    Clean place, staff are friendly, the food looked and smelled very fresh. Price wasn’t bad, I got a medium sunshine smoothie I think and I added protein powder and it was $8. Only complete, could barely hear the drive through attendant. It was either him talking too low or the mic outside was turned up enough. I’ll definitely go back after gym time, I’m craving a smoothie now!

    Considering the price my smoothie was awful--- just tasted like sour orange juice. Not worth the money or time.

    Dont waste your time, go to the other tropical smoothie Cafe in Harrisonburg. The quality control here is terrible, the smoothies taste empty like they are missing ingredients, and the food is lackluster.

    This location is unreasonably slow no matter what time of day you go! I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt in the past, but it has been months and the service hasn’t gotten any faster. They’re clearly short staffed and need to work on improving wait times for customers. I had plenty of time to write this review while waiting 15 minutes for my smoothie, despite only being behind two cars in line!

    Stopped in for something clean for dinner while traveling and both of us spent the most of the night on a toliet. We ordered 2 smoothies and a chicken flatbread sandwich. Do better.
