    I love Tropical Smoothie, but this location is awful. There will always be multiple employees just hanging out at a table on their phones and sometimes one behind the counter. They have attitudes, get irritated when you order, and any smoothie I've gotten has been terrible. They are always watered down, hardly any flavor, many big chunks of ice left, and the cup will never be full anywhere near the top. Management is very unhelpful and rude too. Don't waste your money or your time at this location.

    Have been coming here for years with no issues. Now without warning the smoothie is a fraction of the size it used to be when getting it in the pair and save bundle. Just be aware that they no longer give you the normal size smoothie anymore.

    I recently purchased a Peanut Paradise from here. I ordered on the app. The smoothie didn't really have any flavor and the consistency was off. It's my favorite and I get it all the time but it did not taste right. The previous time I went, the vibe seemed a little better and my smoothie tasted okay but this time was just not that great. O usually go to the one on Kanis but they were not open. I might return in the future but it is hit or miss.
