This moment they didnt seem like they were happy to serve the customers. Never said thank you, have a good day etc.
My bread was hard on the ends. I'll have to go to another location with the welcoming service.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the sort of business that makes you feel like you've walked into a mini vacation right in the middle of Lexington. The moment you step through the doors, the luminous colors, beach decor, and relaxing music create a tropical getaway from the day-to-day hustle. It's effortless to forget you're in Kentucky when you're sipping on a Bahama Mama or Sunrise Sunset smoothie. The fresh, fruity smells and pleasant staff add to the laid-back, seaside environment. It's also a surprisingly excellent spot to get work done—there's a ton of seating, reliable Wi-Fi, and just the right amount of environmental noise to help you concentrate. I usually bring my schoolwork here to catch up on it or read while enjoying something refreshing and nutritious. Tropical Smoothie Cafe is great if you're looking to relax, refuel after the gym, or study in a chill setting; it's the perfect tropical getaway.

Service was terrible. My order was finished but was just sitting there forever while they sat around taking. Then just handed me the bag and said nothing. They need to take some lessons in customer service.

A very nice family who owns this. I am a regular. They do a great job, food is good, and great location right off campus.
