    It’s unfortunate that I have to write this review after my daughter called me and I had to calm her down from an incident with this location having HAIR in her food. A place she frequently visited after workouts at planet fitness. She said this was not the first time of finding HAIR at this location! The owner needs to step up here and teach his employees about being respectful to customers. This makes me not want to eat at any of the Tropical Smoothie places again! YUCK! Playa Bowl here I come!

    I've literally been going there 5 days a week since the 1st day of summer, and continuing! I changed my diet from dunkin donuts to this, and it's a world of difference. Of course I was eating at other places, but a smoothie in the morning, acai bowl in the early afternoon and a flat bread sandwich for lunch, gives me do much energy I need to get through my detailing, power washing and carpet cleaning days! Thanks for the excellent daily service! I've tried a couple of other stores alike, and this is the best fit. From taste, healthy options and the fruits, veggies and protein you need, don't look any further. I stand by it! My energy, no more mental cloudiness, and my ADHD isn't that bad anymore. Discipline and focused. P.S.- don't sleep on the sausage egg and cheese Quesadilla! - Antonio Owner of Dream Auto Detailing and Services LLC

    Twice I came here went to the register to order and stood there for a few minutes. I was the only one in the store. The employees would look at me but never came to the register I had to say hello before they came to me. They don't speak English. This last time a guy came in after me but they made his order first.
