Pick a different location stay away from this one. I ordered a smoothie I’ve ordered many times in the past and from several locations . It tasted sour . I asked the owner if she could add some more white chocolate to make it a bit sweeter because it didn’t taste the way it usually tasted . She told me I would have to pay for additional ingredients. I tried explaining that I’m not adding additional ingredients im trying to correct this smoothie . I said it doesn’t taste right and I’ve ordered this item many times. She said if I didn’t want to pay for the up charges for an already overpriced smoothie I could add honey or sugar. I told her I don’t agree with her options and I won’t be returning. I’ve been stopping in that location since they opened. I thought the goal for businesses is to keep customers happy not send them away to frequent other businesses. I can recommend going to another location where they aren’t so cheap with the ingredients and want the customers to return . Maybe someone should explain to her customers are essential to a takeout restaurant. I’ll be going elsewhere. Apparently the 2 other food items I ordered for takeout with the smoothie wasn’t enough for her to correct the issue . She must get those ingredients to go a long way by not putting in the correct amount . Also the banana I ordered for a side for a wrap was overripe and brown .

I always order no sugar and include almonds instead and every tropical I go to do not charge you except this location which charged me $1.59 that is outrageous

On 8/18 around 7ish I was greeted by Yessania F which was not very happy to see me I mentioned I had a reward I like to redeem on the app but I don’t know how to get it working, she just said copy and paste on the app and walked away she came back and asked me “if I figured it out yet” which I reply but notice she didn’t even wait to hear my respond because she walked away while I was talking, after I got the app working she took my order. My smoothie was 80% ice and 20% juice she didn’t even blend it well because it was chunks of ice on my cup, maybe she needs better training or a job where she doesn’t ruin people’s experience.
