| - I felt so bad, still do, knowing I had to write this review nearly as soon as I got in my car. I hate writing reviews about places like these where people are so friendly and serviceable and helpful. But it must me done I guess.
I really wanted to visit this store so we drove a good 15 minutes to get to it. I am not sure what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't what this place was. I am in love with the South Blvd. location. It is one of my favorite markets in town. I guess I was expecting something comparable. Boy... was I mistaken!
For starters, this is the size of a shoebox. As we walked in the girl invited to try some free samples of "healthy" soda made with Agave instead of sugars. We love agave sweetener so we said, "hell yes!" Well, the soda wasn't great, we wouldn't buy it, but also, and maybe "healthy" also means "warm", but that's what the sodas out of the fountain were, lukewarm. Which just made them that much more unappealing.
We went there expecting to find lunch and their only grab and go area had 4 sandwich wraps, one tuna salad, three chicken salad. They all looked boring, limp and with nothing more than the salad and lettuce. Becky immediately reached over for the only tuna wrap on the half empty counter. After much deliberation, and circling some aisles for an alternative, I ended grabbing one of the chicken wraps.
I also grabbed, what looked like, a delicious spinach salad in a plastic container. I'm already not the happiest customers.
We then proceeded to wander around the halls. The craft beer selection is awesome! and I am sure if you're into the products they have, you won't be disappointed. After checking out the beer I darted to the nuts/dried fruit/grain dispensers. The South Blvd location has an awesome wasabi nut mix that I love. This HHM on the other hand boasts of roughtly 300 different dispensers, all full of different kinds of nuts, grains, etc. They had it all... except for the fabled wasabi mix I was looking for. At this point I just wanna leave and eat my food.
I'm not even gonna pussyfoot around the food... it was GOD AWFUL!! The wraps were soaked and felt as they had prepared it the previous night and let it sit overnight. There was barely any flavor to the puréed chicken that was plopped in my wrap, which also gave it a very odd texture. I could have made a better wrap at my house with a cold flour tortilla and leftover chicken.
The salad was an abomination unto itself. The first thing I did was stir it around a little bit since it was nicely section into walnuts, cheese and cranberries. The monstrosity they passed as shaved carrots underneath the façade of nuts, cheese and berries was disgusting. The carrots were nastily soaked in god-knows-what and were turning brown. The Spinach was also soggy and the whole thing tasted bitter and old. I took two bites... that's it.
I rarely, if ever, throw away food. but all of this shit ended up in the trash. Again, I feel bad because everyone in there was so awesome, but this experienced SUCKED HAIRY ASS!
I don't plan on going back, any craves I have that come from HHM will wait until I am near the South Blvd. location.
