So the first episode of food poisoning from here was in June. I bought a chai frappuccino. I had bad cramps, diarrhea, bloody stool and nausea that lasted for 7 days. I went here for the first time yesterday after my last episode and I bought a... See More chai frappuccino again. A few hours after drinking it, the symptoms started again. Not as extreme this time. I've had diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. I will never go to this place again. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps, Bloody Stool See Less
