"When we finally got our order, I took my first sip and was very disappointed—it tasted like flavored water, no exaggeration. I couldn't help but wonder if they were running low on syrup and trying to stretch it to fulfill demand. Yes, syrup—not real fruit. The ice was not finely blended; it seemed like they used a non-professional blender, resulting in a texture more akin to an ICEE slushie rather than a creamy smooth blend. It resembled chunkier Hawaiian shaved ice, which meant that when you took a sip, the juice would be gone, leaving a mountain of ice behind.
I looked up their permanent location, and it seems promising. Perhaps the limitations of being a mobile vendor affected the quality and flavor of their offerings at the festival. Given their extensive menu of teas and smoothies, I expected much more. It seemed like everyone who took a sip after receiving their order shook their heads in disappointment, just like my boyfriend and I did."
