Food is pretty good, workers are working hard. Occasionally get behind/backed up. Place is small.

My order was not full filled. We have to pay attention when preparing food.
Forgot to put the bacon 🥓. Something told me to check my order but I didn't.
Staff friendly.

Arrived at 7 to grab a smoothie on my way home from dropping my kid off at middle school and the place was closed. I waited a few minutes thinking that maybe there's an inside in the back. Get out of the car, knock on the door, no response.
Then I see a woman come out from the back while it's still pitch black inside. Some guy who works there shows up and unlocks the door, the girl completely ignores that I'm there, and the guy welcomes me in
Wait another 5 mins for them to get their ahit together and the guy calls to the registrar. I order my smoothie, he asks how I'm going tp pay and ai said GPay and he disappears in the back. Not a word as to why. Then the woman comes back, takes my order, and rings me up.
TBH my smoothie should have been comped for that nonsense, but I'm too tired to argue.

omg i had the best time at Tropical Smoothie on Monday thanks to Taloni! i ordered the island green and a cookie dough smoothie (yes, cookie dough!!) and both were actually amazing not too sweet, super creamy. Taloni was so friendly and remembered my order after i said it out loud once which is literally the dream when you’re running late between classes.the place was clean and chill, music wasn’t too loud so i could do a quick study sesh. 10/10 would recommend i’ll be back after track practice for sure.
