Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly describe counter service that left them waiting or turned away. Several say staff ignored them for minutes with no one else in line, one was told the smoothies were all gone well before closing, and another says a worker shouted that she would not serve them while they were still reading the menu. A regular says a card for a free drink was refused because the manager is rarely in, and another says staff routinely claim to be out of peanut butter with no sign saying so. The drinks draw less comment. One reviewer found an orange juice on offer tasted like boxed supermarket juice with a bitter finish, and another called the smoothies just average. Two reviewers had a better visit. One smoothie was a Halloween themed blend that the staff member made with banana in place of blueberry, and another reviewer says a staff member explained the allergens thoroughly and the smoothie was delicious.

“Had a very pleasant experience today. Jasmine was so helpful and explained the allergens so thoroughly and was really sweet. Thank you to Jasmine and Cloud for the great service and delicious smoothie”

“Staff member very clearly did not want to be there or interact with customers. I get front facing work is hard and unrewarding, but ignoring customers during quiet times of day for multiple minutes is taking the piss a little. Every customer is also a person who works, we're not here trying to make your life worse or day hard by politely waiting to order a smoothie. Particularly if there's no line. You don't need to smile or cheer or work till your arms fall off but you do need to actually take orders or the stall might as well be closed.”

“Rude service ruined an otherwise average visit Visited Fuel Juice Bar Cardiff with my sister and aunty and unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The servers (Amy and Jazz, though they seemed hesitant to give their names) came across as indifferent, with Jazz in particular being noticeably rude in her manner and attitude. Customer service really lets this place down — it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than customers. The smoothies themselves were just average, nothing that would justify returning, especially given the poor service. Overall, not a great experience. Wouldn’t recommend based on this visit.”

“I ordered an orange juice due to it being on offer. I've been a regular here in the past for quite a few years when it first opened so I knew exactly what to expect. Unfortunately what I received was not fresh orange juice. It tastes like the boxed orange juices you'd buy in the supermarket or maybe it was just stale orange juice which was squeezed ages ago. Left a bitter taste in my mouth.”
