    I had an online order that was supposed to be delivered they canceled my order didn’t offer me a refund or anything. They didn’t have any bananas or strawberries to put on my açaí bowl. The manager didn’t have the knowledge to know what to do. I wouldn’t recommend this location to a dog. They don’t answer the phone. The floors were dirty and it smelled like they use dirty mop water.

    Asked the Employees about my online order twice and they waited 20 minutes after it was supposed to be ready to tell me they were out of everything in my order. Come here if you want to be late for work and leave with no food.

    Josh, the drive-thru cashier, was cordial and professional even though a free smoothie reward that showed up on my account went away when he tried to select it during my order. I guess I accepted the “I just work here” excuse mainly because I wouldn’t expect him to be able to fix the rewards system as a cashier at the register but Tropical Smoothie needs to fix this immediately.
