When we approached the window, one boy took our order and never started it. Keep in mind at this point it's been about 20 minutes. Next, another boy came up and asked us like 4 times what we ordered (açaí cocoa haze), and kept insisting on giving us a different order. They also tried charging us twice. Clearly they had no idea what the fuck was going on. At this point I've been in line for like 35 minutes, so I got out of my car and went inside. They tried to give me THE SAME WRONG BOWL again. I asked multiple times for a refund and they were handling that poorly too. They also completely ignored giving me any kind of reimbursement or even acknowledging the inconvenience, which was ridiculous. I still had to wait even longer just to get the correct order. I don't know what was going on with them, but the whole thing was ridiculous. And to top it off, another guy was there waiting too and they had also messed his order up.

I love eating at this facility! They have a drink called the blue banana with blue spirulina (I…read moreprobably spelled that wrong), but you get it. 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.

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 was craving a smoothie on a warm day in April when we were walking back to Hampden from the 32nd…read moreStreet Farmers Market, and so we stopped in at Pure Green. I had ordered from them via DoorDash before, so I knew I liked their smoothies, but I had never been in person to this location. I got a smoothie (Purple Haze), which I loved. The service was really friendly, and the space is comfortable and cute (some seats at the window bar if you want to enjoy your smoothie there). All in all, very cute. I'm sure I'll be back!

Bae and I stopped by here after a doctor's visit. We were greeted immediately upon entry and offered smoothie samples by the register. Although I'm not a coffee drinker, I surprisingly liked the mocha cold brew. My boyfriend ordered the Pure Green, recommended by the cashier. He doesn't usually enjoy many healthy options, but he surprisingly enjoyed his smoothie. Shortly after tasting it, he decided to order the hazelnut butter toast, which he devoured halfway down the street--definitely a testament to its quality. We had the pleasure of meeting the store owner, Daye, who was very personable. She asked how we found the location, and of course, we mentioned Yelp. She informed us about another location in Ellicott City. It's great to know this place is both women-owned and Black-owned.

Coincidentally, I will be going to the Playa Bowls in Burtonsville today for lunch! I love Playa…read moreBowls (see my 5-star review of the Burtonsville one). That's the only location within 10 miles of my home. The only other location of Playa Bowls I've been to was the Baltimore County one by Quarry Lake. Yesterday, I reviewed the out of town P pick in 2025 alphabet series. Representing the runner up to the out of town pick, P is for Playa Bowls. I visited this location on Friday, December 26. I had a deal for a free peppermint iced coffee with bowl purchase. I had visited my parents in PA for Christmas and was coming back into town. I saw this location wasn't too far off 695. I had never been to Quarry Lake and is a nice area. I was here for one of those weird very late lunch around 4 PM, but I wanted the deal and the timing was right. It was pretty dead around here as it was the day after Christmas. I parked in a parallel spot right in the front; they also have a parking lot in the back. Staff was nice. I paid for some strawberry bowl with peppermint to get the free seasonal iced coffee. They didn't have any issue getting the deal to work. I waited at one of their seats near the food station. This location is a lot bigger than the Burtonsville one. They made the bowl first, and then they said we're out of the flavoring for the coffee, so it'd just be a black coffee. I said that wasn't the same as what I wanted or paid for. They apologized saying that their shipments come in on Thursday, but it was Christmas so shipments didn't come. So, it made sense why they were out. But I think perhaps they could've been more prepared and gotten extra shipment on Thursday, 12/18. They did say I could switch out for a smoothie. I said I don't want a smoothie, I'm already having this fruity bowl. He said I could pick any drink I wanted. I got some juice cleanse drink that was normally $8.99. I figured that could be good for me plus I wanted to ideally get their most expensive tier drink in lieu of not getting the iced coffee. The bowl was delicious per normal. Fresh strawberries, banana, granola, chocolate, peppermint, etc. all great. As for the juice drink, it was some cayenne fruit juice. It was kind of weird, had a bit of a kick, not my cup of tea. I drank it, but really would've liked the iced coffee better. Thankfully, I had some water in the car to wash down the strange juice. So, I was kind of annoyed. They should've known and warned me before I paid. I'm not sure I would've gone with Playa Bowl if they had been out of the coffee; that the catalyst to go down there was the free iced coffee deal. In spite of that negative, like Burtonsville location, the bowls are great, staff is nice, and they did try to accommodate with free any drink.

The male and 2 others went to the prep area. I ordered 2 pacific bowls with modifications. While ordering I saw a cut up banana that started turning brown and cut up strawberries on the prep area that should be thrown away. It appeared they were going to use them in my bowls. I had to quickly let them know not use them on my bowls. When I did that, the young man had a silent attitude shown by body movement. The bowls came up quickly and correct. I would say stay alert with this location

There was also a bit of a wait today. Only 1 person was working (taking orders in the front and preparing them in the back). One customer came in and ended up leaving without ordering because nobody was at the register. Another lady came in saying she called a few times with no answer, and then still had to wait to order because the gentleman working was in the back. I usually call ahead, but either way, it's a small business with quality items, so extend some grace.

I also noticed they have a huge selection of Italian ice, including some served in an actual watermelon bowl, which looked so fun and perfect for the summer.
