Amazon Forest Cafe

Really good smoothies… Pbj my favorite. Breakfast wrap or chicken panini are very tasty and filling. Great place to grab a bite after a workout or for any meal. Also conveniently located inside gold’s gym with a separate outside entrance. Nice people with great service.

So myself, my boyfriend and my sister walked into the café hoping to get a quick bite for dinner. The lady behind the counter was prepared to take our food order until her coworker cut her off and said the kitchen was closed. Some quick logistics: the café closes at 9, but they close their entire kitchen at 8. Something isn’t adding up here.
A few months ago, the same guy told us that they close their kitchen a half hour early. Now it’s an hour. Very inconsistent. Seems more like he just didn’t want to work.
They hadn’t even started to clean the kitchen yet, so we asked if we could quickly order some wraps and take them to go. They still refused to take our order.
Frustrated as we were, we decided to not deal with these lazy employees and take our business elsewhere. As we were leaving, the employee who seemed to be the supervisor also said «there’s no need to be so rude» right to our faces. I don’t know where this guy learned his customer service skills, but he left much to be desired.
As we left we expressed our frustrations regarding their horrible interpersonal communication skills and immediately left. Needless to say, we won’t be bringing any business to the café as long as lazy employees like this are still behind the counter.
This fiasco aside, as you may see in my original review, this place used to rock. Lately they have been seriously slacking. The wraps have one or two slices of deli meat, while they used to be bursting with whatever protein you chose. No longer the tasty cottage cream I used to love but just plain cottage cheese.
Too bad. I really loved the convenience of this little place.

Attached to the awesome Gold’s Gym next store this no frills healthy café offers up a diverse selection of juices, salads, wraps, acai bowls, breakfast wraps, fruit and protein smoothies, along with other beverages and healthy items.
Perfect way to feed the machine after a big workout with a solid protein shake mixed with the fruit of your choice. Be aware they close by 9pm during the week as I discovered but Gold’s is open ²⁴⁄₇.
