    This location has gone through a fantastic management change. Smoothies are made quickly and efficiently. They always greet you and are very pleasant. Thank you!

    Went to order food here at 8:37pm on a Friday. Restaurant said they were closed even though it closed at 9pm. Pointed it out to the guy working and he had some BS remark. Go to Jersey Mikes instead…they will happily serve you right up until closing.

    Waited in line for 15 minutes to receive service, was never acknowledged while staff worked on other orders. Three people left in the time I waited. Ordered three smoothies and presented one coupon for a free smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe, was told “no. Don’t accept.” Was a waste of time for terrible service.

    To my folks with nut allergies don’t EVER come here! I took a look behind the counter from where you pick up your smoothie, they place the nut blenders DIRECTLY next to the nut free blenders, the old management had previously reassured me that they are placed separately but this new management simply does not care about your health!! There are also a million flies when you walk in and they will SWARM you for your entire visit. When the Indian employee takes your order it will make you not want anymore because of the insanely HORRIBLE ODOR. This used to be one of my favorite snack spots and it has been completely RUINED by these new employees!

    For your own good, do not come here. They are VERY unsanitary and unprofessional. I came here a few days ago and I witnessed the Indian guy take a customers cash and then didn’t wash his hands or put on gloves before making their food. I also witnessed him refilling the liquids in the smoothie area directly into the container from a bottle, meaning the smoothies you drink could have MONTHS old ingredients. He was also VERY unhelpful and could not provide ANY recommendations for my son. Although his service was horrible, the teenage boy working with him was polite and gave us recommendations. Still does not make up for the unacceptable unsanitary practices.
