My group ordered a bunch of pizzas as well as cheesy bread. The cheesy bread was okay - my main gripe with it was that the sauce it came with wasn't very good (oddly it didn't taste like the sauce on the pizza, but I'm not sure if maybe having it in the pizza oven does something to change the flavor?) nor was it a sufficient amount for the size of the cheesy bread. For pizzas, we got the white pie (which really, in my opinion, should be called an artichoke pie but that's neither this nor that), the barbecue chicken, and two margherita pies (one round, one square deep dish). Of the ones we ordered, the two standouts were by far the deep dish margherita and the barbecue chicken. The former had an absolutely perfect crust and plenty of sauce to balance out the breadiness, and the latter had its sweetness nicely balanced with the tang and subtle spice of the peppadew peppers. The crust had a nice char but wasn't too crispy. Overall, I was pretty impressed with this place - I would be interested in going back in person at some point and trying more of the menu.

I asked when they were made and to my complete surprise she told me 5 days prior. Well, now I know why they looked so undesirable. I asked if it's possible to get a freshly made juice. The reply was no, we only juice every 5 days. At an inflated price of $13 per juice I find it hard to believe 5 days (for a fresh pressed juice) is the best they can do. Typically juice bars are made to order. Even when ordering plain celery juice. I did give 2 stars because I like their granola bowls, but unfortunately not enough to fully satisfy me. I make celery juice almost daily at home and would never dream of drinking one 5 days old!!!

Awesome place to grab a fresh cold drink. The ladies working there are always upbeat even though they seem to be running nonstop. Quick service! Great with allergies, I never have to worry with them. Perhaps if people stopped running up to grab a smoothie just because it's similar to what they order they wouldn't end up with the wrong smoothie every time. If you get the wrong smoothie more than likely your impatient bum stole a smoothie that belong to someone else. read more

They have some newer seating arrangements that looked very modern and the inside looked very clean. They employees were so sweet and the drinks were made very promptly. They had a good selection of baked goods on display as well. An employee, who was clocked out and leaving her shift, even made an effort to hold the door open for us as we left. That really just shows the politeness and quality employees here which was beautiful to see. The Mango Blood Orange Crème Freeze was DELICIOUS, and I would highly recommend to anyone who likes mangos It was $7 for a 20oz though which did take me by surprise. The Sweet Foam Caramel Cold Brew was a underwhelming as I didn't taste much caramel as I have from other locations but I wouldn't call it bad. It's my go-to drink for a creamy drink with some caffeine that's not too sweet!

It was mostly a liquid consistency with no thick smoothie body to it, and tasted mostly of milk with a slight hint of peanut butter. Not only that, but I also received a short pour as the smoothie was at least two inches from top of the cup. Very disappointing since my order before this, a Daily Warrior, was made with similar recipe inconsistencies. Since this was the second time, I felt compelled to write a review and hope management can make the necessary improvements. I love Smoothie King smoothies, but incorrectly making two orders in a row (two different weeks in May) to the point where I couldn't even finish them is very disappointing - especially when you factor in how much these smoothies cost after enhancers. I will be reluctant to try this location again.

New Mexican restaurant (to me) with popular Mexican dishes…read more To begin, they don't have much room to dine in but they make great use of the space as it still feels open and welcoming. The menu appears to be small, but that's one of its strengths. By keeping the menu small, they focus on what they do well while being a little creative with other menu items. They do well in not replicating what other Mexican restaurants in the area are doing but also having some of the staples in typical Mexican cuisine. I tried the birria taco and the queso birria... and I enjoyed their take on it. Instead of corn tortillas, they used flour and they used a different type of cheese that I wasn't used to. However, the meat itself was absolutely delicious. I also had one of their tortas with Al pastor. It's a little different than what I'm used to, but it comes close because the sauce they use to marinate it was savory while not being too spicy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they didn't take too long with my order. Overall, I had a m enjoyable experience at Sabor and I looked forward to see them grow.
