Kaleidoscope Juice - Phoenix

I will start by saying that I love Kaleidoscope and have been a loyal customer for many years. I used to frequent the location that used to be inside the Madison Improvement Club in Arcadia Lite. Since then, I’ve been to the Scottsdale locations and the Gilbert location and have always had a great experience. I know and appreciate the quality of the products they use and make so I don’t mind paying the price because I feel it is fair. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed by my visit to this location today. I got the “secret menu” blueberry smoothie and the vanilla mint cold brew. The smoothie tasted good, but the texture was pretty unpleasant. It was chalky as if the protein powder hadn’t been fully blended in and it was also very icy. I did place a pickup order so I’m thinking perhaps it was prepared in advance and stored in the freezer to keep it cold until I arrived. I understand it can’t just be left out on the counter, but I think just storing it in the fridge would allow for a more pleasurable experience drinking the smoothie. I am used to creamy and delicious smoothies from here so the texture honestly ruined it for me. For a nearly 15 dollar smoothie, I definitely expect better. The cold brew was also a let down. I didn’t get any other flavors from it besides peppermint and it was so strong it was almost like drinking toothpaste. Peppermint is a very assertive flavor and must be handled with a light hand. I assumed it would be well balanced with the maple syrup, vanilla and milk, but I couldn’t taste anything else. The girl working was alone when I arrived and seemed quite busy. She was still friendly and accommodating. Despite the good service, I feel like I just wasted 25 dollars on 2 items that were mediocre at best and not even enjoyable to consume. For this reason, I do not plan to come to this location again.

Awesome little shop in a modern office building. The selection of drinks and snacks mirrors the other locations, but what makes this location special is the relaxed modern environment. You can sit inside or outside in the courtyard....as well as other convenient sitting areas.

This location is extremely tucked off, but an amazing stop when you're in the neighborhood. Both of the employees were extremely nice and helpful and the smoothie was perfect as usual.

Love this place! Their Strawberry Warrior collagen smoothie is the best! Friendly staff!

Love kaleidoscope so much!! Nothing compares to their smoothies and customer service?
