing. I ended up getting a cappuccino so I can get some latte art and a grilled cheese. I got toasted marshmallow flavor for my cappuccino. It had a dainty heart and nicely made flavor wise. It came in a real mug since it was a cappuccino. If you get a cold drink, it comes in a disposable cup. For food I decided to try the jalapeño bacon grilled cheese. It was tasty. The jalapeños were not spicy at all which was what I was looking for. It had the right amount for flavor added to the melted cheese and bacon. Toasted at a level you get a crunch in every bite. I was asked if I'd like a pickle on the side; yes please. That was a nice little ask that I wasn't expecting. Overall, service, food and drink were good. There is free parking in the parking lot. I'll be back to try more specialty drinks.
