    I had a really pleasant experience at Tropical Smoothie Cafe! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and quick to take my order. My smoothie was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly blended, and the food was just as delicious. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

    I came into this establishment as a Dasher, picking up an order for a customer, and when I immediately walked in the employee that was working there, a male of Indian descent had a look of disgust on his face. When I walked in there were two Caucasian individuals patronizing the store at the time I walked in, and he did not speak to me. He did attempt to say something about the order in which i didn’t hear him..so I did attempt to pick up the order in the designated delivery pick up area at which the order was not there and at that point, I then sat down and proceeded to wait on the order to be completed. As I waited the employee had a very nasty look on his face. He kept looking back at me, giving me like bad, frowning, facial expressions and the other two males continue to leave the store as I continue to wait. the employee there looked back at me specifically and then also like gave me another look of disgust . so I asked him I said “I’m sorry what did you say?” Cause I thought he had said something at which he said nothing back to me. as I proceeded to wait on the order as I was waiting so I ended up sitting down, he finished the order and placed the order in the pick up area designated for delivery. He did not ask me what order I had. He did not hand the order to me because clearly I was there picking up an order he deliberately ignored me. I also want you to know that when the other two individuals in the store, had proceeded to leave the store he made it a point to thank them for being in the store and for coming told them to have a good day. as I picked up the order and proceeded to leave out the store he absolutely said nothing to me. He did not look my way he did not thank me for coming to the store or anything. I will never go back into the store again because of the way that I was treated and it was clearly because of the color of my skin and in 2026 You should be ashamed of yourself, sir.

    I come here every morning and get a smoothie and it's always amazing.. Bob and Rick really give the best service. I've been here so much before I even walk in the door they're already making my order. Very attentive and customer based. 5 stars 🌟
