This was the best place Acai place me and my friends have ever went to. The smoothies were phenomenal. All the workers had a good attitude and all of them were very kind. There was also a new worker who was very kind as well and looked like she knew a lot like she was doing showing that this place trains very good and workers adapt quickly.
