    Smoothies are good but the atmosphere makes a big difference. The employees are inattentive, dont acknowledged you when you come in and dont say hi when they come to register. I was the one greeting since she just stood looking at me without saying a word. Will not be visiting this location again. There was someone else who came in right after to complain as well.

    Usually 2 employees with 1 of them seemingly doing all the work. Even when busy, the 2nd employee just finds busy work to do, instead of helping customers. Wait time shouldn't be as long, I have seen little mall kiosks turn over more customers in less time

    I usually love tropical smoothie Café, But this time was a little different. I normally order an açai bowl before work. When I went in today, I ordered my usual açai bowl and when I got to opening it I saw there were no strawberries on top. Not only that but the acai was frozen solid I couldn’t even eat it. My spoon won’t even go through it. I’ve never had a bad experience at one until today. I’ll just stay away from this location.
