"The atmosphere was charming, and the cashier was friendly. However, they have an additional fee that contributes to the wages of the kitchen staff. While I support this idea in principle, I was surprised to see it included only on my emailed receipt, along with tax, which made my smoothie cost over $15 after tip. Even the listed price of $12 feels excessive. I was in a hurry, but it definitely wasn’t worth it. The "cholesterol fighter" smoothie tasted old, as if the ingredients had been sitting around for ages, and the texture was gritty. They seemed to use an opaque cup to hide the unappealing muddy brown color. I tried it despite my reservations about the price, but I won’t be returning."
