| - "Meh" is exactly how I feel about this place. I wanted it to be great. When it first opened, I was happy that a health food store would be opening in the area.
On my first visit i remember paying over $10 for a smoothie - and not even a big one at that. one. I was (and still am) momentarily shocked every time I have to pay for my smoothie and it totals over 10 dollars for what is basically some protein powder and a banana.
The smoothies are REALLY expensive here, but I guess that is just fine for the yuppie, yoga mom demographic they cater to like all the little health food places in this area.
Anyway, the service is slow, sometimes pretentious and kind of rude. There is one young man who is an exception to the rule. He has a smaller build and a shaggy hairdo - he is friendly and accommodating. There is one woman who works here who is simply not friendly, generally unwelcoming, and vacant seeming. She has dirty blonde hair.
One item which I would like to make a note of is that no one ever seems to wear gloves when they make sandwiches - i find it rather unsanitary. Maybe they are trying to reduce waste by not using gloves, but if you are going to do that, PLEASE be diligent with your hygiene. More than once I have watched people making my sandwich with grimy looking, unwashed hands (don't ask me why i didn't say anything at the time). I have never seen anyone wash their hands before making a sandwich. i have had one person stop in the middle of making my sandwich to go finish something else and then come back and continue to place items on my sandwich such as chicken without washing her hands! Gross!!!
It is nice that they offer chicken and bacon for salads/sandwiches when Urban Herbivore across the street is all vegan, which is kind of annoying.
The selection in grocery items is shitty because its a small store. However, they occasionally have some items that I wouldn't expect them to have.
Overall,The smoothies and juices are GREATLY overpriced. You can get a beet juice here for about 8 DOLLARS and at Urban Herbivore across the street you can get one for about 3 BUCKS and it tastes way better. The convenience store on the South side of College, a few doors west of Octopus Gardens actually has a greater selection of health food items at comparable prices. The YMCA has a little cafe where you can get smoothies and sandwiches. I would rather patronize the aforementioned businesses because at least the people who work there are nice.
