    Lady who refused my service. Guy was hiding.

    They close before store hours say they are supposed to close. Drove a good distance just to be turned around 7 minutes before they are supposed to be closed, stating that they are in fact closed. Unacceptable service. A chunky mixed lady and a mixed guy with a beard, closed the store down before they were supposed to be closed and would not serve me.

    First time at this establishment. I ordered.Avocolada smoothie and a Baja Chicken Wrap with Mexican Corn as my side. It was very good. Restaurant was not crowded at all. Several people came in with orders to go.

    Dirty / Poor Customer Service

    Came here today and the place was filthy. One of the workers(brown shirt) spent almost 5 minutes on her phone texting without helping her co-worker out. The woman that actually did the work was sweet and nice and that's why I give it two stars. It took over 20 minutes to get 2 smoothies and a wrap. Update: There is a 3rd worker who came up to help 15 minutes into a rush, she was on her phone while taking customers orders. The lady in the brown sweater continued to get on her phone and was handling food with no gloves and enjoyed a 3 minute phone call on her phone while preparing food.

    This is a busy place for lunch on a Friday! It was a little chaotic, but the employees were doing their best to keep up. I ordered the Thai chicken wrap and the kale and apple slaw as a side. Overall, the food was pretty good for a quick lunch. Good variety of healthy options. I visit every so often for a nice bite to eat.

    Shockingly the smoothie was made perfect and good and not nearly as much ice as in the past visits. I decided to go here because I got an email for the 2.99 immune booster smoothies. Since it was a nice day out I ordered offline and went inside to pick it up. It was good and all the flavors of the fruit was well blended.

    I didn't rate this because I've had a different experience at 2 different locations. The Capital Blvd location by the Triangle Towne center always make delicious flavorful smoothies, I always pay for extra banana and peanut butter in my Chia banana boost and it's delicious. Today I went to the location on Wake Forest road right off of the I440 freeway and I was very disappointed with my smoothie it had barely any taste even after paying for extra banana and peanut butter as I usually do. I won't visit that location agaìn.

They were doing everything right, even down to the Dr Brown's, and they had ZERO flavors too. There is a meat and cheese counter,r but most of the length of the shop is pastries, cakes, pies, es and other beautiful-looking treats. We ordered our sandwiches; I had an Italian sub, and it was just ok, kind of dry and lacking in flavor; frankly, Jersey Mike's makes a better Italian. But my wife got theReubenn, and it was simply the best Reuben we've had outside of Katz in NYC. I order Rueben's all the time, and I'm consistently disappointed. Most are dried out, have too little meat, and the corned beef is often dry, but not in this case. The sandwich was truly worthy, and we are ready to go back and have it again. Moist, flavorful meat, a generous portion, and the dressing andkraut weres well balanced. The bread was grilled, not toasted, and was itself rich and flavorful. Altogether, it is a Reuben worth driving a distance to have it. We are already planning to come back and try some of the baked goods, but also get the Reuben again too.

    First, the positives... Service and friendliness couldn't be nicer! Wonderful people who seem to…read morecare about taking care of the customer. Prices seem fair. Cleanliness is good. Nice selection of menu items, and breakfast items are available all day. Unfortunately, these are offset by impressions of the food after two visits. Just not up to snuff. On the first visit, the Chicago dog was sub-par, but that was my partner's order and I don't remember the details. I just remember she said she wouldn't order it again. On today's visit, I ordered a meatball parm sandwich. It was cloyingly sweet - both the meatballs and the tomato sauce were unappetizing, and I could only manage to stand eating a bit of it. My partner ordered a side of corned beef hash. It turned up in a little paper tray with some dry shredded corned beef sprinkled on top of some home fry potatoes - just basic cubed potatoes and some beef shreds on top. That's it. It didn't feel like any corned beef hash we had ever seen. And we paid extra for a fried egg that didn't make it onto the dish. Of course when we pointed this out, it was quickly cooked up separately and brought to the table, so no problems again with the service or resolving the issue. Also be warned that Thursday nights from 6-8pm they run a music trivia game that blasts music loudly throughout the large dining space, completely surrounded by reflective surfaces. It was so loud and obnoxious that it made conversation impossible and drove us outside. I wish I could report a better experience. We need more quality delis around here!
