Our analysis of public reviews — a summary of what people wrote, not a star rating. Tone: Highly polarized: enthusiastic loyalty from satisfied customers who describe it as a 'happy place' and 'heaven,' contrasted sharply with deeply negative experiences from customers reporting discrimination, poor service, and feeling unwelcome. Many reviews express hurt and embarrassment..
