Kale Me Crazy Village District Health Food Raleigh

I was surprised to find that made-to-order fresh juice wasn't available. I thought they used to offer it, but it seems that bottled juices are the only option besides smoothies now.

I decided to treat myself to dinner today and ordered the chicken pesto wrap. It was absolutely delicious! While it wasn't cheap at over $13, the portion was quite hearty and satisfying. The flavors were really tasty. Just keep in mind that everything here tends to be on the pricier side.

When I brought the smoothies back to ask for a remake or a refund, the same girl said she didn't speak English and used a translation app on her phone for me to communicate. I explained that the smoothies tasted terrible and requested a remake or a refund. She made a phone call to someone who turned out to be the owner, who spoke Spanish. After their conversation, she handed me her phone. I was told that they wouldn't remake the smoothie because I had added an ingredient, and they wouldn't provide a refund for the same reason. This was a $23 order, and the owner was unwilling to resolve the issue! The employee clearly could not read English, which likely contributed to the mistakes in my order. When I asked who the owner was, she confirmed it was her and reiterated that their policy was no remakes or refunds. I expressed that I would no longer be a customer. It's also worth noting that the door had a hiring sign, yet the two employees on duty couldn't understand or speak English, leading to my order being incorrect. It was extremely frustrating, and I won't be returning. I urge others to steer clear of this place too.

Call me crazy, but if you order a Chicken Pesto wrap, shouldn't the wrap have SOME chicken in it? Your proud cross section cut should expose the best of your wrap containing clearly visible chicken with sufficient lettuce... However the wrap that I received was 95% lettuce, 3% crushed hopes and dreams and about 2% chicken. I understand that in order to keep food costs down, you can reduce the quantities of meat in your food, but this is taking it to another extreme.Sadly, I wasn't the only one at our table impacted by this reduced meat meal. Two of us ordered the wrap, both wraps came out the same way, the other two ordered bowls which looked better.If I had to choose whether to go back there again or not, at this time, I would avoid the place. Not only was the wrap nearly meatless, it was also extremely overpriced for what you get (especially with the lack of chicken). Thankfully, there are plenty of other healthy food options in Raleigh to quench our desires.

It's a decent place, the food is pretty good; but it can't get 4 or 5 stars from me until it takes down the politically and socially divisive Black Lives Matter sign it has in the front of its establishment. We now know and has been proven that the organization Black Lives Matter was an unmitigated scam. Besides, I don't understand what Kale or eating healthy has to do with anything political anyway? No disrespect at all, but Is it too much to ask that they only focus on their niche and create a safe space for ALL people, which includes people who don't subscribe to BLM or rainbow ideologies?
