destiny is the rudest worker i have ever met at a tropical smoothie cafe of my three years of being a customer! she gave me a unpleasant experience and she smelled like straight marijuana while serving me. she is also terribly rude to her coworkers and i will never be coming back to this location other locations do it better!

I came to this restaurant recently and the young lady named Destiny went to the bathroom before me, but when I went in after her it was smokey like a vape or a weed pen had just been used. I am typically not one to complain but the smell of thc gives me really bad migraines and I also feel this is extremely unprofessional. I will not be returning.

Isabella & Jayda were absolutely amazing. ❤️. I usually see Tyler or Landon, but today I was greeted by two beautiful smiles. I am not sure who opened this tropical smoothie Café, but this is definitely one of the best locations in the city! My smoothie and food items are always fresh and delicious. I will come here before I go anywhere else no matter how far I have to travel! Thank you management, and thank you staff for always being lovely and welcoming! Keep up the great work!
