So...let's jump right in. Let me say, I used Yelp reviews to find this spot. Bon Bon Berry is in a small shopping area, nestled in between a nail shop and a print shop... It's not too hard to locate. Note: Small lot and few parking spots.
The guy working behind the counter was the order taker and preparer, kudos to him for being it all, HOWEVER, not friendly but not rude either. Ya kno' one of those people who just doing the bare minimum. It's a job for him. What had me raise an eyebrow was what I witnessed when he was preparing my order. I guess he was sweating, and he used his forearm to wipe the sweat from his forehead. That was a temporary fix because he grapped a few paper towels nearby (the sink is in close proximity to the preparation area) to wipe his forehead. Now, maybe this is just a "ME" thing, but I feel he should have washed his hands after touching his face multiple times and dealing with bodily fluids (IJS).
At $13 per smoothie bowl, I will find me a different location that has friendly staff, and hand washing is a routine practice. Usually, I give places a second try because everyone has a bad day, but I'm hard NO on cleanliness.
The rest of the establishment was clean, including the counters and the food stations where they spoon out toppings. There are a few tables and chairs inside for customers to sit at. I don't know if there is a bathroom for customers.
The smoothie bowl was ok. On a scale of 1 to 5, it's a solid 3, here's why:
1. The portion size is great, in my opinion, for the price.
2. The taste was a bit funky, and I'm not sure what was off exactly. I was left with an aftertaste and that I didn't like.
3. No honey or agave was added, and I love me some honey or agave.
For me, this place is a no. I will pull into a Jamba Juice next time.
