Keva Juice - Isleta Pueblo

The hours here are some of the strangest I’ve encountered in this town, known for its unusual business hours. It's clear that this place relies on student employees without saying it outright. In most parts of America, juice smoothie shops open at 6 AM every day, but not in Albuquerque. Here, it’s a challenge just to get someone to show up for work, let alone adhere to reasonable operating hours. It's pretty amusing!

I tried to visit this Keva for the second time today, and unfortunately, it was another disappointment. Both times I checked their hours online, which indicated that they were open, but when I arrived, I found the place closed. Today, I also placed my order online in advance. My payment went through, and I received a confirmation message, but now I have no way to contact anyone to get my refund.

The Google listing indicated that the restaurant would be open until 3 PM, but when I arrived, it turned out they only serve until 2 PM. Their hours are extremely limited, and there was only one staff member working during my visit. They're closed on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Additionally, parking can be a challenge if you're not a hotel guest.

Good smoothies, my favorite smoothie place by far. I can't hear to workers over the sound of blending and through the plexy glass shield and they can't hear me, important when you want them to get your order correct. Too loud! And they no longer accept cash,bthats a huge inconvenience to me. I frequently have cash on me, and I expect business to accept all legal tender.

1/5 solely because their website doesn't specify Gluten Free items (this would be a super easy fix) And the Acai Bowls are not gluten free according to staff. No clue what anything tastes like so take my review with a grain of salt, unless you're GF then be cautious.
