Quick shoutout to Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Fast service, great energy, and consistently solid smoothies that actually taste fresh. Maddie at the counter was especially awesome. Super friendly, efficient, and made the whole experience smoother than the smoothie itself. Easy place to keep coming back to.
