I ordered on Too Good To Go for a Tuesday evening pickup. I had just had surgery the night before so I was a little absent-minded and forgot to pick up my order. I left a message to see if I could maybe pick something up with no expectations in place, but the manager called me back today and made sure that I got something. This was my first time trying anything from Purple Banana and between the food and the customer service, I will be back! The food I picked up was delicious and tasted fresh - the perfect post-surgery pick me up with great customer service from everyone involved. Thank you for making my day!!
Staff are amazing and friendly! It’s always nice to know that a healthy option for a snack or lunch is always available! Location is great and local to SU and hospital! As a parent…. Sometimes overnight stays at the hospital are unexpected… and it’s nice to know we have access to a healthy option! Thanks Purple Banana!
I came here with a friend for a quick lunch and got an acai bowl with a smoothie. Overall my food was refreshing and staff were friendly. It wasn't busy when we got there but seemed to be filling up before we left. Staff had our to go order ready within 5 minutes despite a 15 minute wait time being indicated. 5 stars from me!
My go-to spot for delicious and healthy smoothies. The variety of options, including the ability to create your own, makes this place stand out. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, helping me navigate through the menu. The quality of their ingredients, the friendly service, and the delightful atmosphere make it deserving of a five-star rating.
