Tips from our Readers

Hack: I always ask for no ice in my Refresher because that way you get more to drink! I sometimes go home and add ice if I want to but it's not like the drink isn't cold enough on its own.
If you order off the Secret Menu don't be "that customer," do it when the place isn't very busy so as to not make things harder for the baristas.
