    This location is favorite for my family & I. We tried to stop by once a week to grab our favorite smoothies (Island Green + Peanut Butter Cup) with a wrap (Southwest, usually). The staff are typically the same, super-nice folks. The drive-thru isn't always the quickest...but that's fine. You can't keep a customized Island Green smoothie in a warming drawer! We love their excellent service & great attitudes!

    It wasn't crowded.. it's at the back. Food is ok, but nothing to write home about. Friendly staff! Helpful! Long wait... Although 1 car in drive thru and only customer inside

    I've been working in the area near this location and I just signed up for there rewards program so I received a number of different promotions recently so in the last 5 days I've had lunch there 4 times and I've had an issue every single time! The staff hasn't been trained properly at all and that's management's fault.

    Employees made the atmosphere feel extremely unwelcoming. They were speaking vulgarly about their personal lives in front of customers while taking a long time to make one smoothie. Will not go back to this location.

    I got the kiwi quencher and it was absolutely wonderful. The store was clean and calm. I'm used to a more upbeat greeting and interactions from tropical smoothies though, and I didn't get that same feel though from the staff at this location.
