| - this review is in regards to the smoothie/coffee bar only (we all already know how stereotypically yuppie, over-priced and full-of-itself the grocery store part is (and especially the customers; ), though they do have awesome stuff you cant find anywhere else, so i guess they can charge a premium and i will shop here for those specialty/natural items)
anyways . . . the smoothie/coffee bar . . .
in recent purchases, tried some of their iced coffee and a mocha latte. the coffee is terrible. its bitter and has a funky aftertaste. the mocha had so much mocha flavoring it was like drinking syrup but you could still taste the over-brewed, stale coffee! on a positive, they do offer almond milk (which is far superior to soy milk in flavor and consistency) along with a few other alternative milks.
on to my smoothie experience . . . terrible. $5 for a small and i had them remake the first one and couldnt even drink the second one. initially, i asked for peanut butter and they put almost a racquetball-size scoop in (thats like 1/3 to 1/2 of the smoothie!). i love peanut butter. but this was so much peanut butter, i had to chew the smoothie and almost needed an epi-pen, even though im not necessarily allergic to pb in "normal" doses.
so i asked them to remake it without pb. but that was after i stood there while the two girls talked (well, one talked, the other just stood there pretending not to notice me) to some lady about who knows what for a few minutes before even acknowledging me.
and on another note, i know "the kids these days" are all into dubstep music . . . but if you are listening to this type of music blasting through some crappy speakers, it sounds like crap! i used to go to parties, albeit back in the day literally before dubstep was created and all we had was some dnb and jungle music, so i can appreciate some good, bowel-shaking bass and electronic music, but you need decent speakers, otherwise it sounds terrible, like the music the workers had blasting through crappy speakers behind the counter. i was about to get anxiety or epilepsy or something from it.
so the next smoothie they made me was undrinkable also, but i didnt feel like returning it. we figured out they must have used some super-under-ripe bananas in it. was it payback? retribution? im sorry i insulted your inability to balance flavors by suggesting that a smoothie half full of peanut butter was not a pleasant culinary experience.
so yeah, i make smoothies almost daily at home and they are far superior, so ill stick to that. its not brain surgery, just act like you give a shit about the food you are making me.
