This additional fee pushed the total cost far beyond what Lee had anticipated.Breaking down the costs, each roll was priced at $19, with an additional $3 charged for the avocado on each roll. The iced coffees, initially priced at $10 each, incurred an extra $6 due to the ice cream toppings.Despite the shock of the bill, Lee stated that the quality of the food was tough.
