    PB PROTEIN CRUNCH
    Eunice K.

    I ordered the PB protein crunch, and it was alright. It's pretty heavy possibly bc of the peanut butter, so I wasn't able to finish it as a meal. It tastes good, but I could only taste the peanut butter and bananas after mixing everything together. There were only 2 employees working, and there were a lot of orders bc of a T Mobile deal, so I had to wait a bit but not for long. It's a pretty spacious area with a lot of counter seatings, and it's clean too! The door was kept opened, but flies did come in and were flying around.

    We used to get their fruit smoothies often but had not been here for years since we've been on a health kick. Last Saturday, we stopped by after spending the whole day outdoors and were seriously thirsty. This location is hidden at The Triangle on 47th St. There was not a single customer when we walked in, maybe that's why they didn't turn on the lights in the back so it was a bit dark and not super inviting. Also, it seemed they might get a lot of deliveries at this location since the first question we were asked when we walked in was if we were there for delivery pick-up. There are plenty of seats inside and their gender neutral bathroom was nice and clean. We ordered their "Blimey Limey" and "Mango Magic". We used to love their Blimey Limey as it was so delicious with a bit of tang - or so we thought back then. However, this time it was good, but it was really really sweet for our liking. Their mango magic would have been better if they had used very ripe mango. The unripe mango contributed a starchy flavor to the smoothie which was not super tasty. For most people, I think they will really like this place, we have just gotten used to making our own smoothies at home (which fit our pallet to a tee); so nothing against them at all--still a solid place for some on the go refreshment.

    Chicken pesto flatbread
    Mariel T.

    This used to be a staple for me in college, but maybe that was just the proximity at the time? I got a chicken pesto flatbread today, which comes with your choice of chips/banana or you can upgrade to a healthier side. Was my mind blown? No, but the workers were so so kind and helpful - 3 stars

The area is quite small but I went at 10:30 on a Tuesday and it wasn't too crowded. The front parking is horrid but there's also parking in the back. I tried the turkish eggs and the mortadella sandwich. We wanted to try the cookie as well but they unfortunately had sold out because of a large order before us. Very sad but maybe another time. Turkish eggs: 3.5/5 The eggs were perfectly cooked and the chili oil had nice garlic flavor. The bread was lovely quality. The sauce wasn't my favorite and I don't think it paired well together but it wasn't bad. Mortadella sandwich: 4.5/5 This was the star of the show. The bread is great and the pesto brightens the sandwich up. The arugula is a nice touch and the cheese is delicate. There's a ton of meat which I appreciated. There's one guy with a mustache who might have just been having a bad day but his energy was off putting, however all the other people were very nice.

Last week I was on a break from keto, and my husband read my mind. He took me here as the first stop on a rainy Friday night date. I know they have good sandwiches, but they also have their "bait shop" schtick. They're not near any significant fishing spots, and I didn't see any evidence of bait, but whatever. Their sandwiches are good, so they can get away with it. While I ate my sandwich on the patio, we discussed the novelty nature of many Austin businesses, and which ones can hold up and which ones are pure hype. I ordered the Club sandwich. It's not a true triple-decker club, but it was the sandwich that had the best variety of fillings in my opinion. Everything you'd expect in a classic club, but easier to eat because it wasn't stacked absurdly tall like other clubs. The sourdough bread was very crispy, and the meats, cheese, and vegetables worked well inside. On the side I got potato salad which I like more than their other option, which was chips, but the potato salad wasn't anything special. Their patio was the perfect spot to enjoy a rainstorm. They have some glider chairs off to the side that are good for lounging on, but when it really started to rain we moved in to the center of the patio. I'm glad I got a chance to try Handsome Dan's. I doubt I'll be back anytime soon because huge sandwiches like this need to be an occasional treat for me, but if you're in the Springdale area looking for a satisfying meal, this is it!

    OVERVIEW: I tried to pick up my online order from Mum Foods, but turns out someone stole my order…read more Bummer, but whatever - this is something that's usually an easy fix. We're human - shit happens, and mistakes are inevitable. But it's how people react that speaks volumes. **What surprised me was how unnecessarily rude the Mum employee was about it.** Orders are left on Mum's counter for DoorDash, Toast, Grubhub, and Seamless customers and delivery drivers to grab without a Mum employee checking order confirmation emails. If someone steals another customer's order, the *normal* response is to confirm I'm really the person who placed the order, then say "Oh sorry about that, looks like someone else took your order. We'll get you squared away with a replacement ASAP. In the meanwhile, could you please contact DoorDash to let them know?" ISSUE: Instead, the employee expediting orders was crazy defensive and rude about a situation that was no way my fault. TIMELINE: - I placed a pick up order via DoorDash at 12pm. I arrived at Mum's pickup area at 12:15pm. - When I tell the employee expediting orders my name, he says "Yeah, it was already picked up," and walks away. - When he returns, I explain I'm the person who placed the order, but I didn't pick it up. - The man says, "Like I SAID, it was already picked up," so I hold up the email on my phone, and say "I can prove I placed the order, but I don't have my food." - He replies, "Yeah, the order was sitting there for a long time. Someone already picked it up." - I tell him "I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this information. I paid for my order, but I don't have any food," and he tells me I need to contact DoorDash. - I tell him "I'll contact DoorDash, but they can only give me a refund. I'd like my food?" Only then does he tells the staff to get me a new order and tells me "LOOK, we're getting you your food." UPDATE: Mum Foods Management replied with a bizarre comment. Mum claimed I was 90 minutes late picking up my order, saying I picked up my order at 2pm. - So which is it? Someone stole my order OR was I too late picking it up? - Their rebuttal may explain why the employee felt justified in being so rude - he incorrectly thought I was late picking up my order. Either way, there's no reason to be rude. - I was NOT 90 minutes late (I have Ring footage of leaving my house at 12:10pm for Mum Foods and returning home at 12:37pm with my order in hand), but Mum's argument is moot either way. If I were hours late, the order should still be there for pick up because the business is supposed to check names. "A 1 star review really hurts a local business like us and I hope you reconsider" - If you don't want a 1 star review, respond with a sincere apology, and don't be rude to customers or lie in your response. "For what its worth we prepared your food twice and obviously lose money in a situation like that" - If you don't want to lose money by preparing an order twice, you should confirm names when people pick up orders.
