Cafe Nutrition

I like this place, but it has some glaring flaws. I could be wrong but my guess is that it is operated by someone who lacks much experience in the restaurant business. Here are the issues I see: mistakes with orders are frequent. This appears to be strictly a communication issue. When the person who took my order makes my smoothie, it is perfect, generally. When that is not the case, things are missing or the wrong ingredients are used. Not always, but often enough to merit a comment. I was also told recently when I asked exactly what is in my smoothie that “I’m not really supposed to say everything that goes in them because my boss doesn’t like us to do that.” Say what? That’s a problem. She told me, but, red flag raised nonetheless. Also, there seems to be no consistency in presentation. I ordered food to dine in and it was served to me at my table wrapped in deli paper. No plate, no cutlery, no napkin. I looked around at other diners and saw they had plates. It’s clear that my dine in order was mistaken for a to go order, but dude...you can see that I’m clearly eating in, so correct your mistake and we’re good. Overall, there seems to be a general lack of organization and leadership. The employees with whom I interact are generally very hard working and competent, so, I don’t blame them for these issues. It appears that a little more training and leadership would solve them. By now it sounds like I don’t like the place. Not true at all, I do and I keep coming back. As for the good: the food is delicious, really good, the smoothies are excellent, and the decor is very inviting. The staff is friendly in a non-phony (read, “bubbly”, yuck) kind of way. I appreciate that they never speak to me in that ridiculous customer service voice people use. I’ll keep coming back, but please, for your own sake, address these issues!

This place is just exceptional with everything they make! Their fresh green lettuce is top notch! Amazing smoothies too. I highly recommend their chicken walnut cranberry salad, chicken salad Sandwhich and the Cubano is really the best Cubano I've every had anywhere I've tried in the state!!

Once you eat at Cafe Nutrition and experience the bold FLAVOR of the chef's creations, you will be hooked. We are so fortunate to have a restaurant of this caliber in the Valley. All menu items have been carefully selected and use quality fresh ingredients. The coffee and smoothies are amazing. The staff will even customize your beverage upon request. We arrived at closing time by accident last night. Jeff welcomed us anyway and prepared a wonderful dinner for us. Can not ask for better service !!!
Can't wait for the Rice Bowls and more Brisket. Thank you Jeff and staff !!!

It was such a nice place to take a break with a couple friends while we were biking around the area. Their smoothies are delicious, and the cafe itself is a calm and relaxing place. It is a little bit pricey compared to a fast food resteraunt, but the quality is worth it.

My new favorite smoothie place. The Popeye green smoothie was fantastic. Also sandwiches wraps rice bowls coffee and tea. The sandwiches we tried were amazing. Highly recommend stopping by this place for lunch or just a smoothie to go. Yum

Food was good quality and reasonable price. Smoothie was also very good and seemed healthy. When I ordered I advised I wanted tomatoes. It showed on register no tomatoes. I told cashier I would like tomatoes. She said it would come with tomatoes, it did not arrive at table with tomatoes.

Toasted Sandwich was unpleasant. Lettuce had gone to black slime . Unappetizing. Soup over spicy with all dark meat chicken bits, not very much white chicken poblano. Took it back. Staff did not seem interested. Just said it was a matter of taste and order my sandwich without lettuce. Have been there many times. Always excellent. Long wait for a unremarkable lunch

I absolutely love this place! It's so classy and the customer service is super friendly and warm! I'll definately come back soon! I do have a small suggestion though. Even though the smoothies are like the super best, I think there should be like a "smoothie day" where one day out of the week, you get smoothies for half off and or/ buy one smoothie get one free? I think you would get much more business if there where more like deals and promotions :) other than that SUPER good place to go to! I LOVE IT!

Waited 25 minutes in the drive thru for 2 burritos and 1 drink. Cashier gave us a forced-sounding apology for the wait upon giving us our food. Despite the large size and nicely toasted tortilla, we opened our burritos to find that one was loaded with tomato, onion, and ranch-- which we specifically requested be omitted-- and found the other to have next-to-near raw bacon inside. I picked it out, but still ended up with an upset stomach after my meal. For $19? I am not impressed, and will not be back. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the larger portion size. To improve business, do not serve food through drive thru if you are understaffed. I get that mistakes happen and people have bad days, but a decent apology would have been nice, like "Hey guys, I'm really sorry about the long wait-- this is why it took so long.." You get more bees with honey.

Smoothies are good, prices are average. The drive thru window is a plus. I wish they had a little bigger selection of flavors and dietary restriction options.
