It's always super busy especially if it's nice out but they are speedy! If you can't decide what you want you could ask them for a sample to taste. They usually offer a sugar free option that's delicious and that's usually the one I get! If you are ever around the apple valley area make sure you stop here and take a walk around cobblestone lake and if you still have energy do some shopping at target. If you have extra time book yourself a spa service at clovr spa and have a relaxing day! When you have worked up an appetite go stop by Texas Roadhouse! Perfect summer day!

I recently came to this Rita's location on the first day of spring as they had a deal to get a free…read moresmall ice! I will say for how busy the store was the associates had great attitudes and were very helpful. I tried the strawberry colada and new skittles flavor and I loved the strawberry colada!! It was fruity and a little tropical. The skittles was good but not as refreshing and felt a bit more artificial and sweet.

Service was fine and my drink tasted good. One thing that threw me off a little was the straws were all just sitting in a container unwrapped which made me realize I definitely prefer for them to be individually wrapped as it gives me a bit more peace of mind that others germs aren't all over it if they're grabbing from the same place. Otherwise this was a fine experience, no real issues but didn't blow me out of the water either.

When I saw Kurb Side's adorable old fashioned/retro truck parked near Tin Fish, I had to restrain…read moremyself from screaming and jumping for joy. You're telling me that I can get a Sno Ball, like I'm used to getting only in the South, at Lake Calhoun?! Remember on Saved By the Bell when Jessie took speed and was in an aerobic video and said manically over and over, "I'm so excited!" That was me minus the drugs and the spandex. Okay, giddiness aside if I must, here's what you need to know: *two sizes, served in take-out containers. Small (think a side of rice) - $3, large (think what your last order of Kung Pao chicken came in) - $5 *a TON of flavors including Georgia peach, wedding cake, tiger's blood (yes, you read that correctly), blue bubble gum, dreamsicle *additional flavors or sweet cream will run you an additional $.50 each *they have sugarfree options, which I forgot to explore since I was just too excited, a la Jessie Spano I ordered the small king cake as this is a New Orleans-style sno ball truck, after all. It was a perfect purple sno ball with unidentifiable sweetness. I don't know what king cake is supposed to taste like, but I do know that there wasn't a tiny baby in my sno ball like there are in traditional king cakes. That would have been super creepy. It's finally (maybe, hopefully, finger-crossed) summer in Minneapolis and this should be at the tip-top of everyone's bucket list for the foreseeable future.

I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for a future event!

I purchased a $1,950 product from swaniceshavers.com, an online store owned by Crystal Fresh, and…read moreneeded to return it shortly after it arrived. I contacted them to get a return authorization number and was told that they would impose a 20% restocking fee even though I never opened the packaging that it arrived in. That's $390 to simply allow me to return the product! While Crystal Fresh is not the only company in the world to charge restocking fees, I find this type of policy to be unfair when they end up reselling the product again for full price to someone else. All this restocking fee does is upset customers. And guess what? I'm upset! I will never purchase from any Crystal Fresh company again since there are tons of other places to get the same products without old fashioned return penalties. Crystal Fresh, I hope the $390 you made off me is worth this negative review.
