| - I was looking forward to loving this place, I LOVE green smoothies, organic juices, and healthy foodie options. My friends and colleagues in the DTLV & tech community have raved about the good experiences they've had here. I was really really really looking forward to this place and I'm all about supporting local small businesses. My foodie friend and I drove all the way from Anthem (Henderson) to try this. At least a 30 minute drive.
Sadly, I was disappointed. I have made my own smoothies and juices at home for years and I was disappointed with what I tried here. Service was great, staff was friendly but not informative. I wanted to try the smoothie bowls, that was what we drove across town for, but it wasn't available. They didn't have the ingredients in store.
Okay, no problem. There were a few smoothies I wanted to try because of the ingredients they use. I asked for my second, third, fourth choice. Sadly, those weren't available either. All the ones I wanted to try were not available. Or rather they couldn't make it because they didn't have all the ingredients but informed me that the fruits are on they're way there. They didn't have an estimated time when they would arrive either. Ugh, come on now. Throw me a bone! And we got there in the afternoon.
So....... I settled with the Tropical Basil ($8). I didn't really want it, but I wanted to try something here. Sadly, I was disappointed again. I felt so confused and disappointed I didn't realize that the Tropical Basil is suppose to be a juice, not a smoothie. I had a sip before I left, and it tasted alright. I tipped them a few bucks and left. After looking at the menu again, I realized the Tropical Basil is a juice. Or it should be. The drink I had was thick, more of a grainy smoothie with chunks. I'm surprised because even with Vitamix, this should have been smoother.
My friend had the Dirty Chai ($10) she was disappointed as well, and yes, we both complained about it being chunky and grainy and not worth the $10+ tip.
They were also at the Yelp event Redline Rendevous in October, but yet again it didn't make up for my previous experience. I had a sample of their popular green smoothie, I think it was Holy Grail of Greens and a healthy truffle. The truffle was flavorless and the smoothie, well I could have made something better.
I am so sorry, I really don't want to give a 2 star, but yes "meh. I've experienced better." I don't want this review to seem like I hate this place or discourage other yelpers from trying this place, I advise you to try it for yourself. I'm not saying I won't try this place again, but I don't know if I would drive all the way from Henderson, pay for parking, and go out of my way to try this place again. I hate to say it but just writing this makes me feel disappointed and let down.
