The staff here is very slow. But the most important thing is that most of their smoothies/bowls have so much sugar they will give you diabetes. There is a ton of added sugar in all the drinks. Do not consume anything from here if you value your health!

I've been to so many Tropical Smoothies over the last decade and I don't usually write reviews about my experience since I'm usually in and out quickly. The ladies at this location impressed me. My smoothie came quickly and they were friendly and efficient. They seem to care about doing a good job.
