Despite the signage saying to let them know if you have an allergy, this place is NOT allergy friendly! A friend introduced me to this chain while traveling and I'd intended to cautiously try something. However, as I approached the food prep area, I realized there was a massive cross contamination risk, given the way they fling ingredients around. So, I decided to get a smoothie. That is until I asked for no banana and let the girl know I'm allergic. Unfortunately, she said they're already mixed together and allergy accommodations cannot be accommodated. The food prep area and cashier counter are also filthy!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Great place to get healthy food at a good price. They have tacos, bowls, salads, wraps. Food looks and tastes fresh. Employees had a great attitude both times we have been here. And the drinks are delicious!

Love: - If they ask you if you want your salad tossed, go for it. This is one of the few places that do that and it makes a world of a difference to achieve a perfect balance of dressing and savoury ingredients with every bite. - Their drinks are fantastic, the mandarin, cardamomo and turmeric is just incredible and refreshing. - Cutlery is not plastic, but derived from plants. Like: - Salads are great, build your own gives you the option of many possible combinations. - Bathrooms are very clean. - Outdoor seating area is pleasant. Could improve: - The way they advertise their combos is very misleading, they call it choose 2, which to.many means choose 2 sides...but in reality it's only one dish and one side....heard others in line were confused about this too. Call it duos, or main and side, or even main plus one side. - Service is good, but it could be Starbucks or Trader Joe's friendly.
